In this week’s Gospel passage, Jesus gives a challenging parable about a dishonest steward that continues and deepens His teaching on the cost and value of discipleship and the Kingdom of God. In this lesson, students will examine the response of the dishonest steward to his master’s displeasure in him and then develop ways in which they can give of their own time, talent, and treasure to helping the various communities in their lives.
A. Have students read the Gospel passage, or read it aloud to your students, and then answer the focus questions. You may have students answer them on their own or you may discuss them together as a class.
B. Have your students read and complete the “How Can You Be Generous with What God has Given You?” activity.
C. When complete, call on students to share their answers. Keep a master list on the board of ways that your students can help others in the various communities they belong to. Challenge your students to act upon these ideas throughout the school year.
