The final installment of Galatians happens tonight! And it will end with a bang! Paul’s not very subtle when the body of Christ is at stake. So, his instructions in this last chapter are of value to any believer desire to finish strong! Hope you can make it! BTW, if you are following the series […]
READ MOREI hear a lot about the rich young ruler in churches today. Seems he’s a favorite for quick offering speeches everywhere. And preachers take a million and one approaches regarding what Jesus was really saying to this dude. Jesus was saying that money is bad Jesus was saying that the love of money was […]
READ MOREThis morning I got up extra early. Not just because it was time for the Men’s Monday morning gathering—but because God woke me up—like 4:00 a.m. early…ouch! I’ve learned that when God does this—I need to listen. If He’s trying to talk to me, it’s not like I’m going to get any sleep anyway. […]
READ MOREI need to ask some of you for forgiveness. At the 9:00 am service I went into more detail about the text than I meant to with kids in the room! That wasn’t the plan, but once I read it I defaulted to what I always do—explaining the passage. Only problem was that I forgot […]
READ MOREBeen a while since we’ve seen this, huh? But I dropped by the Monroe Campus today to visit with the amazing volunteers putting together the Prom Project 2011!

READ MOREHey Brookies? What would you say if I told you I had a lot more to say this past weekend? Scary, isn’t it? But it’s true—and it needs to be said because the incredible grace and love our great God showed Lot is the real story—not Lot’s pathetically weak attempt at being a […]
READ MOREPastor Geoffrey said it best this weekend, “You all will never know how much it’s meant to us to see this church actually be the body of Christ!” In word and deed! I love this church! Gen. 19 — toughest passage I’ve ever taught on! Peter calls Lot a ‘righteous’ man. I might have […]
READ MOREThis weekend the Lord has shown me a lot to share with the body of Southbrook about how to avoid a family melt-down but the message comes with a caution… It’s not for the squeamish. We will not shirk from God’s truth or sugar coat what happened with this biblical family I will be teaching […]
READ MOREUncomfortably Comfortable I’ve always found it strange that American evangelical churches hold up the very hallmarks (goals, blessings, proofs of spiritual superiority, etc.) that scripture says we are not to focus on. Think about it. There are a lot of’em… Wealth Power Pride (Have you no pride?!) Independence Comfort Perfect Health There are more, but […]
