No Lingering on the Mountain - Sermon March 2nd, 2025

La Jolla Presbyterian Church

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Gospel of Mark series with a sermon titled "No Lingering on the Mountain." Rev. Paul Cunningham will lead us through Mark 9:2-13, where Jesus is transfigured before His disciples. This moment on the mountain reveals His divine glory, yet Jesus calls His followers back to the valley, to the reality of faith in action. In a world where we often long for mountaintop experiences, this passage challenges us not to linger in comfort but to embrace the journey of discipleship. How do we carry the light of Christ into the everyday struggles of life? How does this moment prepare us to follow Him faithfully? Come and reflect on this powerful encounter as we discover what it means to follow Jesus beyond the mountain. 

Questions to consider:

  1. Is there a situation in your life that you need to “intentionally” bring to Jesus?
  2. How does the suffering that Jesus endured help you in your own times of struggle and suffering?

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
