Truth be told, all families have a way of turning love into a competition of comparing and keep score. 

We measure who’s winning, who’s on par, yet soon to fall behind, and who’s flat out losing. 

In this message from our Advent series A Family Christmas, we step into one of the most painfully relatable family stories in Scripture and see what happens when approval, worth, and belonging get treated like something you have to earn.

We all know what it’s like to put something on that doesn’t fit, and that isn’t really us. 

A version of ourselves meant to fit in, keep the peace, or get what we think we need. 

In this message from Genesis 27, we step into a family story that feels uncomfortably familiar. A story about favoritism, fear, control, and the quiet ways pretending starts to shape our lives.

The Cost of Pretending looks at what happens when good intenti...

If someone summed up your life and relationships in one or two sentences, what would they find? 

And what would that say about how you actually love the people around you and relate to God?

In this message, Pastor Alvin examines one of Scripture's most relatable family stories during the holidays. 

It's about a couple who started out doing everything right—praying instead of forcing things, seeking God when life got hard—but still ...

Life doesn’t stop being messy just because we believe in God. Genesis 16 proves it. 

In this message, Pastor Alvin walks through one of the most chaotic family moments in Scripture and shows how it mirrors the moments when our own lives feel tangled, unfair, or out of control.

This isn’t a story about perfect people. It’s a story about real people—God’s people—who made painful choices, hurt each other deeply, and ran from the fallo...

Loneliness shows up everywhere, even in crowded rooms. Most everyone is surrounded by people yet still wonder where we fit and who really sees us.

In Three Ways Belonging Grows, Bria Johnson shares what it takes for real belonging to form — not just in church, but in everyday friendships, family, and the places we live, work, and play.

Looking at Jesus calling Levi in Mark 2, we see how He treated people who were overlooked or push...

Most of us know what it feels like to want a place where we really fit — where we’re seen, known, and loved, not for what we can prove, but simply for who we are.

In this message, Pastor Alvin Brown talks about how belonging isn’t earned. It isn’t something we hustle for or try to deserve. It’s something God invites us into, especially in the moments when life feels thin, overwhelming, or like we don’t have enough.

Looking at 2 Cor...

What happens when mission doesn’t just reach you, but gets inside you?

In When Mission Gets Inside You, Pastor Alvin Brown closes out our series We Have A Part To Play with a message about what happens when we’re moved from something we believe in to something that changes how we live.

Through 2 Corinthians 5, we’re reminded that mission isn’t just something we do—it’s something that shapes who we become. 

It moves us beyond comfor...

How is technology shaping your relationships, especially in how you relate to God?

We live more connected than ever, yet many of us feel alone. 

In this message, When Tech Reaches Rather Than Replaces, Pastor Alvin invites us to look at how our devices, apps, and feeds can be used as bridges to people rather than barriers between us. 

From Genesis 11 to the life of Jesus, we ask a simple question: does what we create serve the Crea...

We’ve all been there, maybe you’re there now, or you’ll be there soon, when work just wears you down.

You know the feeling. Work starts to feel like a grind, a scoreboard, or just hours spent with little to show for it.

But what if there’s a better way to see the hours you parent, study, serve, or clock in not as time spent with no return, but as time invested with lasting impact?

In this message from Ephesians 4, Pastor Alvin Brow...

Think about this—most of us touch our phones thousands of times a day. 

But all that tapping and swiping means nothing if the phone doesn’t have an operating system. Without it, the phone looks fine on the outside but can’t actually function.

The same is true for us. We have something deeper inside that runs everything we think, feel, and do. The Bible calls it the soul.

What’s something your soul has been hungry for lately?

What will you be remembered for?

At Mosaic Church Fort Worth’s 2-year anniversary, Pastor Alvin Brown invites us to pause and wrestle with that very question. 

Not in terms of the busyness we juggle or the checklists we complete, but in the choices we make, the values we carry, and the kind of people we become.

Drawing from Isaiah 55, this message reminds us that life isn’t just about what we consume. It’s about what we contribute....

What does faith really look like? 

In The CPR of Faith, we look at Abraham’s journey in Genesis 11–12 and how God called him out of the familiar and into the unknown. 

Just like CPR brings life where it’s slipping away, faith revives us and sets us on God’s path.

Abraham’s story reminds us that God doesn’t wait for us to prove ourselves—He interrupts, calls, and promises first. And our response to Him?

Whether you’re wrestling with...

What happens when God hits shuffle on His people? It’s not noise choas, but, a timeless message of love.

In When God Hits Shuffle, Bria Lacour shares how the “shuffle button” shows us the way God blends generations and backgrounds into one song that celebrates, unites, and creates something that lasts.

If you’re curious about faith, tired of feeling like your life is stuck on repeat, or longing for a deeper harmony across ages, cul...

Submission is a word that makes most of us uneasy. We often think of defeat, losing control, or giving up our voice. 

But in Colossians 3:17–4:1, Paul paints a different picture of submission not as weakness, but as divine realignment. It’s about syncing our hearts and lives to the One who gives them meaning.

In this message, The Power to Submit, we look at how Christ’s supremacy reshapes three areas of life we all experience:

Life can feel heavy, overwhelming, and out of control sometimes.

In this message, Pastor Alvin walks through Colossians 2 and shows how Jesus’ power can really change people, places, and situations for the better.

The world tells us we need achievement, approval, relationships, or stuff to feel complete, but none of that truly satisfies. There’s one power that actually makes a difference.

Watch this message to see how that power ca...

Ever feel like life is pulling you in a hundred different directions?

Like there’s always something or someone competing for your attention. 

Well, the truth is at some point, we all chase or have chased success, relationships, security, and happiness, but even when we get what we thought we wanted, it can still feel like something’s missing. Ever been there before?

In Holding It All Together, Bria walks us through Colossians 1 to ...

What do you do when giving—your time, money, or energy—feels more like losing than gaining?

In this message, When Giving Feels Like Losing, Pastor Alvin walks through a familiar tension many of us face: the fear that if we give too much, we won’t have enough left for ourselves.

Whether it’s generosity, obedience, or simply trusting God with what matters most, it’s easy to wonder if it’s really worth it. Out of Malachi 3, Pastor Alv...

Ever feel like your life story was supposed to look and read better than it does?

You’re working hard, trying to move forward, doing what you can to get it right, but still, something feels off. Like you’re missing something, or like the best parts of your life story already passed you by.

That’s exactly where God’s people found themselves in the book of Haggai. They had returned from exile and were trying to rebuild, but nothing f...

Ever felt like life just isn’t adding up?

You’ve been praying, trusting, or doing everything you know to do, but God still feels distant or silent. If that sounds familiar, you’re not the only one.

In this message, When God Doesn’t Make Sense, we look at the honest, unfiltered questions of a prophet named Habakkuk. He doesn’t pretend to have it all together. He wrestles with God and invites us to do the same.  And guess what else? ...

What do you do when God feels far, when His presence feels out of reach, and you’re just going through the motions?

In this message, When Presence Goes Missing, Pastor Alvin Brown walks through the book of Zechariah to remind us that God’s presence isn’t something we strive to earn.  It’s something we’re invited to return to.

If you’ve drifted, feel spiritually numb, or just know something’s missing, this message gets to the heart ...
