    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

    We want our faith to be strong, certain, clear, constant. It is our prayer and fondest wish. But, sadly, faith sometimes seems weak, uncertain, cloudy, and intermittent. Why?

     | 4,151 views

    “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

    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.

    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.
