This week's announcements:
Good morning, and happy Sunday! Welcome to our March 1st, 2020 service from La Jolla Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham preaching this week and it’s the first week of the Lenten sermon series titled “Questions Jesus Asked”. Throughout the gospels we find Jesus asking questions. Sometimes he asks questions as he is talking and sometimes he asks questions in response to questions that he had been asked by other people. In the Jewish tradition to be without questions was not a sign of a lack of faith, but a lack of depth. Questions were encouraged and as we watch Jesus teach, we see him asking questions in all sorts of situations. This morning we are looking at the Parable of the Sower, and the sermon is titled, “Don’t You Understand This Parable?” Our Scripture is from Mark chapter 4, verses 1 through 20. If you would like to connect with our church, you can find our website at ljpres.org. We hope to see lives transformed by a relationship with Jesus, and we strive to be a place where you experience and are able to express that transforming love of Christ.
