Summary

We as humans don't have a perception of time, we have a perception of change. If change is not a given, we often feel as though we’ve wasted our time. Jeremiah chapter 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Pastor Erwin McManus reminds us that there is a difference between stepping into tomorrow and stepping into our future. God reminds us that with His love we not only receive hope but also a future. The future is where hope exists and everything in our present is committed to our future. We need to stand in this moment knowing we have a future. God has a plan for our future, not just for tomorrow.

A futureless tomorrow is filled with fear and doubt. When filled with faith, hope, and love we can step into the future. If we’re filled with fear, we don't have the material to step into our future. In the moments we’re filled with fear, we must see the markers that call us into our future. There will be moments in the future where we need to remember how good God is.

“A connection to God is a connection to the future. – Erwin McManus “

The future is ours.

0:00.0	Hello this is Erwin Raphael McManus. I'm the lead pastor of Mosaic. Welcome to our podcast. Thank you for joining us today.
0:15.5	I hope this talk inspires you, encourages you, and transforms you, and that this is just
0:20.8	the beginning of a conversation between you and Jesus.
0:24.0	Enjoy the message.
0:29.0	I want to welcome everyone in the Mosaic and in case you don't remember,
0:32.0	I'm Erwin McBannes and I'm your pastor, and it's so good to be back together.
0:37.0	And I say that metaphorically because we're not yet back together, but it is so good to know that we can stay connected even
0:45.2	though we're not able to gather. But I cannot wait for the day. I'm going to keep saying this.
0:49.9	I cannot wait for the day where we can all come together and celebrate and sing and worship and hug and laugh and enjoy life together.
0:58.8	So wherever you are right now, welcome the mosaic and let's take some time and not only refocus our hearts
1:07.6	and minds around who God is and what he wants to do in our lives but also maybe let's
1:12.4	take this time and recognize how profoundly we need each other,
1:16.4	how much we need human connection, human contact.
1:20.6	Sometimes we take for granted the very things that come easy to us.
1:23.6	And I think what has happened to us during this time of pandemic,
1:27.7	during this time of quarantine, during this time of isolation,
1:31.5	and sheltering at home as it's been coined is that we've realized how much we need each other
1:37.0	how much we need people how much we we need other human beings in our lives and and even if you're an extreme social introvert and you
1:44.9	would just come to mosaic and enjoy the community and never really talk a whole
1:49.8	lot to people and and not really cross the line of engagement.
1:54.1	It was just good to be around human beings
