THE FIRST AND FINAL WORD | Erwin Raphael McManus - Mosaic

About this sermon

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 NIV Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus leads us into the powerful origin story of Jesus through the book of John. The beginning of Jesus’ story starts long before his birth in a manger as a human baby sent into the world. John makes clear that Jesus is God and he was here before anything else in the universe began. Have you considered that your life without Jesus is a sentence with a missing word? Pastor Erwin sets a challenge for the new year for all followers of Jesus to be dissatisfied living only with his principles, and to find ultimate satisfaction in his person. The principles of Jesus will change your life but only the person of Jesus will change you. Attempting to live out his principles without his person will weigh too heavy; only with a dynamic, intimate relationship with Jesus can your life truly be transformed by him. From the beginning of time, Jesus created everything to be leveraged in your favor. His presence is evident in creation through the beauty we see, the food that nourishes us, and in the spirit of God.  Jesus wants to be recognized as the first and final word in your story. Tune into this powerful message as you set your intention to be shaped by the person of Jesus in 2023!
