In this powerful message, Pastor challenges believers to stop burying their God-given talents and start using them boldly for His kingdom. Drawing from Matthew 25:14-30 (The Parable of the Talents) and reflecting on recent events including the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, this sermon confronts Christians who live in fear and calls them to be salt and light in a world that increasingly hates the truth.Key Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30 (The Parable of the Talents)Supporting Scriptures:Ephesians 6:10-18 (Armor of God)John 15:18-19 (The world will hate you)Matthew 10:22 (Hated for His name's sake)Acts 5:40-41 (Apostles rejoiced in persecution)Acts 7:51-60 (Stephen's martyrdom)Matthew 5:10-12 (Blessed are the persecuted)
