Summary
This week, guest teacher Luke LeFevre continued our FREED series with a sermon on fear, exploring how fear can quietly lead us into self-preservation rather than faithful stewardship. Drawing from Matthew 25, Luke unpacked Jesus' parable of the talents, challenged the comparison that keeps many of us from embracing our God-given assignment, and called us to live with an eternal perspective. The invitation was simple but costly: freedom from fear is not waiting until fear disappears, but choosing to trust and obey Jesus anyway.

| 1:00.4 | because it's his clock service. I often joke about the revival Avengers. If you've seen |

| 1:29.7 | property. To one he gave five talents to another two, to another one, to each according to his |
| 1:36.6 | ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with |
| 1:43.5 | them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them and he made five talents more so also he |
