Self-reliance rather than reliance of God is a trap that can lead to a “lukewarm”ness in our relationship with Jesus Christ & fruitless living. This is distasteful to Him but rather than spitting us out, He lovingly calls us to repentance and intimate relationship.

You’re powerless, but Jesus is powerful, that perspective changes things, and opens an opportunity.

Complacency leads to spiritual decline, but there is always a remnant that must wake up!

The Promise in the Panic by Reality Santa Barbara

Our worship and allegiance is for God alone--not worldly powers.

Jesus gives comfort and hope in the midst of persecution and hostility.

Ephesus by Reality Santa Barbara

Jesus sends us to do what he did in the places where we are.

We are built to Belong, and when we commit to belonging in the body of Christ, God produces fruit.

Following Jesus as a member of his church includes using our gifts to serve each other.
