A BRAND NEW YOU | Jamar Brown-King | Mosaic

About this sermon

In this compelling new message, Pastor Jamar Brown-King invites us to step into the new. Pastor Jamar loves random facts, and he sets up his message with an in-depth description of molting: the violent process where an animal sheds its outer shell to make room for new growth. Pastor Jamar shares that he recently stepped into a lot of new seasons - he became a husband, a father, and moved from Los Angeles to Atlanta – and all of those have challenged him to change in different ways. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13:11, he explains that there are times in our lives when we need to desire to grow up and out of our old ways. We need to choose to grow. Pastor Jamar explains that there is a painful but necessary separation happening from the old version of who we were. Though he emphasizes that community is an important part of finding a safe place in our pain, he draws us to Psalm 32:7 to show us that God is the safest place for us to hide. In this life-changing message, he explains why we may feel like the old was a waste after we’ve step into the new. But just like God used Pastor Jamar’s fifteen years in Los Angeles at Mosaic to form his character for his life now, God always uses the material of our past to create our future. If you feel the new you fighting to come to the surface but are not sure how to surrender to it, this message is for you!
