For Whom Do You Live? (Luke 16:1-13)

This sermon wrestles with Jesus’ strange parable of the dishonest manager in Luke 16, arguing that Jesus is not praising dishonesty but calling his followers to be just as wise and intentional in using their resources, abilities, and treasures for God’s kingdom as the world is in pursuing its own goals. Ultimately, the sermon challenges us to examine what we truly serve—wealth, security, control, or God—and to use everything we have in faithful service to Christ.
