The widow’s two coins—and a call to justice

In this rebroadcast sermon, Rev. Robbie Pruitt looks at Jesus’ words in Mark 12 and the story of the poor widow who gives two small coins at the temple. He connects her offering to Jesus’ warning about religious leaders who seek status while neglecting their responsibility to care for widows.

The message asks what it means to practice faith—not just appear religious—and calls listeners to care for vulnerable neighbors, speak up for those without a voice, and become doers of God’s word.

Listen to the Preserving Bible Times Podcast and reflect on how faith can take shape through justice and care for others.

Rev. Robbie Pruitt’s sermon on Mark 12 explores Jesus’ warning about religious leaders who pursue honor while neglecting widows.
