  • Giving Out of Gratitude

    The widow in Mark 12 gave all she had, demonstrating complete trust in God’s provision.

In this week’s sermon from November 17, 2024, we explore Mark 13:1-13, where Jesus warns His disciples of the destruction of the temple and the trials to come.

The Firm Foundation: Building a Life That Stands (Mark 13:1-13) | November 17, 2024
In this week’s sermon, we explore Mark 12:38-44 and the story of the widow’s offering. Jesus contrasts the showy giving of the wealthy with the humble, sacrificial gift of a widow who gave all she had. This message challenges us to examine our motivations for giving and to reflect on what it means to live with genuine faith, humility, and trust in God. The widow’s example teaches us that God values the heart behind our actions more than the amount we give.

The Widow’s Offering: A Lesson in Genuine Generosity (Mark 12:38-44) | November 10, 2024
In this week’s sermon from November 3, 2024, we dive into Hebrews 12:1-3, exploring what it means to run the race of faith with endurance. We are reminded to lay aside anything that hinders us, to look to the “great cloud of witnesses” who have gone before us, and to fix our eyes on Jesus, the “pioneer and perfecter of faith.” This message encourages us to persevere, trusting that God strengthens and equips us to run with purpose.
