Send us a text

In this episode of Proclaiming His Word, we examine the final public teaching of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Mark. As Christ stands in the temple courts, He delivers a powerful object lesson, drawing a stark contrast between two very different individuals—the hypocritical scribes and the humble widow.

Through this passage, we receive both a caution to the fake and a celebration of the faithful. Jesus warns against the danger of hypocrisy—those who seek honor and praise while concealing the true condition of their hearts. Yet, in the widow’s offering, we witness an act of sincere devotion, an example of true faithfulness before God.

Are we among the fake or the faithful? Join us as we unpack this crucial question, examining our own hearts in light of Christ’s words.

Listen now and be challenged to lay aside empty religion and pursue genuine faithfulness before the Lord.
