Summary

This message finishes the Quest for Nobility in the popular Uprising series.

In this message, Erwin Raphael McManus reminds us that great dreams demand great courage. You will not live a life commiserate to your dreams, talent, or ability - but equal to your level of courage.

With nobility, you can be trusted with wealth, influence, and the lives of others. It begins in gratitude and finds completeness in generosity. Generous people are happier people who make the world better, while greedy people only focus on what they can take rather what they can give.

Erwin reveals that despite what you can offer the world, becoming a generous person will end up being immeasurably more valuable for you as a human being than for anyone your generosity may affect.

He leaves us with this question: what’s the sacrifice you need to make that will make the world more beautiful?

This message is drawn from Uprising, a book about taking on the character of God from Erwin Raphael McManus.
