     | 2,188 views

    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 steward is a full-blown crook. Some people think that ...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.

    WHEN SLICK GOT CAUGHT Text: Luke 16:1-13 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. But, the truth of the matter is that he ...read more

    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

    Looking at the story of the wasteful servant without trying to be too specific can be helpful to us today.

    Friday of the 31st Week in Course 2024 Parables from Jesus struck the listeners as stories that might help them understand God’s kingdom. Often the real challenge is to look at the story as a whole, and ask what general lesson Jesus is trying to help us learn. The parable we just heard is one of ...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.

    Go! And Be Faithful with Eternal Treasure Luke 16:1–13 “The Steward of a Fortune” Imagine you were suddenly handed the keys to manage a billionaire’s fortune—not your money, but theirs.
