Lunch Hour With Renaut

Throughout the Scripture, God is consistently giving his people commands to follow. What is the purpose of those commands? Does God simply want to inhibit our freedom or thwart our desires? In this episode we will explore how being bound to God's way actually leads us to life and freedom.

When we pray, does God speak back to us or is it only a one way conversation? And if God does speak, what does He say? And how do we know if we are hearing Him and not just our own thoughts? This week we will discuss how to learn the "Language of God" so that when He speaks, we recognize His voice.

Last week we took time to unpack some common objections to the Gospel. This week we will take time to talk about some common distortions of the Gospel, and why it matters that we reject the teachings and avoid the teachers of false gospels.

As we seek to share the Gospel with others, we must recognize that people have valid questions and concerns about what the Gospel claims. We'll take some time this week to share some thoughts on how to have engaging conversations with people, acknowledging their questions, and having thoughtful insights to share with them regarding what we believe about who God is, and what God has done.

What is the Gospel? If you've been around Mosaic for any length of time you know that it's what we care about most! As we seek to become people who share the gospel with our friends, neighbors, co-workers and loved ones, it's important that we are clear on what exactly the Gospel is so that what we share with others is true, and accuratly reflective of the Good News that God's Word reveals to.

As Christ followers, we are active in sharing our faith, we are kind to people, we take time to listen to their stories, and we take time to wonder with them. The reasons we do this is because actively loving people is the very essence of the gospel, not simply a strategy to share the gospel.

During our weekend gatherings, we have been highlighting three areas of focus for Justice and Mercy. These issues include orphan care, poverty alleviation, and the abolition of human trafficking. This is an essential part of making the gospel known to our world. This week on Lunch Hour with Renaut, we will discuss how we can engage more deeply in these areas as individuals and as a community.

During the Vision 2019 series we talked about the incredible opportunity we have to Be With Jesus through Prayer, Go with Jesus through Evangelism, and preparing for the Growth that only God can bring. Over the next few weeks, we will talk about some of the practical ways we can Carry the Gospel to a world which desperately needs the freedom, hope, and beauty that can only be found in the Gospel!
