The Shrewd Manager - James Voon

This sermon from Luke 16:1-13 covers one of Jesus' most surprising parables in which a dishonest man is presented as a positive example:

1. The parable itself (v1-8).

2. The lessons to be learned:

     Buy heavenly friends (v9).

     Give according to what you have (v10-12).

     Be devoted to the right Master (v13).

Sins of the Older Brother - Nathan Rages

3. Resented the grace given to his brother (v27-28,32).

4. Trusted in his own righteousness (v29).  

5. Denied his father’s goodness toward him (v29-30).

6. Had a final opportunity to repent (v31-32).
