    This week’s “Parables to Live By,” has been a mystery for many, and one of the most challenging so far. It’s the parable, “The Unjust Steward.” It’s a story that can easily come straight out of this week’s news. Come and find out why Jesus commends shrewdness.

    Estate Planning

    When you know you’ll have to depend on your friends when your luck goes sour, you build in as much good will as you can along the way.”

    Levi was puzzled. The last time Jesus told a story about a rich man whose steward was mismanaging the estate while the owner was away, the owner kicked the guy out and brought in a new men. He understood that. It was like God was the rich man and the Pharisees and the priests were the stewards, and ...read more

    A steward is a person employed to manage another's property, especially a large house or estate. God has appointed us to be stewards in this world.

    A steward is one who manages something for another. The picture here is a steward who worked for a rich man. This steward had a great deal of responsibility. He was to manage the man’s lands. He was to do the collecting from others who owed. There are three great areas of stewardship that are ...read more

    Shrewd As Serpents Series

    “Be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves” (Mt. 10:16). This verse is not advocating hypocrisy. We are not to employ the methods of the ungodly, but we should posses a similar creative capacity. We need to be clever in our dealings.

    In Matthew 10:16, Jesus advised us to “be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.” Was Jesus telling believers to be two-faced hypocrites? Was He saying we need to be unjust in our daily activities and dealings, and then turn right around and act like model Christians on Sunday? No. Jesus was ...read more

    Some people think that anyone Jesus mentions in a parable is a hero or an example of a noble character. If that’s what you think, then be prepared for a shock, because two of these men are really bad characters.

    Perea Parables of the Unjust Steward, Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:1-31 Parable of the Unjust Stewart This parable has been greatly misunderstood, and one of the reasons is because it looks as though our Lord is commending a crook.

    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.

    An interesting teaching on how we as disciples should view and utilize the money systems of this world.

    Last week, we were going through the parable of the prodigal son—prodigal meaning somebody who squanders resources. Today, we're going to be talking about the prodigal manager, another person who is squandering resources. Jesus is going to use this illustration to prove one main point, but ...read more

    No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
