Reality S.B. was launched!
Our 3rd campus was launched at 10am this morning!

One of the reservations we were carrying in preparation for the launch was the all too common tendency of a big event to feel like a concert. Really, it’s just our tendency as American consumers to make everything about something that serves our personal needs. But months of prayer blew through consumerism today as many were able to engage God, and be engaged by God as if it were just another wonderful Sunday.
The Psalmist’s words are eerily prophetic for today…
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. (Psalm 63:1-2)
Soli Deo Gloria!

It’s been a blessing watching this happen from afar. Hearing how God directed from the beginning, moving through prayer. I listened to answered prayers as well as the spiritual opposition. The excitement of the body gathering each week as the launch approached pictured a people hungry for God’s fame and direction. Looking with great anticipation of what the Lord will do next especially with Boston coming up.

Thanks for that Rory. Amen.
Amen! I have been praying about this since I first heard of it. A lot has happened to this little gathering since the old days when I used to get to travel down and help lead music at the CCSB Reality college group. I am blessed to see what Jesus is doing through you all. It makes me miss CA.
