Podcasts about shrewd manager

Join us for the start of our new teaching series, "Leverage," where we dive into the often-avoided topic of money from a spiritual perspective. In this opening message, we tackle the question, "Whose is it anyway?" challenging the common belief of ownership and exploring the idea that everything truly belongs to God. We examine how money is deeply tied to trust in God, a subject Jesus addressed more than heaven and hell combined. Discover why Jesus used so many parables about finances and why a shift in our understanding from owner to manager can revolutionize our lives. This message explores biblical passages like Psalm 24:1 and the Parable of the Shrewd Manager in Luke 16, highlighting how our handling of earthly wealth is a test and an opportunity to invest in things with eternal value. We will discuss using what we have now to invest in things that matter forever, recognizing that stewardship implies accountability and that one day, we will give an account for how we managed what God entrusted to us. This series aims to provide a fundamental, life-altering shift in perspective, aligning ourselves with the reality that everything belongs to the Lord, and we are called to be faithful managers.

Welcome to another week of "Shenanigans" with Brandon & Craig...I mean Grounded. We hope your week is off to a great start. Listen in today as the guys have some fun catching up on the past week before breaking down this week's message on the Shrewd Manager. Thanks for listening!

Q: Dear Dr. E, I have often wondered about the meaning of Jesus' parable in Luke 16:1-8, the shrewd manager. Can you explain? Summary In this conversation, Dr. E and Hanna discuss the parable of the shrewd manager from Luke 16, exploring its context, the actions of the characters, and the lessons it imparts about shrewdness and stewardship. Dr. E emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural background of the parable and how it relates to other biblical stories, particularly in the context of Jesus' teachings on wealth and morality. Takeaways: Context is crucial for understanding biblical parables. Jesus used parables to challenge societal norms and expectations. The master in the parable represents a figure of mercy and generosity. The parable encourages believers to leverage worldly resources for good. Understanding the cultural context enhances interpretation of scripture. Jesus' teachings often subvert traditional views of righteousness. The parable of the shrewd manager ties into broader themes of grace and redemption.

A Kingdom Upside Down | Week 7: The Parable of the Shrewd Manager – A Story of Perspective | Brian Bloye

There are many beloved, well-known teachings of Jesus. There are some that are less-known and well, less loved! This week we'll dig into one of the tougher teachings of Jesus, called "The Parable of the Shrewd Manager." We'll be reading from Luke 16:1-9, discussing how we can learn valuable lessons from flawed characters. The message encourages us to prioritize using our resources to benefit others and honor God, echoing the words of Jim Elliot: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

March 2nd, 2025 Grant ChinnThis week, we're looking at the parable of the Shrewd Manager as we close out The Jesus Stories series. Jesus brings a shocking parable where the hero of the story is a dishonest manager with some very unsavory practices. Are we supposed to imitate these practices or live our lives in a totally different way? Let's see what we can learn and apply to our lives through this unique story.

Prepare to embark on a transformative journey in our latest episode, where we unravel the profound teachings found in Luke 16. Starting with a pressing question—what would you do if you had only 24 hours left to live?—the discussion leads us to a greater understanding of how time constraints can reveal our true priorities. This episode offers rich insights into the relationship between wealth and stewardship, urging us to consider how we manage the resources we've been blessed with.Listen as we dissect the Parable of the Shrewd Manager, a tale that's not about dishonesty, but rather astute decision-making in urgent times. We explore the notion that the world often serves wealth more wisely than believers, encouraging each of us to be shrewd in utilizing our funds for eternal impacts. Contrast this with the harrowing story of Lazarus and the rich man, which serves as both a warning and a call to action about our responsibility to respond to the needs around us.Join the conversation about the value of developing a generous heart that prioritizes others over personal gain. Are you budgeting for justice? Are you living with eternity in mind? This episode will challenge you in a meaningful way, prompting a re-evaluation of what it truly means to be a steward of the things we have in life. Don't miss the chance to rethink your financial decisions and take steps toward embodying generosity. Tune in now, and help us build a community that reflects the heart of God through responsible stewardship. Share your thoughts, engage with us, and let's explore how we can collectively make a lasting difference.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

Sooner or later, we all must give an account to God for what He’s entrusted to us. The question is: will we be shrewd, creative, and industrious with what we have, or will we have a lazy and unurgent attitude toward life? This parable is often considered one of the most difficult to understand. Why? Because Jesus uses a villain as an example of what to do. The tale of the Shrewd Manager is a morally fuzzy story. But if we dig deep enough, there will be heavenly meaning for us and lessons on how to treat the resources God has entrusted to us.

Luke 16:1-13 The Parable of the Dishonest Manager 1He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. 2And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' 3And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.' 5So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?' 6He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?' He said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. 9And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. 10 “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 11If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

Luke 16:1-13. Jesus warns that no one can serve two masters. Will you be devoted to God - or to "stuff?" This Parable of the Shrewd Manager is one of Jesus' most controversial parables and one of the most difficult parable to understand. Join us a Pastor Dodge digs deep into this parable and pulls out some amazing nuggets of the wisdom Jesus is sharing in the challenging parable. Luke 16:8, Jesus says, “For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of light. I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourself, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.” What Jesus is saying? He's saying that many times unbelieving people are very shrewd in their daily dealings. They look out into the distance, rather than being preoccupied with the here and now and the immediate. This manager recognizes that he was soon to be out of a job and he had a limited window of time left. So he willingly sacrifices his own commission, in order to ingratiates himself with his masters debtors so that he makes sure that in the long run, in the future, blessings like employment would come. Jesus is saying, “God's people need to take that to heart.” Because you see so often we get so preoccupied with what is going on in the moment that we forget our eternal destiny. So often we become so overwhelmed by the events of daily life. Maybe you're going through something like that in your life today, where all sorts of things have piled up suddenly and that is all you can see. What Jesus is saying is remember your ultimate destiny. If you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, if you trust in Him and He is your Savior and your Lord then you know that our ultimate destiny is not to rest 6 feet under. It is not simply to try to make it through the next years or decades of our lives. Our ultimate destiny is to be with the Lord forever. He has made us His managers. Do we understand this? Everything we have comes from God. We so often like to pat ourselves on the back and talk about our accomplishments, of what we've accumulated and what we've done. But the book of James tells us, “Every good and perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of the heavenly lights.” Nothing that you have or that I have is something that we earned or deserved. It is a gift. Our talents, our abilities, intelligence, riches, you name it, everything ultimately is from God Himself, and we are simply the managers of what He's given us. Jesus is encouraging us to manage wisely. Learn from this shrewd but disreputable character who had enough foresight to realize the future is more important than the immediate. Do not confuse the gift with the Giver. Understand God is the giver of everything. We are to use everything in a way that gives Him glory. Be generous. Put your faith in the living God into action by being generous toward others. It is what Jesus taught over and over again. In the gospel of Matthew 6:19-21 Jesus says, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” What Jesus is telling us is that everything we have comes from Him. As individuals who realize how much God loves us, who are repentant before Him, realizing we don't bring anything to the heavenly party. God has done it all. He has given us everything including His only Son Jesus. God offers life forever, by faith in Jesus, and He promises that He will even reward me, sinner though I am, for following Him and trusting Him. He wants me to use everything He's given me, wisely. We so often hoard what we have, but we are called to keep in mind our futures and give with in a manner that shows where our eyes are, on the reward of a future with God forever, because the Father gives us every good gift, everything we have is from Him, so now we are simply His managers and as His managers were are to be: -- Generous in helping others -- Generous in sharing our faith -- Generous in calling people to a knowledge of the living God -- Trustworthy in the way we deal with others -- Trustworthy in the way we relate to God -- Trustworthy in the way we use the resources, abilities, skills, gifts, finances, time, opportunities we are given -- Devoted to the Living God -- Reflecting God's Love, Mercy, Purity, Goodness, Faithfulness - Not to earn anything, but instead because we've been given everything, including salvation! -- Be generous because God is generous. -- Be trustworthy because Gos is trustworthy. -- Be devoted to God because He's devoted to us! At the end of time, Stuff doesn't last, it doesn't remain, but GOD DOES AND PROMISES DO! He is calling us to repentance and to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, The One Who Is THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL!! And this is the One we serve! https://www.awakeusnow.com The Parables of Jesus is part two of our Two Year Study of the Gospels. Jesus is known for telling some of the greatest stories ever told. In telling these stories He uses the form of a parable which is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus' parables resonate in every culture and in every generation around the world. This study is great for large group. small group or home group Bible study.

This week, Dr. Kyle Dieleman, a professor at Dordt, continues this semester's parable series with a message on “The Shrewd Manager.”

How can a seemingly dishonest act teach us about faith and trust in God? This episode unpacks one of Jesus' most perplexing parables: the story of the shrewd manager. We dissect the intricate narrative where a manager, fired for mismanagement, uses cunning strategies to secure his future. By understanding this parable, listeners gain insights into human nature, the importance of accountability, and the eternal impact of our choices. Dive deep with us into Jesus' teachings on resource stewardship, trust, and wisdom.Ever wondered why Jesus would commend a dishonest manager? Join us as we explore various scholarly interpretations and theories behind this puzzling commendation. Whether it's about improving his master's reputation or strategic planning for future favor, we discuss the ethical complexities and pragmatic commendability of the manager's actions. We draw parallels between this parable and other biblical stories, such as the parable of the ten virgins, highlighting the importance of shrewdness and foresight in preparing for a righteous future.In our final segment, we shift our focus to the broader themes of stewardship and eternal impact. We emphasize that generosity is not just a sacrifice but an investment in eternity, encouraging faithful actions in our daily lives. The metaphor of a tree planted by water illustrates our need to be deeply rooted in faith, finding sustenance in God's love. Through prayer and genuine faith, we invite you to embrace Christ's redemptive work and live out your faith authentically, promising eternal rewards and spiritual fulfillment. Join us for this enriching journey of understanding and faith.

Luke 16:1-13

Sermon on the Mount E28 – In his third teaching on money, Jesus issues a warning about elevating wealth to the position of God in our lives. To describe wealth, Jesus uses the word “mammon,” which can be translated as “the thing in which you trust.” What happens when we put our trust in our wealth? What does Jesus mean by “unrighteous wealth?” And what can it look like to be free from the love of money? In this uncut episode, join Tim and Jon in a long-form dialogue exploring the Parable of the Shrewd Manager and how we can only have one ultimate allegiance—God or money. Timestamps Chapter 1: Hate One and Love the Other (00:00-13:44)Chapter 2: What is Mammon?

How's your retirement account doing? Equity in your home growing? We pay a lot of attention to our investments. We expect them to grow, so when they are not performing as expected, we move our assets elsewhere. God is no different. He has placed heavenly resources in each of us and expects a healthy return on that investment. The Parable of the Shrewd Manager teaches us what that looks like. 

In the Parable of the Shrewd Manager, Jesus tells the story of a shrewd manager who appears to be stealing from his business owner.  The manager cuts the debt owed to his master by 50% and 20%, and collected the money from his business dealings.  Instead of being rebuked for his actions, he was commended for multiple reasons.  In this podcast, we discuss the hardest of Jesus' parables and his interpretation of it.  Psalm 18:25-26Luke 16:1-16www.messagetokings.com
