Luke 20:45-21:4
⁴⁵Then, with the crowds listening, he turned to his disciples and said,  ⁴⁶ "Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they love to parade in flowing robes and to have everyone bow to them as they walk in the marketplaces. And how they love the seats of honor in the synagogues and at banquets.  ⁴⁷ But they shamelessly cheat widows out of their property, and then, to cover up the kind of people they really are, they make long prayers in public. Because of this, their punishment will be the greater."

Luke 21
¹While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people putting their gifts into the collection box.  ² Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two pennies.*   ³ "I assure you," he said, "this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them.  ⁴ For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has."

Primary question: How do you make a difference with whatever you have Today?

Secondary question:When Does God pay attention?

Making a Difference is about . . .

Mercy not measurement .

Radical Trust.
