Starting to get pretty pumped!
Gang, we have so many exciting things planned for the Fall that I can hardly stand it! Literally one or two major things each month that God is doing that will blow your mind. That’s why I’m pumped to be back for a good long stretch now. There’s so much to do.
I’ll try to keep [...]

Without fuel, you run out of gas.
Pretty simple, huh?
What if you were used to filling up FREE at every gas station, on every corner? It would become a robotic like response and you’d certainly take it for granted that that’s the way it ought to be.
But then, what if your perfect little Texaco world came to an end all at once? One [...]

Trust Me
You will trust God only as much
as you love Him. And you will love
Him not because you have studied
Him; you will love Him because you
have touched Him—in response to His
touch…Only if you love will you
make that final step into darkness.
“Father, into Your hands I commend
my Spirit.
Brennan Manning in “Lion and Lamb”
Do you trust Him? Do [...]

Chaise Lounge Etiquette — Part 2
My wife, Michelle, is a softy. Upon further examination, she is was not entirely convinced it was the “Southern Living” group who descended upon the chaise lounge chairs like a swarm of locusts. I, on the other hand, am thoroughly convinced. If I were a lawyer, this would be the classic open and shut case. [...]

Chaise Lounge Etiquette
My wife and I are on our 10 year anniversary trip.
It’s a 5 day trip I surprised her with (almost 3 years late – That really added to the surprise element. What can I say? It took me that long to earn the frequent flier miles). And it’s amazing how many times I [...]

How Can You Tell?
During the “One Prayer” series one of the messages was about how to acquire a characteristic most of us find in short supply.
Wisdom.
Pastor Wayne Cordiello, of New Hope Church in Hawaii gave the One Prayer message, “Lord, make us Wise.” It was probably my favorite out of all of the messages for it’s depth yet [...]

Nick @ Night
Isn’t it amazing how nothing is wasted in God’s Word? Seriously, Jesus even said that, “…Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” Matthew 5:18 (KJV)
Of course, ‘jots and tittles’ are not common grammatical terms today, so I’ll just tell you [...]

Up On The Roof
In the gospel of Mark, chapter 2 is one of the greatest stories of true friendship anywhere. It’s the story of the paralytic man who was carried to Jesus by his four friends. They had heard Jesus was in town and they wanted to get their friend to Him to be healed.
There’s great faith right [...]

Like Old Times — Only Better!
Today when I stood before the group at our Southbrook Monroe campus a flood of emotions washed over me.
I know that sounds like a cheesy line from a romantic novel or something but it’s so true. I was taken back instantaneously to the very early days of Southbrook Church as it rose from the ashes [...]

Return Worship and 91.9!
I agree, “Our church Band Rocks!” And to prove it, we were chosen the winner of the 91.9 “Our Church Band Rocks” contest! Monday at 5:30 pm they will play the song, “Pour” off of Return’s first worship CD. Everyone tune in and then call in to request it again!
and again!
and again!
Way to go, Return [...]

Nothing’s a Ritual
I just finished a book called, “The Shack.” For the 3 of you out there who haven’t gotten around to reading it, or just plain, don’t read—it’s a book about encountering the God of the universe in a very real way at an old, beaten down shack.
Now, before some of you late night, armchair theologians [...]

Disappearing without Dialogue?
Is it OK for Christ followers to simply, ‘Disappear without Dialogue?’
Or, as I heard a friend put it the other day, ‘Bail without Conversation?’
I’m referring to handling conflict via the silent treatment. One of the most popular reactions to tension and hurt is to simply, ‘write people off.’ You know, cut your loses, move on, [...]

Change of Plans
I think I’ll head on over to Southbrook Monroe this weekend. Not to just sit and soak—those guys don’t believe in that over there. No, I want to preach to the gang over there LIVE.
I realized that I won’t have many opportunities like this, so, I thought, why not?
Why not, indeed?
The more I thought [...]

Heroes
We began our new series, “Heroes” today. Moses was the first character and I think a lot of us struggle thinking he’s either Charlten Hesston from the Cecil B. DeMille movie, “The Ten Commandments,” or, the wirey, prank-pulling, eternally young Moses of, “Prince of Egypt” animated fame. But there’s one thing missing form each of [...]
