Proper 20

Luke 16.1-13

Context

This week we take the theme of risky discipleship a little further and look at what is often considered one of Jesus’ most puzzling parables: the dishonest manager.

Common thread – Deal with risk (Luke 16.1-13)

Justice in this world is weighted towards the rich. We are challenged as disciples, through this parable, to rebalance the scales towards the poor.

An alternative thread for adults, A call to prayer, is based on 1 Timothy 2.1-7.

These resources were first published in Issue 49 September/October 2010.
