Scripture and Sermon Title for Sept. 20, 2009

The Secret of the Windows Mite
Mark 12:38-44

Jesus talked about two topics more than any other. they were not love, prayer, or faith. They were the kingdom of God and material possessions or money. He talked about what the world would be like if we lived out the values God wants us to live out. He talked about material possessions and how relationship with them both affect and reflects our relationship with God. The interesting thing is how neatly the two very important things to Jesus fit together - if we get our money and our life choices lined up with the values that God wants for us, the the world would be a much better place - much closer to the Kingdom of God that Jesus said could be lived out here and now. The secret of the widows mite will help us understand this a little more clearly.
