Contributed by Mike Bryant on Feb 17, 2021

God calls us to be heroes not only in extraordinary circumstances, but in our daily lives.

The Widow’s Mites Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 3, 2018

This particular widow was down to her last two mites (worth a fraction of a penny), which was the smallest offering accepted. Since it was such a small amount and this was all she had, it is amazing that she did not keep one of the coins for herself...

Sacrificial Giving

Contributed by David Mende on Aug 1, 2018

The Widow's Mite Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 30, 2018

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
