  • Psalm 126 - Dream Again
    Psalm 126 is a song of ascents—an epic road trip song—a reminder that God was so good “back then”. God will continue to be good in the future and that goodness is available right now. Psalm 126 invites us to sing along, to remember dreams God gave us, dreams He’s fulfilled, and dreams yet to come. Reality Church of Santa Barbara, it’s time to dream again.

  • A SUMMER IN THE PSALMS - PSALM 19
    CS Lewis once paid Psalm 19 was “the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world...”. In fact, the scope of Psalm 19 could not be more grand nor its implications more personal. In this message, we’ll meditate David’s word and follow the Spirit’s leading turning our hearts to worship.

    The Psalms are that sacred space in Scripture where honest humanity collides with loving divinity. Thomas Merton once said the Psalms “represent the experience of men and women who have prayed in every conceivable circumstance across thirty centuries.” In Psalm 42 we get an intimate glimpse into a soul’s pursuit of God’s presence, not simply for enhanced spirituality, but for in a heart-wrenching cry for survival.

  • Psalm 1 — The Happy Truth About Lies
    The book of Psalms has been a favorite for followers of Yahweh and of Jesus for centuries, because of its visceral, evocative language and beautiful imagery. Psalm 1 is not only an introduction to the book, but a container for all of its themes, and, as we will see, a kind of shorthand for the key tension in all of Scripture.

  • What Jesus' Heavenly Ascension Has to Do with Our Earthly Mess

    The whole world celebrates holidays surrounding the incarnation (Christmas), death (Good Friday), and resurrection (Easter) of Jesus Christ, but very little attention is given to Jesus’ ascension, even in the Church. But the ascension is kind of a big deal.

    Hebrew Scripture prophecies it. The New Testament’s most quoted Old Testament verse is about Jesus’ ascension. Peter’s Pentecost sermon cites the ascension as proof of Jesus as Israel’s exalted messianic king. When we say “Jesus is Lord”, or “Jesus is King” we mean, Jesus has ascended!

    But why does the ascension matter to you, right here and right now as a 21st century follower of Jesus? Let’s talk about that.
