Summary

Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus delivered the first incredible message in Mosaic’s new series ‘Fresh Start’

Drawing from Isaiah 43:15, Pastor Erwin gives you three specific ways that you can step into a new part of your life: Put your past in the past, fight the fight you’re in, and see what you do not see.

Although you are meant to learn from the past, you are not created to live in the past. The biggest things that hold you in the past are bitterness and regret. Bitterness requires that you forgive someone else, while regret requires that you forgive yourself. To step into a fresh start, you must find the courage to forgive those who have hurt you and find the courage to forgive yourself when you hurt others.

When you wait on God, it can oftentimes look a lot like doing nothing. Most likely God is waiting on you. Fight the fight you’re in as you keep your eyes alert to what God is doing around you. God is already creating the future, you just need fresh eyes to see the new thing he’s building!

Pastor Erwin presents this challenge: Your fresh start is not going to come to you. It needs to come through you.

If you’re ready to embark on a fresh start for your life, this message is for you!

0:00.0	Hey guys, I want to welcome you to the Mosaic podcast. I'm Pastor Erwin and I
0:12.6	feel like I just wanted to thank you for listening. In case you didn't know, I
0:16.6	just released a new book. It's called The Genius of Jesus, the man who changed
0:20.4	everything. And you can order it today at the GeniusOfJesus.com. Welcome
0:24.8	to the 12th. So I'm just kind of curious how many relate for the 12 o'clock? No
0:31.3	one, right? You're so honest. Wow, you're just way too honest for your own good.
0:36.1	I'm glad you're here and I know 12 o'clock is not too early. So just sort of
0:41.5	vamp up your Sundays. It's kind of awesome to be able to get up, go get
0:46.2	practice, go see a movie and then come, if you hear on time and be together. It's
0:53.2	just an important part, but we do each week to set our heart to the line.
0:58.6	And we're beginning a new series today called Fresh Start. Come on. Oh, so
1:04.2	good. I didn't know if I was going to make it. I was in Columbus, Ohio, which is
1:07.8	somewhere in middle earth. And I text Pastor Joe last night and I said, it
1:13.6	may be you. You may be giving everyone a fresh start. So be ready. I flew out to
1:19.1	Columbus Friday night to be an event of a friend of mine named Louis
1:23.4	House. And he has an event called The Summit of Greatness. And so I spoke
1:26.5	yesterday morning. And I don't know if I've ever been to Columbus. I don't have
1:29.8	a memory of it. And in the little time in between after speaking and meeting a
1:36.7	few people and having like a book signing, a couple of my friends Zach and Sasha
1:41.4	came to see me. And they're huge, by the way. They're just massive. So
1:46.7	everybody thought they were my security guards and are my bouncers, whichever
1:50.2	it might be. And they said, do you want to get lunch together? I said, I'd love
