La Jolla Presbyterian Church Sermons
We want to see lives transformed through a relationship with Jesus. One way we witness that is by sharing God’s Story and equipping you to share His story as well.
We strive for sermons and teaching that is informative, applicable, inviting, and transformative.
Sunday morning messages, plus other Bible studies, classes, and special events. We are a welcoming, Bible based, Christian Church, and would love to worship with you.

A New Humanity - Sermon for October 4th, 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it take to bring people together when so much seems to divide us? This Sunday, we look at Ephesians 2:11–22 and Paul’s powerful picture of Jesus as the one who breaks down the walls that separate us. Through Christ, those who were once divided are reconciled to God and to one another, creating what Paul calls “one new humanity.” Our prayer practice this week will focus on reconciliation, inviting us to consider where God may be calling us to seek healing, forgiveness, or restored relationships. And at Communion, we’ll be reminded that in Christ we are no longer strangers, but members of one family, brought together by His grace.
Sermon Questions:
- Where am I holding onto resentment and how can I give that over to Jesus?
- Prayer Practice: Reconciliation - Reflect on how God’s reconciling work on your behalf should shape your relationship with others.
