Summary

In this powerful message, Erwin McManus reflects on Mosaic's 14-year journey at the heart of Hollywood and the exhilarating call to step once again into the unknown. He recounts how, at just 24 years old, he discerned that Los Angeles was a city where the future emerges—a belief that has shaped Mosaic’s bold spirit ever since. Using Isaiah 43, Erwin challenges the notion that "there is nothing new under the sun," declaring instead that God is always creating the new—and calling us to become the creators of it.

As Mosaic faces the closing of its iconic Hollywood campus, Erwin reframes this ending not as a loss, but as an invitation: to leave the past behind, to embrace change, and to walk courageously into a future God is already crafting. This talk is a rallying cry for anyone who feels trapped by the old, reminding us that faith is not a call to preservation, but a call to pioneering, risk, reinvention, and new creation.

The future doesn’t wait. It belongs to those who dare to create it.

And if you're one of those individuals who God has blessed in 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 givers, our families, who do not live here in Los Angeles, but they are so committed to the message of Jesus going to 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
