Episode 379: Sanctified and Savvy (Message 3: What Christians Do)
Description
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager – What Was Jesus Thinking?
At first glance, Luke 16:1–13 is one of Jesus’ most confusing parables. A dishonest manager gets fired, cuts deals behind his boss’s back, and is praised for it. Then Jesus says, “Be like that guy.” What does this mean?
In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores how Jesus isn’t celebrating dishonesty but calling his followers to be wise, strategic, and generous. In a world driven by wealth, disciples are called to be spiritually savvy—using what we have to invest in what matters most.
Learn how faithful stewardship, intentional living, and bold generosity can reflect God’s kingdom in a world that often gets it wrong.
