Mosaic - Erwin McManus

-

After 14 transformative years on the corner of Hollywood & La Brea, we gather one last time in the space where thousands found faith, freedom, friendship, and purpose. In this powerful message, Pastor Erwin Rafael McManus reflects on Mosaic’s journey—its battles, beauty, and becoming. From empty rooms to packed Sundays, bomb threats to baptisms, we’ve seen what God can do through a community willing to risk everything for the sake of the future. But this is more than a farewell to a building. It’s a call to step into what’s next—not as observers, but as founders. Whether you're new to Mosaic or have been with us since day one, this message will move you to remember what matters most: the foundation is never the building—it’s the people who choose to live by faith. 🔹 “We learn from the past, but we don’t live there.” 🔹 “God doesn’t call us to safe and predictable—He calls us to courage and wonder.” 🔹 “The future belongs to those who build it.” If you’re ready to say yes to Jesus or become a founder of the next chapter—this is your moment.

This week, we step into a defining moment—not just for our community, but for each of us personally. As we prepare to transition locations from Hollywood, we’re reminded that the most significant moves in life are never about geography — they’re about courage.In this message, Pastor Erwin McManus unpacks the opening chapter of Joshua, where God’s words to a fearful young leader echo through time: Be strong and courageous. This isn't a pep talk. It's a command. A call to action. A summons for anyone ready to leave behind comfort and step into the unknown.Through powerful storytelling, real-life moments of failure and faith, and deep spiritual reflection, this talk is a challenge to stop waiting to be chosen and start choosing bravery. The sign over the next season reads Only the Brave. The only question left is: will you walk through the door?🎥 Locations Update:– June 9: Last Sunday of full programming in Hollywood– June 15: New gathering begins in North Hollywood, CA– June 22: Culver City (details coming soon)🕊️ Subscribe, share, and be part of this unfolding story.

In today’s message, we explore one of the most transformative truths of the spiritual journey: alignment. What does it mean to live a life aligned with God’s heart, purpose, and calling? From the intersections of Hollywood and South Pasadena to communities in Calabasas, Mexico City, Ecuador, New York, and London, this conversation is both deeply personal and globally relevant. Pastor Erwin McManus invites us into a raw and honest reflection on the power of intimacy with God, the necessity of radical generosity, and a higher view of humanity. Through stories of Mosaic’s improbable impact, vulnerable moments of confession, and practical insight into what alignment really looks like—this message becomes a blueprint for anyone who wants to stop merely believing and start fully living. This isn’t a talk about giving. It’s a conversation about love. About how we act when we’re really in love—with God, with people, with the future He’s placed inside of us. If you’ve ever felt stuck, misaligned, or like your life doesn’t yet reflect your deepest convictions, this is for you.

This message takes us deep into the story of Ruth and Naomi—a story born in the rubble of famine, grief, and despair, yet transformed by faith, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to love. Pastor Erwin Raphael McManus explores how even our most bitter chapters can become the prologue to something beautiful if we choose to turn the page. On a day as layered as Mother's Day—where joy and pain often collide—we’re reminded that our relationships with our mothers, our God, and our community shape more of our soul than we realize. Through personal stories, raw honesty, and powerful biblical insight, Pastor Erwin invites us to write a new story—not by erasing the past, but by choosing our next line with intention, courage, and faith. If you’ve ever wondered whether your story can begin again, or questioned if the pain you carry disqualifies you from hope, this message is for you. There’s an epic still waiting to unfold—if you’ll trust the Author and take the first step.
