    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. I tried to watch this movie at night as I was going to bed. Between falling asleep, helping with Mia, or checking my phone, the movie took ...read more

    How to turn tears of Rage and Grief into tears of Joy.

    The vicar and I have this ongoing debate about whether you need to include every reading in each sermon. She reckons you should, I think that if they aren’t obviously related then pick one or two and concentrate on them. Jeremiah 8.18 - 9.1; Psalm 79.1-9; 1 Timothy 2.1-10; Luke 16.1-13 That ...read more

    Wisdom In Wealth

    In perhaps the most challenging parable to understand, Jesus calls us to use our worldly wealth for divine purposes, to be faithful where we are, and to keep God first in our lives.

    Luke 16:1-13 Wisdom in Wealth What if you came to church one Sunday, and your pastor got up to give the sermon and said, “I don’t have a clue what this means!” Well, I’m pretty close to that with today’s passage. Maybe you could relate to that kind of pastor, since sometimes the Bible is just hard ...read more

    The parable of the dishonest steward points to imagination and how wealth can be used for the goodness of God's kingdom in our midst.

    September 22, 2019 Hope Lutheran Church Luke 16:1-13; Amos 8:4-7 Good Money after Bad Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord.

    The Parable Of The Conniving Steward

    In one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture, the Lord uses a parable to tell people who choose money over God to use it to win friends in hell & He uses the ambition of the ungodly to spotlight the laxity of the saved.

    THE PARABLE OF THE CONNIVING STEWARD Luke 16:1-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Police Officer Robert Marklin of Algonac, Michigan says, “I was in my patrol car by a blinking red light – the equivalent of a stop sign – when I watched an elderly man drive straight through without even slowing down. ...read more

    Not The Prodigal Son

    In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the younger son squandered his inheritance. And yet, his father received him back. So, is what we do with our money not important?!’ The Parable of the Dishonest Manager is Jesus' answer.

    "Not the prodigal son" Today we’re looking at what is often called the Parable of the Dishonest Manager, or the Parable of the Shrewd Manager, or similar. A rich man entrusts his manager with stewardship of his assets. The manager wastes his master’s wealth. The rich man demands an ...read more

    You are not being loyal or honoring God by putting makeup on a cadaver. Seek life, not mausoleums.

    Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

    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.

     | 5,082 views

    The church has stayed too long in the wilderness of failed leadership. Now is the time to use the stewardship calling to accomplish the role of leading the church into the new dispensation after the crisis of the pandemic has run her course.

    The present pandemic crisis has revealed the inevitable need for good leadership and governance not only in the world, but in the church as well. Daily we are experiencing and witnessing the failure of leadership in many high places. In fact those who are supposed to lead are failing the calling. ...read more

    Within the Last Few Months of the Global Pandemic, with several questions in the hearts of many, “How come a Pandemic after the Beginning of a New Year?”, was it caused by several atrocities of the World or is it a Natural Catastrophe or an Environmental syndrome or an engineered economic disorder?

    The unjust steward is not commended for his fraud, but for his thinking on his feet.

    THE PARABLE OF THE UNJUST STEWARD. Luke 16:1-13. 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 ...read more
