    The Good Example Of A Crook

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 28, 2013
     | 6,674 views

    Sadly, Christians are some of the most gullible, naïve folks around. Almost every week you read another story about how some trusting Christian was bamboozled by a scam where he gave away his life’s savings in some “sure-fire investment.”

    Trusting in worldly riches defines worldly destinies but trusting in God guarantees heavenly treasures.

    How rich is rich? According to a survey of people who out to know, the answer is $1 million to $5 million in assets, Investment managers Neuberger & Bergman sponsored the survey of people who stand to give or receive inheritances in assets of $500.000.

    I. EXORDIUM: What do you want? The praise or applause of the LORD or His Salvation? Answer: Both. Because I want to be praised by the LORD in Heaven.

    Our attitude toward money & how we use it is a barometer of our spiritual state. It reveals whether we are foolishly thinking only of the present or astutely looking to eternity. What is the purpose of money anyway?

    LUKE 16: 1-13 [PARABLES IN LUKE] TRUE RICHES [Matthew 6:25-34] Some athletes, entertainers and CEOs receive astronomical salaries. They take all they can get and use it for their own personal interests. They seem to set an example for our culture which spends so much to entertain ...read more

    God wants to teach us how to be biblically shrewd with money.

    Jesus talked more about money than heaven or hell. Half of His parables are about money. In Matthew, Mark and Luke, one out of every six verses is about money or money management. Why? Because money influences our lives for either good or bad. If you don’t learn to manage your money, it will ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,678 views

    We need to break free from the spirit of Mammon, which causes us to crave more, having less to show for it. Mammon wants to keep you enslaved and distracted from following God fully, but God wants you to be free!

    Breaking Free from Mammon Luke 16:9-15 9 "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. 10 "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust ...read more

    Flesh And Spirit And Cleverness For The Gospel

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 7, 2013
     | 5,447 views

    We must listen to the Spirit of God rather than our weak minds and wills so that we can bear the fruits of the Spirit and with cleverness spread God's kingdom.

    Today’s Scripture readings offer a number of challenges and difficulties to the Christian. On the face of it, it appears that Jesus is applauding a dishonest steward’s actions in cheating his employer. Worse, He seems to be telling His disciples that the ends justify the means. Of ...read more

    Handling Money

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 7, 2014
     | 5,602 views

    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.

    12-20-04 Title: Handling Money Text: “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Luke 16:13) Bible Reading: Luke ...read more

    It is obvious that Jesus is not commending this man for being underhanded or dishonest. But the shrewd manager is an example to us in that he saw clearly what the issues were, he cared about the outcome and he did something about it. Tonight I want us to

    Making a choice to serve Jesus (Luke 16:1-13)

    This is one of the more difficult passages of Luke’s Gospel, and the interpretation of it divides commentators and preachers. What are we to make of it? I think the key to it is, once again, to look at it in the context of the central theme of Luke’s Gospel – what does it mean to ...read more

    This message talks about the importance of being good stewards not only of our monetary and worldly resource, but of the abundant spiritual resources God has given us as well.

    Cooking the Books Luke 16:1-17 [INTRODUCTION] Have you ever heard the expression Cooking the books? Do you know what that means? Well, it has nothing to do with cooking or cookbooks, although I suppose that if you stretch the analogy a bit, you might say that it is a bit like Weight Watchers ...read more
