The
pace of Jesus' teachings picks up as he travels his road to Jerusalem.
Luke presents a rapid-fire series of encounters and parables in the
middle chapters of his Gospel. Collectively, these help to explain the
nature of God, of God's Kingdom, of Jesus' role as the Messiah, and our role as
Christ's disciples.
This week's lesson focuses on a series of teachings directly applicable to the challenges of affluent, "First World", 21st century, American life. How do we live in the world but not be of the world? How can we be stewards of wealth, influence, and opportunity in ways that are pleasing to God? What does faith require of our time, our talent, and our treasure?
