We’re All Being Formed by Something - Sermon 5th October, 2025

La Jolla Presbyterian Church

Have you ever paused to consider how God is forming you right now? Scripture tells us we were made in God’s image, yet His work of shaping us doesn’t stop at birth. God continually transforms us through His Spirit, drawing us closer to His likeness. This shaping often happens in both the ordinary rhythms of life and in the challenges that stretch our faith. Pastor Paul Cunningham will bring this week’s message, “We’re All Being Formed by Something,” from 2 Corinthians 3:1–6, 12–18 as we begin our new Fall series, FORMED. This series invites us to move from being called to understanding how God actively forms us day by day. In Christ, we are shaped not just for ourselves, but for His purposes, becoming a reflection of His glory to the world! Join us as we explore how God’s ongoing work of formation renews us and transforms us for His greater story.

Sermon Questions:

  1. If someone read the “letter” of your life from this past week, what would they learn about you?
  2. What is shaping/forming your life right now? Where does Jesus fit into that?

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.
