Has life ever left you feeling like you are stuck in time and space? In his inspiring message from Mosaic Conference in 2019, Pastor Erwin McManus gives us a new understanding of what it means to live from our connection to eternity. He helps us see that we were never meant to live from the material of our old selves because God is constantly regenerating us into the new.

Based on Isaiah 55 and Ephesians chapter 1 & 2, Pastor Erwin points out that it wasn’t only Jesus that was raised from the dead and seated in eternity with God. In Ephesians 2, it states that we have been raised up with Jesus and seated in eternity as well. This means that though we live in time and space here on earth, we also exist from an eternal position.

Just as an artist is meticulous about the material used to create their masterpiece, God places material inside of us that is eternal. We are meant to create a beautiful masterpiece with our lives from our connection to the eternal life Jesus died to give us. We are eternal beings living in time and space.

If your life has felt mundane and you are looking for a way to come alive in your present moment, this message is for you.

Have you ever wondered what the role of the Church is in the world today? In this message from Mosaic Conference 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus examines the power of a community that is empowered by God’s intention. He helps us see that alone, our lives can be explained - but together, we tell a story that brings an unexplainable beauty to the world.

Out of Ephesians 3, Pastor Erwin unpacks the mission God had in mind all along. Together as the Church, we were meant to tell the extraordinary story of God to those around us. Just like fireflies are beautiful on their own but at times can go unnoticed, we are meant to be a community of light that not only shows the way to others but expresses an astonishing beauty along the way.

Pastor Erwin encourages us to read the Scriptures through the lens of ‘we’ instead of ‘me.’ God intended us to dream together instead of in isolation. Our dreams are meant to be connected to others and the wide-reaching story God is telling.

If you are ready to step into the beauty of community through the Church, tune into this incredible message!

Do you ever feel as if your future is already written? In this beautiful message from Mosaic Conference 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus reveals how all of us are co-authors of the future. The future is not a concrete reality, but history that is ready to be created.

Out of 1 Corinthians 2, Pastor Erwin explains that we can have access to the story God is telling because we have the Spirit of God inside of us. In our connection to God, we are able to create history the way God intended: a history filled with hope, joy and imagination.

God gives us access to the eternal story he is writing into history in the present moment. Though we can feel limited by our circumstances, we are not trapped in time and space. We have access to the mind of God, who is eternal. Our lives are meant to be a portal between the present moment and the beautiful story that God is telling through us.

If you need a new perspective that brings hope to your view of the future, this message is for you!

In a powerful, thought-provoking message from Mosaic Conference in 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus casts vision for the future of humanity. Based on Ezekiel 36, he highlights the promise God has for us as we take on the future: that our hearts of stone will be replaced with hearts of flesh.

Pastor Erwin highlights that though at times he would rather have the heart of Iron Man instead of a heart of flesh, God doesn’t want to restore us to be hurt, but to bring us back to our original intent as humans, created with the imagination of God.

Because God imagined us into the future, we were made to create the future we dream of as well. In his message, Pastor Erwin states that we create from our essence. This is why it is essential to create from a heart of flesh. When God gives us a new heart, we can create from our original intent-from a heart filled with compassion, empathy and intelligence.

Many of us wonder ‘Is prayer really THAT powerful?!’ In part three of Pastor Erwin McManus’ series ‘Why This Matters,’ he helps us grasp the power of connecting with God through prayer.

Growing up in El Salvador with a religious background, Pastor Erwin was mostly taught that the power of prayer was found in repetition. In this conversation, he helps us shift our perspective as he shares that the true power in prayer is found in listening to God.

Based on the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18, we learn that prayer connects us to what God wants to do in and through us. Elijah prayed for the rain to stop and it did at his command. Similarly, Pastor Erwin shares about a time when he prayed for the rain to stop for an event he had planned in college. The rain stopped specifically on his college campus and enabled his event to go as planned when many classmates expected it to be canceled.

Tune into this incredible message to learn how to connect to God through prayer.

Why is living a life of generosity so important? In part two of his new series, ‘Why This Matters,’  Pastor Erwin McManus emphasizes the impact generosity has on our souls, as well as on others around us.

From Proverbs 11, he teaches us that generosity helps posture our hearts. It helps us to be open to what God wants to pour into our lives and how to hold loose what is already ours, so what we own doesn’t own us.  Pastor Erwin shares a beautiful story of God providing an essential gift for him and his wife, Kim, exactly when they needed it. He reminds us that though the ‘prosperity gospel’ is misguided, God truly wants our lives to prosper. As we are generous, we are refreshed, healed, and restored.

Tune into this powerful message to learn how to make an incredible impact through generosity.

Have you ever wondered why the church matters? In the first message of his new series, ‘Why This Matters,’ Pastor Erwin McManus explains why the church is essential to humanity. Through Ephesians 3:10-20, he challenges us to rethink the way we view the role and meaning of the church.    Just like olympians challenge themselves to be the best in the world at their craft, Pastor Erwin challenges us to become the best version of ourselves. The church is the fingerprint of God and our lives are his creative canvas.

As the church moves together, the wisdom of God is revealed. As we fill in the spaces of each other’s weaknesses and contribute our own strengths, we become better together. Pastor Erwin encourages us that the best version of ourselves is found when we gather together.

Pastor Erwin McManus brings a timely message this weekend in response to the unexpected mask mandate from LA county that led to Mosaic’s first Live Gathering being postponed.

From the book of 1 Corinthians, Pastor Erwin shares with us what it means to live out the apostle Paul’s words to ‘become all things to all people.’ Followers of Jesus can experience total freedom, even as they adapt their lives to share the message of Christ with others. Through letting go of our ego and surrendering a political stance to take up the mantle of the gospel, Pastor Erwin encourages everyone who follows Jesus to keep their eyes on the fight that matters.

This message brings incredible insight into how we all can live in such a way that ‘winning’ is not wasted on meaningless battles, but instead is reserved for the most important battle we face – the war for the human heart.  This is a message you don’t want to miss!

Pastor Erwin McManus brings us a deeply moving message on the power of love. From the streets of Mexico City, he unpacks a passage in Philippians 3:7-9. Pastor Erwin asks us: Is there something in our lives that we love more than everything else? He states that this is how Paul, the author of Philippians, explains the love he’s found in God.

When we are young, we go from loving things to loving experiences, and then eventually – with maturity – we love relationships. Paralleling the idea that you cannot learn the streets of a city unless you walk them yourself, Pastor Erwin instructs us that we won’t get to know God and his love unless we know take time to know Him personally. 

In Philippians, Paul states two different ways he knows God: cognitively and intimately. Pastor Erwin explains that we will never know a love worth everything until we move from having the knowledge of God to having intimacy with God. This kind of love moves toward a life of sacrifice. The beauty of love is that it is willing to love without guarantee of return. Pastor Erwin emphasizes that this is the love God had called us to live in.

If you are searching for God’s love and the pathway to truly living, this message is for you!
