    The Grace Of Giving

    Contributed by Dan Santiago on Aug 18, 2012
     | 15,378 views

    We need to take giving seriously because OUR MOTIVE AND MODE OF GIVING MATTERS TO GOD.

    INTRODUCTION Christians should take seriously the discipline of giving for the Lord’s ministry. Others thought that this is optional and can be replaced by other forms of service. But the Bible is clear that giving materially for the Lord’s work is equal in importance compare to that ...read more

    “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on” Mark 12:43-44

    Theme: Honouring God with our treasure Text: 1 Kings 17:7-16; 1 Tim. 6:17-19; Mark 12:41-44 Giving is an attitude that is contrary to our fleshly nature. The flesh is a way of thinking that is contrary to the Word of God and it has been said that the last part of us to be converted is our pocket. ...read more

    God has a claim on your life. He does not just claim a part of you for Himself. He claims all of you. He doesn’t just want part of you…He wants all of you.

    HEARTBEATS “The Widow’s Might” Mark 12: 41-44 Burt Reynolds once starred in a film titled “The End.” In the movie he decides to take his life by swimming as far as he can until he is completely exhausted and then not having the strength to get back he thought he ...read more

    Jesus--the radical rebel that he is--continually turns our world upside down. He questions our assumptions and challenges our goals and our definitions of success.

    TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST NOVEMBER 8, 2009 Mark 12:38-44 “Upside Down” INTRODUCTION One of the questions that parents dread to hear asked them by their children is, “Why?’ This simple question challenges our assumptions and our preconceived ideas. If forces us to ask questions that ...read more

    It isn’t how much you give to the work of the church that matters. It is how much you keep for yourself that concerns God.

    Mark 12: 38 – 44 / More Than All Intro: In 1975 I assumed my duties as the pastor of Memorial Presbyterian church in South Bend, Indiana. It was a unique ethnic congregation with many customs and traditions. One such “tradition” was the publishing of the annual “Scandal Sheet of Giving.” --- A ...read more

    Giving all we have to God through Jesus Christ. We should give everything because it all belongs to God. And we should give gladly.

    I read an alarming statistic. Annually, Americans spend more on dog food than on church contributions. We may want to review some priorities. I also read, “It’s not how much of my money will I give to God, but how much of God’s money will I keep for myself.” The ...read more

     | 6,927 views

    By contrasting the scribes with a poor widow woman, Jesus teaches us about true devotion.

    THE MARK OF TRUE DEVOTION Text: Mark 12:38 – 44 What does it mean to be truly devoted to God? Does it mean that you are there every time the church doors open? Does it mean that you are the first to volunteer when there is a job to be done? Does it mean that you faithfully put 10% of ...read more

    The Widows Mite. (PowerPoint slides to accompany this talk are available on request - email: gcurley@gcurley.info)

    Reading: Mark 12:38-44. This chapter closes with two warnings from the Lord: • A warning against the pride of the teachers of the law or Scribes (Mark 12:38-40) • And a warning against the pride of the rich (vv. 41-44). Quote C.S. Lewis: “A proud man is always looking ...read more

    I’m not allowed to eat at Mc Donald’s, except on very special occasions, once a year.

    The stories of the two widows provide for us to understand and practice the spiritual discipline of giving. We serve a giving God, we are transformed through giving and giving brings balance and harmony in our lives.

    Scripture: Mark 12:38--44; 1 Kings 17:8-16 and Hebrews 9:24-28 Subject: Giving - Extravagant Giving Proposition: The two widows stories show us how to be extravagant givers.

    Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson would’ve been lost.

    THE POOR WIDOW’S OFFERING (Mark 12:41-44) Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson ...read more

    Blessed Are The Poor Widows

    God measures giving not by what we give, but by what we keep for ourselves. He measures the gift by the sacrifice involved. That is why Jesus valued the widow’s gift. She sacrificed her well-being in order to show her love for God.

    When I was preparing my message for today, I came across a story about a little boy who went to church one Sunday morning to get out of the cold. He had been trying to sell newspapers, but no one had passed by. He entered the church, hoping to pass an hour unnoticed in the back row. The minister ...read more

    This is part of a series of very brief messages that can be used in church newsletters for stewardship.

    41He sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 42A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. 43Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow ...read more

    Jesus summarizes the law in the Great Commandment, the scribes seek honor, and a poor widow gives all.

    Mark 12:28-44 “Total Commitment INTRODUCTION It doesn’t take long, while reading the gospel of Mark, to realize that the kingdom of God is a very different from the nations and societies of the world. When reflecting on the kingdom of God and what it means to be a disciple of ...read more

    My Two Cents Worth

     | 12,092 views

    Using the story of the widow's mite, we learn just how much "two cents" is worth.

    I find it interesting identifying the origin of popular words and phrases. No less so that the phrase many of us have often used, “But, that’s just my two cents.” Where did that phrase come from? Depending upon where one searches for the answer, we would discover that the English ...read more
