Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with a parable of stewardship.

As we pick up in Luke, chapter 16 16 verse one and now with today's message

here's pastor chuck Jesus speaks on two unpleasant subjects to a lot of people not unpleasant to me

but to a lot of people talks about hell that's not unpleasant to me, but to a lot of people. Talks about hell, that's not

unpleasant to me. Not worried about it at all. Now Jesus is at a supper with the Pharisees.

It's on the Sabbath day.

And this particular section that we are now in is still in that supper that Jesus was invited to beginning the 14th chapter, where the Pharisees invited him to the house, set him up with a fellow with a

dropsy, and so this whole interchange of thought and all is going on there.

At times he is addressing the Pharisees, at times he is addressing his disciples.

And at this point, beginning of the 16th chapter, he is now addressing his disciples. And at this point, beginning of the 16th chapter,

he is now addressing his disciples. And so he said also unto his disciples, there was a certain

rich man which had a steward, and the same was accused unto him that he wasted his goods.

And he called him and said unto him,

How is it that I hear this of thee?

Give an account of thy stewardship, for you may no longer be steward.
