How would you like to be liberated and set free from the hold that money has on your life? Brian McLaren — speaker, activist, and bestselling author — explains how to make this happen in a sermon from Luke 16:1-13. McLaren explains that today’s parable is a continuation of the three from Luke 15, the lost sheep, lost coin and lost son. These next two parables begin… ”There was a rich man.” McLaren explains the historical and economic history surrounding the passage and how understanding this context helps make this parable much more accessible to us. He says, “This passage proclaims a kingdom of God that has an economic system… one in which everyone matters… Love God and you will see everything else in a new value system.” Listen and find out what this new value system is and how it can liberate you from the hold money might have on your life.
