Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and this is the Mosaic Podcast. I want to thank you so much for joining

us today and if you're one of our regular listeners, we love the fact that you join

you with us and we pray that every single message inspires you and helps you become the

person that God created you to be. Every single week we send a new message across the

world and everything we do here at Mosaic is made available to everyone in the world

for absolutely free. The reason we can do that is that we have incredible people who

give generously and sacrificially to make this possible and I want to invite you to join

us. If you're already a giver, thank you so much. If this is something you've not yet

done, I want to invite you to start doing that now. Go to mosaic.org slash give and give

a one-time gift or even beyond that. Become a recurring giver here at Mosaic and if you're

one of those individuals who God has blessed an amazing way financially, I want to invite

you to become one of our partners here at Mosaic. What's really beautiful about Mosaic

is that our biggest gifters, our families who do not live here in Los Angeles, but they

are so committed to the message of Jesus going through the world that they support the work

here from Los Angeles to the ends of the earth. And so I want to invite you again, go to mosaic.org slash give,

become a part of our support system, become one of our partners and more than anything else,

I want you to listen to the message, allow Jesus to speak to you in a way that will change your life.

So last week we began together a new series called The Beautiful One and a part of our hope

as we journey through these different encounters that Jesus has with specific individuals.

Is that you might see God in a fresh and new way. Sometimes our view of God has been tainted by

our experiences with other people. Sometimes it's simply ruined by the things we've heard about God.

So many people see God only as a God of wrath and judgment and condemnation.
