This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham brings a message titled A Friend of Jesus, based on John 15:9-17. In this powerful passage, Jesus invites His disciples into a relationship marked by love, obedience, and friendship. As He teaches them to remain in His love and to love one another with the same sacrificial love He has shown them, we discover that friendship with Jesus is not simply a title but a way of living, one that shapes our relationships and calls us to reflect His love in the world. Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to live as a friend of Jesus!

Sermon Questions: 
1. Do I need to let ‘someone in’?
2. Do I need to ‘refresh’ someone?
3. Is there a ‘seasonal’ friendship that I need to renew?

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.
