Summary

Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus brings a new message on ‘The Power of Being Fully Present,’ recorded live at Mosaic South Pasadena.

Do you find yourself caught reminiscing on the past or daydreaming about the future while the moment you are in passes you by?

Pastor Erwin challenges us to master the power of being fully present.

Drawing from Isaiah 43, Pastor Erwin uses the example of the Israelites to show what happens when God wants to move with strength in the present while His people are stuck in the past or anxious about the future.

God is always ushering in the new. Pastor Erwin reminds us to not grow discouraged when we don’t see His movement in our lives; often we are just looking for Him in the wrong place.

To harness the power of being fully present, you must put your past in the past, fight the fight you are in, and trust God to see what you cannot see.

Your past, whether beautiful or painful, cannot thrive in the future. Your future cannot be experienced today, so why waste your life in fear, anxiety, or dissatisfaction with your present?

If you need to discover how to be where you are and bring all of yourself to your present moment, this message is for you!‘

The Power of Being Fully Present’ is available now!

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

0:12.8

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

0:17.1

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

0:21.3

And you can order it today at TheGeniusOfJesus.com.

0:25.2

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and somewhere in the middle of the

0:28.6

conversation, you forgot and you were listening? And you just went somewhere else and

0:34.4

started thinking about something else, but you're completely unaware of it. It wasn't

0:37.8

conscious ignorance or ignoring of them. It was you just drifted away and then they caught you.

0:45.8

Because a lot of times you can drift back and forth, go in and out and know and know us.

0:50.2

You ever just put them on mute on the phone? And they're talking, talking, talking. Now you're

0:56.0

talking to someone else, you're doing something else, you're going to the bathroom, you're just,

0:59.8

you're just living life all there talking because you realize they don't even know you're on the

1:03.5

other end. But sometimes you're in a conversation with someone that's a really meaningful conversation

1:09.6

and you should be listening and you're not listening and then they call you out. Where are you?

1:15.6

You're not even listening. You're not even here. Which is of course a really absurd thing

1:21.6

for my wife Kim to ask me. I mean for someone to ask you, where are you? I'm right here. And that's

1:28.0

usually my response. I'm right here. She's no, you're not. You're somewhere else. But the truth is

1:34.2

most of the time when you're somewhere else, you're not somewhere else. You're actually

1:40.4

some time else. You're not usually somewhere you're not in that moment. You're somewhere you

1:45.6

were in the past or somewhere you hope to go in the future. And I wondered how many times in our lives

1:53.6

we needed to be fully present and we were mostly absent. And it's a curious thing when you think

2:00.8

about how we humans move through time. And we think that we move through time in a cohesive
