Summary

Are you calling it quits before God says you're finished?

In this challenging new message, Pastor Erwin McManus helps us see that often when we experience regret and disappointment, it is simply because we quit and called it a failure instead of choosing to persevere when things got difficult.

Based on the story of Caleb in the book of Joshua, we learn that even in his advanced age Caleb was ready to take on new battles when others wanted comfort and ease. He had a unique perspective, always believing that the best was ahead of him.

Are there areas in your life where you need to stop saying you're finished? Tune into this message and be encouraged as you take on new battles. 

This message is inspired by The Last Arrow, a book that challenges us to leave nothing for the next life.

Hey guys, I want to walk you me to the Mosaic podcast. I'm Pastor Erwin and I fell

0:12.8

McManus and just wanted to thank you for listening. In case you didn't know, I just released

0:17.4

a new book, it's called The Genius of Jesus, The Man Who Changed Everything. And you can

0:21.6

order it today at TheGeniusOfJesus.com.

You know one of the putt pews that I have, one of the things that just kind of irritates

0:27.6

me a little bit, it's not a big thing, but you ever go get food with friends, you're

0:31.0

getting a great meal, and the meal is actually great, but you're talking a lot. And everyone

0:35.9

else is eating at a different speed than you. So they're done, but you're not done. But

0:41.6

it's not that you didn't want to eat, is that you were getting asked questions, so you

0:45.7

were doing a lot of the talking, and then the waiter comes up and tries to take your

0:49.6

food. You ever do that? In fact, if you've ever worked in the service industry as a waiter,

0:57.0

you're not trying to take my food away. It drives me crazy, people, they come up, and

1:01.7

they'll just reach for, they won't even ask me, there's reach for my plate. And I'll just

1:05.5

just look at them and go, I'm not finished yet. Have you ever had to tell someone that?

1:11.4

I'm not finished yet. They think you're done, but you're not done. I don't know why they

1:15.4

think you're done, because you're clearly not done. Just because everyone else is done

1:19.1

doesn't mean you're done. And in fact, even as a parent, there were times where Aaron and

1:25.2

Moriah were not living up to my expectations of them. And I felt that we needed to have

1:30.0

a meaningful, deep conversation about standards and procedures, respect, authority, expectations,

1:37.2

and especially Moriah. Well, look at me and say, are you finished? Oh, that lets me know

1:48.1

I'm not finished, because if you're asking me if I'm finished, I know I'm just getting
