How God Does Math

from The Weekly Word from Burns · host Burns Church

Is the story of the widow's two coins a feel-good story, or a scathing critique? Most of us miss the crucial context. Just moments before watching the widow, Jesus condemns the religious leaders for "devouring widow's houses." In this episode, we explore how this story is a living example of that condemnation. It's the launchpad for a deep look at "human math" vs. "God's math"—the world's way of adding up power, influence, and security versus the kingdom's logic of service, sacrifice, and faith. If you've ever felt that your small acts of faithfulness don't add up to much, this message is for you.
