Episode 275 - Luke 16:13-18 - The Changing Rules of Money

In this episode the hosts continue their study of the shrewd manager and focus on Luke 16:13, where Jesus says no one can serve two masters — you cannot serve both God and money. They note that Jesus spoke about money often and discuss how wealth, possessions, and giving reveal the condition of a person’s heart. The episode examines a footnote listing signs that money has become your master, such as constant worry, prioritizing earnings over important pursuits, and reluctance to give. The hosts contrast the changing, deceptive nature of money with God’s unchanging character. They highlight how the Pharisees, who loved money, sneered at Jesus and how his message calls out hypocrisy and points back to the heart. The conversation also touches on John the Baptist as the dividing line between the law and the good news of the kingdom, and how Jesus fulfills the law rather than cancels it. Finally, the episode briefly addresses Jesus’ strong teaching on marriage and divorce as a call to lifelong commitment and ties it back to the overarching theme: our motives matter. The hosts close with prayer, urging listeners to examine their hearts and choose devotion to God over devotion to wealth.
