    We are called not to trust in our own strength or power, but in God.

    THE WIDOW'S MIGHT There is a sly skill that many of us practice to varying degrees. It's called name-dropping. We want to impress others with who we know, because we feel that it reflects positively on us if we move in the right circles. For ex., many years ago, my claim to fame was that I worked ...read more

    God knows the motive of our giving.

    THE WIDOW’S MITES And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

    This sermon encourages us to participate in God's purpose, perceive the divine in the mundane, and persist in devotion, inspired by the widow's offering in Mark 12.

    A sermon about this wonderful resurrection story in Scripture. Mainly focusing on the compassion of Jesus and how He cares for us. But also, how we should be moved by compassion to help those around us.

    Many people give, but it really doesn’t show their committment to God. Today, we are going to look at a widow who didn’t give much by society’s standards, but she gave it all.

    When I was growing up, I participated in several organizations that held fundraisers. The High School band held the biggest fundraisers twice a year to support our band trips (Disney World, Boston, Canada, etc…). Because I didn’t have the money to go on the trips, it was important for me to ...read more

    I was performing a wedding for a young couple. Before the wedding, the groom came to me and said, “Pastor, I will give you $100 if you change the wedding vows. When you get to the part to ask me to honor, love and obey, just leave that part out for me. Then, he handed me $100. During the wedding, ...read more

    Its obvious what this is all about – yes, no. Another challenging way of reading this passage.

    The widow & the judge Its obvious what this is all about – yes? Actually just in case we didn’t get it, Luke tells us Jesus gave His own interpretation.

    It’s not the size of your gift that matters, but the size of your heart. Believe every cent counts in the Kingdom of God. Learn to be totally dependent upon God.

    Why would Jesus be so impressed with a widow who gave only two mites, which is less than a cent? He was so impressed that He called His disciples together and singled her out of the crowd. Why did He honour her minute gift so proudly and publicly? The woman is nameless. We have no record of any ...read more
