The first attribute of a Life that Matters that we will examine is generosity. Maybe this is an opportunity to refresh our call to stewardship. Stewardship isn’t something that should be heard only once a year and then when we are asking for a commitment to give. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.
But on the one hand, we have “beware the scribes . . . devouring the widows’ houses,” and on the other, we have “she has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” There is something of a contrast here, maybe some redefining of the kind of life we are called to live. So what do we need to redefine in our own lives? Join us as we begin A Life that Matters with Mark 12:38-44 and Everything She Had.
