Passage: Luke 16:1-15

WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE PARABLE OF THE SHREWD MANAGER:
Jesus praises the use of TEMPORARY RESOURCES to build relationships that will have ETERNAL SIGNIFICANCE.

OUR OBJECTIONS:
1. It's easy to be generous with SOMEONE ELSE'S money.

RESPONSE: All you have BELONGS TO GOD.

2. I don't have ENOUGH to be generous.

RESPONSE: With that perspective, you will NEVER HAVE ENOUGH.

3. I will LOOK FOOLISH.

RESPONSE: Only looks foolish in the eyes of those SERVING MONEY.

CLOSING QUESTION:
WHOSE KINGDOM are you building with GOD'S INVESTMENT IN YOU?
