Summary

Have you ever wondered what the role of the Church is in the world today? In this message from Mosaic Conference 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus examines the power of a community that is empowered by God’s intention. He helps us see that alone, our lives can be explained - but together, we tell a story that brings an unexplainable beauty to the world.

Out of Ephesians 3, Pastor Erwin unpacks the mission God had in mind all along. Together as the Church, we were meant to tell the extraordinary story of God to those around us. Just like fireflies are beautiful on their own but at times can go unnoticed, we are meant to be a community of light that not only shows the way to others but expresses an astonishing beauty along the way.

Pastor Erwin encourages us to read the Scriptures through the lens of ‘we’ instead of ‘me.’ God intended us to dream together instead of in isolation. Our dreams are meant to be connected to others and the wide-reaching story God is telling.

If you are ready to step into the beauty of community through the Church, tune into this incredible message!

0:00.0	Hey guys, I want to walk you me to the Mosaic podcast.
0:11.8	I'm Pastor Erwin, I'm Phil McManus, and just wanted to thank you for listening.
0:15.5	In case you didn't know, I just released a new book, it's called The Genius of Jesus,

0:31.8	you know that that is our ongoing theme.
0:35.0	We will always be talking about the future.
0:37.5	But one of the great privileges we feel we have over these days is to introduce our
0:43.8	broader tribe to a conversation that we have all the time.
0:50.4	And so in these few moments that you've entrusted me with, that you've allowed me to
0:55.6	have in your life, I want to talk to you about the future of the church.
1:01.8	Now there are some of you, you are not a part of the church, you don't go to church,
1:07.2	you may not even like church.
1:10.1	And if anything, this message is so much more for you, because whatever you've experienced
1:16.2	from the church or through the church or because of the church is the pass of the church.
1:22.1	It's not the future of the church.
1:24.5	And the wonderful thing is that whether you love the church or are suspicious of the
1:29.1	church or are wounded by the church, if you'll step into it, you have the opportunity
1:36.2	to create what the church should have always been.
1:40.9	And it's interesting me that right now there are almost two opposite conversations coming
1:46.4	to the same conclusion.
