Godly Humility
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…
And then they waited…
This week in Kidz Harbour, I was telling everyone about Pentecost Sunday! About how, kinda like Christmas and Easter, there’s another really important day that we get to celebrate… an important day we need to remember! We talked about how strange it was that Jesus said he would be with his friends F O R E V E R and then he disappeared into the clouds! But of course, that’s not where the story ended. Because Jesus had also told…
Voicing complaints and God hears/sees
Dear LifeSpring Family, Hide Me from the WickedTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.64 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, 3 who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, 4 shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. 5 They hold fast to their evil purpose;…
Grow In Humility
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…
Flowing Out as a Life Spring
Last Sunday, I had the chance to do a missions update about some of the organizations we’re supporting through our COVID-19 and missions budgets. OM works with the refugee community in Greece providing food, masks, carpets, and care packages for those who have had to flee their home countries. YWAM is working in Mumbai among the homeless and slum communities, providing ambulance services and groceries during the peak of the COVID crisis. Relentless Worship Ministry is providing food weekly to…
Genuine Care for Others
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…
A Prayer For Mothers
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my mother, it’s that prayer is very important. As a church we’ve talked about Personal Prayer, Corporate Prayer and Earnest Prayer being areas of prayer that we grow in intimacy with the Father. We want to exercise these prayer muscles today and take some time to pray for all the Mothers all over the world. Let us never forget the efforts Mothers make in the seen and unseen that have such a huge…
Marked by Love
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.Live in…
” … our eyes are on you.” – 2 Chronicles 20:12b
Dear LifeSpring Family, What a timely and truthful reminder from Mr. Eric Wee this past Sunday. His sermon entitled “MEE2MEE” challenged me on what my “eyes” are choosing to focus on. Immediately after Eric finished preaching God’s word, I thanked him for his focus on our Lord Jesus Christ in his message. That the vertical is always longer than the horizontal at the cross our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. That my investment into my relationship with Jesus should require…
MEE2MEE
For me the cross of Jesus always reminds me of the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:37-39. The vertical represents our relationship with GOD and the horizontal represents our relationship with others. This is also in line with our call as a Kingdom Family: Genuine Love for God and Genuine Love for Others. But first the message of the Cross is JESUS. He was crucified and now the empty Cross shows us that HE is Risen. 18 For the message of the…
Listen Well. Obey Quickly.
A couple of weeks ago, while Gabe was speaking he said something that caught my attention and got me thinking. Gabe was talking about how he wants to make sure that he’s hearing God as well as he can, and being obedient to God as quickly as he can. This week at intercession, pastor Alvin was also sharing about the city-wide prayer meeting he’s organizing. He mentioned that a word that was given to him was, “listen well, obey quickly.”…
Fasting in May
As lockdowns and pandemic uncertainties persist, we are choosing to respond with prayer and with fasting… Even though things have been incredibly difficult, many of us have been very fortunate. Rather than ignoring the problems that continue around us or hiding away from the realities, we are choosing to engage by bringing our requests, and the needs of those around us, before the Lord in prayer. Join us as we fast and pray for the end of Covid-19 during the…
