Have you ever thought, “I’m good. I give. I’ve arrived”?

In this message from Mark 12:41–44, Pastor Chris Kouba unpacks the powerful story of the widow’s two coins—and challenges everything we assume about generosity.

Jesus sat down and watched people give. Not to judge their amount… but to reveal their heart.

In a culture that measures generosity by size, Jesus measures it by sacrifice.

As part of our Blueprint series, this message reminds us that spiritual growth is never a destination—it’s a direction. Just like parenting, athletics, or building a home, you never “arrive.” The same is true in your giving.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why God sees what you give (and why that matters)
• How God measures sacrifice, not size
• Why you never “arrive” in generosity
• The giving progression—and how to identify your next step
• How the widow’s offering points directly to the Gospel

Whether you’ve never given, give occasionally, tithe consistently, or give strategically—everyone has a next step.

Next week is Commitment Sunday, and this is your opportunity to respond in faith.

But before you make a commitment… ask God:
“What’s my next step?”

Because generosity isn’t about what God wants from you.
It’s about what He wants for you.

And ultimately, our giving flows from the greatest gift ever given—Jesus Christ, who gave everything so we could have life.
