Shrewd Grace

Jesus tells a story about a dishonest manager that makes many of us uncomfortable. Why would Jesus end a story by praising someone who acted dishonestly?

In this message, we dig into Luke 16:1–9 and discover that Jesus isn’t endorsing dishonesty, but pointing to something deeper: urgency, clarity about the future, and how we use what’s been entrusted to us right now.

This parable confronts our tendency to coast, assume tomorrow will look like today, and delay living fully for God’s kingdom. Instead, Jesus invites us to live with intentionality and to use our resources, relationships, and influence in light of eternity.
