What an amazing way to close Grandparents’ Month by listening to our one and only Patricia Koh. Auntie Pat has walked on her faith journey and has seen God’s faithfulness in the good times and bad. She encourages us to press in and to not hold back. Pressing in today means new wineskin for tomorrow. As Auntie Pat was sharing about LifeSpring’s journey of encountering the Holy Spirit, I couldn’t help but remember a funny Malaysian guy named Joe Chong.…

Many years ago, Theresa and I had an opportunity to see the Giant Sequoia trees in Yosemite Park. The fact that “giant” is included in the name is no joke! Many of these trees are hundreds of feet tall, and some are so thick they’ve carved a tunnel through the trunk so cars can drive right through. During Pastor Alvin’s message on Sunday, he mentioned these giant redwoods. Something interesting he said is that while these trees are massive, they actually have a surprisingly…

It was encouraging to see LifeSpring surround and pray for a member of the church family during our Sunday service who was going through a difficult time in their life, because it directly reflects who we are as a church. LifeSpring is blessed to be a blessing and seeks to have genuine love for God and genuine care for others in the good and the bad. Though it wasn’t a normal occurrence in our service, how the church family chose…

For Grandparents’ Month, we had the privilege of hearing from a literal and spiritual grandfather of the LifeSpring house, none other than Pastor Alvin. Pastor Alvin spoke, sharing his testimonies, wisdom and glory to God for all His faithfulness over the years. Thank you Pastor Alvin, as you continue to run the race of faith, it inspires us to run alongside you! As Pastor Alvin was sharing (listen to his message here), he shared a picture. It was taken in…

In February, I had a chance to speak at our West-End Campus: Mississauga LifeSpring Christian Fellowship (MLCF). It is always refreshing to get a chance to experience a Sunday Service at MLCF. Before I got up to preach my message, I heard 2-3 testimonies of God’s goodness and what He had been doing in the lives of the people at MLCF. When I heard these testimonies from the pulpit, I couldn’t help but think about how encouraging it is to…

So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.” The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” Luke 17:3-5 On January 18, 2026, Gabe came to speak at MLCF to present LifeSpring’s 2026 Purpose – Increase Our Faith. At first, he was talking about MLCF being the most…

Have you had a chance to visit our Mississauga location? If you haven’t, please make it a point to go visit them! I can guarantee that you will be blessed. MLCF is a house of blessings. Every month, we send a pastoral team member to speak at MLCF and every time they report in, they are often well fed and glad that they went. MLCF is built around the faithful. In fact, two of the founders of LifeSpring call MLCF…

One thing Pastor Anita spoke on earlier in February was that in increasing our faith, there will be tests and challenges because God is looking for someone He can trust. God has certain assignments for us to do, and He gives us grace to do them, but there are criteria; and thus, testing for it. You can watch her full message here. You might have felt it already; this year is starting to feel less like an increase in faith…

Happy Grandparents month! In the month of March, we take the opportunity to honour all our LifeSpringers from the grandparent’s generation. LifeSpring first started meeting in 1981 and was planted by the grandparent’s generation. Today, we are blessed to have a church with many generations, from great-grandparents all the way down to infants. Personally, the grandparent generation has been a tremendous blessing to me in so many ways, starting with my own parents. Thank you grandparent generation for all that you’ve…

“Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw…

For most people, refinement is not a practice one chooses to participate in willfully. However, it is necessary for our spiritual development, especially in this season of “Increasing Our Faith.” The idea of increasing our faith suggests that our previous levels of faith will not suffice in this season. It infers a change in our beliefs and trust in God needs to happen. Refinement is one of the means in which we can change our beliefs and learn to trust…

To start off Grandparents Month we had “G-Ma” Donna come and speak to the church family. Donna has journeyed with us from long ago and has seen us grow and mature in the things of God. We thank God for Donna as she has been instrumental in helping us hear God – listen well, obey quickly. As Donna spoke, she once again brought a presence and depth that to be totally honest, I am still wrapping my head around. Please…
