Nothing beats a clear, pure, holy and joyful relationship with Jesus Christ—nothing! Period. That’s why I have no marvel at why so many “Christians” (me included) will often delay the peace and intimacy God intends for us with weak attempts to look good before everyone else (other than God). Consider what we so often do […]
READ MOREEver have one of these? I had one today. Apparently the apostle Paul had them from time to time—that gives people like me real hope! Oh, it’s not a good thing—not like your Birthday or New Year’s Eve, Independence Day, etc. This is a day you want to avoid—hope to avoid at all costs. Nevertheless, […]
READ MOREEvery now and then @Southbrook we get people who I would refer to as, “Walk On’s.” What is a “walk on?” Well, in sports (such as professional football) most of the players come from the NFL draft—but not all.

READ MOREWhat a great weekend at Southbrook Church! We witnessed 80 people step out in faith and with courage to identify with Jesus HIS way—through baptism!

Turns out it wasn’t quite what he expected but it came nevertheless. Each year as a pastor there is one thing I’ve learned to expect on this weekend—more […]
READ MOREI don’t know what it is about “Back to School” but over the years I’ve learned that a lot of people head to church at this time. Here in North Carolina that means this weekend! Don’t get me wrong—I have theories… Families who have relocated choose August as a time to find a church […]
READ MOREPart one was more than a week ago—sorry about that. But you need it for this to make sense. So, click HERE for part one. So, what got so bad with an entire generation of Israelites that God had to stick’em in the desert furnace until an entire generation of fat was burned off? Disobedience. […]
READ MOREThe second annual Weddstock is here! Last year over 4,000 people attended the events at Hunter Farms and this year promises to be better than ever. We really want to see Brookies out in force tomorrow as we take this excellent opportunity to engage the community of Weddington—home to our Weddington campus! Remember gang—our […]
