Hype Or Hope? - Sermon 16th March, 2025
Are we caught up in the spectacle or anchored in something deeper? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Paul dives into this question with his sermon, "Hype or Hope," focusing on Mark 11:1-11. This passage captures Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event marked by public adulation and festivity, yet layered with profound spiritual significance. As the crowds spread their cloaks and wave palm branches, their shouts of "Hosanna" reflect high expectations of a political savior. However, Jesus enters not as a warrior on a horse but in humility, riding on a donkey. This juxtaposition raises important questions about our own perceptions of Jesus: Are we looking for a hero to solve immediate problems, or are we placing our hope in His promise of deeper, lasting salvation?
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.
