Giving - God Loves A Cheerful Giver

Join Pastor Joseph Cortes taking a closer look at the true meaning of the Greek word Agathosune (giving cheerfully and liberally), and how we should reflect it as we grow in Christ.

Ask yourself before you listen: "Do I give burdensomely (or at all) to the Lord, or am I thrilled at every opportunity to give to the Lord just ASAP?". (Cue Jeopardy music).

This series is presented in the order they were recorded.

Presented by Pastor Joseph Cortes of Faith Cometh By Hearing ministries at http://www.TeachingFaith.com

In 2 Corinthians 9:7 it reads, “God loveth a cheerful giver.” The Greek word for cheerful is Hilaros which means when someone is prompt to do something, they are ready in mind, with a joyful heart. In the Septuagint it also means to cause to shine. Today I am looking for Hilaros Givers who are ready and full of joy for the opportunity to cause others to shine by hearing, learning, and growing in God's Word. Join with us today and participate as a Hilaros Giver. If you wish to participate use the following link: http://www.teachingfaith.com/giving
