A Generous God

<p>Join this powerful sermon as Pastor Megan reminds us that generosity began with God. Generosity is God's idea. Genesis 1 Shows us that God was generous with His creation right from the start. From light coming forth and the ground producing fruit to the animals and all that He created, we see God's generosity. Genesis 1 v 27 teaches us of how God demonstrated His generosity by making mankind in His own image. </p><p><br></p><p>We see from the beginning that everything came from Him. It's important to remember this because as humans we tend to forget that it all comes from Him. There are a lot of things man has created but man's creation comes from God's creation. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Him. God is the beginning of it all and He is generous, He provides for our needs. </p><p><br></p><p>As a generous Father is towards His children, He asks us to be good stewards of His creation. That's why we can put our hope in Him because He provides for us. We have a hope that He will help us.</p><p><br></p><p>1.

He intended for us to be good but we cannot achieve that on our own and so that’s why He gave us Jesus. We need Jesus to help us - to make us good. That's why He is our redeemer. We might fall and things might get corrupted in the world and we tend to blame Him for that corruption but we need to know that He is good and His creation and intentions are good. </p><p><br></p><p>2. He is generous in His thoughts towards us. </p><p>God was and is not only generous towards us with His creation but with His thoughts towards us. God thinks about us - Psalm 6v3.</p><p><br></p><p>Think about how a God who created the universe an
