What is true human flourishing? Long before Oprah and Gandhi came along, Jesus of Nazareth offered an entirely different way to be human. South Bay Bible Church, 578 Montauk Highway, East Moriches, is pleased to announce the start of Summer on the Mount: A Beginner’s Guide to Experiencing Heaven on Earth on Sunday, July 3, at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Join us in person or online at southbaychurchli.org/livestream, Facebook Live, or YouTube.
“Teachers and philosophers down through the ages have offered countless theories for prosperity,” said Matt Horne, lead pastor. “What if real prosperity is the complete reversal of what we think it is?”
Whether you consider yourself a church person or not, you’re invited to join us for this ten-part series, Summer on the Mount, as Pastor Matt guides us through Jesus’ manifesto on the good life.
1. The Pursuit of Happiness (Matthew 5:1-12) – July 3: Most people believe that the journey toward happiness is found in fortune, status, and a willingness to push people out of the way. But happiness is actually found when we flip all of that upside down and inside out. We find an unlikely community to enjoy along the way.
2. Guiding Light (Matthew 5:13-16) – July 10: Discontent with the world around you? Perhaps you could go out and change it. Jesus says, “You are the salt and light of the earth.” Understanding what Jesus meant could change the way that you see yourself and how you help your society flourish.
3. It’s Worse Than We Thought (Matthew 5:17-30) – July 17: Each of us strives to find a way to fix all of our problems, but our greatest problem isn’t an outside issue. It’s an internal dilemma, and it’s bigger than you might think. Thankfully, Jesus has made a way for resolution.
4. I’d Like to (Not) Buy a Vow (Matthew 5:31-37) – July 24: In a society that values and publicly promotes authenticity and being true to ourselves, so many of us do not come through on our promises, but, instead, present a false or emphatic version of ourselves. Jesus tells us that there’s a much easier path to genuine satisfaction – honesty and integrity.
5. A Different Kind of Kindness (Matthew 5:38-48) – July 31: Jesus’ most well-known and frequented subject in his teachings was love. But the love he calls us to is not like love as most of us know. This is a love that doesn’t make sense, one that extends beyond our family and friends. Yet, it is only this kind of love that changes us and the rest of the world.
6. The Wrong Righteousness (Matthew 6:1-18) – August 7: It’s always wrong to do the right thing when you’re doing the right thing for the wrong reason. That means that it isn’t strictly about what you do, but why you do what you do. There’s really only one sufficient reason to practice anything as it relates to God and the world – the love of God.
7. An Endless Chase (Matthew 6:19-34) – August 14: There’s a longtime epidemic sweeping humanity: insane amounts of anxiety. Jesus says that our insane anxiety is directly connected to our insane ambitions. Chasing after money and influence is not the way to gain peace. As far as we can tell, rest and contentment are possible…but it will require a different posture.
8. How to Remove Splinters (Matthew 7:1-12) – August 21: It could possibly be the most quoted scripture in the entire Bible, and it’s not John 3:16. Unfortunately, even as much as we quote it, it could also be the most misunderstood scripture in the Bible. If we long for prosperity in this life, it will demand a better way of living in relation to other people.
9. The Road Less Traveled (Matthew 7:13-23) – August 28: No one likes inconvenience. In fact, we want, more than anything, not to be inconvenienced. Still, Jesus says that difficulty and discipline are the way to life. Some people will try and tell you otherwise, but Jesus insists that embracing heaven will demand a long obedience in the same direction.
10. Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Matthew 7:24-29) – September 4: Who was this Jewish teacher of ancient wisdom? And what was so different about him? The promise of all that he said rests on if he is who he says he is. If he is truly who he claimed to be, then everything changes.
Do what you’ve always done, and you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. Follow the path of wisdom to a better life. South Bay Bible Church, 578 Montauk Highway, East Moriches, is pleased to announce the start of Life Hacks: Today’s Decisions for a Better Tomorrow on Sunday, September 18, at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Join us in person or online at southbaychurchli.org/livestream, Facebook Live, or YouTube.
“Life is a long series of decisions and consequences, for better or for worse,” said Matt Horne, lead pastor. “What are your decisions doing for you?”
Whether you consider yourself a church person or not, you’re invited to join us for this five-part series, Life Hacks, as Pastor Matt gives us timeless wisdom that works.
1. Choose Wisdom, Choose Life (Proverbs 8:12-36; Proverbs 9:10) – September 18: The human race suffers from what C.S. Lewis called, “Chronological Snobbery,” or the assumption that newer is equivalent to better. What if the path that leads to prosperity is one laid out a long, long time ago? Perhaps, even before time itself?
2. Safe, Secure, and Steady (Proverbs 4:23-27; Proverbs 10:9) – September 25: While we may think we want romance, money, or power, the primary need for human beings is simply to feel safe. Although every day brings a new challenge, there’s an easy way to always ensure our own security – but sometimes it requires making hard decisions.
3. Talk Less, Say More (Proverbs 12:18; Proverbs 16:23-24) – October 2: It was the lie we all wanted to believe; “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” The truth is words tend to hurt both the speaker and the listener. You can use your words to make a statement or to make a difference.
4. The Power of Focus (Proverbs 6:6-11; Proverbs 10:4; Proverbs 12:11) – October 9: In a world that fights from every direction for our attention, we can be tempted to live aimlessly and waste our time on frivolous pursuits. There’s a more efficient and effective way to live which will reap a much greater reward.
5. Under the Influence (Proverbs 13:20) – October 16: The one thing which has the greatest influence on our lives isn’t our devices or our substances, but our relationships. Your life reflects the personalities and values of the people you are closest with. If you want to change your life, change your circle.
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.
We start off with singing. SBBC has a full band with a variety of musical styles. You will notice the band and worship team plays a mix of updated hymns along with current songs and choruses. A Volunteer Minister will welcome and greet the congregation with an inspirational thought and prayer. At that point, our Senior Pastor gives a 30-35 minute message designed to be relevant, inspirational, and useful to daily life. We end with a few announcements for the week, offering, and usually a special song.
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 8:00, 9:30, 11:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m., or online anytime.

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