Are you ready to seize your divine moment? 

Often when we think of following Jesus and taking hold of our divine moment, we don't recognize the suffering we must face to embrace God's work in us.

Focusing on the life of Peter in Matthew 16, Pastor Erwin points out how Peter struggled with the reality that Jesus would have to suffer deeply to fulfill his calling.

The crucifixion is a central piece of our faith, reminding us that there is no life without death.

Peter became the first church leader, bringing powerful transformation to many lives -- but only after his pride was put to death.

Peter’s suffering became the passageway to his future.

It’s time to seize your divine moment!

In the 4th part of the Beautiful One series, Pastor Erwin McManus emphasizes the power of having a desperate faith.

Pulling from Matthew chapter 15, Jesus encounters a Cannanite woman who is rejected and seen as an outcast in that cultural time period. She comes to him begging that he would heal her daughter who is demon possessed -- but his disciples try to send her away.

Testing her, Jesus responds with the cultural narrative that was circling her situation, halling her a dog and saying "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."

But she remained steadfast in asking Jesus, not letting the all-too-familiar humiliation stop her from asking for her miracle. 

Jesus then responds to her humility saying "you have great faith" and heals her daughter.

If you are ready to push past the narratives that have kept you from Jesus and desperately seek his movement in your life, don't miss this life-changing episode!
