    If we are offered grace, it is a sin to not offer it to others

    Luke 16:1-13 As you might have noticed, we have been hearing a lot of parables from Luke in the last few months; this is Year C in the revised common lectionary. . . the year of Luke. And Luke seemed to concentrate on Jesus and his parables as teaching tools for his disciples and anyone who ...read more

    We cannot misuse our responsibilities and interactions with people

    Luke 16:1-13 The Gospel of Luke contains a lot of parables – stories told by Jesus to help us understand how we are to live our lives. Some of these parables seem to say one thing, but when you really think about them, they have a totally different meaning. The name of this parable is the unjust ...read more

    We cannot be faithful to the world and faithful to God at the same time. We must learn to put God first and everything else behind God.

    Faithful? Luke 16: 1 - 13 Intro: A city boy moved to the country. He bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey. The next day the old farmer drove up and said, “Sorry son, but the donkey died.” The city boy replied, “Well, just give my money back.” ...read more

    Overwhelming Grace: The Prodigal Son, The Unjust Steward, And You!

    This sermon examines the relationship between the prodigal son, unjust steward, and the hearer. It draws upon the parallels among all three to make a Gospel application. I am indebted to Dr. David Schmidt's observations on this text found on 1517.org for the idea.

    A few weeks ago, I bought the movie Dunkirk on sale, which is about the evacuation of over 300,000 British troops after the Fall of France in World War II.

    Some thoughts on a challenging text.

    THE UNJUST STEWARD. Luke 16:1-9. For centuries interpreters have been more than a little puzzled, perplexed and disturbed by the parable of the unjust steward, at the beginning of Luke 16. The Emperor Julian, otherwise known as Julian the Apostate, even tried to use this parable to show that ...read more

    By the fourth century the parable of the unjust manager ..... which we read today ...... and the parable of the prodigal son were separated by ..... a chapter division. If the monks who established those divisions ...... had kept the two parables in the same chapter, ....... The entire history of ...read more

    The parable of the unjust steward (Luke 16:1-13) is a parable that has been awkward for some to understand. It is awkward because, it seems, that the unjust steward gets rewarded for his crookedness. It was about grace when we don't deserve it.

    Handling Money

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 7, 2014

    The first commandment of the world is “self-preservation”. A shady business deal is winked at, questionable practices tolerated, and a clever crook is highly praised by the world. The law is on the side of the crook and the criminal many times.
