The Widow's Gift Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 15, 2005

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 did He honour her minute gift so proudly and publicly? The woman is nameless. We have no record of any ...read more

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.

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
