I was recently watching some videos on the dismal state of the world, and it got me thinking about all that’s happening in the world and how it could affect my future. I started worrying and obsessing over it, and it honestly wasn’t good for my mental state. After forcing myself to stop trying to solve every problem out there and dwelling on hopelessness, I realized that in my moments of worry, it was purely me dwelling on the bad…

“There are different spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; and there are different ministries and the same Lord; and there are different activities but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good.” – 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 If the phrase “It’s in you to give” sounds familiar to you, that’s for a good reason. You can thank the Canadian Blood Services, who use that as…

Blessed is the one    who does not walk in step with the wickedor stand in the way that sinners take    or sit in the company of mockers,2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,    and who meditates on his law day and night.3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,    which yields its fruit in seasonand whose leaf does not wither—    whatever they do prospers. – Psalms 1:1-3 Blessings of Fruitfulness comes from being planted in the living waters of Jesus Christ. A close relationship with Jesus bears much fruits. …

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…

One of the things Uncle Perry touched on when he spoke last Sunday was the importance of reading and remaining in God’s Word. “Jesus answered, ‘It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” – Matthew 4:4/Deuteronomy 8:3. In this day and age, there are a million ways to consume the Word of God, whether that’s through audio Bible recordings, sermon recordings, devotions, podcasts, or audiobooks. While they can…

This past Sunday we had the amazing privilege of hearing a testimony from Alvin Koh, Steven Tse, and a message from our dear Grandpa Perry. Please take a moment to listen to them – you will be blessed! As Grandpa Perry was sharing his words of wisdom from his experience, I couldn’t help but think back of all the people that have made an impact in my own life. As a young man, I was trying to discover who I…

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…

Dear LifeSpring Family, Recently, I have been memorising and meditating on Zephaniah 3:17: “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” Zephaniah is a prophetic book in the Old Testament, composed during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. The prophet Zephaniah’s primary message is of judgement against sin and a promise of restoration for the faithful remnant of Israel. His prophecies emphasize the coming Day of the Lord, where God will…

This March is Grandparents month, and we want to celebrate everyone in our Grandparents generation who have been such a blessing to my generation and the generations to follow. To everyone in our Grandparents generation–we appreciate all that you’ve done and continue to do, and the important role you play in our lives and in the life of our church. Thank you! We were blessed to hear from Pastor Anita this week, who reminded us about the power of words.…

One of the many highlights from Volunteer Appreciation Day was hearing the testimonies from Jen, Steve and Ray Chow, Auntie Cheh Keat, and Pastor Alvin and Auntie Pat. Thank you all for sharing! One thing that stood out was when Pastor Alvin and Auntie Pat shared a quality of Uncle Eric and Auntie Angie,  described as “chin chye, biao kin” and “major the majors.” They explained this as not worrying or taking everything so seriously as well as not sweating the…

“Christ is just like the human body—a body is a unit and has many parts; and all the parts of the body are one body, even though there are many.” “But as it is, there are many parts but one body. So the eye can’t say to the hand, “I don’t need you,” or in turn, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” Instead, the parts of the body that people think are the weakest are…

To the Lifespring family – you are all amazing. From the pastoral team – we thank you and love you all so much. I wanted to simply give a short word of encouragement to this church family. Ever since Adrian and Pastor Alvin have showed us what it means to walk in transparency – revealing our weaknesses so that God can be glorified – it has truly been an amazing journey to see God work through the lives of the…
