Today’s Sermon:
Luke 16:1–13
We Are All Managers
Welcome
We’re glad you’re here!
Cornerstone
My hope is built on nothing less�Than Jesus’ blood and
righteousness�I dare not trust the sweetest
frame�But wholly trust in Jesus’ name
Christ alone
Cornerstone
Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all
When darkness seems to hide
His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil
Christ alone
Cornerstone
Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all
When he shall come
with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness
alone
Faultless stand before the
throne
Christ alone
Cornerstone
Weak made strong
In the Savior’s love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all
Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of
abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name�When I’m found in the desert
place�Though I walk through the
wilderness�Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun’s shining down
on me
When the world’s ‘all as it
should be’
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with
suffering
Though there’s pain in the
offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I’ll say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name (2x)
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Matthew 18:21–22

Christ Is Mine Forevermore
Mine are days that
God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of
kings
But mine is hope in
my Redeemer
Though I fall His love is sure
For Christ has paid for
every failing
I am His forevermore
Mine are tears in times of
sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must
travel
Where I see no earthly good
But mine is peace that flows
from heaven
And the strength in times
of need
I know my pain will
not be wasted
Christ completes His work
in me
Mine are days here as
a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will
encounter
Harm and hatred for His name
But mine is armor for
this battle
Strong enough to last the
war
And He has said He will
deliver
Safely to the golden shore
And mine are keys to
Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found
its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Come rejoice now O my soul
For His love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is
sure
Christ is mine forevermore
And mine are keys to Zion
city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found
its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

We Are All Managers
All we have is not ours but God’s; we’re simply managers.

Luke 16:1–13
1 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’ 3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
Luke 16:1–13

5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6 “ ‘Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied. “The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’ 7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’ “ ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he replied. “He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’ 8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.
Luke 16:1–13
We Are All Managers

Luke 16:1–13
9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. 10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? 13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
