E6: Adult Bible Studies Fall 2022 Session 06: Gifts of the Widows

Adult Bible Studies Fall 2022 | Sessions

Two texts from Scripture introduce us to vulnerable but faithful women who made the choice to give out of extremely meager resources. Their examples show us that God notices the small gifts: the everyday gifts, the ones that are not in the form of large checks but may come instead as bread and water and coins.

Speakers:Amy Sigmon

Topics:1 Kings 17:8-24 Luke 21:1-4 1 Kings 17 Luke 21
