    Extravagant Giving

    Contributed by Ernie Arnold on Nov 5, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,188 views

    The stories of the two widows provide for us to understand and practice the spiritual discipline of giving. We serve a giving God, we are transformed through giving and giving brings balance and harmony in our lives.

    Scripture: Mark 12:38--44; 1 Kings 17:8-16 and Hebrews 9:24-28 Subject: Giving - Extravagant Giving Proposition: The two widows stories show us how to be extravagant givers.

    Seeing The Invisible

     | 5,114 views

    The world teaches us to seek after power and prestige, as the Scribes do, but Christ teaches us a different way to live.

    Year after year, Ken and I have marveled at the wonderful, glorious fact that we can take Mary Ellen clothes shopping and she is not concerned about brand names. We’ll take her to pick out some jeans and long-sleeve shirts in the Fall, or shorts and t-shirts in the Spring. We usually need to ...read more

    My Two Cents Worth

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Nov 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,816 views

    Using the story of the widow's mite, we learn just how much "two cents" is worth.

    I find it interesting identifying the origin of popular words and phrases. No less so that the phrase many of us have often used, “But, that’s just my two cents.” Where did that phrase come from? Depending upon where one searches for the answer, we would discover that the English ...read more

    The Poor Widow's Offering Series

     | 36,567 views

    Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson would’ve been lost.

    THE POOR WIDOW’S OFFERING (Mark 12:41-44) Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson ...read more

    Blessed Are The Poor Widows

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 10, 2015
     | 8,380 views

    God measures giving not by what we give, but by what we keep for ourselves. He measures the gift by the sacrifice involved. That is why Jesus valued the widow’s gift. She sacrificed her well-being in order to show her love for God.

    When I was preparing my message for today, I came across a story about a little boy who went to church one Sunday morning to get out of the cold. He had been trying to sell newspapers, but no one had passed by. He entered the church, hoping to pass an hour unnoticed in the back row. The minister ...read more

    Why Giving Matters (2) Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Sep 4, 2015
     | 6,649 views

    Giving does not matter because it it important to the church. Giving matters because it is central to our relationship with God.

    Today we have come to that ever-dreaded sermon topic, money. I would like to tell you that I'm going to sugar-coat today's sermon and make it easy to swallow so that we can all leave here feeling good about ourselves. But if we are going to be honest, really honest, about why giving matters, I ...read more

    Giving God Our Leftovers Series

    Contributed by Dan Raymond on Dec 7, 2015
     | 11,923 views

    We continue looking at the astounding mathematics of grace by looking at a widow's very small offering that Jesus says is more than anyone else gave. I also have graphics available.

    (Show video of comedian Anthony Griffith talking about hand-me-downs) That's funny. Hand-me-downs, leftovers; those things are okay I guess if you're talking about old clothes or your mom's cooking. But there are other times when leftovers aren't such a good idea: handkerchiefs, motor oil, maybe ...read more

    The Power Of Contrast Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 25, 2016
     | 4,789 views

    There is nothing like a contrast to make the point; Jesus used the idea of contrast to highlight Who He is, and to distinguish external religion from true devotion.

    The Power of Contrast (Mark 12:35-44) 1. Illustration … a few years ago,. Trying to tell someone about the Windfarm on I-65 in NW Indiana. This person had never seen the big windmills, and was thinking of a place with 3 tiny windmills on US 31.. or the types farmers use to pump water in ...read more

    This is part of a series of very brief messages that can be used in church newsletters for stewardship.

    41He sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 42A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. 43Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow ...read more

    A Lesson On Giving

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 30, 2016
     | 9,395 views

    The Temple maintained a public fund for charity, out of which money was available for helping the poor. People would bring their gift and place it in one of the thirteen trumpet-shaped containers. Each was labeled for a specific use.

    The Widow's Mite Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 30, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 30,235 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

    Jesus’ Last Sermon Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 21, 2018
     | 18,055 views

    This was our Lords last public message. It is a scathing denunciation of false religion that paraded itself under the guise of truth. Some of the common people no doubt were shocked at his words, for they considered the Pharisees righteous.

    The Widow’s Mites Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 3, 2018
     | 9,012 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...

    Having dealt with many questions, and silencing His accusers, Jesus did not remain silent. He seized the opportunity to ask some questions regarding their view of Him.

    Confronting the Skeptics Mark 12: 35-40 Our text today immediately follows the question Jesus was asked by one of the scribes regarding the Greatest Commandment. Having pleased this particular scribe with His answer, the remainder of those present were reluctant to challenge Jesus any further. ...read more
