If you’ve been in LifeSpring long enough, you may be familiar with the saying “Blessed to be a Blessing.” At LifeSpring we believe that we are blessed to be a blessing. In other words, we have been blessed by God, so much so, that we can bless others and be a blessing to them.  The Lord reminded me that in order to be a blessing to others we must first recognize that we ourselves are blessed. Conceptually this makes total…

Don’t you hate it when the Sunday speaker seems to speak right into your heart? That’s exactly what Pastor Alvin did. If you haven’t gotten a chance to listen to his message or read his Monday devotional, please take the time to do so.  Pastor Alvin has once again given us a practical tool for learning how to live out a fruitful life. When I was going through the “Faith in Action!” exercise and saw “Action Step: When dealing with…

As I’ve been reflecting on my Christian walk with God I’ve realized something: God wants all of me. Now that might seem obvious to many, but you have to understand where I’m coming from. When I accepted Jesus into my life as my Lord and Saviour, no one told me that my life was going to change so drastically. They focused on all the positive outcomes but forgot to mention all the negative ones.  You might be wondering, what are some…

One of the things that stood out to me from Mary Cho’s message was her approach to teaching people how to make art. She felt like patience was what was needed as many of the people would finish their artwork really fast and expect it to be something of good quality. She reminded the people that if you want something of quality, it requires patience. This is true for many things in our lives. Some things that come to my…

One of the things that spoke to me from Andrea’s message was when she mentioned that Jesus had all the potential in the world to do whatever He wanted, yet He chose to do what God told Him to do.  Jesus ended up choosing purpose over potential. On the one hand Jesus was/is the son of God; the word made flesh, fully God and yet fully man. He had the potential to heal whoever He wanted to heal, perform whatever…

Have you ever rented a vehicle in a different country? If you have, you may have noticed that the radio came with a bunch of preset stations.  If you’re used to listening to Spotify or plugging in your device into an aux cord, then this may come as a surprise to you.  Depending on who drove the car last, or what the dealership presets, each vehicle has been programmed to specific radio stations. For most people, this isn’t a problem,…

Rather than give you a synopsis of my message on Sunday, I’d like to invite you into the process that brought about the conception of this message. On May 4th, 2025 Gabe spoke on Seeds. He mentioned that some of the keys to bearing fruit are:  For more context, watch the sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/e6TICp9m06U?si=IQsWHQ0mgf2kZZ4_ Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you about which one of these “needs of a seed” sticks out to you. If one or more catches your…

In the world of mental health, self-care is vital to the wellbeing of an individual. Self-care can be defined as the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health. Self-care involves exploring one’s mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions in order to find out where adjustments and improvements need to be made in their life.  Some self-care practices for mental health include regular exercise, eating healthy, prioritizing sleep and relaxing activities, practicing gratitude and staying connected…

Ryan’s message on Sunday offered us an example of what it may look like being a part of God’s plans. Using the analogy of a tapestry, he explained how each string was woven into a cloth to make for a unique design and big picture. We often get to marvel at the intricate designs and pictures of tapestries that people have created, but we rarely get to witness the process. I would imagine that it would be challenging and take…

On Sunday, I was encouraged by the testimony of Albert Tai in how he did the right thing and followed his convictions. I’m sure that we can think of many times in our lives where we accidentally did something or made a mistake and could easily “get away with it” or sweep it under the rug and no one would know. But Albert demonstrated the costs it sometimes takes to live a life of fruitfulness. Although it cost Albert $600…

I’d like to re-introduce to you one of the most rare and uncommon ancient practices that may drastically improve your life – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. Some of you might have heard of it before and for others it may be a new concept. As the title suggests, I am referring to the practice of meditating on the scripture. Perry’s message on Sunday offered us insight in the power of meditating on the scripture. He gave us four…

In my previous career as an educational assistant, I had the opportunity to visit different schools and work with a variety of children in different grades as well as working alongside many different teachers. One of the most impactful teachers I got to work with was a gym teacher in an elementary school. I was working in a grade 1 class at the time and he was their gym teacher. What made him stand out to me was his approach…
