You Are Not Unqualified You're Afraid || The Blueprint with Dr. Dharius Daniels

Main message: The sermon teaches that believers are not necessarily unqualified for their assignment; often the real issue is fear, especially timidity that keeps them from using the gifts God has already given them. Paul’s words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1 are used to show that God supplies power, love, and a sound mind so we can fan into flame our gifts and live boldly.

Key points:

• Faith means acting like God is telling the truth, not only trusting Him in crisis.
• Believers are called to be salt and light in the world, not limited to church spaces.
• Spiritual gifts can go dormant if fear governs how they are used.
• Paul’s encouragement to Timothy is to fan into flame the gift of God already in him.
• Fear can show up as timidity, fear of error, fear of embarrassment, and fear of expectations.
• God gives power, love, and self-discipline to overcome fear and serve with courage.
