Introduction

Good morning, church family! So glad to see you all here today. We're diving deep into Luke 16:8 today, to dissect the Parable of the Unrighteous Steward. You might be thinking, "What's up with that? Why are we focusing on a parable about a dishonest manager?" Well, there's more to this story than meets the eye. It's not just about a shrewd manager; it's about using unrighteous goods wisely and building wealth in heaven.

CS Lewis once said, "If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next." Isn't that something? Our focus on eternal treasures doesn't distract us from this world but rather equips us to make a lasting impact here and now.

Let's read together from Luke 16:8, "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light."

Opening Prayer

Dear Lord, we thank You for Your word that guides us and teaches us. As we delve into this parable today, open our hearts and minds to understand the wisdom it holds. Help us to understand how to use our earthly resources wisely for Your kingdom, to store up treasures in heaven. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen. Now, let's dive in.
