In this Series titled "Mosaic - Broken Relationships," you can dive into the truths about the grace and love of God. We live in a broken world where the effects of sin are deep and wide. This brokenness can be most evident in our relationships. But, Jesus came to put these pieces back together. He reconciles us to one another through the giving of Himself. These broken pieces can become a beautiful mosaic.
