Light creates Life

As light emits from the sun it travels 93 Million Miles across space to create a shadow on earth. Imagine what happens when God moves through all the dimensions of everything in existence to meet you. Pastor Eric takes us through scriptures to show us what happens when the Spirit of God intersects with humans and how this is indicative to what he desires for each of us. In this talk, he also raises the question "why would God go through all of this and put his Spirit in us?" For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook.

93 Million Miles x GOD

One of the great challenges of the human experience in this day and age is rest and sabbath. Pastor Tinasha teaches us that rest is spiritual practice and Jesus was an avid practicer of being alone. We learn in Genesis when God created the heavens and the earth that rest is part of the equation of creativity. In this talk, she gives some practical steps along with the revelation of how rest is integral in being human and a follower of Jesus. Being able to rest is disruptive in nature to the world we live in. Jesus models this for us in the scriptures and teaches us the value and place of solitude and rest in our lives.

The Design, Disruption, and Delight of Rest

One of the great complexities of life is grappling with Faith and the human experience. How do we reconcile what we know is true when our life experiences say otherwise? Do we know how God defines faith in our lives? Pastor Eric talks on how the scriptures tell us faith is as small as a mustard seed and it's as big as a tree. It’s dynamic, it moves, it shrinks and grows. It’s not static and fixed but resembles a living organism. Sometimes it's strong and other times you wonder if you have any. Sometimes it’s a mere sliver of hope and others times it's as strong as a mountain. Faith is a surrender, it's not an accomplishment but rather it's a journey to Him.

Wrestling with Faith

In I Corinthians 3:3, Paul writes "are you acting like mere humans?" This question is an invitation to live the way you were created to live. God isn't designed to think like us, we were designed to think like him. We have a choice to live as "mere humans" or we can live in the way God had in mind.

Searching the mind of God

In this talk, Pastor Candace addresses the conversation around the human experience and forgiveness. Our lives are filled with a myriad of moments that can often contribute to you not being aligned with yourself, each other and God.

Our life is a story that is being written. There is a place in our story and in our hearts that belongs to a Hero. We all desire a Hero to come along and help create the future our soul longs for. On Palm Sunday, Pastor Eric talks about some of the events leading up to Easter. For the Jews their Hero was called the Messiah. As Jesus declares he is the Messiah, the future they longed for is now possible. The story they dreamed of writing can now have the end they all desired. However, as the story unfolds, their Messiah dies. Listen to hear how Jesus had to rewrite the narrative to reveal what story he was writing so the story could continue into the future.

When the Hero dies in your story

Launch Sunday with Erwin Raphael McManus

The human story has been shaped by human reasoning, the reasoning of God and the reasoning of something mythical. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it reads "God has placed eternity in our hearts...". The human soul longs for meaning and definition and we spend our lives in search for the answers to our existence. In today's culture we are inclined to define self from within ourselves. Jesus entered into the human story to show us how and what it means to be human in the way he imagined. His life reveals how to be fully alive. Some say you're fully alive when you're in control, but the scriptures teach us we are are fully alive when we are fully surrendered. It's in this surrender where Jesus brings definition and meaning to our existence. For more info visit us at our website or check out our instagram.

New Way to be Human

God fills spaces he creates and he also fills spaces we create. Pastor Eric wraps up the FUTURE READY series with a talk about our Ethos, Elements and Architecture. Understanding we as humans are moved by color, design, texture, aesthetics and architecture. The elements of Brick, Glass, Steel, Concrete and Wood help to define our ethos which will inform our architecture. The future spaces and places we create will be incubators for dreamers, innovators, creators and the ones with the bright imaginations. It is where we will see Faith, Creativity and Community intersect. Visit us at www.studiogreenville.com or check out our instagram - @studio.greenville

FUTURE READY: Ethos, Elements and Architecture

Every human longs to be fully alive. Pastor Eric shares his raw and personal story of his emotional health journey. In today's culture we are told "you are your emotions" and "you are defined by your emotions". Pastor Eric teaches we are designed to feel deeply, it is what makes us human. We also are not defined by our emotions but rather each emotion is an invitation to be discipled by Jesus. Being fully alive is being able to respect, feel and process all the emotions in life. If we embrace this beautiful part of our humanity, it will enable us to be a vital part of the healing of humanity in a broken world.

One of our greatest opportunities in this cultural moment is to create a new culture and a new response. Listen to the latest talk as Candace, Tinasha and Eric have a dialogue around the heart of STUDIO to cultivate and create a multi-dimensional community (multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-dimensional). We learn from Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus that the Fellowship of the Mystery is Jesus reconciling all nations to him to create one body.

FUTURE READY: Fellowship of the Mystery

It is essential we are choosing to grow in wisdom, love and truth. As John Maxwell says "Change is inevitable, growth is optional". Pastor Candace teaches when a body is in a healthy state, it then is able to heal itself. She encourages us to continue to not go around but rather walk through anything that would hinder us from going higher and becoming healthy human beings. We are the body of Christ and the future needs us to be a healthy body who brings healing to humanity.

All of creation longs for the future and God invites you to build it with him. This week Pastor Tinasha unpacks how your identity as sons and daughters is vital to this taking place and that you don't need to perform your way into identity. She also shares that no matter what kind of culture, world or situation you are in, you can walk in this identity to create the future in spite of what's happening around you.
