Presentation transcript:

Luke 16:1-8 – The story The steward used money to build better relationships and a better future!

Luke 16:1-8 – The story The servant is not commended for his dishonesty. The servant is commended for his resourcefulness. “because he had dealt shrewdly”

Luke 16:1-8 – The story We should be like that. Believers should emulate “the disposition, foresight, and savvy” of unbelievers “without adopting their morality”. TGNT Commentary p. 308

Luke 16:9 – The point “Unrighteous mammon” NIV = “worldly wealth” Money and other material possessions. “Fail” Probably = die

Luke 16:9 – The point We should use money and other possessions to build eternal friendships.

Luke 16:9 – The point “…The believer should use what he has in this life in the service of God in order to assure rewards in heaven” Ryrie

Luke 16:9 – The point At least part of the reward is eternal relationships! How do you build those? Notice the theme of relieving indebtedness. 16:1-9

Luke 16:9 – The point We build eternal relationships by… Using money to care for unbelievers Giving to missions/Christian organizations Giving to church Helping others materially, especially those who are in need spiritually

Luke 16:9 – The point How are we at everyday things like… Tipping? Paying for the meals of unbelieving friends? Helping those in need, especially those who are the focus of spiritual need?

Luke 16:9 – The point We can help relieve the spiritual indebtedness of others by using our resources to build eternal relationships.

Luke 16:11-12 – The possibilities It’s important to do this right! This does not mean… Not taking care of our obligations Doing this without knowledge and consent of significant persons in your life (spouse/parents)

Luke 16:11-12 – The possibilities Money is unimportant eternally, but it can be eternally significant if used correctly. Matt. 6:19-21 – motivation! 1 Tim. 6:10, – use money for eternal significance!

Luke 16:11-12 – The possibilities It is a common theme to use your resources to build your future Luke 14:12-14

Luke 16:11-12 – The possibilities Do we demonstrate such stewardship of our resources now that the Master can entrust greater responsibilities later in the Kingdom?

Luke 16:13 – The impossibility A spiritual believer cannot have divided loyalties. Either make your money serve your purposes or you will serve money.

Luke 16:13 – The impossibility Use money as a tool for God’s purposes.

Luke 16:13 – The impossibility There are many people who are indebted to God. We can build relationships in such a way as to bring them to Him. We can use money as an instrument to build eternal friendships!

Luke 16:13 – The impossibility We can be agents of God to help relieve their indebtedness and create eternal relationships! Or is money too important to us to give up?
