    Contributed by Matt Skiles on Mar 31, 2025
     | 95 views

    This MESSAGE SERIES is focusing on the topic of stewardship. Today in Message #2, we are going to look at 3 foundational PRINCIPLES OF STEWARDSHIP that are found in the parable of the Talents found in Matthew 25:14-30.

    Matthew 25:14-30- “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 ...read more

    The parable of the dishonest steward is perhaps the most uncomfortable one to preach on. But, there may be more there to learn than we had previously thought.

    A man took his seat in the theater, but he was too far from the stage. He whispered to the usher, "This play is a mystery, and I like this type of play so much I really watching them close up so I can catch all of the dialogue. If you’ll get me a better seat I’ll give you a handsome tip." So, ...read more

    God expects singleness of service to Him. All that we do, secular and sacred is to glorify Him.

    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.

    Flesh And Spirit And Cleverness For The Gospel

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 7, 2013
     | 5,235 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

    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 leader with any great undertaking must choose his staff. Here Jesus is choosing his staff, his right-hand men, and his helpers in the days of his flesh. They were very ordinary men. Jesus saw the Jews as wandering and lost sheep straying without a shepherd.
