For February 8 - Rev. Dr. Trevor Brisbin
Topic: "The Gods of Our Storms"
Scripture Reading: Mark 4:35–41 (NIV)
We’ve all been through storms in life - moments when it feels the world is raging against us. If you’re anything like me, you’ve whispered pleas to God to calm the storm, and bring smoother sailing - yet the storm raged on. What are we to make of Jesus calming this storm, while so many other storms torment our world?
About our speaker: Rev. Trevor is the minister of St. Stephen’s on-the-Hill United Church in Mississauga. He lives in Bloor West Village with his wife, Marisol, their three kids, and their beloved bernadoodle, Millie.
