Erwin McManus takes us on a journey through his Quest for Enlightenment in his powerful Uprising series. Targeted on the value of wisdom, Pastor Erwin shares that for most of us, the wisest person in our life is not the wealthiest or the smartest. What they bring is an ability to navigate life in a way that leads to wholeness - both emotionally and relationally. In Ecclesiastes chapter 9, a man named Solomon points out a man who was poor but saved a city with his wisdom. Pastor Erwin reminds us that we often ask for resources when God wants to give us vision. What vision has God entrusted you with that you need his wisdom to navigate? Even when your resources cause you to second guess what you can achieve, this message will encourage you to trust that God’s supply of wisdom is more than enough! This message is drawn from Uprising, Erwin Raphael McManus’ book about taking on the character of God.

This message begins the Quest for Enlightenment in the popular Uprising series. In this message, Erwin Raphael McManus shares that if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by life and can’t seem to find your way through, then you’ve known the need for enlightenment .The Quest for Enlightenment begins with the need for wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to connect the dots, to foresee the future. Imagine if you had the ability today to make the choices that would create the future you long for? Two people can go through the same trauma and have radically different experiences. One can emerge broken and fragile, while the other emerges stronger and more resilient. The key is perseverance founded in faithfulness, which is where wisdom begins. Erwin shares that the journey of faithfulness is one you cannot take alone - it requires a community. We all fail, we all fall, we all stumble; but you need someone with you on the journey to help pick you up!

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?

Did you know that courage is not the absence of fear, but the absence of self? Courage begins with integrity; without integrity we will not find within us the resolve or the resilience to face the pressures of life. To have integrity is to be whole and be complete - to have nothing within you that is not true to the character you possess. Everything in your life depends on integrity to function. For example, a plane you fly in across the country must have integrity in its composition to survive the flight - nothing in it that would compromise its ability to fly. In this same vein, humanity must have integrity to live lives that are not faultless, but false-less.This message shows us that to pursue a life of truth and oneness with Jesus requires the pursuit of integrity.
