One of the most misunderstood parables in the Bible is the story of the Shrewd Manager (also known as the Unjust Steward). In Luke 16, Jesus highlights a clever manager who strategically uses worldly wealth to secure his future.

While Jesus isn't commending his dishonesty, He is challenging the "children of light" to be just as intentional with eternal riches as the world is with temporary resources. In this powerful message from Freedom Church Raleigh, we break down:

- What it means to serve God instead of money.

- How being faithful in the "little things" prepares us for true spiritual riches.

- How to leverage your time, talent, and treasures for the Kingdom of God.

If you’ve ever wondered how to align your daily finances and resources with God's ultimate purpose, this message will give you practical, biblical insight into true Christian stewardship.
