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.

Voice Activated

Happy new year. 2025 is already the best year of our lives. Let all the belief in this room seep into your soul. God is ready to do something extraordinary in your life. Let's pray together. Jesus says anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate is a thief and a robber. Sheep can hear their shepherd's voice and they follow. This is the singular defining characteristic of someone who belongs to God. Can you develop the ability to hear God's voice? If you're going to learn how to hear God's voice, you need to realize your inner world is voice activated. Have you ever found yourself just talking and talking to yourself? And the people whose lives are healthier are the ones who make sure that the voices that are activated in their soul are ones that make them the best version of themselves. Jesus says there is a thief that wants to steal your life. He activates his voice inside of your soul. The voices that are fighting for you are actually two voices. One voice is calling you to life, and one voice is called you to death. 2025 is the year that you pay attention to the voice, voice of God. When you hear God speaking, you act. Here's small ways. When an action to do good is activated in your heart, just do it. As human beings, our inner worlds are activated by the words we speak externally and internally. In this moment, what you need more than anything else in life is life. If you'll wake up every morning and make this declaration, I am alive, you will speak life into the inner world of your soul.

Simple Glory

What if the beauty of Christmas isn’t found in extravagance but in simplicity? This message invites you to reflect on the story of Jesus’ birth, not as a distant tale, but as a powerful reminder of God’s love meeting us in our brokenness. From childhood memories filled with Santa and magical moments to hearing the Gospel for the first time, we explore how God’s plan unfolds in unexpected ways to bring hope and restoration. Through the lens of shepherds, angels, and a baby born in a manger, we see how God’s glory is revealed in humility. This message challenges us to move beyond religion and rituals and embrace a personal relationship with Jesus. It’s a reminder that God does not seek perfection but chooses to dwell in simple, ordinary places—just as He chose a manger to reveal His glory. If this message spoke to you, consider what it means to invite Jesus into your life. Whether you are searching for peace, purpose, or a fresh start, God’s love is available to you. Take a moment to pray, “Jesus, I give you my life,” and experience the hope that Christmas offers. Share this message with someone who needs encouragement this season, and may your Christmas be filled with the peace and love only He can give.

The Relational Idealist Erwin | From The Archives

When you become a relational idealist, when you begin to believe in others, you're not free from wounds. Jesus was betrayed by a kiss, so don't be surprised when you are. And I can make the world better when I believe in people. Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. When God believes in you, you start becoming what he sees in you. You have to actually learn how to celebrate with others. It's really, really easy to like people when they're doing poorly. Last year when our company collapsed, I had so many people who liked me. It's so much easier to be a friend when that friend has a world that's falling apart. But when the world thins out, the world has to celebrate your success. This is what the economy of God is like. We like people when they are in the same condition as usual or worse. But we don't like it when people seem to get what they got by working less or got more than we got by not earning it. Why is it easier to celebrate your success when someone else has failed?

Jesus & The 7 Frequencies

Pastor Erwin McManus shared a dynamic new message based on the scriptures and his brand-new book The Seven Frequencies of Communication.   After being asked what God’s frequency of communication is, Pastor Erwin shared that Jesus himself is God’s frequency of communication.   Through examples in the scriptures, we see that though Jesus is fluent in all seven frequencies, he tailors his voice to the needs of each individual.   To the broken, Jesus speaks as a healer. To those who need a teacher, Jesus speaks as a professor. To the stagnant, Jesus speaks as a challenger. To the doubtful, Jesus speaks as a motivator. To those who need vision, Jesus speaks as a seer. To the directionless, Jesus speaks as a commander. To those who need a new view of reality, Jesus speaks as a maven.   Jesus is always speaking to us in the frequency we need to hear in the moment instead of simply what we want to hear.   Are you ready to tune into the frequency of Jesus?   Listen to this powerful message today and order Pastor Erwin’s brand-new book The Seven Frequencies of Communication.
