Rich Young Ruler 17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’” 20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all…

Two of the major highlights every year are our Family Weekend (Aug 2-4, 2025) & our Family Gatherings (joint service with MLCF) that happen throughout the year. As we grow in Fruitfulness, we must always tie it back to who we are – a Kingdom Family: Genuine Love for God & Genuine Care for Others. This year, we will continue to build on these through Family Weekend and the Hospitality Team. Family Weekend The Family Weekend is always a highlight…

As we close 2024, we close the season of Patient Endurance and look to a season of Fruitfulness. Although fruitfulness seems like a much more ‘happy’ alignment, we must recognize that new seasons come with new challenges. When Karyne planted her garden, there was much patient endurance waiting for seeds to grow fruitful. It seemed like all that was happening was vines and leaves. But, one day, out came fruit! Karyne was growing mini eggplants and as soon as these…

As we continue to explore what Kingdom Fruitfulness is about in 2025, we can see that God has truly blessed the Lifespring family with many children and young adults. They are such a precious gift. They are seeds that need to be nurtured and cared for so that they too can be fruitful for His Name’s Sake. Kingdom Kids In 2023/2024 we had 53 children register. That is about 40% of the church! Personally, I have been the children’s pastor…

It is always difficult to try to make plans in advance. With a rapidly moving schedule and so many unknowns – how does one know which path to take. In trying to do so, the Lord brought me to 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…

In our Lifespring journey of discovering what Kingdom Fruitfulness is all about, a conviction that the Lord put on my heart is to know what we are planting. Fruitfulness: Know what we are planting – a mango tree needs to know it is a mango! How do we as a church family continue to push forward and advance while also caring for those who are stumbling? In Exodus 14 it is the story of the Israelites being pursued by the…

As a leadership team, we have sought the Lord and felt God put “fruitfulness” on our heart for 2025. We believe that God has been refining, pruning, maturing us for this very reason – fruitfulness. In 2020, the theme for Lifespring was maturity. The Lord was calling us to develop and grow in our relationship with the Lord and in our character: God is asking this house, this family, to grow in our character – to focus on our maturity. To…

In 2012, the Lord put business in Karyne’s and my heart. I was about to complete my Master of Theological Studies and begin a career path as a pastor. But the Lord started putting business on our hearts! I was so confused. How could the Lord call me to ministry and call me to start a business? It didn’t make sense. But as we sought the Lord, as we sought council, and as we wrestled with these ideas, one thing…

This week I have come face to face with the realities of how fragile a family can be and how quickly everything can be taken away. In a circumstance where a family has gone through infidelity (no, you don’t know them), everything that was so good fell apart in an instance. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.” – Genesis 1:28 God’s assignment to man was to be…

The Lord has been wrestling with my understanding of patient endurance. I naturally understood progression to be an increase in patience and an ability to have greater endurance. This seemed to be the most logical progression in growing in patient endurance. But as I was spending time with the Lord, I felt the Lord highlight that though physical outcomes are great – He is really after our hearts. As I continued to press into what He was saying, I felt…

This past Sunday, Andrew led us in creating the Winter Care Packages. He had so many gems, so please take a moment to listen to it here. As I listened to Andrew speak on seeds, watering, and God causing it to grow, I was reminded of a video I watched this week: The monkey ladder experiment. It is quite a silly video, but it hammers in a point. It shows how the actions and teachings of the 1st few (seed planters) can…

It is October 2024. At the beginning of the year, we felt the Lord guide the Lifespring Family towards Patient Endurance. Just over 10 months in, am I more patient? Can I endure more? I don’t know. I still feel weak, I still feel broken at times, and I still ask, “have I/we made any progress?” Yet, in God’s goodness, I felt God say, “that is exactly where I want you to be.” One of the challenges the Lord has been putting…
