    Seeing Properly Series

    Contributed by Tim White on Mar 19, 2014
     | 4,596 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

    While watching the people (Rich and Poor) give their offerings, we can discern that He watches and knows all that we do...

    God wants us to help those with the fewest of resources, to learn from them and we get blessed.

    32B Fr. John Haughey, S.J., notes that Jesus, who spoke Aramaic, has an interesting word for money: mammon, which means “that in which you put your trust." Some people put their trust in their money, others in their looks, others in their muscles, their brains, their careers, house or ...read more

    Las dos viudas de nuestras lecturas eran pobres de bienes materiales pero habían guardado el tesoro de la piedad y de la fe.

    32B Este día leemos acerca de la ofrenda de la viuda. [Chiste] -Mamá, ¿me das dinero para ese pobre hombre que está gritando como loco? -Y ¿que es lo que está gritando? -Helados, Helados! Cuando se trata de recaudar fondos, les encanta a los párrocos traer a colación a esta viuda, ya que ...read more

     | 5,141 views

    A contrast between acquisitive Scribes, and a gift given out of penury.

    FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR: THE WIDOW’S MITE. Mark 12:38-44. In our previous reading, Jesus pronounced one Scribe, ‘Not far from the kingdom of God’ (Mark 12:34). Yet Jesus’ opinion of the Scribes in general was not unlike His opinion of the Pharisees (cf. Luke 11:43). ‘The Scribes and the ...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

    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?

    What Brings A Smile To God's Face?

    Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Nov 8, 2018
     | 5,854 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

    Check Your Motive

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 11, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,815 views

    Jesus contrasts the Teachers of the Law with the poor widow. In the former, we see people more interested in themselves than in God; hypocrites, pretending to be something they were not. In the latter, we see a lady who loved God authentically and completely.

    Check Your Motive Mark 12:38-44 In March 2009 Bernie Madoff pled guilty to running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Bernie’s last name is appropriate, because he literally “made off” with billions of dollars belonging to his investors. A Ponzi scheme is pretty simple in concept: you convince ...read more

    The Widow's Mite Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 30, 2018

     | 30,455 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

    The Widow’s Mites Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 3, 2018
     | 9,224 views

    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...

    -Tuesday- Jerusalem The Widow’s Mites (Lev. 27:30) Mark 12:41-44(Focal Passage), Luke 21:1-4 Mark 12:41-44 41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which ...read more

    Things are not always as they appear. Little can be much, and much can be little. The Lord knows the desires of our hearts and the motivation behind our gifts.

    An Abundant Gift Mark 12: 41-44 This had been an eventful day for Jesus and the disciples. Having returned to the Temple in Jerusalem for the third time, Jesus had dealt with several confrontations. He was challenged regarding His authority; the Pharisees and Herodians sough to trap Him with a ...read more

    Sacrificial Giving

    Jesus doesn't say that the poor widow gave more than anyone else. Rather, he says that she gave “more than all.” But why did Jesus say that she gave more than all? I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.
