A Special Message from Pastor B

Dear Mosaic Family & Friends,

I pray that you are doing EXTREMELY well today. I want you to be among the first to know that we will officially be moving to Mableton, GA on June 1, 2012. We are SUPER pumped to be partnering with Cobb County Schools and will begin having weekly service at Harmony Leland Elementary on June 3, 2012 at 11 am. We have some REALLY fun and exciting things we’ll be doing throughout the summer to impact the lives of the children that attend this school and their families. I’ll share more details soon.

As we prepare to move to this GREAT city, we need your help in a major way and below are 3 real opportunities for you to jump in with us right away:

1. This weekend April 28, 2012 we will be at Wallace Park in Mableton as part of the Keep Cobb Clean Initiative. Many of the children that attend Harmony Leland play sports at this park. We need at least 100 people to show up and we are very far from that goal currently. Breakfast, Lunch, and water will be supplied and you can register HERE right now.

2. Help us make an impact in the lives of hurting families in Mableton by becoming a Mosaic partner and making a one time or recurring gift HERE. Your partnership will allow us to provide books for a summer reading program, supply food for a summer lunch program, purchase a 15- passenger van, and do some AMAZING activities with the youth of our community. * All donations are tax deductible

3. Your talents and gifts are ALWAYS welcome at Mosaic Covenant Church and we would be honored if you’d consider offering your talents, gifts, influence, or time to help us make a difference in Mableton. Regardless of what your gifts are, I am positive we need YOU. More info HERE

We are so excited about all that God is preparing for us in the city of Mableton and we firmly believe in the power of prayer, so please keep us at the top of your prayer list. Thank you in advance for your partnership. Let’s change the world together!

With Love,

Your Friend Pastor B

Hey Mosaic Family,

I pray that you all are doing extremely well today. What an awesome Easter service we had this past Sunday. The story of Easter and the power of the resurrection illuminated an internal light that was dim with matters of the world and not matters of God. I confess….at times I’ve been distracted by the stuff of life. Not by life itself, but by the stuff; the challenges, the issues, the criticisms, the denials, the rejection, and occasional discouragement of others. Can you relate? Because of the stuff of life we tend to put dreams, hope, ambition, faith, and even love on a shelf until “we” figure things out and find a place of normalcy again. The powerful story and reality of the resurrection reminds us that God not only has the power to resurrect dead bodies, but He also resurrects dead dreams, dead ambition, dead relationships, and dead opportunities. This resurrection power allows us to take the lemons life hands us and not only make lemonade, but take the seeds of the lemons, plant them in fertile soil that will grow trees full of lemons season after season for generations to come and then we sell the lemons AND the lemonade back to life. That is the power of the resurrection, which is within you, but you must entrust your spirit to God and allow Him to work through you. Don’t just put your trust “in” Jesus, but put it “on” Him and go and resurrect some dead things in your life.

With God’s love,

Your Bro Pastor B

Hey Courageous Family,

I pray that you all had a wonderful Christmas and are preparing to take 2012 by horns and go after your dreams with a bold and Courageous determination. As I reflect on 2011 personally, I can honestly say that it was one of the most challenging, painful, confusing, joyous, uplifting, and down right weirdest years I’ve had in my life. There were SO many blessings and yet with each blessing came an abundance of challenges and none of which were simple to resolve. I am actively working on some of those things as I write. Some times with so many challenges in our lives it’s difficult to see the blessings. In September I shared a message on “Perspective” and used the illustration of David defeating Goliath. Where David’s brothers saw this great BIG giant that they didn’t think they could kill, young David saw a GIANT that was so big that he could even close his eyes and hit the giant with his slingshot. David had a different perspective. Where his bro thers saw defeat, young David saw great opportunity for victory.

As I reflect on 2011 and ALL of the many challenges, it becomes very easy to get angry, start a new session of the blame game, and bask in self pity, but would that resolve the issue? Can you go back and change the outcome? Probably not, but you can press pause, then restart, and perhaps even fast forward and discover what the blessing is in the midst of your challenges. One of my greatest discoveries of 2011 has been the understanding of my purpose here on Earth. Understanding God’s plan for my life, not my own. Embracing this discovery has been the greatest burden of 2011 yet the most fulfilling spiritually, emotionally, and professionally. Now that I know God’s purpose for my life I can be intentional about aligning myself up with His mission for me. All that I do now should be in direct connection and in concert with the purpose that God has for my life. That applies to YOU too. As you resolve to do something different in your life in 2012, lose weight, pray mo re, tithe more, do more outreach, whatever it is, I personally challenge and dare you to truly discover God’s purpose for your life. In ALL that you resolve to do in 2012, I triple dog dare you to see whose life will be better because of your personal resolutions and if you see that no one other than yourself benefits from your resolutions then I challenge you to make your resolution revolve around others well being and not just your own (John 15:12). I encourage personal resolutions, however let your personal resolutions also make someone’s life better because YOU exist.

If you are reading this and don’t have a church home I personally invite you to visit us at Courageous Church. We are a small, yet powerful community of regular people that Love God! Love People! and Prove It!.

Perhaps you are reading this and used to attend Courageous Church, but have been absent for awhile. I want you to know that I personally miss you and would love to see you on a Sunday to simply embrace you and let you know that I’ve been praying for you and the church feels empty without the uniqueness of YOU. You can also personally email ANY prayer request or check in atbrodericksantiago@courageous.tv.

May God bless your New Year and I look forward to serving God with you all.

With God’s Love,

Your Bro Pastor B
