Shrewd Steward: Lessons from Luke 16 on Money and Faith

This sermon examines Luke 16:1–15, focusing on the parable of the shrewd manager. It explains the manager’s scheme, the master’s surprising reaction, and why Jesus commends shrewdness rather than dishonesty.

Shrewdly (adverb) means acting with sharp judgment, practical intelligence, and keen awareness, especially in ways that are effective for achieving a desired outcome.

It often implies being astute, perceptive, and strategically wise, sometimes with a sense of clever calculation.

Pastor Jud applies the parable to modern discipleship, urging listeners to use worldly wealth wisely for kingdom purposes, to evaluate where their hearts truly belong, and to practice faithful stewardship.
