Kindness
This world is in need of Kindness. Simple acts in the hands of a powerful God can make great and lasting impact. Last year, Lifespring sowed $20,000 into the Greece refugee camps through Operation Mobilization. Please take time to read the fruit of this act of kindness. If you are strong at this time – carry another. If you are weak at this time – its ok – ask for help. But in everything, be kind.
Annual Family Meeting (AFM)
2020 & 2021 FinancesGod is so good. In the midst of a pandemic year our tithes increased! We felt the Lord leading us to GIVE, before the pandemic. In being obedient no matter the circumstance, Lifespring gave a record ~40% of all spending was through our Missions & Hope ministries. We continue to focus on being a blessing in 2021. If you would like detailed documents of the 2020 & 2021 financial statements, please feel free to email gabe@life-spring.org and…
Kingdom Family: Genuine Love for God, Genuine Care for Others
Having Donna come speak to the Lifespring family is always such a blessing. There are so many “nuggets” of gold (words of wisdom) as she speaks and in doing so we will all be encouraged and challenged in some way. As Donna was sharing yesterday, I felt the Holy Spirit focus my attention on what I believe God wants to build up in the house of Lifespring. In 2019 – Wanda Foss helped to put words into what we already…
Grow in Empathy
This week during intercession, I had a vision that resonated deep in my spirit, something that I believe is a correction from the Lord and something I believe we as a family need to take heed. Months back, I felt like God had put a bubble of protection around the Lifespring family. Like in the days of Egypt, though the plagues ravaged the land and Egyptians, the people of Israel were protected. By the grace of God, Lifespring has been…
Grow in the Fear of the Lord – Part 2
Yesterday we continued the series on Growing in the Fear of the Lord. We looked at WHO is expected to fear the Lord. Nations are Expected to Fear the LordGod loves nations so much that He is willing to correct them when they are on the wrong path. He does so, not heavy handed, but progressively and with patience. He will send prophets to warn of dangers ahead and He will even send natural and economic disasters to get our…
Grow in the Fear of the Lord
As Lifespring journeys in maturity, we will begin to learn and experience aspects of God that are sometimes new or uncomfortable. The fear of the Lord is one of those things. As a church family we have been entrenched and inundated with the Father’s Heart – thank God for that! But I believe as we continue to mature, we need to know, understand, and apply a Godly fear of the Lord in this house. What is the Fear of the Lord? First: It…
Walk Away or Make A Way
Acts 6:1-5In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full…
How to Persevere
The last 2 weeks we have talked Why we need to persevere and How to Persevere. The emphasis in both is that maturity requires perseverance. The calling God has for the house of Lifespring requires perseverance. Let us keep our eyes on Jesus and run the race… all the way until the end. Consider the cloud of witnessesSometimes we take privilege and spit on it. We need to recognize that we have truly been blessed. When much is given, much…
2020 Year in Review
At the start of 2020 we sought the Lord and felt Him put on our hearts the 3 Gs. Give, Go, Grow. As a church we set our plans in alignment with these directions and God directed our steps along the way. Corporately as a church family we wanted to be intentional about the 3 Gs. God was speaking to us and it was our job to follow his guidance. However, like the people of Israel who had to paint…
Merry Christmas!
Christmas has always been my favourite day and time of the year. Who doesn’t love coming together with loved ones, sharing gifts, eating food, playing games, and all the memories we create laughing with one another. I’ve always known Christmas as the time we celebrate Jesus’ birthday, but admittedly, with all the lights, food, and fun the focus really has not been on Jesus. We celebrate Him by saying a prayer before eating – but once that is done… Christmas…
