This message talks about a straight instruction from a crooked illustration.
God owns everything
We were made to manage what God owns
The shrewd steward . . .
. . . looked ahead
. . . planned ahead
. . . acted quickly
The purpose of giving
You can’t take it with you à But you can send it on ahead
The pattern for living
If I’m faithful in the little things then God can trust me in the big things
The principle of blessing
There is a direct relationship between my giving and my spiritual depth
The priority of loving
I must choose what I will love most in life.
Money is to be used not loved
Money is a great servant it is a lousy God
If I live for money, it becomes my master
If I give my money, it becomes my servant
Jesus taught: Money leads heart follows
