An Exercise in Futility — Part One
Today I was once again reminded of why we are structured the way we are at Southbrook Church. Sure, there are plenty of good reasons we’ve chosen the structure we have—great churches I respect tremendously function similarly—places like Saddleback Church (with Rick Warren), Fellowship Church (Pastor Ed Young jr.), Northpoint (Andy Stanley), New Hope (Wayne […]

Christmas Addictions
The other day my son was after me to go outside and throw the football with him.
It was 38 degrees! I thought it might be a better time to break in the new Wii Santa brought this Christmas.
So break it in we did. I’d been told it was a bit addicting.
“What?” I said. “That’s ridiculous! […]

They’re starting to pop up everywhere!
Have you seen these? If so did you get close enough to see exactly what it was?
No?
Then here are a few more angles for ya…
You can get these cool looking deals for your car at the resource table each weekend. Let’s get a few thousand of these out there!
It’s just one more way to reach […]

Pictures from Christmas Eve
As I said yesterday, this past weekend was certainly right up there with the greatest celebrations I’ve ever experienced at a church!—any church! Sure, it ended up taking 14 services to pull it off, but was it worth it?
You bet!
More people came through the doors than ever before—over 3500!! And more people gave their lives […]

Greatest Week Ever at Southbrook?!
That’s debatable I suppose with a year like we’ve had, but this week is certainly right up there with the greatest celebrations I’ve ever experienced at a church!—any church! Sure, it ended up taking 14 services to pull it off, but was it worth it?
You bet!
More people came through the doors than ever before—over 3500!! […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
But not for the reasons you might think.
For me this is a wonderful time because more people come hear about the love of Jesus than at any other time (including Easter). And the result of so many tire-kickers checking this thing called “church” out is that multitudes begin a relationship with Jesus.
This weekend we saw […]

I Can Hardly Wait!
Want to know what thrills me to death?!
Seeing those who are far from God brought near through the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. This weekend I am believing God for more people to come home to Jesus for Christmas then at any other weekend we’ve ever had.
That’s a lofty hope I know, […]

Griswold Results are in…But Wait!
The results of our little impromptu Christmas decoration vote is in and House ‘B’ absolutely shredded house ‘A’ in our little contest for Griswold family madness! But I think I should tell you that house ‘A’ actually added a nativity. Imagine that. Amidst all the ‘Walmartish’ items someone apparently had a Homer Simpson moment and […]

Death and The Job of A Minister
Guest Blogger:
Clayton King
Ministers are easily distracted. We are easily distracted because many of us have a desire to serve people and the inability to say no. On top of that, people know that we love them so they often ask, and expect, certain things from us, whether we should do those […]

They’re not just Ornaments!
We Go Live In, 8…7…6…5…
4 More Days!
Can you believe it?! There are hundreds and hundreds of names on the Christmas ornaments at Southbrook Church. Each name represents someone who is far from God. If you have not yet confirmed that rendezvous @ SCC with that individual you better do it now!
And here is a very […]

They Don’t Even Know They’re Sheep!
Call’m Out — Part 2
Have you ever tried herding cats?
I haven’t either. My mom loves cats so I’ve been around plenty of them in my day. And one thing you notice about each one of them is that they have a definite mind of their own. For the cat lovers of this blog…brace yourself—reality coming […]

A Griswold Christmas
Tis the season to party! Our Executive pastor, Paul Allen and his wife, Sandy hosted a ministry leader’s drop in tonight (part 2 is tomorrow night) and they’ve been telling us that the people on their street are sort of having a Griswold type battle to see who can use the most electricity per minute. […]
