    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 widow & the judge Its obvious what this is all about – yes? Actually just in case we didn’t get it, Luke tells us Jesus gave His own interpretation. So, its a story about persistence in prayer and God’s compassion and responsiveness. Isn’t it? Well let’s just think a little about it. There ...read more

    I break down these widows into two different categories: 1- The over sixty servers 2- The younger idlers

    INTRO.- One of life’s difficulties is losing loved ones. And it seems like men generally die before women, which makes the wife a widow. ILL.- I read this note about Vicki Kennedy, widow of the late Teddy Kennedy who passed away Aug. 25, 2009. (NEWSER) – All agree that Vicki ...read more

    Jesus broke through boundaries to bring the Kingdom of God as a reality in the lives of people that were “outside” the existing community of faith, so that we might see that the call of Jesus to us is that we also would break the boundaries
