In this sermon, Pastor Bob discusses one of Jesus' parables, "The Dishonest Manager," highlighting its counterintuitive nature where a dishonest figure is actually commended for his shrewdness in using worldly wealth. By examining this parable, Pastor Bob connects it to John Wesley's first rule for the use of money: "earn all you can." The sermon emphasizes that Christians should use their wealth not for personal gain or hoarding, as exemplified by the barn builder, but to foster relationships and enhance the reputation of God. The message is clear: wealth should be seen as a tool for good, and one's financial activities should reflect faithfulness and an eternal perspective. Pastor Bob further elaborates that earning money is not inherently wrong, but it must not come at the expense of one's health, conscience, or neighbors. Instead, individuals should strive to engage in honest industry, using their vocation as a vocation for Christ. The sermon offers practical wisdom from Wesley, reminding listeners of the importance of cultivating common sense in financial affairs while ultimately using wealth to serve others and build relationships. Pastor Bob concludes with real-life examples that illustrate these principles in action, encouraging the congregation to reflect on how they manage their resources and reminding them that, in the end, all material possessions will fade away.
