Getting Closer To Jesus - Sermon 19th Jan, 2025

La Jolla Presbyterian Church

We continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark with an inspiring message titled 'Getting Closer to Jesus,' based on Mark 3:7-19, focusing on verses 14-15. In this passage, Jesus calls the twelve disciples to be with Him, equipping them to share His message and extend His healing to others.

Rev. Paul Cunningham will share this powerful message, reminding us of Jesus' deep desire for closeness with each of us. Just as the disciples were invited into a relationship with Him, we, too, are called to draw nearer, embrace His purpose, and live out our faith. Together, we'll reflect on His grace and grow in our connection to Him. 

Questions to consider:
1. What are the implications of being God’s “beloved”?
2. What is one thing you can do this week to move closer to Jesus?

We want to connect with you! Email Pastor Chad at chadf@ljpres.org to get plugged in or you can find our website at ljpres.org/connect. 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.

It builds our faith to help give back a portion of what God has given us. If you would like to help further His work in La Jolla, San Diego and the world you can give online at LJPres.org/Donate.
