Here's the excerpt that Lisa shared…
"Give Sacrificially
Early in our marriage, Katie and I were part of a home fellowship. A couple joined the group soon after being released from prison. Even though they hadn’t been Christians for long, their affection for the Lord was evident. They were thankful that He had forgiven them, that He would want a relationship with them after the things they had done, and that He would allow them to begin new lives in Christ. Because of their decisions that led to their incarcerations, and the burned bridges with most—if not all—family members and friends, it wouldn’t be too much to say that our home fellowship was just about all they had.
They were part of our group when Katie was pregnant with our first child, Rhea. Everyone was excited for us, but perhaps because this couple had no children or grandchildren, they seemed more excited than anyone else. They desperately wanted to give Rhea a gift when she was born, but as you can guess, they didn’t have much. They settled on a dirty, smelly blanket, which they put in a torn plastic bag. They were smokers, so we had to put the blanket on the sanitary cycle on our washer quite a few times, but we still couldn’t get rid of the smell.
While the blanket didn’t cost much and was never useful to us, the gift was very meaningful. Why? Because they had so little, we knew the sacrifice they had made. Giving is much bigger than the gift. If I can use two analogies, the gift is an iceberg above the water, and below the surface is what went into the gift. The gift is a tree, and the roots in the ground are what went into the gift."

Jesus stood before Pilate falsely accused, unjustly treated, and surrounded by hostility — yet He remained calm, composed, and fully trusting His Father.
In this message, we draw three powerful lessons:
1️⃣ Trust in God produces composure in trials
2️⃣ The Innocent One suffered for the guilty
3️⃣ Jesus isn’t on trial—we are
If you're walking through difficulty or injustice, Christ’s example will strengthen your faith and point you to hope.

Few passages expose the darkness of the human heart—and the beauty of Christ’s innocence—like Jesus’ illegal trial before the religious leaders.
He was mocked, blindfolded, beaten, and condemned… all while remaining the sinless Son of God who willingly suffered for our salvation.
This message walks verse-by-verse through Luke 22:63–71 to show:
• the wickedness revealed in human depravity
• the innocence and obedience of Christ
• why Jesus had to suffer this way
• what this means for your walk with God today
