Summary

After 14 transformative years on the corner of Hollywood & La Brea, we gather one last time in the space where thousands found faith, freedom, friendship, and purpose. In this powerful message, Pastor Erwin Rafael McManus reflects on Mosaic’s journey—its battles, beauty, and becoming. From empty rooms to packed Sundays, bomb threats to baptisms, we’ve seen what God can do through a community willing to risk everything for the sake of the future.

But this is more than a farewell to a building. It’s a call to step into what’s next—not as observers, but as founders.

Whether you're new to Mosaic or have been with us since day one, this message will move you to remember what matters most: the foundation is never the building—it’s the people who choose to live by faith.

🔹 “We learn from the past, but we don’t live there.”
🔹 “God doesn’t call us to safe and predictable—He calls us to courage and wonder.”
🔹 “The future belongs to those who build it.”

If you’re ready to say yes to Jesus or become a founder of the next chapter—this is your moment.
