    The meaning of life for some with a secular mentality are power, popularity and success. For those of faith, they find meaning in life when they place all that they are and have in the Savior’s hands.

    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!

    Title: “The Widow’s Might” Introduction: Jesus had just warned the people about the leaven of the Pharisees. They looked religious on outward appearance, but God looks upon the heart of a man. Thus our text begins. Here the widow woman is used by Christ to illustrate the kind of Christian that ...read more

    This week we see integrity defined by Jesus in the form of several people ? and it gives us an idea of how we can have integrity when it comes to our dealings with God, with one another, and in our giving to the Lord.

    Today we’re going to talk about the concept of integrity. Most of us when we think of integrity we mostly think of someone who is true to their word - and that’s a part of it, but that’s more accurately honesty than integrity. To illustrate the principal of integrity I want you to come visit my ...read more
