Lyrics of the Day:
“I’ve been in stuck in a storm before
Felt the wind raging at my door
Couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t find a way out
Somehow my clouds disappeared
Somehow I made it here
Maybe just so you could hear me say
The sun will rise”

Verse of the Day:
“By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.”
~Heb 11:33-34
Quote of the Day:
“Not too many people know what it‟s like to stand in goal and have that pressure. Hope thrives on it. She‟s not afraid. You have to make a split decision. You can‟t second-guess yourself. It‟s all or nothing. I think she‟s one of the few who‟s not afraid to go for it all.”
~“The Look of Sport – Hope Solo”
Lyrics of the Day:
“And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks and turns and courts sighs and present proclamations
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures
And short shallow gasps ”

Verse of the Day:
“For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this. ”

Quotes from session 8 – Erwin McManus (Innovator and Cultural Achitect of Mosaic Church):
Chasing Daylight
“There are moments in our lives where we are inspired to act.”
“When Solomon says that ‘Nothing is new under the sun’ I know deep down that he is wrong.”
“The body of Christ (the church) has accepted Solomon’s words as a truth and the result is an apathy that is dangerous”
“Isaiah 43 tells us to pay attention to the new thing. He is all about the new: Creating the universe – that was new, talking to Moses as a bush on fire – that was new, a virgin giving birth – that was new, redeeming the world by death on a cross – that was new. His mercies are new every morning, You became a new creation.”
“If you live your life outside of God you are destined to the monotonous repetition but when we step into the light of the Son we are in the presence of the God of the extravagantly new.”
“When we live our lives connected to the Creator of the Universe, we become God’s instruments for creating the future”
“We have lost the distinction between being a part of the the created order (past tense, a product) and creative order (active tense, playing a part in the creating. Because we were made in the Creators image with the creators character within us) ”
“We have been entrusted with this stewardship: to redeem the image of God in every human being and living our lives in a way that reflects the image and character of God.”
In order to create the future God has in mind we need to:
- Cultivate Human Creative Talent – there has never been an ordinary being born but most of us die painfully and tragically ordinary. We should be the EPICENTER of creativity. What is spiritual leadership if we do not set the human spirit free?
- Be the Narrators of the Human Story - We used to tell our story with authenticity and transparency. There is no book that explains the human condition better than the Scriptures. We need to reclaim the truth-telling power of the narrative of Christ. Whoever tells a great story, shapes the culture. It’s not that hard to bring people to Jesus when you tell them a story they find themselves in.
“We are a mosaic… broken and fragmented pieces brought together by the masterful hand of an extraordinary Creator.”

Verse of the Day:
“So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.”
~2 Thes 2:11-12
