Excuses, excuses....

Jesus told a parable about how invitees to a banquet offered lame excuses about why they couldn't attend.  "I just bought some new property."  "I just bought some livestock."  "My wife requires my attention."  You get the idea; one excuse is as good as another when trying to avoid some sort of responsibility.  
This sermon is about what following Christ looks like.  Luke 14:16-24.

Who Is A Faithful Steward

Taken from Luke 12:41-26, this is the Parable of the Unrighteous Steward.  In this parable, Jesus tells about a servant that is given charge of the operations of the landowner's property during the landowner's absence.  According to Jesus, the servant assumed he had plenty of time to do what he wanted in his Master's absence, so he mistreated the other servants and didn't take care of business.  The master returns to bring retribution on the lazy servant.
Jesus' point?  At all times live in a prepared way.
