    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…).

Why did He honour her minute gift so proudly and publicly? The woman is nameless. We have no record of any ...read more

    I love people who overcome excuses. If anyone had a reason not to “give,” it was this woman. The widow’s might… she shuts down everyone else’s excuse!

Thus our text begins. Here the widow woman is used by Christ to illustrate the kind of Christian that ...read more
