As a new father I get to see life through a different set of eyes. One of the things that has caught my attention is when my daughter Maya enters a new room or meets a new person, she looks at Jen and myself. When she turns around to us it’s as if she is looking for our approval or more importantly looking to see whether she is safe or not. As soon as we give her a smile, she…

One of the gems I received from Siang Yang in his training on Saturday was the importance of growing in our vision of God. He shared that when we grow our vision of God, we will grow our faith. Increasing our faith is not about increasing ourselves or what we can do but rather, it is about increasing our vision of God and trusting in what He can do, so that He can move in us and through us. When…

Once I heard a pastor mention that “Jesus never met urgency with urgency.” He referred to the scripture in Mark 5:21-43 where Jesus was met by a synagogue teacher named Jairus whose daughter was dying. He pleaded for Jesus to come and heal him. So Jesus went with him.  The scriptures say that a large crowd followed him and people were crowding around him. This might suggest that Jesus wasn’t running or sprinting to go see Jairus’ daughter which you…

Today I would like to highlight a kingdom kidz holy moment. A moment set apart that displayed God’s grace and goodness. At Kingdom Kidz our Shepherd Amy was leading the kids in worship and MCing the lesson. Midway through the lesson the projector died. We asked the kids to get into their prayer postures and pray for the projector to work. Shepherd Amy rolled with the malfunction of the projector and began to give the kids a description of the…

My family and I have recently moved into a new home. We purchased the home in February with excitement in our hearts and in anticipation of all the fun memories that will be had. Little did we know that the next few months would include many challenges that come with purchasing a new home. We were placed in positions where things were out of our control and we had no choice but to either panic or increase our faith. If…

When we pray for God to “Increase Our Faith”, we often focus on the word increase. But God wanted me to look at the word OUR. There is a massive difference between a borrowed faith and a personal faith. A borrowed faith is when you believe because your parents do or because you grew up in a certain church. But a personal faith is forged when you start asking the hard questions, trying new things, and sharing what you believe.…

In March I had the opportunity to assist in the Kingdom Kids Nissi class. For those of you who don’t know, Nissi is Grades 1-2 class in Kingdom Kids. On this particular day, I got to assist Wes alongside Ben as he taught the class. If you ever want to see a man in his element or as Gabe might say “a fish in water” you should see Wes teach that class. It was like watching curling in the 2026…

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…

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…

In this season of life, I’ve been thinking more and more about children. Particularly, my daughter. What will her personality be like? Who will she look like? What will she enjoy doing?  I remember reading a quote that says, “While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” ― Angela Schwindt Perhaps I will soon experience this quote in a tangible way and know what it really means. Until then,…

On Sunday we got a chance to hear Abby speak about “Increasing Our Doubt.” Abby has always been unconventional when it comes to the status quo, but that’s why she sees what other people don’t and for that reason she brings a completely different perspective to our pastoral team. In this particular case, Abby talked about increasing our faith through the means of doubt. She shared that it actually takes more faith to believe in God when you have doubts…

When Ryan shared on Sunday that he and Theresa are considering fostering babies under the age of 1 years old from the hours of 5pm to 9am to provide temporary care, I thought two things: I have an infant under the age of 1 years old and she is at her peak fussiness after 5pm. They are typically cranky and want to sleep but don’t know how yet or at least that has been my experience. So, when Ryan and…
