Life Together
In the next several weeks leading up to our first gathering "next year", we'll be posting excerpts from the book "Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Our hope and prayer is that all members of the Mosaic Community would reflect on these challenging words and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to greater clarity into what God desires for our community. May we all surrender our own "ideal" of community and take up what Jesus has in mind for us.

There is an abundance of scripture which addresses our life in Christ as community (Ephesians 4, Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, etc.). May you be strengthened to take time to study and review these and others as you prayerfully consider how Jesus is leading you to respond.

Our desire for each of you is captured beautifully in the following passages (we need your prayers for us too!):

"We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,

so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way:

bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,

and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Colossians 1:9b-14
