Have you ever considered what the disciples must have felt on Good Friday? They had given up everything to follow Jesus. They had left their jobs and their families. They had completely changed their ways of life. They loved Jesus and they had committed everything to following Him. The journey had never been easy, but they trusted the one whom they were following. Many people hated Him and many people had threatened Him, but on Good Friday the hatred and threats went far beyond words....Read More

It has been a great month for Southern Hills! As rookie church planters we know that we have a lot to learn.

Have you ever been sharing an experience only to be ambushed by a "one upper?" You know what I am talking about. The person who loves to talk about how they have done this, that, or the other so much bigger, better, faster, etc. Paul addresses what is at the heart the one upper. While we may not always find ourselves bragging to others like the one upper, Paul shows us something that we share in common with them. What we will see is that it will get in the way of us loving others to have an impact for Christ....Read More

Chances are you are a lot like me. Life has become busy and your priorities have changed. We all have things that we used to enjoy that we just don’t have time for anymore. In fact, busyness is one of the main reasons why people say that they stop attending church. Many people who used to attend church regularly now only make it a few times a year, if they go all.

They encourage others to go, but it just doesn’t seem to fit their schedule anymore....Read More
