What if the harvest you're believing God for is connected to the seeds you're sowing today?

In this powerful and faith-building message, Ps André Olivier unpacks one of the most important biblical principles for living a life of faith, generosity and blessing: the principle of sowing and reaping.

Drawing from Galatians 6:7–9, Ps André reminds us that what we sow matters. Our choices, attitudes, actions and generosity all have an impact on what we reap. God's Word encourages us not to grow weary in doing good, because in due season we will reap a harvest if we don't give up.

Through practical biblical teaching, personal testimonies and inspiring examples, Ps André shares four powerful principles:

1. Sow Expecting Multiplication

God doesn't simply want to get resources to us; He wants to get resources through us. When we sow generously, we can trust God to provide and multiply what we have so that we can continue being a blessing to others.

2. Sow in the Tough Times

Generosity isn't only for seasons of abundance. Even when circumstances are challenging, we can choose to trust God, remain faithful and continue sowing. Faith doesn't wait for perfect conditions.

3. Sow to the Weak

True generosity looks beyond our own needs. When we give to those who are struggling, support those in need and invest in God's Kingdom, we demonstrate His heart for people. What we do for others never goes unnoticed by God.

4. Sow in Full Expectation

We can live with confident expectation in God's faithfulness. His provision doesn't always come in the ways we imagine. Sometimes it's supernatural favour, unexpected opportunities, daily provision, wisdom or a divine turnaround.

The big takeaway: "If you don't like the crop you are reaping, check the seed you are sowing."

Whatever season you find yourself in, don't stop sowing, don't stop trusting and don't give up on the harvest God has promised.

Keep sowing. Keep believing. Keep your faith for more!

What does it mean to put God first?

In this message from the Entrusted series, we explore the power and purpose of giving God the “firsts” of our lives — our time, attention, priorities, finances, decisions, and gifts.

Discover how putting God first is ultimately an issue of trust and lordship, and learn a practical framework for becoming a person who consistently honors God: Frame it, Intend it, Rhythm it, Safeguard it, and Train it.

Through Scripture and the inspiring story of Olympic athlete and missionary Eric Liddell, this message challenges us to move beyond good intentions and build a life where God truly has first place.

A powerful reminder that when we give God our first, we learn to trust Him with the rest.

Whether you’re struggling with regret over wasted time, battling distractions, or simply wanting to make your moments count, this message offers hope, practical wisdom, and a reminder that God is a redeeming God.

Entrusted: Financial Resource — Priority Before Prosperity

What does it mean to be entrusted with financial resource, and how can we steward our money in a way that honours God?

In this message, we explore three biblical principles for managing money wisely: putting God first, creating financial margin, and living generously. We look at practical ways to avoid unnecessary debt, increase income, save for the future, analyse our spending, and develop a lifestyle of generosity.

The central challenge is simple: Are we treating money as something to store, or as a resource entrusted to us so that it can flow through us?

Discover why priority must come before prosperity, why margin matters, and how God can use our finances as part of a bigger purpose. This message is both practical financial wisdom and a spiritual invitation to surrender every area of our lives—including our money—to God.

“Earn all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can.”

What does it mean to be entrusted with something valuable? To be entrusted means to receive something with the expectation that we will care for it, use it wisely, protect it, and remain faithful with it.

In this message, Ps. Candice Chicken launches the Entrusted sermon series by challenging us to recognize the incredible gift and responsibility we have been given: God’s Word.

For many believers, the Bible is easily accessible. We can own multiple copies, read it on our phones, and access Scripture whenever we want. But with that access comes a question: Are we truly stewarding God’s Word well?

Ps. Candice reminds us that the Bible is not simply a book to own—it is God-breathed, alive, powerful, and able to transform the way we live.

In This Message

Ps. Candice explores three powerful pictures of what God’s Word is and what it does in our lives:

1. The Word of God Is a Mirror

God’s Word reveals us to ourselves. It exposes our fears, doubts, unbelief, and sin—but it also reveals who we are in Christ and who we are becoming.

2. The Word of God Is a Lamp

Scripture gives us direction for our everyday lives. It may not show us the entire road ahead, but it gives us the light we need for our next faithful step.

3. The Word of God Is a Sword

The Word of God is our spiritual weapon and protection. When we know, memorize, meditate on, and speak Scripture, we can use God’s truth when facing fear, temptation, worry, and difficult circumstances.

How Do We Steward God’s Word?

Ps. Candice encourages us to:

• Read Scripture daily
• Study God's Word
• Meditate on it
• Memorize Scripture
• Put God's Word into practice
• Obey what Scripture teaches
• Ask the Holy Spirit to make God's Word come alive in us

You don't have to read the entire Bible at once. Start small. Read a few verses each day, ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you, and make God's Word a daily habit.

If you're new to reading the Bible, Ps. Candice recommends starting with the Gospel of Luke to discover more about the life and ministry of Jesus.

Key Scriptures

• 1 Corinthians 4:2 — Those entrusted with something must prove faithful.
• 2 Timothy 3:16–17 — All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching and equipping us.
• Hebrews 4:12 — The Word of God is alive and powerful.
• James 1:22–25 — God's Word is like a mirror and calls us to obedience.
• Psalm 119:105 — God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
• Ephesians 6:17 — The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit.
• Joshua 1:8 — We are called to continually study, meditate on, and obey God's Word.

A Challenge for This Week

Take some time this week to ask yourself:

What am I doing with the Word of God that has been entrusted to me?

If your Bible has been sitting on a shelf, pick it up again.

If your Bible reading has become routine or dry, ask the Holy Spirit to bring fresh hunger and life to your time in Scripture.

If you've never developed a habit of reading the Bible, start today—even if it's just a few verses.

God has entrusted us with His Word. Will we value it, live by it, and faithfully steward it?

And ultimately, the question isn't only “What will you do with God's Word?” but “What will you do with Jesus?”

Jesus invites us to entrust our lives to Him. He died for our sins, rose again, and offers forgiveness and new life.

Key Takeaway

We have been entrusted with God's Word. It is alive, powerful, and valuable. When we read it, it reveals us, directs us, and protects us. Our responsibility is to faithfully steward what God has placed in our hands.
