“Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” 11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and…

The LifeSpring family had another amazing privilege of having one of our Board of Directors speak on Sunday. Mae-Tuin has been serving the LifeSpring family faithfully for many years in the children’s ministry and now as the secretary of the Board of Directors. I, Gabe, have personally had the privilege of journeying with Mae-Tuin in Lifegroup and in Lead Well. What I have seen is that Mae-Tuin is a woman who genuinely loves God, a heart that seeks Him, and…

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 As we continue to mature as a church family, I felt the Lord highlight that we need to be focused on who we are – who God has called us to be: Kingdom Family: Genuine Love for God & Genuine Care for Others Many of you have heard from others…

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4 This passage always bothered me. Though I read it with my eyes and brought it into my mind, it has always been a Scripture that never made sense to me. “Consider it PURE JOY… whenever you face trials…

LifeSpring is so blessed. Look no further than to our Sunday speaker, Peggy Leung, who sits on the Board of Directors at Toronto LifeSpring and alongside her husband, Raymond, leads one of our LifeGroups. I have had the privilege of knowing Ray & Peggy for 10+ years now and their lives cry out genuine love for God and genuine care for others. Peggy spoke on an extremely important topic that this world (and us) desperately needs. She spoke on peace.…

We want to appreciate all you mommys out there. Physical mamas, spiritual mamas, soon-to-be mamas, one day mamas – we want to appreciate every female at Lifespring. If I ask all the males why you appreciate the females in your life, they could list 1000 things! We want to appreciate all the things you do, but more importantly, we want to appreciate who God made you to be. The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to…

It is always fun for me to sit on the pew side whenever my wife speaks. I get to hear the same scenarios and situations that we both face, and I get to hear the perspective and what God is doing through those moments to my wife as He also works in me. What an amazing privilege to know and see that God works on both of us – love you Karyne. Life can be hard. And life is fast.…

We had the amazing privilege of having one of our newest elders, Rodney Lau, speak and lead the church family in a time of seeking, hearing, and praying to the Lord. It was such a unique Sunday where there was nothing traditional about it! God works in so many ways and the presence of the Lord was in our midst. As Rodney was leading, I was greatly encouraged. I looked out into the sanctuary and saw the people praying, weeping,…

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in…

I love grandparents. When they speak, they speak from a place of experience, from real life – not from a theory. John Tan shared that he and the others are like battle-scarred Christians. They live to share the testimony of what the Lord has done! As Uncle Perry was speaking yesterday, I felt the Lord highlight one of the keys to Patient Endurance: Scripture. All throughout Perry & Catherine’s life there have been trials and testing: In all these things,…

We had the amazing privilege to have Donna Parachin speak to the Lifespring family. It is hard to put into words what happens when she comes, but you just know God was there and we leave full and blessed by her and through her. If you have a chance, please watch the recording. As Donna was speaking, there was something I felt the Lord want to highlight for Lifespring. She shared that there is tremendous power in declarations, there is…

Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’” Mark 11:1-3 This has always been a strange passage to me. Jesus instructs his disciples to steal a colt. He instructs them…
