Monday—What did you think when you first read or heard this passage? What should you not copy from the shrewd manager? What is the one thing he did that is admirable?

Tuesday—Why were the pharisees so upset when Jesus confronted their love of money? Do you ever get frustrated with the way the Bible talks about money?

Wednesday—How did Jesus model right priorities? What drove him to forgo earthly riches and comfort?

Thursday—What does God mean that how you handle the small things will be how you handle the big things? Why does he talk about loyalty when he addresses money?
