What's the Cost?

In Mark 12 Jesus observes a poor widow putting 2 coins\u2014worth a fraction of a penny\u2014into the Temple treasury. We learn that she gave all that she had\u2014her entire life\u2019s savings. Generosity to God is measured not by the amount but by the sacrifice. And there will be certain sacrifices we must make as followers of Jesus\u2014not just financially, but practically, materially, emotionally, and even physically. What does it really \u201ccost\u201d us to be followers of Jesus? Pastor Gary challenges us with the example of the poor widow in today\u2019s study.
