This week's announcements:
Good morning, and happy Sunday! Welcome to our March 8th, 2020 service from La Jolla Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham preaching this week and it’s the second 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 Peter’s declaration that Jesus is the Messiah, the sermon is titled, “Who Do You Say That I Am?” Our Scripture is from Matthew chapter 16, verses 13 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.
