Can You See It?
To start off Grandparents Month we had “G-Ma” Donna come and speak to the church family. Donna has journeyed with us from long ago and has seen us grow and mature in the things of God. We thank God for Donna as she has been instrumental in helping us hear God – listen well, obey quickly. As Donna spoke, she once again brought a presence and depth that to be totally honest, I am still wrapping my head around. Please…
Volunteer Appreciation 2026
We want to honor all of the LifeSpring family. The pastoral team is so blessed to be surrounded by a family that genuinely loves God and genuinely cares for others – including us. I want you to know that we feel loved; you care when we hurt, you think of our families, and you genuinely care for others. Please don’t ever take this for granted – people here are genuinely looking out for one another. Whether physically, spiritually, emotionally –…
Increase Our Faith – Tithing
We are so blessed to have Rodney, an elder, share with us his own personal journey and conviction about how he and his family approach tithing. Jerry says this often, “Money makes people funny.” And although it is a comical saying, it is unfortunate that we often see that this is true. When Karyne and I went to Israel years ago, they told us that Jerusalem was divided into four different quadrants; Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Armenian. They told us that…
Increase Our Faith – LifeSpring Family
In 2026, everything we do will be surrounded by our theme of Increase Our Faith. We must always be aware of what God is doing. In trying to plan an entire year in advance, the Lord convicted me from Revelations 22. It describes, The river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. The Lord asked me, “Was the river…
Increase Our Faith – Pulpit 2026
Everything we do this year will be surrounded by the theme of Increase Our Faith. When we look at the word church, the word the Scripture uses is Ekklesia; which means the called-out ones. We often associate the church with a place or a building, this understanding often creates the thought that one must GO to church. The idea is that one must move locations to find and be in the presence of God. Here at LifeSpring, we recognize that…
Holy of Holies
My family and I had the privilege of going to Singapore & Malaysia with the grandparents, and we were able to see our family’s history and how they lived. I saw Nancy’s (my mother-in-law’s) family home and the treacherous journey she would take everyday to get to school. It was a little town, which meant that 50 years ago it was a little village. I asked one of the uncles what they did for fun as kids, and he told…
Purpose 2026 – Increase Our Faith
Kingdom Family – Genuine Love for God and Genuine Care of Others As a leadership team, we have sought the Lord and felt God put on our heart a cry to “Increase Our Faith”. We believe that God has worked mightily in our midst and that it is time to increase our faith, take that which is so good, and seek God on where and how to give it to the world. In LifeSpring’s journey of maturity and fruitfulness, the…
Being Present in the Present
We had the privilege of having Samuel Lai, deacon of Wildfire, speak to our church family this past Sunday. Sam taught about being present in the present. We often look back and long for ‘the good old days’ or we look to the future in hopes of better days. But in doing so, we miss the blessings right in front of us. For anyone who has a teenage child and up, we can all truly relate. Every time I see…
Baby Dedication
Children are a gift from God. As Kingdom citizens, we are called to recognize that children belong to Him. Parents are given the amazing responsibility of caring for this gift, but also the wonderful privilege of enjoying the gift. Because children belong to God and are given by grace as gifts to parents, it is only proper that children be dedicated back to Him. Baby dedication is very interesting. The focus is on the children, yet all the work and…
The Ten Commandments
Thank you, Mr. Soon for speaking and sharing with the LifeSpring family. You always serve the family in so many ways, it was an honor to be able to hear your heart and how the Lord is working in your own life. As Mr. Soon was speaking, I just felt the Lord say, “This is my son.” To be a good father, one must learn to be a son, and Mr. Soon is a good father. As Mr. Soon was…
Conviction
We had the amazing privilege to hear a testimony from Mae-Tuin. Mae-Tuin has been in so many ministries, we need to find new ones to put her in! As she shared her stories of challenge and how God was breaking through, it was encouraging to see that in the midst of uncertainty, Mae-Tuin would find Jesus. As she shared, the Lord was highlighting the idea of conviction. It seems like every testimony starts with challenge, yet it declares and proclaims…
Fruitfulness: Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a powerful Kingdom key. Thankfulness is a gateway to the presence of God. Even the word “praise” can be translated as “thanks to God”. We can use the word praise or thanksgiving interchangeably. Therefore, thanksgiving is not something that is simply a good act, it is essential in our journey of maturity and fruitfulness. We want to mature in our journey of thanksgiving. We want to move from being thankful (singular moments) to being people who at the…
