Give

The Lord loves cheerful givers! John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” In this “Gospel in a Nutshell” we see the very character of God revealed. We see His great love for those who need Jesus and how that love motivated Him to give His one and only son. Likewise our love for the Lord motivates us to give to His work so that the age old message of the cross can continue to “bring people to Jesus!”

Paul reminds us to have a heart to give in 2 Corinthians 8:7, “But just as you excel in everything –- in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us – see that you also excel in this grace of giving” 2 Corinthians 8:7 (NIV)
