This week as I was reading the word, I came across a verse in Romans 3:17(NLT) that said “They don’t know where to find peace.” As I sat there asking myself, where do you find peace? I was reminded of something Donna said last Sunday. She talked about Naioth – the dwelling place – a place of refuge, safety and comfort for Samuel and David. I believe that when we search for peace we will find it in the dwelling…

As the Pastoral Team finishes reading Pastor Perry Soh’s Book Season’s of Change, I can’t help but reflect on the season of change that is happening around us. This book is not only topical for the season we are in but I believe it will help prepare us for what God has in store for us in 2021. As a Christmas gift from the Church we have blessed its members with a copy of the book, which I encourage everyone…

As I was reflecting on the past weekend, God showed me a bigger picture of what was going on in the World and in Lifespring. You see Lifespring has adopted a pattern of behaviour, when the world is in crisis, WE go to God in prayer and ASK HIM how to respond. A prime example of this was when we sowed into Compassion Canada Uganda ($6,000) & Operation Mobilization Greece ($10,000). The world was in crisis and the team responded…

2 Peter 1:5-11(NIV) 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness;…

Scripture: Hebrews 11 (NIV)  As I spent my time reading Hebrews 11, titled “Faith in Action,” I was inspired by the many acts of faith and with the help of the Holy Spirit I was able to extract some “gems” of faith. I’d like to share these “gems” that stood out to me and hopefully they will help you in your faith journey. Let’s start with what faith is: In Hebrews 11:1 it says, “Now faith is confidence in what…

I hope you all had a wonderful time with your family during the Thanksgiving weekend. If you missed Sunday’s message you can find it on youtube:  October 11 – https://youtu.be/XXdHmTs1k-4 After hearing the message about thanksgiving, I hope you would include these in your thoughts of Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving is a sign of Maturity Read Job 1 – Pay attention to his response to God  Thanksgiving is a weapon Read 2 Chronicles 20:15-22 – Notice how the battle was won, not…

1 Timothy 1: 18-20 (NLT) Timothy’s Responsibility 18 Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles. 19 Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. 20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are two examples. I threw them out and handed them over to Satan…

2 Corinthians 12: 1-10 (NIV)Paul’s Vision and His Thorn 1I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the…

1 Corinthians 13:1-31 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor…

1 Corinthians 2: 1-5 (NLT) Paul’s Message of WisdomWhen I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan.[b] 2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. 4 And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches,…

Romans 2: 17-29The Jews and the Law17 You who call yourselves Jews are relying on God’s law, and you boast about your special relationship with him. 18 You know what he wants; you know what is right because you have been taught his law. 19 You are convinced that you are a guide for the blind and a light for people who are lost in darkness. 20 You think you can instruct the ignorant and teach children the ways of…

Acts 18 – Paul Meets Priscilla and Aquila in Corinth18 Then Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.[a] 2 There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome. 3 Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers[b] just as he was. 4 Each Sabbath found Paul at the synagogue, trying to convince the…
