Be Watchful - No One Knows the Day or Hour

Be Watchful – No One Knows the Day or Hour | Mark 13:32–37 | My Bible Life Podcast
In this episode of My Bible Life, we’re studying Mark 13:32–37—where Jesus gives a clear and urgent message: No one knows the day or the hour of His return—so stay awake, be ready, and keep watch.
This teaching reminds us that spiritual alertness is not optional for believers. Jesus compares His return to a master who leaves his servants with work to do. Will we be found faithful when He returns? Or spiritually asleep?
Hello, I’m Vanessa Upkins as we go verse-by-verse through these powerful words from Jesus, uncovering how to:
Trust God's perfect timing
Live faithfully in the present
Resist spiritual distractions
Wake up to our Kingdom purpose
If you’ve ever wondered how to stay focused in uncertain times or how to prepare for Christ’s return, this study will equip and encourage you.
Listen, reflect, and be challenged to live ready—today.

She Gave Everything: The Powerful Lesson of the Widow's Offering

What does it mean to truly give from the heart? In this inspiring episode of My Bible Life with Vanessa Upkins, we dive deep into Mark 12:41–44 — the story of a poor widow who gave everything she had. Jesus watched the crowd giving at the temple and highlighted this unnamed woman’s small offering as the greatest gift, because it came from a place of complete trust and surrender.
This Bible study will challenge your understanding of sacrifice, faith, and true generosity. It’s not about how much you give but how much it costs you. Whether you’re navigating a season of financial difficulty, spiritual growth, or deeper commitment, this message will meet you where you are and call you higher.
    📖 In this episode, you will learn:
What this short passage reveals about Jesus’ heart for the overlooked and marginalized?
Why was the widow’s offering more valuable than all the wealthy donations?
How can we apply this lesson to our own lives today?
Why does authentic faith often require us to give beyond comfort?
 
💬 Challenge Questions:
What does “giving your all” look like in your current season?
Have you ever held back because you thought what you had wasn’t valuable enough?
How can you give sacrificially this week—time, talent, or treasure?
🙏 Let’s live a faith that gives like the widow did — not out of abundance, but from a heart of total surrender.
