Our Generous God, September 22 Worship

Some of the parable stories that Jesus tells are so rich with meaning they can apply to many things. Jesus tells us a story about a master who has a reputation for generosity. When his unjust steward discounts everyone’s bills, he doesn’t assert his legal right to reverse the steward’s actions; instead, he stays consistent with his reputation and generously forgives the debts. As we rejoice in the generosity of God we also hear another layer to Jesus’ story. God calls us to use wisely and well whatever He entrusts to us. Today and for eternity we get to celebrate our generous God.
