We’ve been gearing up for this day for years! Friends, the grand opening of our brand new worship center is this coming weekend—Sunday the 26th, to be exact. To get ready for this day we’ve sent out flyers and had hundreds of you commit to bringing friends and neighbors and loved ones to Southbrook Church […]
READ MOREI’m a lawn freak. Not only do I like the lawn looking good, but even more important to me is the time outside. You see, because I’m also a sermon junkie (I get the shakes if I go more than a few hours without hearing some of my favorite preacher’s takes on whatever I happen […]
READ MOREI don’t know everything about everything—honestly, I don’t even want to. That would make me a “know it all.” Everyone knows how enjoyable those people are to be around. However, one area I do feel like I’m getting pretty good at is handling critics. Once again, I learned at the school of hard knocks rather […]
READ MOREA few posts ago a pastor in South Carolina wrote a gutsy post that just melts the veneer right off some plastic people. Perry isn’t known for holding back, and every now and then says something that goes way beyond the 4 walls of Newspring Church. What follows is a commentary that I’ve seen play […]
READ MOREEven though it was a brand new day for all of us as we worshiped in the ginormous building, it was a first for our children as well. That’s right, the kids took over the former worship building and wasted no time up-fitting it for our brand new, Kid’s Cove! They have been chomping at […]

I’m seriously thinking of implementing this into everything we do in order to make our guests feel more at home. Why not? Disney should absolutely not be the happiest place on earth. Southbrook Church should be! That’s a […]
READ MOREI ran this a couple days back, but it doesn’t hurt to remind everyone so here it is again. Don’t forget that all volunteers need to be at Southbrook Church’s new worship center tonight just before 7:00 pm for a very special, “Be Our Guest” — last minute meeting. This will be a time to […]
READ MOREWe’ve just brought back an easy way for you to invite your friends to Southbrook Church. We had this several years ago and it works really well. But the key is that is is mind-numbingly easy—so anyone and everyone should take advantage of it. I’m talking about the new E-Invite buttons on our church website. […]
READ MOREInteresting. I’ve had some say that they don’t think it’s right to say that God leads us into the wilderness. We end up there ourselves when we mess up. Really? So God never allows this to grow our faith? Then what say you to this: Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the […]
