Kingdom Builders: From Scarcity to Surrender - Don Weiss

About this episode

Pastor Don Weiss discusses the deeper meaning of generosity as illustrated by the poor widow's offering in Mark 12:41–44.

In Mark 12:41–44, Jesus observes people placing their offerings in the temple treasury. Many rich people give large amounts, but Jesus highlights a poor widow who gives two small coins—everything she had. In this sermon, Pastor Don Weiss shows that this moment reveals something deeper than generosity. It reveals where our dependence truly lies.
