Life is hard and we all know it. South Bay Bible Church, 578 Montauk Highway, East Moriches, is pleased to announce the start of To Be Honest: Navigating Doubt, Regret, and Burnout on Sunday, September 17, at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Join us in person or online at southbaychurchli.org/livestream, Facebook Live, or YouTube.
“Many people believe the Bible is filled with superheroes, people that we all want and pretend to be,” said Matt Horne, pastor. “Surprisingly, the Bible is often more honest about the human condition than we are, which is why it can actually help us.”
Whether you consider yourself a church person or not, you’re invited to join us for this three-part series, To Be Honest, as Pastor Matt shows us how everyday people can find hope when they decide to get honest with God, others, and themselves.
1. The Benefit of the Doubt (Matthew 11:1-11) – September 17: Many people never come to faith because of their questions and fears, but God isn’t offended by your doubt. In fact, the man who was once called the G.O.A.T. also had his own questions. Through his story, we realize that God responds to our doubts with love and compassion.
2. Giving Regret a Reset (2 Samuel 11-12; Psalm 32; Psalm 51) – September 24: Have you ever done something that you regret, only to cover it up with more bad decisions? That was the situation that one of God’s servants found himself in. When you’ve found yourself in a deep hole that you dug out yourself, God is able to lift you out and give you a fresh start.
3. Fired Up or Burnt Out? (1 Kings 19:1-18; Matthew 11:28-30) – October 1: There’s too much to do and not enough time to do it. Even if you are successful in your tasks, the exhaustion can still make you vulnerable. That was certainly the case for this mighty prophet, who went from the peak of his career to the darkest, most depressing moment of his life.

There’s a lot that we could say about the Christian church, but what would Jesus say about it? South Bay Bible Church, 578 Montauk Highway, East Moriches, is pleased to announce the start of Dear Church: Letters from Jesus to His People on Sunday, October 8, at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Join us in person or online at southbaychurchli.org/livestream, Facebook Live, or YouTube.
“Some have their eyes on the White House, the stock market, or the media tabloids. Jesus has his eyes on His church.” said Matt Horne, pastor. “The question is, what does He see?”
Whether you consider yourself a church person or not, you’re invited to join us for this seven-part series, Dear Church, as Pastor Matt explains what a healthy church looks like according to Jesus.
1. First Love (Revelation 2:1-7) – October 8: It is possible that a church might be busy in various activities, stand firm on doctrine, and speak out against those who cause evil, and simultaneously lose their devotion to the One for whom they do it. This was the case for the church at Ephesus, a church who lost their First Love. As far as Jesus is concerned, anything not done in devotion is actually distraction.
2. Keeping Faith Under Pressure (Revelation 2:8-11) – October 15: A Scottish preacher once quipped, “A church cannot be a true church without causing trouble.” In their faithfulness to Jesus, the church at Smyrna had caused themselves some trouble. Under the pressure of a society warring against them, they have two choices – compromise or commitment.
3. Battle for the Mind (Revelation 2:12-17) – October 22: The most dangerous weapons against the church aren’t swords or opposing accusers, but secular creeds and pseudo-spiritual ideologies. For the church at Pergamum, Jesus urges them to return to the truth of His Word. When it comes to the thoughts of the mind, tolerance brings bondage, but truth sets us free.
4. Jealous Lover (Revelation 2:18-29) – November 5: When Jesus looks at his church, He not only looks at their teaching, but their life and practices. It can be easy to compartmentalize your “spiritual life” as separate from your “real life,” but you may find yourself in the same trap as the church at Thyatira where your two lives contradict one another. The Christian life is about more than theology…it’s about whole-life allegiance.
5. Always on the Brink (Revelation 3:1-6) – November 12: Jesus never judges the overall health of a church by its busyness, and neither should we. From a ground-level perspective, the church at Sardis looked very alive, but the truth is, they were very much dead. Jesus takes no delight in a church that has many interests but little impact.
6. An Open Door (Revelation 3:7-13) – November 19: The church that remains humble and obedient to Jesus will be honored and used greatly by God in a way that extends beyond the lifespan of the congregation. For the church at Philadelphia, Jesus promises an open door of both salvation and opportunity. A church doesn’t need to be large or loud to be valuable to God, only loyal.
7. Let Me In! (Revelation 3:14-22) – November 26: The church at Laodicea knew just enough of Jesus to be dangerous, not to others, but to themselves. Jesus compares their faith to lukewarm water; It isn’t satisfying in passion or service. Robust discipleship begins with letting Jesus fully enter in.
We want your first experience at South Bay Bible Church to be uplifting and positive, so we have compiled a few commonly asked questions.
If you have a question that is not listed, please email your question to info@sbbcli.org, and we will do our best answer your question within a day or two.
We have two Sunday services: 9:00 & 11:00 a.m.
We also have services online anytime.
We also have Community Groups that meet throughout the week at various times.
Our services begin with a welcome and a few announcements for the week, followed by a call to worship by our Pastor. We then move into worship through song. SBBC has a full band with a variety of musical styles. You will notice the worship team plays a mix of updated hymns along with current songs and choruses. Our Pastor will then give a 30-35 minute message designed to be relevant, inspirational, and useful to daily life. We end with prayer, another song, the offering, and a benediction.
Walk in the doors at SBBC, and you will see a wide variety of clothing choices, from shorts and flip-flops (in the summer of course) to dresses and ties. Be comfortable! The pastor does not even wear a coat and tie! What's most important is that you come to meet with God, lean in, and listen to what He has to teach you. We want the service to be our gift to you and for you to leave knowing God loves you, and it's not about what you wear.
We have a nursery for newborns to four years old that begins 15 minutes before the Sunday morning service. We also have Kid's Club for kindergarten through fifth grade that begins after the music during the Sunday morning service. After the music, we call all the children forward in the service, pray for them, and send them to the Kid's Club area with trained teachers for a lesson on their level. We take the safety and security of your child very seriously. All children's workers undergo a full criminal (national) background check.
We have five ways you can get involved in the church right away. First, let us WELCOME you to one of our regular services on Sunday at 9:00, 11:00, or online anytime. Second, CONNECT with us in the orientation class, which is offered one time every month. The time and place is on the church calendar and announced at our services.

Fourth, SERVE with us by joining with a church ministry team. Fifth, INVITE someone to church or win someone to Jesus.
