In Deuteronomy 21-22, Moses delivers laws concerning family and community behavior. These laws address complex issues like the treatment of captives, the responsibilities towards the firstborn, and protocols for dealing with unsolved murders and various violations of marital and societal norms. As these guidelines set forth challenging moral decisions, one must ponder: How will the Israelites uphold these laws amid the temptations and trials of the Promised Land?

In Luke 16:1-18, Jesus tells the parable of the dishonest manager, who shrewdly reduces the debts of his master's debtors to secure his own future after being fired. Jesus uses this story to discuss the prudent use of worldly wealth to gain friends and the importance of being trustworthy in small matters to be trusted with greater things. Will the listeners grasp the deeper lesson about eternal values over worldly gain?
