Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus shares a timely new message on what it  takes to develop the ‘Resilience’ you need to not just survive, but  enjoy your life!    Resilience is the singular characteristic that will define who will  thrive and who will not – do you have this crucial component? A lot of  us want to have big faith but don’t want to have big problems. Resilience is the key to living  life with the faith you need to create a  beautiful future!   Do you want to be able to bounce back from any setback?   Do you want to live with incredible gratitude?   Do you want to be faithful with what God has entrusted to you?   This message is for you!

Do you feel trapped by fear? Can you see the life you want to be living but can’t find a way to get there? Courage is necessary to live out our greatest desires and dreams, and it is developed in the context of integrity. Through the crucible of humility you develop integrity, which then leads us into a life of courage.This message shows us that not only is a life of courage possible, it’s available to you! It’s just up to you to take the first step. This message is drawn from Uprising, a book about taking on the character of God from Erwin Raphael McManus.

Did you know that courage is not the absence of fear, but the absence of self? Courage begins with integrity; without integrity we will not find within us the resolve or the resilience to face the pressures of life. To have integrity is to be whole and be complete - to have nothing within you that is not true to the character you possess. Everything in your life depends on integrity to function. For example, a plane you fly in across the country must have integrity in its composition to survive the flight - nothing in it that would compromise its ability to fly. In this same vein, humanity must have integrity to live lives that are not faultless, but false-less.This message shows us that to pursue a life of truth and oneness with Jesus requires the pursuit of integrity. If you want to live a life of integrity and face your life with courage, this message is for you! This message is drawn from Uprising, a book about taking on the character of God from Erwin Raphael McManus.

Integrity is the key to courage, and at the forefront of integrity is humility. This message unpacks the necessity of humility and its power to unlock your future. If you want to live a life of integrity and face your life with courage, this message is for you!

This incredible continuation of last week's message "The Power of Words" will have you examining the strength you have to change who you are with the words you speak. Are you operating at 10% of your God-given capacity? This message will encourage you to take back the keys to your life and find the empowerment you need to unlock your future!

Have you experienced the lasting impact that words can have on your life? In Lead Pastor Erwin McManus’ new message “The Power of Words,” he explores the unique power of language and how God harnesses it to create life. From the very beginning in Genesis chapter 1, God uses language to create light and life out of nothing. He creates, he blesses, and proceeds to call His creation, “Good.” Here, we learn that God always creates what is good, beautiful, and true. In contrast, the voice of darkness enters the script in Genesis chapter 3. The voice of doubt is introduced as a snake speaks to Eve and contradicts God’s voice. This voice always tears man, God, and creation apart from one another. Pastor Erwin reminds us that our soul is in the wrong conversation when we’re not in a conversation with the one who created us. Pastor Erwin encourages us that even if we feel as though we’ve lost touch with the frequency of God’s voice, we can always tune back into it when we decide to listen for it again. Our lives are either shaped by the words of darkness or the words of light and God is longing to illuminate our lives with light when we give his voice precedence. If you've lost touch with God's voice in your life, this message will help you reconnect with the only voice that can shape your life into something beautiful, good, and true.

In Lead Pastor Erwin McManus’ captivating Easter message “Eternal,” he brings us into the monumental moment when time and eternity collided as Jesus died on the cross. In Matthew chapter 27, a wide array of astonishing events come to pass at the moment of Jesus’ death. Not only did the veil in the Jewish temple tear in two, but bodies were raised from their graves and began to walk around the city. Moments before Jesus died, he cried out to God,  “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Pastor Erwin highlights that God wanted us to know that Jesus could relate to the darkest moments in our story because of what he endured on the cross. But what do we make of the supernatural occurrences after Jesus’ death? Pastor Erwin compares the moment of Jesus' death to a black hole colliding with a white hole; the totality of light consuming all darkness. The veil being torn represented the ripping apart of the separation between God and man. The walking dead show us that our eternal bodies are only graves waiting to be resurrected to life through Jesus. If you’ve wrestled with feeling empty or searching for an answer to your soul’s longing for life, this message will invite you to surrender your life to Jesus - the only one who can raise you out of the darkness.
