This week, Elder Phil Brown challenges us to reflect on what we’re doing with the gifts God has given us.

Are we sowing seeds of faith, or are we burying our talents out of fear?

Drawing from Jesus’ words in John 12 and the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, we’re reminded that:

Sowing requires faith, but burying often comes from fear.
We are all made in the image of God, and that means we are made with creativity.
There may be hidden treasure in you that God is calling you to uncover—songs, books, ideas waiting to be released.

Phil encourages us to think about areas like songwriting, storytelling, and creativity that may have been buried for too long.

In this heartfelt message, Tim Brown challenges us to rethink how we view God—not just as a provider, healer, or savior, but as our loving Father. Drawing from personal stories, biblical truth, and the parable of the prodigal son, Tim explores how our interpretation of God shapes our relationship with Him and transforms our prayer life. Discover the freedom of knowing God for who He is, not just what He does.

This week, Guest Speaker Brendan Vink shares a personal and practical message based on the story in Mark 4:35–41, where Jesus calms the wind and waves.

Drawing from 27 years of following Jesus, Brendan offers three key tips for facing the storms of life. He shares real moments from his own journey—early-morning wake-ups, parenting challenges, and stressful days—to show how God meets us right in the middle of our mess.

You’ll be reminded that:

• Jesus is in your boat, even when the waves feel overwhelming
• Faith is stronger than fear
• Breakthrough often comes just after the storm

This message is for anyone walking through something tough, looking for peace, or needing encouragement to keep going.

We pray it blesses you today.
