We hope you’ll join us as we worship together!

Hear the new mission of Reality Santa Barbara. It’s not a new mission. It’s the ancient, biblical, historical mission from the earliest followers of Jesus, contextualized to our local community—practicing the way of Jesus together in Santa Barbara.

This is week one of a vision series at Reality Church of Santa Barbara. In this sermon Stephen Posey talks about the power of dreaming God-size dreams with God and partnering with God for their fulfillment—for His glory and our joy!

If you and I were to have audience with God almighty, there are any number of things we’d want from Him. We certainly have a few questions for Him. Why this? What about that? What would you ask of the God of all creation? Now this: what is it you think God would ask of you? In Matthew 9, we see Jesus reveal something about what God wants through a series of stories in which people cry out to in desperate need .

Jesus famously said, “In this world you will have trouble.” This was an affirmation of a truth we already know—trouble is unavoidable for all humankind. Thankfully, Jesus didn’t stop there. He also said “Take heart! I have overcome the world.” That’s good news, but how does it actually work? What are we supposed to do trouble comes? This week, we’ll consider what Psalm 91 tells us about trouble.

For the next three weeks we believe God is calling us into a focused, intentional season of worship. We’re asking God for the one thing we need most — His empowering presence. This week we’ll look at a story from John 4 to see what happens when Jesus shows up in the unlikeliest of places to the unlikeliest of people.
