Luke – Chapter 16, Verses 14-18

The overarching theme of Chapter 16 appears to be “money” — the Pharisees love it —- which according to Jesus means that they hate God and are in danger of spending eternity in Hell (Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus).  So why then does Luke include these seemingly unrelated passages regarding “Law and Kingdom” and “Divorce and Remarriage?”  Is there a connection to the money theme?  If so, what?
