Mosaic - Erwin McManus

How does God mark time? Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus reveals that although humans mark time through seasons, years, or the clocks on our phones, God marks time through people. Through the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, Pastor Erwin shows how God shaped Joseph’s life through the people he met. The trajectory of Joseph’s life was marked by how he hurt or helped those around him. As evident in the story of Joseph, who went from being a slave to becoming a powerful ruler, God can use anyone to leave a lasting mark on history. Pastor Erwin challenges you to be someone God can trust, so He can mark history through you wherever you go. Are you ready to leave your mark on history? It begins with God putting His mark on you.

On this week's podcast, Erwin McManus completes his Quest for Enlightenment series with a talk that highlights what it means to live a heroic life. From Psalm 119:32, Erwin reminds us that God has set us free to run in the path of his commands. Ultimately, we learn that our freedom is only as impactful as the choices we make with it because the shape of our character is not only the shape of our future, but our character shapes the future of humanity. Ending with a raw and powerful Q & A, Erwin answers a variety of questions that define what it means to live heroically in the light of the freedom Jesus offers. From paying taxes to choosing a significant other, Erwin empowers us to live with a deep sense of character through our everyday choices. This message is inspired by Uprising, Erwin Raphael McManus' book about taking on the character of God.

Erwin McManus takes us on a journey through his Quest for Enlightenment in his powerful Uprising series. Targeted on the value of wisdom, Pastor Erwin shares that for most of us, the wisest person in our life is not the wealthiest or the smartest. What they bring is an ability to navigate life in a way that leads to wholeness - both emotionally and relationally. In Ecclesiastes chapter 9, a man named Solomon points out a man who was poor but saved a city with his wisdom. Pastor Erwin reminds us that we often ask for resources when God wants to give us vision. What vision has God entrusted you with that you need his wisdom to navigate? Even when your resources cause you to second guess what you can achieve, this message will encourage you to trust that God’s supply of wisdom is more than enough! This message is drawn from Uprising, Erwin Raphael McManus’ book about taking on the character of God.

This message begins the Quest for Enlightenment in the popular Uprising series. In this message, Erwin Raphael McManus shares that if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by life and can’t seem to find your way through, then you’ve known the need for enlightenment .The Quest for Enlightenment begins with the need for wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to connect the dots, to foresee the future. Imagine if you had the ability today to make the choices that would create the future you long for? Two people can go through the same trauma and have radically different experiences. One can emerge broken and fragile, while the other emerges stronger and more resilient. The key is perseverance founded in faithfulness, which is where wisdom begins. Erwin shares that the journey of faithfulness is one you cannot take alone - it requires a community. We all fail, we all fall, we all stumble; but you need someone with you on the journey to help pick you up!

This message finishes the Quest for Nobility in the popular Uprising series. In this message, Erwin Raphael McManus reminds us that great dreams demand great courage. You will not live a life commiserate to your dreams, talent, or ability - but equal to your level of courage. With nobility, you can be trusted with wealth, influence, and the lives of others. It begins in gratitude and finds completeness in generosity. Generous people are happier people who make the world better, while greedy people only focus on what they can take rather what they can give. Erwin reveals that despite what you can offer the world, becoming a generous person will end up being immeasurably more valuable for you as a human being than for anyone your generosity may affect. He leaves us with this question: what’s the sacrifice you need to make that will make the world more beautiful?

Let this message unwrap for you how Jesus longs to bring his light into your life! This message is drawn from Uprising, a book about taking on the character of God from Erwin Raphael McManus.
