Moments before Jesus died, he cried out to God, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Pastor Erwin highlights that God wanted us to know that Jesus could relate to the darkest moments in our story because of what he endured on the cross. Not only did the veil in the Jewish temple tear in two, but bodies were raised from their graves and began to walk around the city. In Matthew chapter 27, a wide array of astonishing events come to pass at the moment of Jesus’ death. In Lead Pastor Erwin McManus’ captivating Easter message “Eternal,” he brings us into the monumental moment when time and eternity collided as Jesus died on the cross. If you've lost touch with God's voice in your life, this message will help you reconnect with the only voice that can shape your life into something beautiful, good, and true. Our lives are either shaped by the words of darkness or the words of light and God is longing to illuminate our lives with light when we give his voice precedence. Pastor Erwin encourages us that even if we feel as though we’ve lost touch with the frequency of God’s voice, we can always tune back into it when we decide to listen for it again. Pastor Erwin reminds us that our soul is in the wrong conversation when we’re not in a conversation with the one who created us.

This voice always tears man, God, and creation apart from one another. The voice of doubt is introduced as a snake speaks to Eve and contradicts God’s voice. In contrast, the voice of darkness enters the script in Genesis chapter 3. He creates, he blesses, and proceeds to call His creation, “Good.” Here, we learn that God always creates what is good, beautiful, and true.

This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans. What if God put that desire into the design of our human souls? What if none of us are ordinary? What if God designed us from the start to live extraordinary lives? Isn't it proof enough that no other creature wonders how they can change the mundane nature of their existence? Only humans wonder if there is more for us. And though we may see others living unordinary lives-we believe that it is simply something we're not cut out for.īut Erwin challenges us to think differently. As he ponders this phrase, he shares that many of us feel as though we are ordinary.
