Shadows are part of every life. Grief leaves a mark, aging reminds us how fragile we are, and some days feel heavier than others. The season of Lent invites us to slow down, reflect honestly on these realities, and remember that we do not walk through them alone. In our new Lent series, Shadows and Daybreak, we explore how God meets us in life’s shadowed places with presence, community, and hope! In this week’s message, “Shadowlands,” Pastor Paul Cunningham reflects on Mark 8:22–33, where Jesus heals a blind man  and then teaches His disciples about what it means to see and follow Him. As Peter struggles to understand Jesus’ path, we’re reminded that faith often unfolds gradually, moving from limited understanding toward deeper trust, even when the road ahead feels uncertain. Join us this Sunday as we worship and journey through Lent together.

Sermon Questions: 
1. Who would you say Jesus is?
2. Do you need to ask Jesus to help you see something more clearly?

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.
