PARISH NEWS REFLECTION - Luke 16:1-13
Are you one of those people who supports two teams in the same sport? Suppose
you have two teams in the AFL. Now that might seem like a good idea, after all
you might think, if one team doesn’t do so well maybe the other might. But what
would you do, if they both did well, and then they met in the Grand Final and
went head to head with each other? Who would you support? Who would you
want to win? One or the other? You see, situations like this show us where our
true allegiances lie. Ultimately, we can’t support two teams in the same
competition, because there can only truly be one winner. In our reading today,
Jesus turns our attention to a parable concerning wealth. In the parable we will
see how a manager uses and abuses his masters wealth and indeed where is true
allegiances lie.
1. The Dishonest Manager
2. God vs Wealth
3. Wise Stewards
