Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 21:45. Sermon end time: 39:56.
Elaborating on the parable of three servants given talents to invest, the preacher argues that God wants us to take risks and invest in the Kingdom. Prudence may be a sign of lack-of-faith, which is not favored by God. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “Who is this master? Is he a hard-hearted, tough miser of a master, who expects to reap where he hasn’t even sown? Or is he an extravagant, reckless, wheeler-dealer, whose faith in his servants is exceeded only by his wild generosity?”
