When we hear the Parable of the Dishonest Manager, it makes us think the emphasis is on the one after whom the parable is named.  Similar to the Parable of the Lost/Prodigal Son (which takes place right before this one).  Sometimes what we think a parable is about, isn't always what the parable is about, because a parable (an earthly story with a heavenly meaning), is sometimes more about how God works in and through fallen humanity compared to how humans deal with their own selfish/sinful decisions. 

Message 09/21/2025 - Dishonest Manager or Merciful Master? - Text: Luke 16:1-15

As we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples who then spoke in other languages the Good News of Jesus, we remember that we are here because of the Holy Spirit at work in our own life and because of that first Pentecost.
