Service Notes

In one of the most perplexing Gospel passages, Jesus tells the parable of the dishonest manager—a story that seems to praise shrewd but immoral behavior. How do we reconcile this teaching with the heart of the Gospel?

Fr. Tom explores how Luke uses this parable as a bridge between stories of sinners and teachings about wealth, challenging us to think differently about crises, money, and faith. From the prodigal son to the space race to modern examples like medical debt forgiveness, we see how bold, creative, and even risky responses can bring life, hope, and freedom—when guided by God at the center.

This sermon invites us to wrestle with difficult Scripture, to be shrewd for God’s sake, and to consider how bold faith can transform brokenness in our world.
