Summary

What fuels the economy of God?

Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus reveals the power of work, responsibility and trust in this impactful message.

Through the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, Pastor Erwin unwraps biblical truths that can change how we create and shape our lives.

Many followers of Jesus believe they want to know God‘s will for their lives so they can be faithful.

In reality, we can often spend our lives seeking out God’s will so we don’t have to be responsible for taking ownership of the talent, skill and intellect God has given us.

Pastor Erwin shares that when we are immature in our faith, our conversation with God centers around if God can be trusted. When we mature in our faith, we realize the conversation has always been about if we can be trusted.

If you’re ready to live a life that reflects the character of Jesus, this message is for you!

0:00.0	I want to talk for a few moments about the economy of God, because I always find this

0:37.7	I realize a lot of what I say has to have that disclaimer, that astering, but in heaven,
0:44.2	and then I'm around people and other events where no one believes in God, no one believes
0:48.5	in Jesus, and everyone is so excited about how the universe is for them.
0:54.4	Now, it's not that the universe is going to be for them in heaven, the universe is for
0:59.3	them right now.
1:00.3	It's about that, I don't know who's in a better position.
1:03.8	The people who believe in God who aren't going to get any help until heaven, or the people
1:09.7	who don't believe in God who know the universe is for them.
1:14.4	And I started thinking about how there's actually this third dimension that we really don't
1:19.5	talk about or understand as clearly.
1:21.6	It's called the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven.
1:26.4	And when Jesus walked among us, he didn't really talk as much about heaven as a destination
1:32.9	after death.
