What Baby Steps?
Here, as promised are some of the baby steps that will make a GIANT difference if we all take them together:
1. We need at least 100 of our regular members and attendees to call the new 8:30 video cafe their service. We’ve successfully done this for both the 10:00 and the 11:30 cafes, but they [...]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I’ve heard a lot of folks displaying what I call, ‘Optimistic Schizophrenia.’ Yes, I made it up, thus the statement, ‘what I call.’
What is it you ask? Well it’s the fired up, joy-filled, ecstatic, child-like wonder we all share at seeing God continue to bring people to Southbrook in droves, on the one hand. [...]

I’m putting that one on the shelf for a while!
The weekend is over and I have a funny unfamiliar feeling from it. I mean, I’ve had hints of this feeling before — smaller doses and such, but this was different. This weekend left me feeling a bit like I imagine the Austin Power’s tiny character, Mini Me would feel after a ‘no holds barred’ [...]

One down…3 to go.
Wow! On a good note, lives were obviously touched. I hung around after the message Saturday night longer than I have at any other Saturday in recent memory. There are a lot of hurting people out there. Aren’t you glad we serve Jehovah Rafa (the God who heals)?
God is going to restore marriages at SCC [...]

What I’m Reading
I love to read. I mean really LOVE TO READ! — to the tune of about 3 or four books a week. So, when a publishing dry spell hits the industry, I’m fit to be tied. About a year ago it seemed nearly the entire 12 months passed without a noteworthy offering. Where were the [...]

Whew! That Wasn’t So Hard After All!
How are we all doing? Have you made that bold invite yet? — as opposed to sneaking to nearby neighborhoods at 3:00 a.m., tying balloons and a note to several random mailboxes inviting people to Southbrook signed, The Phantom Inviter.
I’m with you, rejection is tough. Alas, all I can offer you is this, don’t [...]

It’s as simple as…1,2,3!
Curious?
Not even a little?
Tough, here it is—the method for gauging our mission (Blues Brothers Style) from God…
You see, we simply need to take a look at what we have been averaging over the last month or so and double all the MP’s who step up to the plate (1 for them and 1 for their [...]

Time to Stand Up and Be Counted!
I was looking over the list of MP’s who identified themselves (via the comment section) many blogs ago. WOW! 50 different families, and that’s just the computer literate bloggers. I had at least twice that identify their interest in being a MMWY (Might Man, Woman, or Young Person) but lack of interest in blogging. Oh [...]

Expository Preaching, Part 3
This will be my final installment on the subject. It’s really too simple to devote much more time to.
As promised, I want to respond to the bullet points from yesterday’s blog. Here they are again in case you missed them (though a simple scroll down to yesterday’s blog would reveal them as well :). [...]

Expository Preaching, Part 2
Why I don’t do more expository preaching…
Let’s start with the word, ‘more’ for today. You see, we certainly have nothing against expository (which is verse by verse, interpretive) teaching at SCC—in fact, we do it. What chafes my hide, however, are these pious preachers out there who insist that this is the only way to [...]

Supository…Oops, I Mean, Expository Peaching: Part 1
Every once in a blue moon someone will come up and ask me, Why don’t you do more expository preaching? That comment is usually followed up with something like, I just really like the deeper stuff.
Hmm…
Where to begin? That is the question.
In no particular order…the reasons I do not do more ‘expository’ preaching;
1. The best [...]

Champion of the Week
This week’s shout out has got to go to our unbelievable worship team members! Can anyone be missing the AWESOME talent and transparent hearts the Lord has STACKED us with at SCC?!
With so much giftedness at one place perhaps some are wondering if there are ever ‘ego’ problems. Wonder no more. This is the [...]

Let Me Make a Prediction
I hope you all are praying like crazy for March 10th and 11th! That is when Clayton King comes to town and this annointed man of God will deliver the gospel in a relevant way and God will move.
How do I know?
He always has.
Clayton has the spiritual gift of evangelism.
But I have even more [...]

When God Moves
This past weekend we started a brand new series called majoring on the Minors. No, I am not advocating poor time management techniques. The series is all about the major things we can learn from the so-called ‘minor’ prophets.
Wanna here something peculiar yet incredibly awesome about my God? There were 17 decisions for Christ after [...]

Who Likes a Challenge?
God has been speaking to me constantly since I saw those 474 names go up on the light columns this past weekend.
It’s been a sort of tug-o-war. On the one hand, I am SO THRILLED to see that so many of us know lost folks. Could you imagine if an extra 500 people just [...]
