Remember that…EASTER IS COMING!!

Easter’s Coming!!!

Remember that tonight our Midweek series, “offended,” continues but that we won’t have a midweek service next week! Cool? Good. But men? You DO have the first Monday men’s gathering so man up and be there! Now, what’s up with Easter? Southbrook usually has a thousand or so extra people hanging around for this GINORMOUS […]

Sunday Evening Mind Dump

In 10 years of ministry I don’t remember feeling as sick to my stomach as I did this morning. It was so bad I went into my office and tearfully prayed for God to take over. I couldn’t concentrate and was doubled over with pains in my gut. On the other hand, I was bound […]

Wilderness Christians — Part 2

* Don’t forget our midweek series, “offended!” continues tonight @ Southbrook Weddington. For part one click here. Now, on to the second half of this series… The passage, Psalm 78:17–31reads as follows, 17 But they continued to sin against him,       rebelling in the desert against the Most High.  18 They willfully put God to the test       […]

Final Impact

God is SOOOO Good! This much I can tell you. The results of our impact offering exceeded what we prayed for—surpassed the first fruits amount we asked God for! This weekend I’ll announce it when all the numbers are in but know this—the 2010 impact vision begins NOW!   * I’ll also have “Wilderness Christians […]

They think too many of them are alike—too many of them are ‘complainy’ in nature—too many of them sound like ancient hymns only Monte Python Monks would sing today. But those things couldn’t be further from […]

Sunday Evening Mind Dump

This past weekend was amazing! We wrapped up our 4 week series on , “Impact!” and forever etched in our minds that we are called to…Mark the Body, Mark the Community and, Mark the World! I’m definitely tired but anxious to find out what all we will be able to charge forward and do as […]

Ya Snooze, Ya Lose!

Ok, I’ve hit my threshold! I’ve now had enough people tell me they missed last week’s Mexico Message because they, well… SLEPT IN!! Hey, thanks for being honest! Looks like this year’s daylight savings time wasn’t on most people’s radar. The sad part is that you missed the challenge to “Go Tell the World!”—a challenge […]

Take Away #9

Don’t forget “FINAL IMPACT” in 2 Days! Be praying about what you can do to make an IMPACT for Christ! Mark the Body Mark the Community Mark the World   If I had to choose a Bible verse that best decribes Juliana on our Mayan journey, I would choose Colossians 3:12–14 (MSG): So, chosen by God […]
