My hats off to the worship and programming team for helping us all see the love and impact of “Good Friday!” It was so clearly and beautifully presented—Jesus in all His love and sacrifice for you and me. I can’t think of a better way to prepare the heart for the celebration of Easter and […]
READ MORETonight my 11 year old son was telling me about some creepy, ‘R’ rated horror movie a couple kids in his class had seen. I was flabbergasted. How is it parents can let kids (one of these guys is still 10!) see junk like that? Especially when these kids go to a Christian school!!! He […]

READ MORESome mistakes can be pretty costly in life—from boneheaded ideas to just plain ‘human error.’ A few come to mind: Hey, let’s make mortgages available for absolutely anyone.

READ MOREWhat if I told you I know exactly what God wants you to do this week? Would you say I’m nuts? A religious wacko? An arrogant swindler? We tend to regard such self proclaimed prophets as either liars or nut jobs. And, for the most part, I agree. But what if I told you my […]
READ MOREJust a quick shout out to our great God! Both our Weddington Campus and our Monroe Campus had near record crowds! People are really turning to Jesus by the droves in these uncertain times. Now my prayer is that God would give us all a holy discontent for anything other than an Easter blow out […]
READ MORETraditionally, Christmas and Easter are times of great harvest for us at Southbrook Church. Many hundreds come to faith in Christ on these two days alone, every year.
