Waiting, at times, can be one of the most frustrating and difficult assignments. Waiting for the small things – food that is late, service that is slow, people being late for a meeting – these often bring up moments of frustration! Waiting for the big things – waiting for a prodigal to return, waiting for a loved one to experience and receive the Love of God, waiting for our desires – trust can be a difficult assignment. No matter where…

I believe we have all come to know that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God. We know that it is the first and greatest commandment, yet how we do so is oftentimes the biggest challenge. As Paul once said it so eloquently, “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak”. Yesterday, Karyne spoke and shared how God has been teaching her how to love Him with her Mind, Body, and Spirit. Take a look at…

Yesterday we concluded our mini series on humility. We looked at what Godly Humility is and we explored why the Bible tells us we need Humility. But most importantly, we looked at how we can Humble Ourselves. Go through the following 4 steps in learning how to grow in humility. It will take time, self reflection, and the power of the Holy Spirit. It will be difficult at times – but Lifespring, I ask that we Make Every Effort. First: we…

We can all agree that humility is something we all need. Yet, humility is something we often misunderstand. Much like character, humility is not something that we simply have – it is to be fought for, it is to be worked on. As a church family we want to Make Every Effort to grow in humility. Take a look at the key points in yesterday’s sermon. Did any resonate in your spirit? Did any cause a conviction? Ask God to…

Last week during intercession, Peggy Leung led us in a time of prayer – asking God how we respond to social injustice. It seems like everyday there is a new scandal and something that is unjust. Whether it was the Black Lives Matter (BLM), Anti-Asian Hate (AAH), Systemic Abuse (SA), etc. – everyday there is something to be concerned about. As we sought the Lord on how to respond to these situations the Lord began to challenge me. He poked…

This world is in need of Kindness. Simple acts in the hands of a powerful God can make great and lasting impact. Last year, Lifespring sowed $20,000 into the Greece refugee camps through Operation Mobilization. Please take time to read the fruit of this act of kindness. If you are strong at this time – carry another. If you are weak at this time – its ok – ask for help. But in everything, be kind.

2020 & 2021 FinancesGod is so good. In the midst of a pandemic year our tithes increased! We felt the Lord leading us to GIVE, before the pandemic. In being obedient no matter the circumstance, Lifespring gave a record ~40% of all spending was through our Missions & Hope ministries. We continue to focus on being a blessing in 2021. If you would like detailed documents of the 2020 & 2021 financial statements, please feel free to email gabe@life-spring.org and…

Having Donna come speak to the Lifespring family is always such a blessing. There are so many “nuggets” of gold (words of wisdom) as she speaks and in doing so we will all be encouraged and challenged in some way. As Donna was sharing yesterday, I felt the Holy Spirit focus my attention on what I believe God wants to build up in the house of Lifespring. In 2019 – Wanda Foss helped to put words into what we already…

This week during intercession, I had a vision that resonated deep in my spirit, something that I believe is a correction from the Lord and something I believe we as a family need to take heed. Months back, I felt like God had put a bubble of protection around the Lifespring family. Like in the days of Egypt, though the plagues ravaged the land and Egyptians, the people of Israel were protected. By the grace of God, Lifespring has been…

Yesterday we continued the series on Growing in the Fear of the Lord. We looked at WHO is expected to fear the Lord. Nations are Expected to Fear the LordGod loves nations so much that He is willing to correct them when they are on the wrong path. He does so, not heavy handed, but progressively and with patience. He will send prophets to warn of dangers ahead and He will even send natural and economic disasters to get our…

As Lifespring journeys in maturity, we will begin to learn and experience aspects of God that are sometimes new or uncomfortable. The fear of the Lord is one of those things. As a church family we have been entrenched and inundated with the Father’s Heart – thank God for that! But I believe as we continue to mature, we need to know, understand, and apply a Godly fear of the Lord in this house. What is the Fear of the Lord? First: It…

Acts 6:1-5In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full…
