One of our core values at South Bay Church is, “We live and risk all for the King and His Kingdom.”  We strongly believe that we are to live with a sense of complete abandonment for Jesus.  This simply means that we are willing to abandon our comfort, will, and even desires to obediently follow [...]

I am amazed at how fast a year can go by, and I can’t believe that today is Christmas Eve.  When I was growing up I never believed my parents when they said, “When you grow up time goes by a lot faster!”  As you probably know, when you’re  in middle school time seems to [...]

In the middle of a trial in life or ministry it is so easy to forget God’s faithfulness to us in the past.  We, being human, don’t have the ability to see into the future and know how our trial will unfold and what the end result will be; however, God knows!  Not only does [...]

We all step into the world of the unknown, where we don’t know how the current situation we find ourselves in will turn out.  This can be small or monumental circumstances that happen in life.  Think about it… “If you are diagnosed with cancer, how will this turn out in the end?

I recently read “Just Walk Across the Room” by Bill Hybels and constantly felt myself challenged, inspired, and passionate in the area of evangelism (sharing Jesus with others).  Some of you may have read Kendall’s review of the book on her blog, www.kendallhibiske.com.  Since she did a great job of reviewing the book I’m not [...]

Just the other day I went to workout in the gym at our apartment complex and I ran into a guy that Kendall and I had just met a couple days before.  I was planning on working out well before I actually got there, but through a series of circumstances I was not able to [...]

Here is a picture that Kendall painted for my office.  She is quite the artist and has been able to use her artistic gift more since we have moved to CA and are not in school.  She painted this picture for my office and she has also painted an awesome picture from our wedding for [...]

We have tagged Easter Sunday as Superbowl Sunday for Church.  Easter Sunday is arguably the biggest Sunday of the year for church.  Easter is the greatest celebration day for all followers of Jesus because Easter is the day we celebrate the death and RESURRECTION of Jesus, the one and only Son of God, who gave [...]

This is one of the first major lessons I learned upon our move to CA and beginning at South Bay.  Personal organization is crucial to leadership, and it will impact every aspect of our lives.  Not only can I be a better leader, but I can be a better husband and follower of Jesus.  When [...]
