Mind The Gap Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

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.

The Outsiders Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

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.

Question Everything Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

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!

The Point of No Return - The Last Arrow | From The Archives Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

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.

The First and Final Word Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

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!

I'm Not Finished Yet - The Last Arrow | From The Archives Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

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.

Hide and Seek Dec 25, 2022

Show notes

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!

Signs Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

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!

What Did You Expect - The Last Arrow | From The Archives Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

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.

The Audacity of God Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

In this new message, Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus reveals the audacity of God to do the impossible in our lives.

Through the life of Zechariah and Elizabeth in the book of Luke, Pastor Erwin unwraps what it looks like when God begins to go to work in us.

Zechariah and Elizabeth were childless and advanced in age, but an angel appeared to Zechariah and told him that Elizabeth would give birth to a son. When Zechariah expressed his doubt in God’s ability to do this miracle, God took away his ability to speak until his son had been born and he could doubt no longer.

Have you ever doubted that God could do the impossible?

Pastor Erwin challenges us to evaluate how often we believe God can move in the lives of those around us, but exclude ourselves from receiving the miracle we desperately need.

Be encouraged that God knows the date and time of your future miracle coming to pass – you just have to be willing to step out in faith and receive it.

Get ready to move from doubt to an audacious faith!
