Jesus tells a surprising story about a dishonest manager and a generous master—not to praise dishonesty, but to reveal the genius of living with kingdom-minded wisdom. The master’s generosity opens the door for the servant’s shrewd action, and together they teach us something vital: God entrusts us with his resources not to hoard, but to handle them carefully and purposefully for his mission. Shrewd stewardship means using earthly things in ways that make an eternal difference—managing what God gives with wisdom, creativity, and a heart aligned to the generosity of our Master. A sermon on Luke 16:1-13

When Solomon dedicated the temple, he knelt with open hands, pleading for God to hear, forgive, and help his people (2 Chronicles 6:12–21). In worship, we also come as beggars with open hands—receiving God’s mercy and grace in Word and Sacrament, and then going out to share where true bread is found.
