Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Romans 10:17 The Scripture teaches us that as sheep we are able to hear God’s voice. This means that He is already speaking, but the recognition of His voice is what takes time and relationship. This past weekend, a few of the LifeSpring families went to Blue Mountain. As we watched the children run around and play, I saw little Zeke up in one…

How do we live by faith? The truth of the matter is, if you have received Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour – you are already living by faith. By faith we accept the Lord (miracle of salvation). By faith we go into glory (eternal life). Living by faith is not something you can see or feel. When we live by faith, there is expectation and hope but oftentimes we cannot see the supernatural, we cannot always see what…

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the TESTING of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4 One of the deceptions that the enemy has convinced us of is that trials is the result of sin. When things are not going the way we think they should be going, we automatically think that…

Keeping one’s faith can be difficult. Believing in the unseen, believing in goodness in the midst of darkness. It is hard to keep your faith. It is especially difficult when we don’t see things happen the way we expect things to happen. Faith dwindles because it seems our prayers are unanswered. Strong faith becomes questionable faith, small becomes little faith, and if we are not careful, we can even lose our faith. How then do we hold onto faith? How…

Something that has been stuck on me the past couple of weeks is the idea that we can move from Fear to Faith. These words have sat in my spirit, and I have been reminded of so many times in my life where faith has replaced fear. Most people, including myself, can be afraid and weary of the new. New circumstances, new surroundings, new experiences all come with a degree of uncertainty. In fact, the older I get, the more I…

For those of you who joined us at the Family Weekend, I believe you now understand why I wrote my grade 8 assignment – the most interesting person you know – on Stephen Hawkins. I chose to write this paper when I was 13 years old. That was 28 years ago and I could write a new paper on him today. For LifeSpring, it felt like he was the right person, for the right time. A man that would encourage…

We had the wonderful privilege of hearing from a Board of Director and LifeGroup leader, Peggy Leung. Ray & Peggy have been part of the LifeSpring family for 15 years now and I remember the first day they walked into the basement of the church for an Overflow LifeGroup. They came broken and it was the love and grace of God that encountered them. The Holy Spirit met them, worked in them, transformed them, and even to this day continues to…

We had a wonderful privilege of hearing from Mae-Tuin Seto. Mae-Tuin shared that in her time of serving the LifeSpring family, God has been faithful. From little steps of obedience, to breakthrough moments, God has been doing more than she could have ever asked or imagined. As Mae-Tuin was sharing, the Lord impressed upon my heart her real, raw, and transparent feelings. Mae-Tuin shared pictures and moments of tremendous victories. We see young people while they were just toddlers, becoming…

We had a wonderful privilege of hearing from the Amecet team this past Sunday. As the LifeSpring family we count it a privilege to partner with Amecet and to be a part of what God is doing in and through them. The message contains sensitive material, so the recording is not posted publicly. If you would like to get a recording of the message, please contact a member of the pastoral team directly. As the team was speaking the Lord…

Every year we are required by law to have an Annual General Meeting (AGM). It is a necessary gathering to inform the church of the numbers, budgets, metrics, and overall analysis of the church. And although it may seem like nuisance at times, it has become a forced reminder for the church family to review God’s faithfulness! We can even see the growth and evolution of the church family. This was Josh Siu’s first time presenting the data as the…

Here at LifeSpring, we want to appreciate all the fathers out there. Physical, spiritual, soon-to-be, one day fathers–we want to appreciate every male in this house. I speak on behalf of my family and as a dad to this church: I love you guys. I am proud of you guys. You guys are good. We have amazing men in this church. We have had the blessing of encountering the Father’s heart and it is on full display as the love…

Another Sunday with the privilege to hear from Dr. Siang Yang. The more time I spend with Siang Yang the more I recognize that he truly loves God and relies on Him and he deeply cares and loves the Lifespring family. He shared with me that his assignment at this point in his life is to help young pastors (Gabe), counsellors (Andrew), and academics (Ryan) in their journey with the Lord. He is doing so for the Lifespring family. Siang…
