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…

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…

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…

Over the past 2 years, God has been taking us on the following journey: 2019: Intimacy (3 Ps – Prayer (Persona), Prayer (Corporate), Prayer (Earnest)) 2020: Maturity (3 Gs – Give, Go, Grow) As we look to 2021, this is what we felt the Lord put on our hearts. 2021: Make Every Effort God continues to call the Lifespring family to be the Huios (mature sons). We have seen tremendous victories in hearing God and growth in the spirit. But…

Day after day you can read about people in the world who fall to the temptations of Money, Sex, & Power. But before we cast judgment on others, we need to be humble enough to recognize that we (the church) are also susceptible and at times look no different than the world outside. Here at Lifespring we are called to be the Huios (mature sons) and as we mature we need to vigorously contend to be part of the solution…

Sometimes God asks us to go to the ends of the earth, sometimes He asks us to serve, sometimes He wants us to lay our lives down. Sometimes God wants us to be still… and to pray. Last week I was reminded of how the Israelites were protected in a time of plagues. Though there was hail, locusts, blood, and even first born deaths – Israel was protected. It was not because Israel planned or prepared correctly – it was…

This past Sunday we continued our series on suffering. Below are 4 additional purposes in suffering – its not a formula – but sometimes God needs to get our attention or adjust our character for the assignment he truly has for us. Take a moment and read through the 4 purposes. Just prayerfully ask the Lord to speak to you as you read it – to grab your spirit’s attention if He wants to speak to you through it. Purpose…

Lifespring is called to be the Huios (mature sons) and in a Kingdom Family. As we pursue the purposes God has has for our individual lives and the church family, something we will not be able to avoid is suffering and trials. Jesus, who was the example of the huios suffered much. He felt hungry, was anxious, oppressed… yet He was found to have no sin. Jesus shows us how the mature son is to align and endure suffering when…

This past Sunday we continued our series on Living Generously. Whenever I think of generosity I always think of finances – but there is so much more than just finances! TIMENot everyone will have $, but everyone is given time. We must look at our lives and ask God if we are stewarding the time He has given us to the best of our ability. Sometimes it is clear when our time is being robbed (aimless social media, facebook, etc.)…

This year God has been pushing us to focus on Maturity. We felt that the Lord will help us to track our growth by the 3 Gs (Give, Go, Grow). Yesterday as we talked about Living Generously – we tackled why Living Generously is important Motivations for Living Generously Experiencing God’s love and generosity in our own livesWhen we experience the love, generosity, grace, compassion, … of God, we can’t help but share that love with others. Something so good…

Jeremiah 32:38-41 38 They will be my people, and I will be their God. 39 I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. 40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me. 41 I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this…
