I remember the first time I ever heard the voice of God. It was a Friday night and Overflow (youth group) met in the church basement to do something called intercession. Ryan was singing and we simply sat asking the Lord what to pray for or sang along in worship. I had no idea how or what to pray for – but I enjoyed worship, I enjoyed His presence, and I enjoyed the friends around me. In the midst of…

Yesterday, we had the privilege of hearing our Elder, Jonathan Koh, speak about the challenges of being in the world, but not of the world.  There is truly a struggle in the world today figuring out “who am I”? As Jon transparently shared yesterday, one of his greatest struggles was figuring out if he identified as Singaporean or Canadian. Since he spent part of his life in Singapore and part of his life in Canada, he felt like he didn’t fit it…

Yesterday we had the privilege of hearing Mae-Tuin’s journey of growing in God. Through the highs and lows, through the unknowns and the challenges, through it all – the Seto family came out the other side closer to God. Jesus says in John 16:33, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” There is an age old question – “If God is so loving, why do bad things happen”? This is a real…

Hebrews 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please God… What is Faith?  Kingdom Faith is hope and assurance that something will happen, though we cannot see it. Kingdom Faith is trusting the one making the promise Kingdom Faith comes from hearing God Kingdom Faith demands obedience Kingdom Faith ventures out though it cannot see Kingdom faith knows that prayer is essential Kingdom faith submits in obedience Kingdom faith pleases God Personally, faith was always just a big word Christians…

What is Faith? It is a term we use in our walk with the Lord, we know that it is important… but do we actually know what Kingdom Faith means? Hebrews 11:6Without faith it is impossible to please God… As a church family – in our call to maturity – it will be impossible without Faith! We must throw off wrong understanding and begin to know and recognize true Kingdom Faith. This week we will explore some misconceptions and next…

There was a place in the times of David called Naioth. It was home to prophets and prophets in training. The literal meaning of Naioth is God’s dwelling. David was a man whom God loved, yet David was a man who faced great trials throughout his entire life. He was rejected as a youth, was a victim of attempted murder in his adult years, and even a victim of adultery in his senior years. Yet the bible says that David…

Yesterday capped off three amazing women from the Lifespring family. Karyne spoke on Making Every Effort to Love God, Leona spoke on Waiting, and finally Rebecca spoke on Making Every Effort to Praise God. Psalm 145:1-2I will exalt you, my God the King;I will praise your name for ever and ever.Every day I will praise youand extol your name for ever and ever As Rebecca taught us yesterday, praise is not a feeling, it is a choice. As David teaches…

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…
