Stirred to Give: When God Puts Something in Your Hands

In today’s message, we walk through the powerful journey of Israel from Exodus 12 to Exodus 36 — and what it teaches us about obedience, stewardship, and the condition of our hearts.

God never intended for His people to walk into freedom empty-handed.

In Exodus 12, the Israelites leave Egypt carrying silver, gold, and garments, blessings placed in their hands by God Himself. But the real question is: What do we do with what God gives us?

When God blesses us, we often start to feel like owners instead of stewards. From Exodus 13–24, the people lived selfishly, and by Exodus 25, when God calls them to bring an offering, their hearts weren’t ready. And like Israel in Exodus 32, when what we have isn’t surrendered to God, it becomes something that demands our worship.

But everything changes in Exodus 35.

Hearts were stirred. Spirits became willing. Obedience returned.

And the result? In Exodus 36, the people brought more than enough — so much that Moses had to tell them to stop giving. Imagine a church overflowing with generosity because hearts were stirred by the Spirit of God!

This message challenges us to ask:

👉 Why has God put this in my hands?

👉 What am I holding onto that belongs to Him?

👉 Will I let God stir my heart again?

We end today with a call to take the biblical test of generosity, not out of pressure, but out of a willing and cheerful heart.

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart… for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7

Join us for prayer, communion, and a moment of heartfelt response as we ask God to stir our hearts, renew our obedience, and prepare us to make room for what He is building in our city and beyond.
