The Shrewd Manager
(Luke 16:1-13) As we pick up our series on Complex Parables from last year, today's parable is one that has largely defied Christian interpretation. The Parable of The Shrewd Manager. Is Jesus inviting us to cheat our bosses? Is Jesus telling us to use unethical practices? Or is something else going on here? Join us today as Gavin unpacks this perplexing parable and helps us to understand what is being asked.

As we read through the Gospels we see Jesus employing the use of parables regularly as he taught. Stories that helped to get his point across using the images and ideas of the time. While at first glance some of these parables seem to have a simple conclusion, often there is complexity layered into what Jesus was teaching. Over the next 3 weeks we will be exploring 3 of these complex parables and what they mean for us today
