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

From the mountaintop to the valley… Elijah experienced both. One moment he stood victorious on Mount Carmel as God sent fire from heaven to silence the false gods of Israel. The next, he was running for his life, sinking into despair, certain his work had accomplished nothing. We know that feeling too—when ministry feels fruitless, when pews are empty, when hearts seem unmoved.
Yet that’s where God met Elijah. Not in fire or wind, but with presence—an angel’s touch, a gentle whisper, and renewed purpose. God still meets us in the same way today. Come and be encouraged.
