What If You Are Wasting What God Gave You? | Luke 16:1-9 | Pastor Damon L. Smith, MD

ARE YOU WASTING WHAT GOD GAVE YOU? What if the problem isn’t that you don’t have enough, but that you haven’t fully recognized the value of what you already have? In Luke 16:1–9, Jesus shares an unusual parable about a dishonest manager whose actions reveal a powerful lesson about stewardship, accountability, wisdom, and urgency. In this thought-provoking teaching, we explore why believers must move beyond good intentions and learn to exercise wisdom, recognize opportunities, confront uncomfortable truths, and faithfully manage what God has entrusted to them. In this message, you’ll discover: Why stewardship requires accountability How fear, pride, and comfort can limit your growth Why faith and strategic thinking belong together How to recognize and exercise God-given authority Why urgency matters when opportunities are before you How to use temporary resources with eternal purpose You don’t always need more resources. Sometimes you need a different perspective on what you already have. Whether you’re navigating career decisions, financial pressures, personal growth, or your spiritual journey, this message will challenge you to examine how you’re managing your time, talents, relationships, and opportunities. 📖 Scripture: Luke 16:1–9 📍 Freedom House | Authentic Freedom.
