Luke 16.1-13Proclaim afresh - Week 3 of 4
Four weeks in which we find the ancient message of the Scriptures proclaimed afresh in Luke’s Gospel and made relevant for our life today.
Perplexing
Today’s parable is perplexing and complicated but it ends with Jesus’ simple message that we cannot serve both God and wealth.
This week's reading, Luke 16.1-13, provides an opportunity to:
- ? acknowledge Luke’s reference to the Jewish Scriptures (AAA & CYP)
- ? challenge assumptions about the way we read parables (AAA & CYP)
- ? identify the complexity of this parable and the complexity of the world (AAA & CYP)
- ? think about our attitudes to wealth and the interdependence of our actions. (AAA & CYP)
These resources were first published in 2013.
