To study Luke 16 in a group
1. What it says
In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, how did each of them live, and how does Abraham answer the rich man when he asks for help? (vv. 19-31)
2. What it means
Jesus says no one can serve two masters, God and wealth (v. 13). What does he show through the story of the manager? (vv. 1-12)
