Irmela Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 1. Why was the steward in Jesus' parable (16:1-8) being fired? What in the passage displays his character? The steward or manager was wasting the rich man's possessions according to verse 1. After he had been called in and relieved of his responsibilities, the manager showed his true colors, by suggesting to the masters debtors that they change the amount that they actually owed him. This reflected a big flaw viz., dishonesty. It was not him that changed the amount. It was the debtors themselves that changed the amounts. This reflected shrewdness on his part. No finger could be pointed to him to have done a crooked deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmela Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 2. In what way did the steward use money to secure his future? He jippoed the accounting books. He let the debtors reflect a lesser amount owing to his master. In other words, he did not directly get the money into his hands but while he was still in control and in an official and legal capacity acting on behalf of his master he let them reflect a lesser amount to be pd to him. He basically gave them discount on the amount owing. Those debtors in turn would feel compelled to help him out when he was out of a job. So he was securing an income for himself. He could use what he suggested they do to blackmail them that he would reveal it openly that others would see that they were corrupt. (He never wrote or changed anything. They could not prove him guilty. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmela Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 3.What about the steward's actions does the master commend? What is the point that Jesus draws from this parable? His shrewdness. He acted dishonestly and by so doing gained some friends. (Birds of a feather flock together.) These so called friends would stand by him in time of him struggling for money. (Basically he will be rewarded for his shrewd actions and get support by the one time debtors) When and if giving to the poor, you will be remembered and rewarded.

Irmela Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 4. In what ways should we use money to secure our eternal future? (16:9) Giving alms to the poor, secures a reward from God. He remembers kindnesses shown. We are rewarded for giving to the poor but do not secure a place in heaven for it. When the rich young ruler came to Jesus,he asked Jesus what essentially good deed he should do, to possess eternal life. Then Jesus said to him, keep the commandments. After that discussion Jesus said, if you would be perfect(have spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character)... Sell all that you have and give to the poor and you will have riches in heaven. So that means our reward is there in heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmela Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 5.In what kinds of experiences does Jesus test and seek to mould our trustworthiness with money? Is it possible for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus? If not, how might this occur? If we are entrusted with little and do our best there and prove that we can be trusted with it, then very likely we will soon be entrusted with much more. If and when a person is obsessed with money i. e. he is owned by money then even if he tithes, he has no real love or compassion for the poor. To become a committed Christian, it is important to give all to Christ. Like that, money or possessions will not have a hold of you. Even time will be committed to Christ.

Irmela Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 6. Why are giving alms and tithing (or sacrificial, generous giving to God's work) so difficult for money-obsessed people? When money has a hold of you, then it is not easy to have faith and believe that there will be enough to see us through the month when sharing/giving to those who don't have. In this way it is very difficult to let go of money. So money has power over you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmela Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 7. In what ways are we not property "owners" but property "stewards" of what God owns? What are the implications of this for our lives? Whatever we own, actually belongs to God. It is entrusted to us to use while we are in this world. In that way we are stewards and not owners of what God owns. We are responsible for how we use what is given to us. We cannot just do anything with it. What would God have us do with it.

Irmela Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 8. Why is it so difficult to try to serve both God and Money? What God puts first is not necessarily what 'Money' puts first. We serve God and He lays on our hearts to give an amount to someone. If He alone is Master of our life it will easily be done ... BUT If Money also is being served, then immediately a difference will ensue and certain thoughts will come up to stop the giving ... No it is not necessary, he has enough, he does not need it, that's too much to give, let's make it less, etc. Looking at the situation like this, one can see that it is not feasible to serve God and Money.

Irmela Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 9. Jesus states that high human values tend to be the things most detestable to God. How can we know that we have really conformed our lives to God's values rather than just kidding ourselves? God knows our hearts and motivations. Our actions will not be able to hide our true heart for long. We should be able to test our lives by checking if 1) we use the money entrusted to us to accomplish godly acts and spiritual goals 2) we act responsibly with the money and property which is actually God's 3) we are trustworthy and honest concerning what God has entrusted to us (be it a little or a lot, be it a small job or a big one) 4) we are free from money's control of our lives (do we go where there is more pay or do we go where God leads us) 5) we truly live fully in God's control. Are we fully owned by God. I guess an honest look into our lives and actions will reveal where we really stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 1. Why was the steward in Jesus' parable (16:1-8) being fired? What in the passage displays his character? The steward was to manage the estate for his master and see that it made a good profit. The master had heard a rumour that this was not the case and immediately asked for an inventory of his goods and an audit of his books. He also fired the steward. We find that he was not acting in his master’s best interest and was squandering and wasting the master’s possessions. I don’t think there was fraud involved, because the master would have had him immediately arrested. It is more likely incompetence and mismanagement; he had become too lazy and carefree, enjoying the good life on his master’s estate. A main requirement of stewards is that they be faithful (1 Cor 4:2) which is not the case here. He was an unrighteous manager; Jesus even calls him dishonest (16:8).

hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 2. In what way did the steward use money to secure his future? The steward was not told to leave immediately. Bad decision. This gave him time carry out a plan to get on the good side of his master’s debtors, and hereby secure his future. He calls them in one by one, and gets them to changes their I.O.U’s to his master, reducing them substantially. By doing this he makes these debtors personally indebted to him, knowing that they will not complain or refuse him hospitality – even perhaps employing him. The debtors did not suspect the steward of being dishonest. They must have assumed that he had talked the master into reducing the amounts. This was sometimes done, for example, in bad weather conditions. The master eventually realises what has happened. What his steward has done is unjust and dishonest, yet legal. But, already the debtors are celebrating their good fortune with the people of the village, praising both the manager and the owner. To save face, he cannot change the figures back to the original amount, disclosing that the steward had made a fool out of him. But he does admit that his steward was very shrewd, indeed.

hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 3. What about the steward's actions does the master commend? What is the point that Jesus draws from this parable? The steward was not commended for his dishonesty but rather for the way he acted shrewdly, and for his foresight in providing for his future. The Lord said, “The sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.” The point Jesus is making is that we can learn a valuable lesson from this unfaithful steward, who is wiser than many “sons of light,” in that he saw what was coming and he used what had been entrusted to him while he could to prepare for the future. Meaning that ungodly, unregenerate people show more wisdom in providing for their future in this world than true believers show in laying up treasures in heaven. A faithful steward (believers) must use their Master’s (God’s) money shrewdly to provide true riches for eternity. In other words, there is a way we can take it with us, namely, by wisely investing the resources that God has entrusted to us now in things that matter for eternity.

hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 4. Extra Credit: In what ways should we use money to secure our eternal future? (16:9) (This is a difficult verse for most of us. Study the exposition for clues to the answer.) God’s ways are higher than our ways (Isa 55:9), especially when it comes to money matters. Perhaps we need to change our attitude toward money. We need to follow God’s way to true riches rather than the world’s way to deceptive wealth and ultimate, eternal poverty. To secure our eternal future we should be using our money helping others, winning souls for our Lord Jesus. Someone once said: “Money can be used to buy Bibles, books, tracts and thus, indirectly, the souls of men. Thus, what was material and temporal becomes immortal, becomes non-material, spiritual and eternal”. This is the exact opposite of what the world does. In this world we battle to get ahead by earning/taking everything we can get our hands on. The more we have, the more we are admired. But, we have seen earlier in Luke that our possessions are God given, and are to be used to benefit others more than self (6:20-26; 12:13-21). And here, Jesus tells us that we need to use our worldly possessions to “gain friends for yourselves” (16:9). Meaning that the people we have helped will be in heaven to welcome us there. They will be our heavenly reward. Everything we spend helping others is immediately banked in heaven waiting for us to arrive to collect the rewards we have earned. The steward had only temporary rewards and a temporary home, but ours is eternal. We are to be shrewd stewards of our wealth, now while here on earth, before it is taken away from us when we die. Death comes, then … eternity. Prepare for eternity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 5. In what kinds of experiences does Jesus test and seek to mould our trustworthiness with money? Is it possible for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus? If not, how might this occur? Jesus gives us the responsibility of managing our (very little) earthly wealth, to determine how faithful we are in handling what He has given us, and if He can trust us with (much) kingdom riches. These verses look at this life as a proving ground for heaven. God is seeing where our priorities are and with what He can trust us. Our wealth, our possessions, and our ministry to others must demonstrate faithful stewardship, and this will determine what is ours in heaven. If we have successfully managed earthly wealth, which is not really ours, but belongs to God, then He will entrust to us true heavenly riches, our own possessions. Yes, if the money-obsessed person is obsessed with the way he manages this money. Knowing that it is not his money or possessions, that all belongs to God. And he is a faithful steward using it all shrewdly to bring glory to God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 6. Why are giving alms and tithing (or sacrificial, generous giving to God's work) so difficult for money-obsessed people? (Let's not debate tithing, but look to the heart issues instead that are the focus of Jesus' teaching here.) It is difficult because of their love for money, and the control money has over their life. I also doubt there is any love in their heart. They tend to be very self-centred, not having any compassion for those in need. They are tight fisted, money-obsessed, lonely, unhappy, and miserable people. They neglect spiritual things, and we might doubt whether they had ever been saved. There will the fear of meeting Jesus and giving an account of their stewardship.

hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 7. In what ways are we not property "owners" but property "stewards" of what God owns? What are the implications of this for our lives? The wealth of the world is His. There needs to be a different mindset. Instead of thinking it’s my money, my car, my house, my possessions – it is ALL MINE. We need to know it all belongs to God, His money, His car, His house, His possessions - it is all HIS. The implications for us are that since it is not ours, and we are only His stewards, there is a greater responsibility on us to manage His wealth with honesty, with truth, with wisdom, with integrity, with pure motives, with an attitude of worship to God, and with service to the body of Christ. Bringing glory to our Heavenly Father. To sum up, nothing that we possess on earth is our own, it is entrusted to us for temporary use (1 Chron 29:14), and we shall be rewarded by real and eternal possessions (1 Peter 1:4).

hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 8. Why is it so difficult to try to serve both God and Money? We have to make a choice, the one we choose will have priority in our live. Either we put God first and reject the rule of money, that is love the one and hate the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. 1 Tim 6:9-10 teaches us a lot about the many griefs and destruction that can occur when we choose money. There is no sin in being wealthy, but the desire to be rich leads us into temptation, and all sorts of trouble. This desire becomes a trap which we cannot easily escape. Besides when is enough, enough? Greed takes over. The result can be total destruction and the total ruin of happiness, of virtue, of reputation, and of the soul. 1 Tim 6:17 warns us, who are wealthy, not to put our hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put our hope in God. This is a false sense of security because of the “uncertainty of riches”. The only sure thing in this world of ours is the Word of God. Bishop J. C. Ryle summarizes: “Money, in truth, is one of the most unsatisfying of possessions. It takes away some cares, no doubt; but it brings with it quite as many cares as it takes away. There is trouble in the getting of it. There is anxiety in the keeping of it. There are temptations in the use of it. There is guilt in the abuse of it. There is sorrow in the losing of it. There is perplexity in the disposing of it. Two-thirds of all the strife’s, quarrels, and lawsuits in the world arise from one simple cause - money!”.

hanks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 9. Extra Credit: Jesus states that high human values tend to be the things most detestable to God. How can we know that we have really conformed our lives to God's values rather than just kidding ourselves? The warning signs are seeking the approval of others, instead of the approval of God. We are so self-righteous that we see no need for repentance and trust in Jesus for our salvation. Instead, we put our trust in our wealth. Using it to justify ourselves before others, and even buying ourselves positions of honour in the church. There is no love in our hearts, no love for others, only love for self. Our hearts are filled with pride and hypocrisy which God hates. We as true believers do not have to impress others with how spiritual we are – it should be visible to all. We live openly in the sight of God, seeking always to please Him. It is all about submitting ourselves to His authority and not to following a bunch of outward standards.

Old Jerry Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Why was the steward in Jesus' parable (16:1-8) being fired? What in the passage displays his character? A. The steward in Jesus’ parable was being fired for squandering the rich man’s money. The thing that displays his character was him calling in the debtors and telling them to change how much they owed the rich man. In what way did the steward use money to secure his future? A. He was securing his future by letting the debtors lower their bills. Then they would be indebted to him. What about the steward's actions does the master commend? What is the point that Jesus draws from this parable? A. The master commended the steward’s for being shrew with the worldly goods. Jesus’ point was if you cannot be trusted with little then you will not be able to be trusted with the Lord’s treasures. Extra Credit: In what ways should we use money to secure our eternal future? (16:9) (This is a difficult verse for most of us. Study the exposition for clues to the answer.) A. We are to help the poor in all that has been given us. This means our talents and our money. In what kinds of experiences does Jesus test and seek to mould our trustworthiness with money? Is it possible for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus? If not, how might this occur? A. I think that Jesus is always testing us. He will put a situation in front of us to and see what we will do. It would be hard for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus because they are always trying to hold onto their money and not giving to God’s causes. They would need to turn loose of their money. Why are giving alms and tithing (or sacrificial, generous giving to God's work) so difficult for money-obsessed people? (Let's not debate tithing, but look to the heart issues instead that are the focus of Jesus' teaching here.) A. They are more concerned with impressing the world with all the money they have and will not give any away. In what ways are we not property "owners" but property "stewards" of what God owns? What are the implications of this for our lives? A. God owns it all so all we can be is “stewards” of what God has lend to us. This means that we should be careful of how we take care of what God has given us. Why is it so difficult to try to serve both God and Money? A. God wants us to work on the programs that He has assigned us and as a rule that means spending money. To serve money is to try to hoard it and spend it on ourselves.

Katy Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Q1. The steward had squandered his masters wealth. He was not trustworthy and reliable. We see his true character when as a reaction to being let go from his job he immediately calls his masters debtors and instructs them to rewrite their bills and reduce the amount they own to his master. This action ensures that his masters income was reduced. Q2.By getting his masters debtors to write out reduced bills for themselves the dishonest steward was ensuring that he would be given hospitality in the debtors homes, because he would have no job and no income.

Katy Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Q3.The master commends the steward for the fact that he was shrewd. He used what was available to him to make sure his future was secure. Jesus makes the point that people of this world work harder and act more shrewdly to provide for themselves in this world than Christian act in laying up treasures in heaven. If we put as much effort into working for eternity as worldly people put into getting things in this world we would have treasures in abundance in heaven. Q4.If we love God we love the things of God and Jesus loved and helped the poor while here on earth, therefore we must do likewise. We can give to Christian charities that look after the poor. We can give our time in many ways to help the poor eg work in a food bank, work in a charity shop. Serve in a facility that provides meals for the poor. We can also discreetly give to individuals who are struggling. Q5.If we are careful about the small details of responsibilities we have, we learn to be trustworthy with bigger things. Likewise with money , we must be scruples about small amounts of money and we will learn to be trustworthy with larger amounts. Example of small things I sometimes encounter: not being charged for coffee at the end of a meal out, the waitress being most surprised when you draw her attention to the fact. Returning borrowed books, some people can be very lacks about this. If one is obsessed with money it takes one’s whole attention with no time for much else. So I think it is unlikely that they would become a committed disciple. However I am sure if they somehow realised that money was not so important and decided to give over some part of it to God they could become a committed Disciple. Nothing is impossible for God. Q6.If a person is money obsessed he is not committed to God. We are told that we cannot serve two masters, we will love one and hate the other. A money obsessed person will not understand or won’t want to understand why they should practise tithing. Because they have other things in mind to spend their money on. Q7.Everything we possess comes from God therefore we are stewards of all we have. They belong to God, and we need to use them carefully and in a God honouring way. Q8.”What is highly valued among men is detestable in Gods sight”. The desires of money possessed people are totally different from the desires of God. If we really were sincere about the things and ways of God we would be spending money to accomplish the things that God desires not buying bigger cars than we need, or spending lavish amounts of money on clothes and accessories. Q9. We can ask ourselves questions about what are the things that occupy our minds, how do we spend our time? What do we do in our spare time? Are we passionate about the things that Jesus was passionate about. These questions have to answered honestly. If we still are not sure we can ask a close Godly friend or mentor.

haar Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 1. Why was the steward in Jesus' parable (16:1-8) being fired? What in the passage displays his character? He was said to be wasting his master’s money. He proved this accusation right by cutting down his master’s accounts receivables from the customers so as to find favour from them. 2. In what way did the steward use money to secure his future? See b- part of Q1 please. 3. What about the steward's actions does the master commend? What is the point that Jesus draws from this parable? The master considered him as being shrewd. I personally have some challenge with his master’s description of the steward as being shrewd and also Jesus use of the steward’s craftiness because it is misleading to some of us. 4. Extra Credit: In what ways should we use money to secure our eternal future? (16:9) (This is a difficult verse for most of us. Study the exposition for clues to the answer.) This thinking is based on some scriptures that teach that giving to others especially the poor and needy is giving unto to God Who rewards the giver accordingly. 5. In what kinds of experiences does Jesus test and seek to mould our trustworthiness with money? Is it possible for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus? If not, how might this occur? We cannot be completely committed to God if we cannot commit our money to Him. Furthermore, when we allow money be our main focus and attention, we would have money our God. 6. Why are giving alms and tithing (or sacrificial, generous giving to God's work) so difficult for money-obsessed people? (Let's not debate tithing, but look to the heart issues instead that are the focus of Jesus' teaching here.) It is difficult to those who have not fully surrendered their lives to Christ. 7. In what ways are we not property "owners" but property "stewards" of what God owns? What are the implications of this for our lives? Everything we have belongs to God. It therefore means we are merely stewards taking care of God’s property and will give account of our stewardship one day. So help me to be a good and faithful steward Lord. 8. Why is it so difficult to try to serve both God and Money? One cannot serve two masters, one will be pleased and one left. Too much attention to money and money matters will lead to idolatry. This then makes God to abandon the idolater. 9. Extra Credit: Jesus states that high human values tend to be the things most detestable to God. How can we know that we have really conformed our lives to God's values rather than just kidding ourselves? From Pastor Raph's summary, we should ensure that: - We exhibit financial wisdom by using money for purposes that please God - Not allow money to become an idol and to remember that we steward of whatever we have as God is the owner. - We should be surrendered to and completely owned by God.

Godswriter Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 1. Why was the steward in Jesus' parable (16:1-8) being fired? What in the passage displays his character He was actually not doing his part to secure the money from any loans from his master's debtors. By being lazy about it he was found to be irresponsible. The fact He did everything last minute to save his butt. 2. In what way did the steward use money to secure his future? By having the ones in debt to write a debt off for less than the actual amount in the first place. He ensured that they would be in debt to his master for a longer time. 3. What about the steward's actions does the master commend? What is the point that Jesus draws from this parable? How he went about having the pay off the debt only partially. That we cannot serve God and monetary goods. We have to choose which one will be lord over us. 4. Extra Credit: In what ways should we use money to secure our eternal future? (16:9) (This is a difficult verse for most of us. Study the exposition for clues to the answer.) Learn to befriend those who are dishonest and learn from us the true value of honesty in issues in money. 5. In what kinds of experiences does Jesus test and seek to mold our trustworthiness with money? Is it possible for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus? If not, how might this occur? He will use everything in our lives to test and mold our character. From the smallest purchases to the very biggest purchases or how we pay our bills off. No as Jesus clearly states you will love one and hate the other or love one and despise the other. We choose to commit everything to Him including our money. 6. Why are giving alms and tithing (or sacrificial, generous giving to God's work) so difficult for money-obsessed people? (Let's not debate tithing, but look to the heart issues instead that are the focus of Jesus' teaching here.) They are so focused on getting more money that they don't realize that money will not get them into heaven. They are all focused on worldly things. 7. In what ways are we not property "owners" but property "stewards" of what God owns? What are the implications of this for our lives? As Scriptures clearly state that everything on the earth is the Lord's and even the creation itself. We cannot hold onto anything too tightly because we will end going backwards instead. 8. Why is it so difficult to try to serve both God and Money? Because once you are serving the money there is no way Christ can have control because you are worshiping an idol instead of Him. 9. Extra Credit: Jesus states that high human values tend to be the things most detestable to God. How can we know that we have really conformed our lives to God's values rather than just kidding ourselves? By daily checking out whether or not our priorities line up with His.

kreilly Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Why was the steward in Jesus' parable (16:1-8) being fired? What in the passage displays his character? In what way did the steward use money to secure his future? I really appreciate Godswriter's input to this question. It really opened my eyes to how the steward regarded his employer. He was lazy about collecting the master's debts which got him into trouble in the first place, then he dishonestly solved his situation by giving a break to his master's debtors. In every way, he showed more regard to everyone other than the master. Sometimes I think I treat God like that. If I'm honest, I take Him and all of the gifts he gives me for granted. I may be more concerned about what others think of me or trying to acquire things in this world than I am about doing His work and glorifying Him. God forgive me! What about the steward's actions does the master commend? What is the point that Jesus draws from this parable? The steward was commended for being shrewd. Hanks gave a very insightful answer to this question. We need to be as concerned and single-minded about building God's kingdom as the people of this world are about building their nest eggs and pursuing their personal dreams and goals. How often do I get distracted by the things of this world and get lazy about building the Kingdom? In what kinds of experiences does Jesus test and seek to mould our trustworthiness with money? Is it possible for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus? If not, how might this occur? I think money is very addictive. I do think it is possible for a money-obsessed person to become a committed disciple of Jesus. Just like any other addiction can be broken (drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.), addiction to money can be broken, as well. But it can only be truly broken if one surrender's one's life to Jesus and asks for his help to overcome minute by minute, day by day. Why are giving alms and tithing (or sacrificial, generous giving to God's work) so difficult for money-obsessed people? (Let's not debate tithing, but look to the heart issues instead that are the focus of Jesus' teaching here.) Why is it so difficult to try to serve both God and Money? It is not just difficult, it is impossible, Jesus makes that quite clear. We cannot serve both. It is one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
