The Widow's Mite

In this sermon based on Mark 12:13-17, Pastor Jim explores Jesus' encounter with the Pharisees and Herodians, who aimed to trap him with a question about paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus cleverly asks for a coin and replies, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." The sermon highlights our dual citizenship as believers—we have duties to earthly authorities, such as paying taxes and obeying laws, as well as responsibilities to God, like tithing and following His Word. Pastor Jim also discusses the story of the widow's mite from Mark 12:41-44 to illustrate that giving should come from a joyful, generous heart rather than a focus on the amount.
