In a brand new message, Lead Pastor Erwin McManus empowers us to make the hard choices necessary for us to step into the life we were designed to live. Speaking from the book of Luke, he points out that Jesus was always calling people to a life that was difficult — a life that required the highest level of character. Pastor Erwin shares that often when we embrace a life of faith, we expect Jesus to make our lives easier, not more difficult. But as we decide to do hard things, we expand. We are a...

We go back into the archives to hear a message from 2014 that breaks down the idea that humanity often sees God through the lens of human experience. That despite our perceptions, we are created in the image and likeness of God, and our souls inherently recognize this truth. Even when individuals don't believe in God, God believes in them.

Pastor Erwin McManus brought a riveting new message on the importance of living a life deeply connected to God. Pulling from a fascinating story about Elijah and Ahab in the Scriptures, Pastor Erwin points out that there are 4 different levels of awareness that we can decide to live in. Unconscious: unaware of God's movement around us. Experiential: only believe in what can be seen, heard, and touched. Spiritual: aware that a spiritual realm exists. Transcendent: in step with the future God is c...

Pastor Erwin Raphael McManus brought a life-changing message on the importance of cultivating mental toughness. He shared that as people of faith, we often assume God will give us an easier life when we give our lives to him. In contrast, Pastor Erwin shared that God doesn't want to make our lives easier — he wants to make us tougher. In Romans 8, we're reminded that we have everything we need to face the challenges that come our way because life is hard but we are tougher than we think. Are you...

For some of us, having faith in God comes more naturally. For others, it isn’t that simple. In this message from August of 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus walks us through his journey of finding faith. He explains that to him, the journey to Jesus was just that: a journey! Growing up he experienced a wide array of religions and was exposed to many world views. He did not imagine being a pastor when he grew up. As we navigate our way through life, we are informed about different religions and ways to ...

Pastor Erwin shows us the power in understanding that our souls do not need what God can do for us, but God Himself with us.

This week dig into the archives from a message from 2014. A Tribute to Robin Williams by Erwin Raphael McManus: "I had the beautiful privilege of running into Robin Williams years ago. He was gracious and kind and warm and deeply human. He was also the funniest person I have ever encountered in my life. He was funnier in a spontaneous 10 minutes on the way to the men's room than most are on stage delivering their best material. What struck me most was how generous he was with his time and how he...

Joshua 3:1-17 "Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. After three days the officers went throughout the camp, giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of abo...

What are we so afraid of? In this reflective conversation, Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus helps us unpack how fear impacts our lives and can paralyze us from stepping into the future we long for. He encourages us to look at fear differently. What if our fear is not situational but simply a reality we have allowed to rule us from the inside-out? What if the things we are most afraid of are simply the objects we project our innermost fears onto? What if living courageously was a choice? In Joshu...

"You cannot live the life you dreamed of of you don’t live a life of risk" - Erwin McManus Pastor and author Erwin McManus continues our journey with "Chasing Daylight". To seize divine moments, we must become free to risk. God does not call us to a safe faith and Pastor McManus reminds us that faith does not remove danger; faith makes us dangerous.

"Everything you do is an act of influence." - Erwin McManus Pastor and author Erwin McManus continues our journey with "Chasing Daylight". We underestimate the importance of influence when we choose to prioritize gaining success, financial gain, or command. The power of our influence cannot hindered by a lack of resources or authority. Authority shapes what a person does, but not their character; authority does not equal influence and it does not have the same result. The more energy and time yo...

Pastor Erwin McManus kicks off Generosity Month at Mosaic with a new message on how you can use your God-given ability to create wealth. When we ask God to do more for us, he often responds by asking us to do more for others. In Deuteronomy, God lays out a framework to help us understand our capacity to generate wealth and the responsibility our wealth has to impact as many lives as possible. When we position ourselves with a heart of generosity, there’s no limit to how God can move in our lives...

In the conclusion to the Mind Shift series, Pastor Erwin McManus challenges us to live a life of risk-taking, audacious faith and go where no one we know has gone before. Pastor Erwin shares that most often, people simply won’t understand our calling until we live it out. Sometimes we won’t even understand our calling until we step out in faith in response to God’s voice. Pastor Erwin reminds us that no one living in Jesus’ time understood why he chose to live and die as he did. It’s not until t...

In week four of the Mind Shift series, Pastor Erwin McManus reveals that what we find in the world around us is a direct reflection of who we are. Pastor Erwin uses the story of Cain from Genesis as an example of this principle. After Cain kills his brother out of jealousy, he lives in constant fear of being killed himself. Because he had been willing to commit murder, he saw murder in the heart of everyone around him. Not only do you see in others what you hide in yourself, you attract from the...

In week three of the Mind Shift series, Pastor Erwin McManus unpacked the importance of breaking through the internal ceilings that hold us back. In the book of Matthew, Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” However, we often believe we are walking in faith when we act passively, waiting for God to move on our behalf. Pastor Erwin challenged us to engage our faith by asking for big things and taking action to achieve the ...

Pastor Erwin McManus kicked off his new series Mind Shift with an incredible message on the power of our thinking to transform our lives. As referenced in Proverbs 23, the way we think defines who we are and who we will become. When we enter into a relationship with Jesus, our spirit is transformed. But we must do the necessary work to transform our lives by thinking differently. The same way negative thinking sets us up for failure, aligning our thinking with Jesus' intention for us sets us up ...
