IRS EIN # 82-5114777 The sermon centers on the biblical concept of stewardship, using the parable of the unrighteous steward in Luke 16 to illustrate the urgent need for faithful management of God's resources—both material and spiritual. It contrasts the shrewdness of worldly leaders, who prioritize self-interest and corrupt alliances, with the moral responsibility of believers, who are called to be faithful stewards of truth, time, and wealth for the sake of eternal purposes. Drawing from Scripture, especially Matthew 5–6 and the teachings of Jesus on loyalty to God over mammon, the message warns against spiritual complacency and the dangers of serving both God and money, emphasizing that true righteousness is demonstrated in integrity, not in worldly success. The preacher calls the church to accountability, urging believers to use their influence and resources to advance the kingdom, even in a culture marked by corruption and moral compromise, and to prepare for eternity by faithfully proclaiming the truth, regardless of cost.
