    This is about the widow’s offering, and what significance really is.

    Mark 12:41-45 – What Matters Most Today I’d like to speak to you on the issue of significance. As we continue to look at The Life of Jesus, there is an incident towards the end of His natural life that paints a picture of what significance is, and what it isn’t. This is a message that I have ...read more

    I want to preach on verse 45. Please note that there is no verse 45 in Mark chapter 12. But, if you meditate on the text, you have to wonder, “What ever happened to the widow?” She doesn’t have a dime in her pocket...

    Title: “How to talk to God” Introduction: This is part two from last week’s message on the “Might of the Widow’s Mite.” I want to preach on verse 45.

    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

    THE WOMAN WHO GAVE THE MOST WHEN SHE GAVE THE LEAST TEXT - Mark 12: 41 - 44 INTRO. - The woman in our text is never named in the Bible. There are only two accounts of her act given in the New Testament. She is mentioned here and in Luke 21 and both chapters give her story in only four verses. The ...read more

    Have you ever been totally dependant upon God? The lesson of the widow is that "importunity equals opportunity". Learn what it is that really impresses God!

    THE WIDOW’S “MIGHT” Mark 12: 41-44 It is a mild Sabbath morning in the Palestinian City of Jerusalem. The sun has not yet risen to full strength, and yet people are already lined up all the way down the dusty road which leads to the Holy Temple.

    Every believer is a manager or steward of God’s blessing on his or her life. If Jesus judged the stewardship of other He will judge mine too,

    Jesus went over to the collection box in the Temple and sat and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. 42 Then a poor widow came and dropped in two pennies. (lit. two copper coins = one cent) 43 He called his disciples to him and said, “I assure you, ...read more

    It’s not the size of your gift that matters, but the size of your heart. Believe every cent counts in the Kingdom of God. Learn to be totally dependent upon God.

    Why would Jesus be so impressed with a widow who gave only two mites, which is less than a cent? He was so impressed that He called His disciples together and singled her out of the crowd. Why did He honour her minute gift so proudly and publicly? The woman is nameless. We have no record of any ...read more

    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.

    Mark 12:38-44 As he taught, Jesus said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make ...read more
