"The Unjust Doer" - Luke 16:1-18 - Jul 5, 2026 - Pastor Scotty Brown

In Luke 16:1-18, Jesus shares the challenging parable of the unjust steward to teach a profound lesson on spiritual investment and eternal priorities. Pastor Scotty Brown explores how this manager, facing termination, shrewdly used his temporary resources to secure his future. Believers are called to be even wiser, using the unrighteous mammon of this world to further God's kingdom and impact eternity. The message confronts our cultural obsession with wealth, reminding us that money is a helpful servant but a terrible master. Listeners are challenged to evaluate their faithfulness in the little things, live with an eternal perspective, and remember that our lives and resources belong entirely to a God who cannot be served alongside money.
