Evening: Sacrificial Generosity

from The City Church · host Martin Segal

As part of our annual Shoebox Sunday, we reflect on what it means to live sacrificial, generous lives for the sake of others and the glory of God. Drawing from the powerful moment in Mark 12:41–44, where Jesus watches a poor widow offer two small coins, this sermon challenges us to consider the heart behind our giving.What does true generosity look like in God’s Kingdom? Why does Jesus praise this woman over others who gave more? And how does her example speak to our own lives today?In this message, Martin explores:The upside-down mathematics of the Kingdom of GodWhy sacrificial giving matters more than the amountHow Jesus sees and values what others overlookWhat it means to offer our whole selves to GodThis is not just a message about money—it’s a call to reorient our hearts. Whether you’re experiencing abundance or scarcity, Jesus calls His followers to a life of wholehearted generosity rooted in trust and love.
