THE EPISTLE LESSON Philippians 2:1-8
THE GOSPEL LESSON Mark 12:38-44
SERMON "Giving It All!"
Worship Notes
In our worship this morning, we focus on the question of stewardship. The central text is the story popularly referred to as the Widow's Mite. Jesus points to the actions of a widow (an image of a poor and vulnerable member of his society) in which she gives all she has to God compared to those in power who give so little of what they have. In our prayer of Confession, we admit that often fear holds us back from faithfully offering all of ourselves to God. We are reminded in our hymns that God is the source of all that is good and is a gracious God who showers gifts on upon us every day.
