Today's sermon looks at a controversial scripture (Luke 16:1-13) where Jesus instructs us to 'make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth' among other things. Needless to say, the parable is ripe with conflict. Life is ripe with conflict. Most of us do it poorly... I cringe at the ways I could have handled past disagreements differently. The Rich Man in today's parable models for us a shift in behavioural response that serves to guide disagreement towards mutual benefit.
