The Dishonest Manager
September 24, 2028
Overview & Insights
"No servant can serve two masters... You cannot serve God and mammon." (Luke 16:13)
A manager facing dismissal shrewdly reduces his master's debtors' bills to secure his own future, and Jesus turns the parable into teaching about faithfulness with money and the impossibility of serving two masters.
