from Mark 12:41-44

Why does “steawardship” tend to come across like something ugly in church? Why do we approach a season of stewardship with some hesitation?
Perhaps it is because in our minds, stewardship has always been about money…what if we truly lived like Jesus didn’t give His life for our money, but our hearts? Then perhaps it would change our understanding of what it means to live surrendered lives…
In Mark 12, we find perhaps the most important example of surrender and sacrifice next to the Cross that we find in all of the New Testament.
