Coast Community Church (of Santa Barbara)

Acts 9: 1-19 When we come face to face with Jesus, life can never be the same.

Empty is usually always a bad thing...except when it's not.

Jesus' life calls us to worship and offers us a pattern by which we ought to live our lives.

In our journey of faith God is our greatest resource for assistance.

The gospel reveals to us the reconciling intent of God and the work of reconciliation he invites us to share in.

Our confidence in God allows us to be humble before him.

The uniqueness of the Christian life takes its form from the way of the cross which instructs us in faith, love, and hope.

The transfiguration invites us to greater faith while also wrestling with our unbelief.

The love of our enemies is an essential mark for the Christian way of life.

Jesus sermon on the plain in Luke's gospel offers us some reflections on blessings and woes.

Jesus enters into our very ordinary lives with a tremendous amount of wisdom and insight. Are we open to hearing it? (The first 5 minutes of the sermon were not recorded due to technical issues. You should be able to follow the sermon without it. Apologies.)

Jesus' odd first miracle reveals his identity as the long awaited messiah. Through him things will be transformed and renewed.

The words the Father speaks to Jesus are the words he speaks to you today. They are meant to be impressed on our hearts and our lives.

In the person of Jesus we discover what God is actually like. Anyone who seeks this truth will discover great joy.

Christmas Eve offers us the greatest annoucnement the world has ever received.

How might we best encourage one another in faith? How might we best respond to God in faith? Elizabeth and Mary offer us a practice for each.

In the midst of all that is to be reflected upon during the advent season we cannot forget joy.

Advent is a time of the year in which we prepare our hearts and lives to receive Christ anew, and it requires intentional effort.

Christ the King Sunday serves as a great day to reflect on where you are in allowing Christ to direct and rule your life. Our hearts are easily co-opted by the world. Jesus calls us to let him reign in our lives.
