THANKSGIVING ROOTED IN CHRIST!

Luke 16:1-13 presents the parable of the shrewd manager, where Jesus teaches a valuable lesson about being faithful and wise stewards of what we have been entrusted with. The manager acts shrewdly to secure his future by wisely using his master's resources when faced with a crisis.

Luke 15:1-11 shares with us the parable of the lost sheep, where Jesus illustrates the great love and care that God has for each of us.
