Today we're going to talk about the "April Fools Gospel". So often I've heard messages that I hoped the minister would say "April Fools" at the end. They're filled with impossible requirements and miss the forgiveness that Jesus offers.

Today's keyword about giving is "generously". The root idea of that word is to give give with blessing. So to those who give with blessing (good word) will receive with blessing. When you read the passage in content you'll find that God gives to us so that we can give to others.

This week we're talking about giving of money. We've talked about givng willingly, with equity and honesty, generously, and today we'll talk about giving cheerfully. 2 Corinthians 9:7 "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

We've been talking about grace and money all week and today we're talking about the giving generously like the Corinthians did in 2 Corinthians 9.

Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given."
