About this sermon

Speaker: Pastor Cameron DeBrew, Lead Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Sermon preached: January 24, 2021 Scripture: Luke 21:1–4 The widow’s offering is commonly presented as an example of sacrificial giving—but is that what Jesus was teaching? When read in context, this familiar account exposes a corrupt religious system that devoured widows’ houses and took everything from a defenseless woman. Jesus did not commend the system that exploited her; He warned against false teachers who manipulate the desperate while promising God’s favor. Salvation cannot be purchased through offerings, religious deeds, or personal sacrifice. Our only hope is the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ, received by grace through faith.
