It is always fun for me to sit on the pew side whenever my wife speaks. I get to hear the same scenarios and situations that we both face, and I get to hear the perspective and what God is doing through those moments to my wife as He also works in me. What an amazing privilege to know and see that God works on both of us – love you Karyne. Life can be hard. And life is fast.…

We had the amazing privilege of having one of our newest elders, Rodney Lau, speak and lead the church family in a time of seeking, hearing, and praying to the Lord. It was such a unique Sunday where there was nothing traditional about it! God works in so many ways and the presence of the Lord was in our midst. As Rodney was leading, I was greatly encouraged. I looked out into the sanctuary and saw the people praying, weeping,…

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in…

I love grandparents. When they speak, they speak from a place of experience, from real life – not from a theory. John Tan shared that he and the others are like battle-scarred Christians. They live to share the testimony of what the Lord has done! As Uncle Perry was speaking yesterday, I felt the Lord highlight one of the keys to Patient Endurance: Scripture. All throughout Perry & Catherine’s life there have been trials and testing: In all these things,…

We had the amazing privilege to have Donna Parachin speak to the Lifespring family. It is hard to put into words what happens when she comes, but you just know God was there and we leave full and blessed by her and through her. If you have a chance, please watch the recording. As Donna was speaking, there was something I felt the Lord want to highlight for Lifespring. She shared that there is tremendous power in declarations, there is…

Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’” Mark 11:1-3 This has always been a strange passage to me. Jesus instructs his disciples to steal a colt. He instructs them…

One of the greatest temptations this church will face is the challenge of complacency. We have seen the favour of God over this church family and our lives, and we are doing OK. But OK can be a dangerous place to be in. 17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No…

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!” Mark 1:35-37  The Scriptures reveal a glimpse into Jesus’ life. He was one that got up early to go and pray. It is interesting that Jesus spent much time in prayer in the morning and throughout…

The memory verse for the church family for the 1st quarter is: When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers… a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant — then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the…

As I was studying Matthew 26, I felt like the Lord was highlighting 2 important aspects of Patient Endurance. The context and setting of this chapter is dark and dreary. It is the moments leading up to Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion. It is the Last Supper and over and over again, Jesus is telling his disciples that his life would be forfeit and that there is a traitor amongst them. In the midst of this great challenge, what did Jesus…

When we talk about Kingdom Parenting we are trying to raise the huios (mature sons). Fully complete, lacking nothing. When we look at the ultimate mature son, Jesus Christ – we see a man who was raised and became a huios. He was one who did not just hear – He listened well and obeyed quickly. When we talk about Kingdom Parenting – it is not just biological children, it is the people God puts before us and care for.…

We had the wonderful privilege of having Pastor Alvin speak to the church family this past Sunday (watch it here). Pastor Alvin and Aunty Patricia continue to demonstrate to the Lifespring Family what it means to Genuinely Love God and Genuinely Care for Others – it was through their conviction that Lifespring was able to be a part of the Refugee Dinner hosted this past Saturday. This entire weekend I felt the Lord highlighting the word COMPASSION in my spirit. And as Pastor…
