On Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on Mark 12:41-44. This message was part 7 in the “Whys of Worship” sermon series. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Mark 12:41-44
- When you realized that the message today was about giving, how did you react? Why did you react that way?
- Jesus cheers the gift of the widow. Though small for this world’s eyes, it was none-the-less seen as GREATER by Jesus. Why did Jesus respond so positively to her gift of two small coins?
- Jesus does not measure generosity against His need, other’s gifts, or appearances. Instead He measured it according to our motivation, our ability, and its proportion to what we have been entrusted with. Did anything stand out to you about this section of our study today (and Jesus reaction to the widow’s gift)?
- Have you ever considered that Jesus sees us as we give? How does knowing that impact your generosity?
- When was the last time you prayerfully considered what generosity looks like in your life in this season of your life? Ask the Lord anew what you should do!
- What are some ways you can remember your giving in a world with automatic withdrawals and electronic payments?
- What is one particular application you took away from this passage/message?
