I Was Wrong // FEAR-LESS (Part 3) // Charles Metcalf

Main message: Fear makes you falsely certain about things you cannot know—people, your path, and your perspective—and you should be willing to admit "I was wrong" because God can redeem hardship and reshape your story (illustrated by Joseph's life).

Key points:

• The most dangerous thing about fear is that it creates certainty where there is none; that certainty often costs you what it promises to protect.
• Fear will have you make wrong judgments about people—inventing stories instead of seeking truth and relationship.
• Fear will mislead you about your path (expecting a neat, linear plan) and cause you to negotiate or settle for lesser outcomes.
• Fear distorts perspective—assigning meaning to events that may be part of God's process to shape you (Joseph’s pit → prison → palace).
• God’s sovereignty can turn intended harm into good; your gift and calling remain valid even in dark seasons. The sermon ended with an appeal to admit being wrong about Jesus and receive his grace.
