What we celebrate at Southbrook
This past Sunday so typified the type of year we have been having at Southbrook Church. Hundreds came out to witness another 56 people profess Jesus Christ through baptism!
Am I bragging? On God, yes!! You better believe it. I give Him all the glory, praise and honor for He is a God that reaches down [...]

The Road Less Traveled
The only thing to fear is fear itself.
Yeah, but fear is pretty terrifying!
Occasionally ministry reaches a place of intense spiritual battle. At such times we need to move in closer and pray harder. If you’ve been there, then you know that at such times, these two things are no longer clichés, but rather, lifelines!
At times [...]

Frogger Part 4
No Straight line
As we continue with our little ‘Frogger’ experiment it’s important to know something about this cute little game from the 80’s…
It’s Morphed!
I mean, come on, is this even the same game?!
Yep.
I checked.
It’s just that it’s changed.
A lot.
But the most interesting thing is that the basic concept is still the same. You [...]

The Big Green Monster
First let me start by saying that I love reading other pastor’s blogs and celebrating what the Lord is doing not just here at Southbrook Church, but also at countless other churches around the country who are breaking out of the mold, taking risks, and boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ.
One of the most [...]

Frogger Part 3
Avoiding Landmines
I love the way Charles Stanley presented this whole “landmines” issue in his monthly newsletter. He set it up as follows:
Physical landmines are places on roadsides and in open fields of war-torn countries. In a similar way, Satan goes out before us each morning and strategically places spiritual landmines along our path. Each one [...]

Frogger Part 2
The Art of Minesweeping
What’s the big deal about spiritual landmines anyway?
A lot of people, the moment the word ‘spiritual’ is attached, breathe a quiet sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, they reason, at least we’re not talking about anything real here. Even some Christ followers may harbor feelings like this in the back recesses of their [...]

Finding great joy in the midst of tremendous pain
It happened again today.
What some might call a once in a lifetime event has now happened twice.
In one week!
God moved among the broken and hurting. He calmed the heats of those who felt the tremendous weight of loss. He wiped away the tears of family, friends, neighbors and co-workers and replaced them with tears of [...]

Frogger
Ahh, the 80’s!
What a completely bizarre decade in our history!
The 80’s were a time of mohawks, punk rock, Brat packs, new wave, rockabilly, Back to the Future, breakfast club, Donkey Kong and Frogger.
Remember Frogger? I do, I was a Frogger wizard (and no, I’m not proud). The goal was to get the little frog across [...]

The Greatest Single Factor — Wrap up
Do you think it’s possible to be both loved and hated?
I do.
And there’s hardly a better example (isn’t, in fact) than Jesus.
Have you ever heard of anyone else who could attract multitudes willing to ride his coat tales all the way to Rome’s front steps? The throngs were trying to make Him their king!
His [...]

The Single Greatest Factor — continued
Part 2
Brokenness
Brokenness? Are you serious, pastor Rob? How can brokenness be the single greatest factor for ANYTHING?! I mean, if you’re broken, then you are, well, not fixed.
True, true.
But let me challenge the notion that human perfection and having it all together is what we ought to always strive for.
Fist of all, wouldn’t you [...]

The digits
And now (drum role please)…dadalut, dadalut, dadalut..
A topic more powerful than a nuclear blast
A truth deeper and more complex than Einstein’s theory of relativity.
A subject more controversial than the 2000 election.
A theme more riveting than the last half hour of the movie, “Braveheart.”
A subject matter more serious than a reprimand [...]

The Single Greatest Factor
Part 1
I look for this above all other characteristics and qualities when I interview for Southbrook Church.
I seek this in my own life when I feel I’ve drifted off course.
I exhort others to pray for this when their spiritual life has grown anemic.
This quality is lower on people’s prayer lists than patience. And that would [...]

Water from your own well
Guest Blogger: Clayton King
The summer of 2007 will go down in history, at least for me. Not only is it the summer that Barry Bonds made the headlines with a baseball bat, but it was also the summer of “more bad news.” Let me explain.
I have much to be thankful for during these hot [...]

The Last Chance…and the one after that!
I thought of a great idea for helping to get that friend or family member to Southbrook Church this weekend. Take them to “Gal Friday’s” concert in the park at the Promenade.
It’s this Friday (as in tomorrow) night, from 7:00 - 10:00 pm. The Promenade is locates at 485 and Providence road.
These events have [...]
