Stewardship and Wisdom in the Gospels

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 3-day Bible study on the Gospels, focusing on the parable of the Unjust Steward in Luke 16:1-13. This passage challenges us to rethink how we use our resources, pushing us to embrace wisdom and faithfulness in managing what God has entrusted to us. In a world that often emphasizes short-term gain, this parable invites us to consider eternal impact and the values of God's kingdom.

The Gospels convey many teachings of Jesus about living wisely and responsibly—not just with money, but in all aspects of life. The story of the Unjust Steward is particularly striking because Jesus commends the steward's shrewdness despite his initial dishonesty. This paradox encourages us to adopt a creative and intentional mindset, using even our earthly resources as tools for eternal purposes.

During these three days, we will study the narrative closely, explore related Scriptures, and reflect on how we can embody wisely stewarding our time, talents, and treasures in service to God and others. You will be encouraged to develop a heart of discernment and faithfulness, learning to balance worldly responsibilities with Kingdom values.

As you engage with this plan, may the Holy Spirit guide you to greater understanding and inspire you to steward well for the glory of God and the advancement of His eternal kingdom. Let's begin this journey of faith, wisdom, and stewardship together!
