The Widow's Mite | Deric Bartlett | 02-22-2026

This past weekend, Pastor Deric preached from Mark 12:41-44 in a message titled “The Widow’s Mite.”  Through the example of the poor widow, we were reminded that God measures generosity not by the size of the gift, but by the heart that gives. While others gave out of their abundance, her offering reflected a deep trust in God, as she gave all she had to live on.  This passage calls us to examine not only what we give, but how we give, pointing us to a posture of wholehearted devotion and dependence on the Lord.  Sermon Notes:  1. The Great High Priest is serving His Temple (v. 41A)2. The Great people watcher sees every visitor to His Temple (v. 41B)3. The Great Heavenly Auditor is assessing our offerings (v. 41-42)4. The Great Teacher summons His disciples to learn from him (v. 43-44)
