Summary

In reflection of building Mosaic for the past 30 years, Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus dives into the core mission we have as a community of faith as we look forward to the next 30 years -- to continually step into the unknown as we discover the new that God has for us. Pastor Erwin builds his message on a scripture in Isaiah 43 where God compels the Isrealites to stop dwelling on what happened in the past and instead look forward to perceive the new thing that God was up to. He reminds us that often we think we want the new but in reality, embracing the new means everything we know will be shaken up. When Pastor Erwin and Kim moved to Los Angeles 30 years ago to build Mosaic, they left all uncertainty to follow a vision they had for a new kind of church in LA -- one that was built for those who have yet to know Jesus for themselves. Often we look to God to give us all of the steps when we ask for the new. But Pastor Erwin reminds us that God brings us into the new by asking us to embrace the unknown. He gives us the 'why' but not always the 'how.' As God transforms us from the inside out, we become new and bring that to the world around us. Are you ready to embrace the new thing God wants to do in your life? Don't miss this powerful new message in celebration of Mosaic's 30th anniversary!

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and this is the Mosaic Podcast. I want to thank you so much for joining
0:12.0	us today and if you're one of our regular listeners, we love the fact that you join
0:16.3	you with us and we pray that every single message inspires you and helps you become the
0:21.2	person that God created you to be. Every single week we send a new message across the
0:25.6	world and everything we do here at Mosaic is made available to everyone in the world
0:29.9	for absolutely free. The reason we can do that is that we have incredible people who
0:34.6	give generously and sacrificially to make this possible and I want to invite you to join
0:38.5	us. If you're already a giver, thank you so much. If this is something you've not yet
0:43.3	done, I want to invite you to start doing that now. Go to mosaic.org slash give and give
0:48.6	a one-time gift or even beyond that. Become a recurring giver here at Mosaic and if you're
0:53.0	one of those individuals who God has blessed an amazing way financially, I want to invite
0:57.3	you to become one of our partners here at Mosaic. What's really beautiful about Mosaic
1:01.8	is that our biggest givers, our families, we do not live here in Los Angeles but they
1:06.3	are so committed to the message of Jesus going through the world that they support the
1:09.6	work here from Los Angeles to the ends of the earth. So I want to invite you again, go to
1:13.9	mosaic.org slash give, become a part of our support system, become one of our partners
1:18.6	and more than anything else, I want you to listen to the message, allow Jesus to speak
1:22.4	to you in a way that will change your life.
1:37.8	So even though we're celebrating a beginning in 1993 that was before many of you were born
1:44.3	and we're celebrating the 30 years that brought us to this moment in 2023, today our focus
1:50.7	is going to be on 2053. Because we're not closing a chapter, we're opening a chapter.
2:00.0	But I want to take a moment and celebrate where we've been, some of you are new to the story
