Beauty In The Brokenness - Sermon 2nd November, 2025
Even in seasons of weakness, God’s power is at work - shaping, refining, and revealing His beauty through our brokenness. In 2 Corinthians 4:7–18, the Apostle Paul reminds us that we carry this treasure of God’s light in fragile jars of clay, showing that the power comes from Him, not from us. Though we may be “hard pressed on every side,” we are never abandoned. Through suffering and struggle, the life of Jesus is revealed in us, even in our frailty. Pastor Paul Cunningham will share this week’s message, “Beauty in the Brokenness.” God’s forming work often happens in the places we least expect. What feels fragile to us becomes the very space where His glory shines brightest. Join us as we discover how God’s grace strengthens and gives purpose to the broken pieces of our story.
Sermon Questions:
1. Has there been a time in your own faith journey where you have seen God’s beauty emerge from something that was broken? How has that impacted who you are today?
2. How can you fix your eyes on Jesus and not lose heart when things appear dark or uncertain…or…is there someone in your life who is walking through a dark or uncertain time and could benefit from you coming alongside them?
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.
