How fitting that my time with the Lord told of the paranoia of Joseph’s brothers after their father (Jacob) passed away. Today, at church we talked about getting mired in the muck of guilt. Guilt can actually be a good thing when it helps lead us to repentance and change. But guilt is also like […]
READ MOREThis “One Month to Live” series has definitely been a challenge for us all. It’s also been one of my very favorite series we’ve ever done as a church! Already (and we still have 2 more weeks to go) hundreds have seen life change in powerful ways as God teaches them to, in essence, ‘live […]
READ MOREWell, every weekend there are seven services. I’d call that pretty packed. But few are aware of the many other things going on at Southbrook Church. Every Sunday evening there are at least 30 life groups going on all over the geographical area. It’s our biggest day for life group gatherings of all shapes and […]
READ MOREThe First Shall Be Last I’m wrapping up Genesis in my Quiet time right now. One of the most courageous and godly characters in all the Bible is Joseph. His father (Jacob) was rather crafty and deceiving, but Joseph was so godly he is often pointed to as the most Christlike figure of the entire […]
READ MOREThis new film is causing quite a stir as it looks at the anti intelligent design (another name for, “Life by random stupidityâ€) school and the lunacy of protecting at all costs the scientific status quo… It stars Ferris Bueller’s teacher from, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off—â€Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?†That ring a bell? Well, this guy […]
READ MOREThis is a continuation of yesterday’s post. I have a few more amazing moments from the Georgia Aquarium to share with you all. Perhaps the greatest Homer Simpson moment (DOOP!) was seeing all the incredible efforts human beings have to go through in order to keep the fish in one of the relatively small exhibits […]
READ MOREGot your attention with that one didn’t I? But I’m no fool, (at least most of the time) and these are the infamous words of most fools. These are the words of those who look out at all of creation and then say to themselves, “It’s all just a matter of chance. We humans are […]
READ MORETonight I was tremendously blessed at the “New York Mission Trip†service!†I have to say I have been to a lot of youth events in my day (having been in youth work for years before starting Southbrook) but rarely have I witnessed such hearts for God as I did tonight! Not only did our […]
READ MOREThere’s a lot going on right now at Southbrook Church. Last weekend was the biggest attended weekend we’ve had for this time of year—up significantly from last year! A lot of it is due to the buzz of the new building going up! Finally! And the answer is, YES, the building will be ready by […]
READ MOREI’m in the later chapters of Genesis right now in my Quiet Time. It’s all about the life of Joseph (definitely one of my very favorite biblical personalities). He’s actually a ‘type of Christ’ and the similarities with him and Jesus are perhaps more vivid than with any other Old Testament person. Think about it: […]
