Luke Chapter 16

In Luke chapter 16, Jesus moves from the beautiful parables of the "lost" things in chapter 15 to a direct conversation about our wallets. He starts with one of the strangest stories in the Bible, the Dishonest Manager, and ends with the chilling account of the Rich Man and Lazarus. In this episode, we explore: The Shrewd Manager: Why did Jesus praise a dishonest man, and what does it mean for our eternal "investment" strategy? The Master Test: How to tell if you’re serving God or wealth (and why you can't do both). The Lazarus at Your Gate: A wake-up call about the people we’ve learned to ignore. Stewardship vs. Ownership: Rethinking everything we "own" as a loan from God. This isn’t a lesson on budgeting or 401ks—it’s a heart check. Jesus is reminding us that what we do with our money reveals exactly what we love. Weekly Homework: Choose one "Micro-Habit" to put this study into practice: The Master Audit: Review your bank statement and calendar from last month. What do they say about who you’re really serving? Find Your Lazarus: Identify one person "at your gate" this week, someone you usually walk past, and show them radical, unexpected kindness. 📖 Key Bible Verses Mentioned: Luke 16 💡 Stay Connected!
