shrewd

/SHroÍžod/

adjective

having or showing sharp powers of judgment; astute.

Did you know that Jesus calls us to be shrewd?  We are supposed to use the gifts that He's given us, supposed to be creative. The good news about this?  He has equipped us to do so, and He is with us as we try.  This is the subject of the parable Pastor Tim Delkeskamp looks at in this sermon at Ascension Lutheran Church in Thousand Oaks, Californioa. Known as one of the strangest of Jesus' parables, the parable of the shrewd manager is, says Pastor Tim, "also one of the most delightful ones, too." Listen and see what the Holy Spirit does!
