In the Parable of the Shrewd Manager Jesus draws a positive truth from a negative example and reminds us about the need for both foresight about the future and faithfulness in the present. This sermon illuminates this surprising and often misunderstood parable from Luke 16 and shows how we can use our money in the present in such a way that it wins us eternal friends and makes an eternal impact in heaven.
What do you think of when you hear the word "stewardship"? This sermon, delivered in two parts, firstly defines stewardship and then goes on to specifically show what the fact that God owns it all means for how we handle our money. You will gain fresh insights into the power of biblical principles such as tithing and also the need to be the best steward you can be of everything that God has entrusted to you.

Does God want every believer healthy and wealthy? This message offers a passionate, biblical critique of the central claims of the popular modern-day prosperity preachers and shows that, however one tries to clothe the prosperity gospel in biblical garb, it is totally irreconcilable with the true gospel of Jesus Christ and also detrimental to one's walk with God. Though some settle for less and pursue the short-lived earthly idols of health and wealth, Jesus has something far better to offer us - and in all things anyway, He is enough!
It is not uncommon to find people who profess Christ as Lord and agree that the Bible is the Word of God yet who don’t live out the implications of this in their day to day lives, not least when it comes to money; their actions show that they are trusting money, not God. This sermon brings a balanced, biblical perspective on money; whilst it is not wrong to have money, it is wrong for money to have you. Listen and learn how to stay free of the influence of Mammon - a demonic spirit that can attach itself to money - and how to walk in God's plan of financial freedom.
Stewardship is one of the greatest themes of the Bible. The sooner we surrender ownership and take on faithful stewardship the happier we will be. This sermon, which appeals to our attitude to money as the case study, will challenge you to think about what you’ve been doing with what you’ve been given and to live in such a way that Jesus really is the Lord of your life.
