Pastor Erwin McManus continues our powerful 33 AD series with a new message from the Gospel of John.   We often want God to fix our problems before we step into our future, but Pastor Erwin shows us how God desires to heal us as we go.     When Jesus encountered a blind man who wanted his sight restored, he spit in the dirt, created mud, and put it on the blind man's eyes.    Jesus then commanded him to ‘go wash in the Pool of Siloam, ‘ and the man walked to his healing with the mud on his eyes. The instant he washed in the pool he miraculously gained sight.    In every step of his healing, Jesus created meaning where others may have only seen a mess.    Are you looking for meaning in your mess? Are you ready to receive the healing Jesus offers?   Listen to this incredible message to kick off your week!

Have you ever been caught in your worst moment?  This week Pastor Erwin McManus continues our series in the book of John with a fresh understanding of what God sees when we are at our lowest moment.  We enter into the story of an adulterous woman who was dragged naked into the public, surrounded and accused by the religious elite of the day. These Pharisees told Jesus that according to the law, the woman should be stoned for her actions. But Jesus changed the conversation entirely. He turned to the Pharisees and said, "Let the one who has never sinned cast the first stone." Then, Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground, effectively drawing a line in the sand. One by one, the Pharisees dropped their stones and walked away. With this one action, Jesus silenced the voice of condemnation in the woman’s life.  We are not defined by our lowest moments because God is always speaking hope over us. Even at your worst, God sees you at your best.  Tune into this incredible message to learn how God draws a line in the sand to show you that he sees a future filled with hope for you! 

What are you saving for the next life? In this powerful message based on Philippians 3, Pastor Erwin compels us to live a life without regret.  He examines the life of Paul, sharing that he had every reason to hold onto his reputation, possessions, and personal aspirations.  Paul was a man of great power when he decided to follow Jesus. But he came to the conclusion that there was nothing worth giving his life to when he compared his other pursuits to a life of following Jesus. Pastor Erwin challenges us to consider that we do not live in regret because of one bad choice, but because of many small incremental choices that lead us away from the life Jesus called us to. The pursuit of lesser things will always leave us empty when Jesus is not our primary pursuit.  Tune into this powerful message and be reminded that the pursuit of Jesus beckons you to save nothing for the next life!

Do you know Jesus wants to meet you right where you are? Pastor Erwin McManus shares from the Gospel of John, where Jesus encounters a man who has been paralyzed for 38 years. The man was waiting to be carried into the pool of Bethesda after the waters were stirred to receive the miracle of healing he desperately wanted.  Jesus sees his desperation and first asks the man a simple question: “Do you want to get well?” The paralyzed man replies by explaining that he needs to get in the water first to be healed.  The paralytic man was standing in front of the God who had the ability to heal him in a moment. But he was convinced that the pool had the power to work a miracle for him instead. The paralytic man thought he had to get ‘there’ when Jesus wanted to meet him ‘here.’ This message is a powerful reminder that God came to meet us right where we are, without religious structures or hurdles to get to Him. What have you convinced yourself that you need to do before you can come to Jesus and be transformed? Tune into this message and experience the power of a God who broke down every barrier to get to you.

Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a compelling new message on God's love for the outsider. In the Gospel of John, Jesus interacted with a Samaritan woman at a well and asked her for a drink of water. This was a noteworthy conversation because Samaritans and Jews did not associate with one another at this time in history. This story is a poignant illustration of how Jesus is willing to subvert the cultural norm to reach the outsider. The woman went to the well at noon by herself, during the hottest time of day, because she was culturally ostracized. That recurring walk to the well was a reminder to her that she was unseen, unloved, and rejected.  Through her talk with Jesus, she is reminded that God not only sees her but will go out of his way to connect and be seen with her. If you've been burned by religion and have struggled to see yourself as an ‘insider,’ let this message encourage you that God is always fighting for the outsider to know his love.

Pastor Erwin McManus shares a moving message on the importance of questioning everything as we relate to the person of Jesus.   In the gospel of John, a religious Pharisee named Nicodemus interacts with Jesus. Nicodemus met with Jesus at night to protect his reputation as a religious expert. Though he had been studying the Torah for years, Nicodemus didn’t have a personal relationship with God.   Through their conversation, Jesus desired to change Nicodemus' direction, dimension, and intention - and Jesus wants these areas to change in our lives as well!   Jesus wants to move our direction toward the kingdom of God.  Jesus wants to move us from focusing on what is visible to us now and learn to see into the dimension of the unseen.  Jesus wants our intention to be focused on God’s will for our lives so we can discover the fullness of life God offers us!   When you encounter Jesus, you begin to question everything about the way you live. Are you ready to change your direction, dimension, and intention?   This message is for you!

Have you moved past the point of no return? In this compelling message, Pastor Erwin McManus teaches from Joshua chapter 1 and unpacks the journey of Joshua after the death of Moses.  God speaks to Joshua and commands him to get moving and promises him that he will give Joshua every piece of land that his feet touch. In this critical moment, Joshua had to step into leadership and move past the point of no return -- past the victories of Moses and into his own land of promise. Often, we believe that people's success is based only on their gifts or talents. But in this message, we are encouraged by Joshua's story that our impact is based on our courage to walk into the territory God has promised us.  Tune into this message and be compelled to take steps toward the promises of God in your life.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  John 1:1 NIV  Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus leads us into the powerful origin story of Jesus through the book of John.  The beginning of Jesus’ story starts long before his birth in a manger as a human baby sent into the world. John makes clear that Jesus is God and he was here before anything else in the universe began.  Have you considered that your life without Jesus is a sentence with a missing word? Pastor Erwin sets a challenge for the new year for all followers of Jesus to be dissatisfied living only with his principles, and to find ultimate satisfaction in his person.  The principles of Jesus will change your life but only the person of Jesus will change you. Attempting to live out his principles without his person will weigh too heavy; only with a dynamic, intimate relationship with Jesus can your life truly be transformed by him.  From the beginning of time, Jesus created everything to be leveraged in your favor. His presence is evident in creation through the beauty we see, the food that nourishes us, and in the spirit of God.  Jesus wants to be recognized as the first and final word in your story.  Tune into this powerful message as you set your intention to be shaped by the person of Jesus in 2023!

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!
