This week Trent spoke about giving by looking at the passage Mark 12:41-44. In this passage, Jesus tells his disciples that a poor widow who put in two small copper coins into the offering put in something more valuable than the wealthy people put into the offering. That is because she sacrificed the little bit that she had to live on, while the wealthy did not really sacrifice anything that was particularly important to them. They gave from their abundance and still had an abundance, while she gave all she had. When we give, we should not just be giving something that does not requiree a sacrifice, which means that we should be giving up something that we wish we could have in order to give someone else something that he or she needs.- Jason
