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

Have you ever had someone tap you on the shoulder and invite you into something bigger than yourself? That’s what happened to Elisha. Elijah didn’t give him a job description or a ministry title. He simply threw his mantle over Elisha’s shoulders—a call not first to speak, but to follow. Before Elisha would stand as a prophet, he had to walk behind one.
This moment isn’t only about Elisha—it’s about us. Jesus does the same. He calls us to follow, to lay aside self and security, to step out of our fields and into His path. That call doesn’t just reach into Sunday mornings—it stretches into every corner of our lives, into our homes, our work, our relationships. The mantle of Christ rests on us, and the question is: how will we respond? A sermon on 1 Kings 19:19-21.
