We showed this video on Sunday to go along with a sermon on Mark 12:38-44, which is the story of the poor widow who gave two copper coins. The widow gave humbly and sacrificially. This short video is meant to take a humorous poke at the opposite – how God does not intend for us [...]

December 22nd, 2007
