    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 25, 2016
     | 5,500 views

     | 12,848 views

    the widow gave all she had in faith

    We just heard Jesus condemn the officials of the church for being pompous, strutting around like peacocks and preying on the poor and defenseless (Mark 12:38-44). In Jesus’ time, a woman who was widowed was the lowest form of humanity. The men owned everything (even any money and property a ...read more

    Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Feb 3, 2018
     | 5,432 views

    Stewardship is not a mater of quantity but quality. The widow did not have much but Jesus said "she gave her all".

    Our text today depicts an event in the live of Jesus when He was just sitting back and observing people.

What is in our heart is ...read more
