The collect for this Sunday invites us to hold tight to our hope that we will be transformed into the full stature of Christ. I've been thinking about how important hope is all week as a result.
This sermon is about Hope. Specifically about the hope that the widow in the Temple courtyard must have had in God when she put gave the Temple treasury everything she had.
She reminds me of another widow that I once knew.
