First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon – Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – February 8, 2026

As Jesus watches a crowd donate money in Mark 12, he notices the rich contributing much. He also notices a poor widow give two small copper coins. Jesus calls his disciples together, and teaches them who has contributed more. The rich gave routinely out of excess, while the widow gave abundantly with next to nothing. Following Jesus calls us to generosity that trusts God and serves others, even when it costs us.

Scripture: Mark 12:41-4
