Summary

The church is a movement, not an institution.

In this electric message for Mosaic’s Foundation Sunday, Lead Pastor Erwin McManus unpacks how movements are marked by generosity.

Former slaves in the book of Exodus were instructed to stop bringing gifts to build a new sanctuary because the workers were overwhelmed with the amount of offerings.

They had internalized a priceless insight: we should bring gifts to God in proportion to the way he has blessed us.

Their freedom compelled them to give.

Are we, people whose lives have been changed by the freedom of Jesus, just as compelled to give?

Pastor Erwin challenges us that God harnesses the power of the willing to bring the mission of Jesus to the world.
