We humans are designed for risk. When we're risking with intention, we're living our lives for something bigger than ourselves. In Matthew, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven as like treasure hidden in a field. It comes only when we're willing to risk everything for it.
In the Beatitudes, when Jesus says, blessed are, he's actually saying happy are. He actually addresses negative emotions like mourning, sorrow, brokenness. The happiest people in the world embrace their sadness. It is about celebrating life all the time. The happiest people in the world are the ones who have a reason to suffer. The apostles left the Sanhedrin rejoicing, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name. We are designed for adventure. If you begin to make choices where you're adverse, then you're not happy.

God In The Fire
During a time of tragic loss with the fires raging in Los Angeles,
Pastor Erwin McManus brought a dynamic message helping us see God’s
presence in the middle of it all.
In the Scriptures, he points out that we often have a multitude of
questions for God during crisis. We ask him why he doesn’t stop tragedy
from happening and where he is when we’re suffering.
But instead of answering us, God comes with his own questions that
challenge us to take responsibility in moments of hardship.
God asks us who he will send into the fire to be a place of refuge for
others.
He asks us who will have the courage to move toward the crisis.
He asks us to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
As Mosaic, we are responding with urgency to the call. We are called to
be a place of refuge for Los Angeles.
Tune into this powerful message and join us as we answer the call.
