Can I ask another favor? First of all, thanks to everyone who made the shift this weekend! The Saturday service was larger and 8:30 am on Sunday was slammed. That’s great news, but isn’t it funny how every time we make the shift people come out of the woodwork like they were hiding there all the […]
READ MOREWow! This was one of the record crowds we’ve ever seen at Southbrook church! God is really bringing folks our way and we want to be good stewards of each precious life we have the opportunity to influence. That’s what a church with, “it” is all about! On a sad note, some families had to […]
READ MOREHi gang! With the back to school folks showing up in droves (what exactly is a drove anyway?) we all need to make a shift. There are a couple of places that have some room and a couple of places that really, really don’t. DO Saturday Evening @ 6:30 Sunday morning @ 8:30 Sunday morning […]
READ MOREThis was one of Alex Langley’s favorite songs, “Come to Jesus.” in the last verse they change come to Jesus to, “Fly to Jesus.” Tonight we said, “Goodbye for now, sweet Alex.” I say, ‘for now’ because we know that we will see Alex again in heaven.

That story didn’t creep up, it sprang up at every turn. No, I had a different question… Where was dad? I mean, Michael credits his […]
READ MOREThis weekend IT begins. This weekend I am pumped about what God is going to do at Southbrook Church! We are beginning a brand new series entitled simply, “IT.†But don’t let the name fool you. IT is vitally important to the local church—any church—all churches. IT is mysterious and difficult to define yet IT […]
READ MOREI really believe with every fiber of my being—that God is going to continue to do mind blowing things through this wonderful family of believers known as Southbrook Church! Honestly, it’s a no-brainer. Because the Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles 16:9, The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose […]
READ MORELast weekend the message at Southbrook was about the apostle Peter. We’re in a “Heroes” series right now and he is definitely a hero of mine—maybe my favorite. Why? Because I mess up a lot. Peter messed up a lot. But the cool thing abut Peter was that He kept trying. And the […]
READ MOREOnce again God moved mightily at Southbrook and many folks gave their lives to Jesus! Praise God for this. It will never get old! But maybe something else I often do has gotten a bit old.
