Mark 12:38-13:2 “Her Whole Life”

  By ,

Sermon Details:
What does true discipleship look like? Are those who know the most and look the most holy an example of what a follower of God should be? This week, Jesus notices the those who appear to love God, but don’t really, and compares them with a poor widow.

Questions for Reflection:

  1. How can the story of the poor widow be misused? How doe the context inform how we read her story?
  2. What is exemplary about the poor widow?
  3. Have you seen Christians using Christianity as both the justification and the means of serving themselves?
  4. How might you be tempted self-centred religiosity?
  5. How does the poor widow point us towards Christ and true discipleship?
