Mosaic - Erwin McManus

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, 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!

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.

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.

Did you know that generosity changes you from the inside out?

Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus shares how generosity creates good in the world AND in you!This is the power of generosity at work:

+ Generosity changes your perspective

We give as an act of obedience and sacrifice, but being generous isn’t something you do – it’s something you are.

Pastor Erwin reveals how Jesus transformed his thinking about giving and unlocked generosity in every area of his life. 

Are you ready to be generous with your love, your time, forgiveness, or hope?Understanding and harnessing the power of generosity starts here!

Is your soul filled with:  

Fear? 

Doubt? 

Insignificance? 

Feeling unworthy of love?  

We can label these symptoms as sociological, economical or cultural – but Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin reveals they are actually indicators that our soul is out of alignment with God.  

Many of the stories in the Bible are about people who are out of alignment; their struggles and successes provide a blueprint for us to learn from their mistakes.  

From Acts 7:29, Pastor Erwin unwraps the story of Moses to illustrate what a life out of alignment looks like – and how we can mirror Moses’ journey to realign ourselves with God.  

We must let our brokenness be seen with transparency, take on God’s character as we move in his intention, and learn to see the pain of those around us. Above all, we must recognize that we will be out of alignment until we step into our God-given assignment.  

If you’re ready to move into your purpose and walk it out in step with Jesus, this message is for you!

Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus brings a new message on ‘The Power of Being Fully Present,’ recorded live at Mosaic South Pasadena.

Do you find yourself caught reminiscing on the past or daydreaming about the future while the moment you are in passes you by?

Pastor Erwin challenges us to master the power of being fully present.

Drawing from Isaiah 43, Pastor Erwin uses the example of the Israelites to show what happens when God wants to move with strength in the present while His people are stuck in the past or anxious about the future.

God is always ushering in the new. Pastor Erwin reminds us to not grow discouraged when we don’t see His movement in our lives; often we are just looking for Him in the wrong place.

To harness the power of being fully present, you must put your past in the past, fight the fight you are in, and trust God to see what you cannot see.

Your past, whether beautiful or painful, cannot thrive in the future. Your future cannot be experienced today, so why waste your life in fear, anxiety, or dissatisfaction with your present?

If you need to discover how to be where you are and bring all of yourself to your present moment, this message is for you!‘

The Power of Being Fully Present’ is available now!
