Shrewd manager - Luke 16:1-13

NOTES ON THE SCRIPTURES
Speaking of bible study, here are some short notes on this week's scriptures.

Jeremiah 8:18-9:1 - Jeremiah cries out and weeps for the pain and destruction of his people as the siege of Jerusalem begins. 
​
Psalm 79:1-9 - This psalm is a communal lament over the destruction of Jerusalem.

1 Timothy 2:1-7 - Paul provides direction for what should be included in the “prayers of the people” and in what order. The people's ministry of prayer joins the ongoing priestly ministry of Jesus as mediator and participates in the will of God that all should be saved.


Luke 16:1-13 - Jesus praises a shrewd steward and commends his disciples to follow his example.
