Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost - September 21, 2025 - Pastor Seth Dorn

sermon by The Very Rev. Anne Maxwell

Amos 8:4-7; Psalm 113; 1 Timothy 2:1-7; Luke 16:1-13David explores the parable of the Shrewd Manager in Luke 16:1-13, challenging listeners to consider the complexity and depth of Jesus' teachings. The manager's cunning actions are commended by Jesus, prompting reflection on the concept of holy cunning and the call to serve God rather than wealth. The sermon emphasizes the importance of prayer as a concrete act of generosity and hospitality, inviting listeners to cultivate a sense of watchfulness and prudence in their faith. Ultimately, the parable serves as a reminder of the grace and wisdom found in Christ's sacrificial death on the cross.Read sermon here: https://open.substack.com/pub/homily/p/holy-cunning?r=38w84z&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Luke 16:1-13

Luke 16:1-13   Jesus said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him, `What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.' Then the manager said to himself, `What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.' So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he asked the first, `How much do you owe my master?' He answered, `A hundred jugs of olive oil.' He said to him, `Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.' Then he asked another, `And how much do you owe?' He replied, `A hundred containers of wheat.' He said to him, `Take your bill and make it eighty.' And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. "Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Rev. Jason S. Glombicki September 21, 2025 Friends, today's parable is one of the strangest. Scholars have called it the most difficult, the most confusing, even the most frustrating of all Jesus' parables. And it doesn't help that our Bibles can't even agree on what to call it. The New International Version calls it “The Parable of the Shrewd Manager.” The New Revised Standard calls it “The Dishonest Manager.” Another translation says, “Faithfulness with Money.” So, […] The post Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost appeared first on Wicker Park Lutheran Church.

Amen.Come, let us worship God our King.Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God.Holy God,holy and mighty,holy immortal one,have mercy upon us. (3x)Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen.From Psalm 51Open my lips, O Lord, *and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.Create in me a clean heart, O God, *and renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from your presence *and take not your holy Spirit from me.Give me the joy of your saving help again *and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen.A PsalmPsalm 72Deus, judiciumGive the King your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the King's Son;That he may rule your people righteously and the poor with justice.That the mountains may bring prosperity to the people, and the little hills bring righteousness.He shall defend the needy among the people; he shall rescue the poor and crush the oppressor.He shall live as long as the sun and moon endure, from one generation to another.He shall come down like rain upon the mown field, like showers that water the earth.In his time shall the righteous flourish; there shall be abundance of peace till the moon shall be no more.He shall rule from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.His foes shall bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust.The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall pay tribute, and the kings of Arabia and Saba offer gifts.All kings shall bow down before him, and all the nations do him service.For he shall deliver the poor who cries out in distress, and the oppressed who has no helper.He shall have pity on the lowly and poor; he shall preserve the lives of the needy.He shall redeem their lives from oppression and violence, and dear shall their blood be in his sight.Long may he live! and may there be given to him gold from Arabia; may prayer be made for him always, and may they bless him all the day long.May there be abundance of grain on the earth, growing thick even on the hilltops; may its fruit flourish like Lebanon, and its grain like grass upon the earth.May his Name remain for ever and be established as long as the sun endures; may all the nations bless themselves in him and call him blessed.Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous deeds!And blessed be his glorious Name for ever! and may all the earth be filled with his glory. Amen. Amen.Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen.The Readings2 Corinthians 4:6–15For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.The Word of the LordThanks Be to GodMatthew 22:35–46And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,“‘The Lord said to my Lord,“Sit at my right hand,until I put your enemies under your feet”'?If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.The Word of the LordThanks Be to GodThe Apostles' CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth;I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.ExamenIn God's presence, think through the day ahead:the work you will do, the people you will encounter, the dangers or uncertainties you face, the possibilities for joy and acts of kindness, any particular resolutions you need to renew, consider what might draw you from the love of God and neighbor, the opportunities you will have to know and serve God and to grow in virtue, remember those closest to you and all for whom you have agreed to pray, ask God's blessings, guidance, and strength in all that lies before you. Gather up these thoughts and reflections in the wordsOur Savior taught us to say:The Lord's PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.The Collects of the DayLord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.Closing PrayersA Prayer of St. ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen.Lord, have mercy! (3x)God, be gracious to us and bless us and shine Your countenance upon us and have mercy on us.This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!The Father+ is my hope; the Son, my refuge; the Holy Spirit, my protection: All-Holy Trinity, glory to You!Amen!
