Worries Of This Life
As we have learned and continue to learn, one of the main killers of fruitfulness is the “worries of this life”. It is what Jesus calls one of the “thorns” in the parable of the seeds and a thorn that causes growing and mature seeds to become fruitless. As the family of Lifespring, we recognize that God is asking us to not just be mature, but to be fruitful. Therefore, we need to be on guard to fight against anything…

Extraordinary
We had the amazing privilege to hear from Aunty Patricia Koh this past Sunday. She spoke on the story of Esther and how God uses the ordinary to do the extraordinary. There were so many gems that Aunty Patricia gave us and amazing lessons – but I want to share a testimony that highlighted what she spoke on. After our Sunday celebration, we had a leadership meeting upstairs in the fireside room. In the middle of the meeting, a gentleman…

Fresh Breath
We had an amazing privilege to hear from Gma Donna this past Sunday. As always, she brought so much depth that it will take time to unpack all that she brought to the Lifespring family. One of the gems that jumped out to me was she recognized a spirit that is working against the saints worldwide. Similar to how Jesus was able to recognize spirits and deal with them directly, Donna’s travels and discernment have helped her recognize spirits that…

Role Models
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…

Volunteer Appreciation
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…

Purpose 2025: Fruitfulness (Lifespring Family – Missions & Hope)
On September 12, 2021 a group from GAIN Canada came and spoke about raising funds for water wells around the world. They flashed a slide that went by quite quickly, but there was a slide that God highlighted to me and disturbed me for weeks. The following information was on that slide: Life is lost because of a lack of water. There are people all around the world who are desperate for water. I was reading 2 Corinthians 1 at…

Deceitfulness Of Wealth
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…

Purpose 2025: Fruitfulness (Lifespring Family – Part 3)
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…

Patient Endurance – End Of Year
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…

Purpose 2025: Fruitfulness (LifeSpring Family – Part 2)
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…

Purpose 2025: Fruitfulness (Lifespring Family – Part 1)
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…

Purpose 2025: Fruitfulness (Pulpit 2025)
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…
