Mosaic - Erwin McManus

Are you calling it quits before God says you're finished? In this challenging new message, Pastor Erwin McManus helps us see that often when we experience regret and disappointment, it is simply because we quit and called it a failure instead of choosing to persevere when things got difficult. Based on the story of Caleb in the book of Joshua, we learn that even in his advanced age Caleb was ready to take on new battles when others wanted comfort and ease. He had a unique perspective, always believing that the best was ahead of him. Are there areas in your life where you need to stop saying you're finished? Tune into this message and be encouraged as you take on new battles.  This message is inspired by The Last Arrow, a book that challenges us to leave nothing for the next life. 

Have you ever felt like God is hiding from you? In this special Christmas message, Pastor Erwin McManus brings a fresh lens to a familiar Christmas story. Drawing from Matthew 2, Pastor Erwin unpacks the unique narrative of the Magi being the ones to meet Jesus.  Even though the Jews were the people who long held the story of God, it was ultimately the Magi who encountered Jesus upon his birth. Pastor Erwin illustrates how this story reveals the character of God. God always sends signs to people who are desperate to find him. No matter your background, your past, how far away you are - God will show up when you seek him out. If you never need God, you won’t see the signs. But if you know that you need God, you’ll be amazed at how much God reveals himself in your life. If you’ve been seeking God out, this message is your sign that he is speaking to you!

Have you ever asked God for a sign?   Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus calls us to notice the signs of God all around us.   The book of Isaiah shares how God sent Jesus as a sign to humanity through a virgin birth. It was a miraculous point in history that still ripples through our lives over 2,000 years later.   Pastor Erwin highlights that often when we ask God for a sign, we are looking for confirmation to do what we consider comfortable and convenient. But when God speaks to us, he always challenges us to pursue extraordinary lives that cannot be explained without God’s involvement.   Jesus’ life is a reminder that God already sent the biggest sign of His love for us. Now, we have the opportunity to be a sign of love to the world around us.   If you’ve been looking for signs of God’s activity in your life, this message will give you eyes to see them clearly!

We are going back into the archives and resurfacing with Pastor Erwin's series on The Last Arrow. Are you limiting the opportunities to live the life that God created you to live if you're not moving forward with expectation and hope?  Are you focusing on how to live a life without regret? It's important to shift our perspective on this. You need to raise your expectations because you're going to get what you expect.  You may not always get everything you expect, everything you want but it is the ceiling of your future.

In this new message, Pastor Erwin McManus reveals the audacity of God and challenges believers to move from doubt to audacious faith. The podcast explores the concept of encountering God and the transformative impact it has on one's life. It also discusses the power of breath, the design of humanity, and the importance of using our powerful voices. Additionally, the podcast explores the concept of audacious faith and being an echo of eternity, emphasizing the importance of declaring truths about oneself and opening our lives to Jesus.

What fuels the economy of God?   Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus reveals the power of work, responsibility and trust in this impactful message.   Through the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, Pastor Erwin unwraps biblical truths that can change how we create and shape our lives.   Many followers of Jesus believe they want to know God‘s will for their lives so they can be faithful.   In reality, we can often spend our lives seeking out God’s will so we don’t have to be responsible for taking ownership of the talent, skill and intellect God has given us.   Pastor Erwin shares that when we are immature in our faith, our conversation with God centers around if God can be trusted.  When we mature in our faith, we realize the conversation has always been about if we can be trusted.   If you’re ready to live a life that reflects the character of Jesus, this message is for you!

As we wrap up this series on the Artisan Soul, Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a passionate message on Masterpiece God gave us called life.  Throughout Jesus' life, he told parables, metaphors and images to show his disciples that he was going to die. But they could only interpret death in the terms they knew, which were finite.  Jesus reminds us that our life is supposed to be a work of art and his canvas is the human spirit.   Jesus life was a walking art installation of Life. When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he said to him I am the life. There’s nothing to fear in death. There’s nothing to fear in life. The only proof of life after death, is life before death and what we really long for is life before death.  This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

The church is a movement, not an institution. In this electric message for Mosaic’s Foundation Sunday, Lead Pastor Erwin McManus unpacks how movements are marked by generosity. Former slaves in the book of Exodus were instructed to stop bringing gifts to build a new sanctuary because the workers were overwhelmed with the amount of offerings. They had internalized a priceless insight: we should bring gifts to God in proportion to the way he has blessed us. Their freedom compelled them to give. Are we, people whose lives have been changed by the freedom of Jesus, just as compelled to give? Pastor Erwin challenges us that God harnesses the power of the willing to bring the mission of Jesus to the world.

Have you ever considered that your life is the canvas on which God wants to create? In this week's episode, Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a passionate message on our God-given ability to become God's work of art. When we allow him to paint our souls with the colors of faith, hope, love, and courage -- the possibilities are endless. As creatives, we often become discouraged by the limitations of our contracts, resources, and abilities. But if God himself is hopeful about the possibilities of human life -- His chosen canvas -- how much more must we take advantage of the canvas we've each been entrusted with. Whether we are nurses, teachers, or writers, we have the opportunity to bring an abundance of life through our personal brushstrokes on life's canvas. This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.
