Today's sermon turned into a blog post with audio and video:
https://www.scottlapierre.org/the-widows-mite-and-sacrificial-giving/
We can learn much about sacrificial giving from the account of the widow’s mite in Luke 21:1-4 and Mark 12:41-44. The widow’s mite teaches that giving is much bigger than the gift. The gift is an iceberg above the water, and below the surface is the sacrifice that went into it. The gift is a tree, and the roots in the ground are the sacrifice that went into it.

The men who remembered Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation. It was smaller. Plainer. Poorer.
And God said its glory would be GREATER.
He wasn't talking about the building.

The old men who had seen Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation.
Not because the work was bad. Because it wasn't what they remembered.
God's answer to discouraged builders was one word: Work.
