Weekend reflections: I confess, we haven’t always taken the week before Easter to talk about Palm Sunday and the Triumphal Entry. A lot of the time we’re either wrapping up a series or kicking off a new one on that day so Palm Sunday has been sort of forgotten—while Easter takes a front seat. It’s […]
READ MOREThe Missing Piece This has been on my heart for well over 2 years, but I’ve been too much of a wimp to write about it because I didn’t want to cause waves. Then I started thinking about Jesus and the way He lived His life on this issue and, well, let’s just say, […]
READ MOREHey, Boomer? So you’re big. You’re influential. You’re powerful. You have all the potential in the world. But will you dance? Remember all the dances you went to growing up? Unless you’re baptist. If you were anything like me, you went to those things with the full intention of dancing, but you spent most of […]
READ MORESouls or Seashells? There’s lots and lots of them—this generation that came to life between 1946 and 1964. And they will be remembered for going one of 2 directions. Retiring from their jobs as early as possible so that they might spend more time at “the shore†collecting sea shells and shark’s teeth. Rising up […]
READ MOREWhat if you went to the doctor today and got handed this news? “You have one month to live.†How would it affect the way you spend your last days? Would you continue on—business as usual? I believe nearly everyone would answer that in the negative. Of course not! I mean, you now have 30 […]
READ MOREI look forward to these weekends like few others. A rare opportunity for us to do nothing but lift up the name of Jesus for the entire service! Actually, I should point out that we have that rare opportunity every single weekend, but what makes this rare is what we did and what I didn’t […]
READ MOREAbout twice a year we give the entire weekend at Southbrook to our wonderfully gifted musicians and singers and say, “Lead us the the throne!” They always deliver. Know why? Because they are not directionally challenged. They know the way to the throne of God is through Jesus Christ and lifting up His name. They […]
READ MOREOk, I apologize for being late on this one, but though they were few, they were good (these stories)! But, we have a winner, and that person will receive a gift certificate for a dinner out with that special someone of their choice. Drum role, please! (dadalut, dadalut)… The winning post can be found here. […]

READ MOREI’m hard pressed to find a group of Americans getting more of a bum rap than the baby boomers. Whenever they’re not taking the heat for everything from declining church attendance to global warming, they get the blame for just about everything else! If a war breaks out somewhere in the far reaches of the […]
