     | 22,184 views

    “He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people” Hebrews 9:26-2

    Theme: Watch and pray while you wait for the Lord Text: 1 Kings 17:8-16; Heb. 9:24-28; Mark 12:38-44 “Who can I trust?” is a question that is often asked by all of us. This is simply because your whole life depends on it. What makes this question even more difficult is that many people ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 10, 2012
     | 3,714 views

    Like the widow in the Gospel, little actions of doing good can attract the attention of the Lord, whose Word and grace can work miracles of healing, and can even heal our culture of death.

    32nd Sunday in Course 2012 Verbum Domini Ten Seconds Can Change the Course of the World On August 3, 1943, General George S. Patton entered a tent in a military hospital in Sicily to visit wounded soldiers. He had just been briefed by one of his commanders that malingering was thinning out the ...read more

     | 6,347 views

    Religion goes bad when our lives are not marked by genuine humility and heartfelt generosity.

    Title: Religion Gone Bad Text: Mark 12:38-44 Thesis: Religion goes bad when God is not the object of our devotion. Introduction (Disclaimer… this introduction may not be for the faint of heart.) I am fascinated by some of the reality programming on the Discovery Channel. One of the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,502 views

    Generosity is one of the characteristics of a person who is a disciple of Jesus Christ.

    Mark 12-41-44 "Generosity" INTRODUCTION We're rather shy when it comes to talking about money--no, that is really right. We are really scared when it comes to talking about money. We don't want to have people know how much money we have, how much money we make, or credit card balance, or ...read more

    Contributed by John Quigley on Nov 12, 2012
     | 5,947 views

    A sermon that speaks of the radical preaching and teaching of Jesus Christ.

    Mar 12:38-44 NKJV Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, (39) the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, (40) who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. ...read more

  • Seeing Properly Series

    Contributed by Tim White on Mar 19, 2014
     | 5,024 views

    Jesus cares how we view him, ourselves and our possessions.

    • We value our vision. Seeing is important. • Many have had to experience, either for a temporary period, or in an advancing stage, life without good vision. • Part of that is getting old, I am learning. Just another inconvenience of living to be older. • A pastor went to a ...read more

  • Radical Trust Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 2, 2012
     | 5,162 views

    Mark wrote nothing by accident in his gospel. Just prior to the arrest of Jesus, he presents a stark contrast between those who think they have it all and those who have nothing. Which group is which? The answer may surprise you.

    As we begin this portion of Mark 12, Jesus has just finished his series of debates with the religious leaders. They’re done, but Jesus isn’t. He came to Jerusalem to first proclaim His hostile takeover—retaking for God the thing man had conformed to his own image. He proclaimed ...read more

  • Jesus' Poor Money Sense Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 30, 2012
     | 5,476 views

    Don’t hire Jesus to be a fundraiser; he just doesn’t seem to have good money sense.

    Introduction One of the characteristics that makes our country great, as seen in the recent tragedy, is the pleasure people take in giving to worthy causes. People like contributing to something that makes a positive difference. Good fundraisers know this; that is why most of them feel good ...read more

  • She Put In Everything She Had Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 4, 2012
     | 4,298 views

    Why was the story of the widow's lepta so very important to the early Church, and to Christ?

    32nd Sunday in Course 2012 Verbum Domini Giving All Most of the stories the Holy Spirit shares with us in the Holy Gospel are stories of what Jesus did, or what he said. Only a few, like this story of the widow’s lepta, are about what he said regarding the actions of another. The actual ...read more

  • Grow (Part Three, The Habit Of Giving) Series

     | 6,560 views

    In this message we will discuss everyone's favorite spiritual growth habit... The habit of GIVING...

    Grow The Habit Of Giving When they grew up, Abel became a shepherd, while Cain cultivated the ground.3 When it was time for the harvest, Cain presented some of his crops as a gift to the LORD. Abel also brought a gift—the best portions of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The LORD accepted Abel ...read more

  • The Widow's Mite Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 30, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 32,116 views

    The story of the widow's mite has been used to show Christians what their attitude toward giving should be. This message challenges that traditional and longstanding teaching.

    Growing up I don’t think I heard a teaching about the widow’s mite that did not take the widow and make her the standard by which all of us are to give when it comes to our giving. “This poor widow woman came to the altar and gave her last mite. She did that for the Lord! What an example she is to ...read more

  • Don't Be A Show Off

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 14, 2018
     | 6,488 views

    This could be used as a stewardship sermon and hopefully would get people to realize that their is more to being a Christian than just filling a pew. Hopefully this sermon compels people to look beyond the superficial and truly look to their heart.

    (a note about the opening illustration; It is not my own but i don't know where I actually found it originally, it is tucked away with some notes I have.) There was a man who called a church and asked if he could speak to the Head Hog at the trough. The secretary said, "Who?" Then ...read more

    Have you ever thought of what difference a word of compassion, encouragement, or affirmation can make in someone else's life? This sermon calls us to recognize others' needs and to show our love for them in the appropriate love language.

    [Sermon preached on 26 August 2018, 14th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Somehow, widows have been on my mind this past week. Last Tuesday, I was contacted by a woman whose husband had just died. She asked me to arrange the funeral. That same day, I read the Bible readings for ...read more

     | 3,391 views

    In the midst of church scandals, can we look beyond human sins and see God at work? We religious leaders are the object of Jesus’ greatest criticisms; will we listen?

    In the midst of church scandals, can we look beyond human sins and see God at work? We religious leaders are the object of Jesus’ greatest criticisms; will we listen? Let’s discuss the two ways of being, the takers and givers in the context of Mark 12:38-44. Outward Show Mark 12:38-39 In His ...read more

  • What Brings A Smile To God's Face?

    Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Nov 8, 2018
     | 6,890 views

    A sermon in the character of an observer who was seeing the events that unfolded in Mark 12:38-44, where he see the difference between the religious rulers and the widow, and we explore not only what this means for us but what this story reveals about God.

    I will never forget that day. I was sitting near the back waiting to worship and out of the corner of my eye I could the one everyone was talking about. This is the one who was challenging some of the religious authorities, not with violence but with love and something called grace. And there ...read more
