"A Spiritual Wake-Up Call"

Sep 21, 2025  •  Rev. Charlie Holt

In this sermon from Luke 16:1–13, Rev. Charlie Holt unpacks Jesus’ parable of the dishonest manager, showing how God uses even worldly lessons to call us back to faithfulness. With humor, storytelling, and honest reflection, he challenges us to consider who—or what—we are truly serving. Wealth may provide security in the short term, but only God offers eternal life. Rev. Holt calls us to steward our time, talents, and treasure for God’s Kingdom, to repent of misplaced loyalties, and to embrace the Spirit-filled life. This is not just an accounting of money, but a call to surrender everything to Christ.

Scripture Reference: Luke 16:1–13


Key Themes: Stewardship, Wealth vs. God, Spiritual Wake-Up Call, Repentance, Spirit-Filled Life
