Can’t Get No Satisfaction

What are You Craving? “1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.” Your Bible may say that the “sons of Korah wrote this particular Psalm. However, many commentators (and […]

A Matter of Trust

Imagine that you are a gymnast whose specialty is the balance beam, and right before you’re ready to take to the beam in the final phase of the competition, your coach notifies you your preliminary scores are already so far ahead of everyone else’s that even if you get “0” in the final phase, you […]

Today we kicked off a 3 week series entitled, “Genome.” The gist is this…Each and every one of us was created with a unique and defining set of DNA which contains the genetic code that determines eye color, height, looks, personality tendencies, hair color and so much more.

Your Next Step

A Fork in the Road

Lately I’ve observed a greater fire in the people of Southbrook Church than at any other time in our history! I’m thrilled to see this–we’ve endured a lot to get to this point.

Loved seeing our church join with others to “Mark the Community” with the love of Christ. Friday night they gathered at our Southbrook Weddington Campus to pray for God to ignite the hearts of believers everywhere through the message being taught (It was Matt Chandler this particular night).
