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.

Joy To The World
Joy is at the center of the Christmas story, which bursts into the world with the arrival of Jesus. As we celebrate the second week of Advent and continue our series Songs of Christmas, we look at the carol “Joy to the World” and the words of Psalm 98, where creation is invited to rejoice because the Lord has come to make all things right! This carol proclaims not only the birth of Christ long ago, but the continuous work of His Kingdom in our lives today, a joy that transforms hearts and restores hope. This Sunday is also a special time in our church family as we give thanks for 120 years of ministry and worship here at La Jolla Presbyterian. As we celebrate God’s past faithfulness and look ahead in hope, we remember that Christ continues to be our strength and song. Join us as Pastor Paul Cunningham leads us, celebrating the joy that Christ brings to the world and to His Church, generation after generation.
Sermon Questions:
1. Is there a place where I need to choose joy even though my circumstances have not changed - and what steps could I take toward choosing joy?
2. What is a practical way you could express God’s joy or hope to someone else this week?
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.
