In addition, I preached from Luke 16 on "Be Wise With Your Cash."  Here are the main points I shared:

Be Wise With Your Cash (Lk. 16:1-15) 1. Invest funds generously for kingdom purposes (v. 9) a) the command b) the means c) the result

2. Handle money faithfully in the here and now (vv. 10-12) a) How we handle a bit of money displays how we’ll handle a bunch (v. 10) b) How we manage our cash shows if we’ll receive eternal life (v. 11) c) How we care for his wealth determines if we’ll get an inheritance (v. 12)

3. Fight aggressively against worshiping money (v. 13) a) Money can be a powerful idol b) God demands exclusive worship
