The Parables Part 11: The Rich man and Lazarus
The point of this parable isn’t about the descriptions of the Rich Man or of Lazarus. It is to look at where the roots of your heart truly lie. Are the roots of our lives drawing from the spiritual well of God’s concern and compassion, which brings comfort in a world of pain?

The Parables Part 10: The Shrewed Steward
Jesus pulls together two characters: 1. Worldly people working for more money for the good of the community and 2. Those who engage in religious isolation who aren’t contributing anything to those around them. Use our resources, but don’t be mastered by them; use them to honor the Master.
