One More Song

La Jolla Presbyterian Church

As we come to the final Sunday of the year, we take time to reflect on all that God has done and look ahead with hope! Continuing our Songs of Christmas series, this week’s message is titled “One More Song,” with a focus on Luke 2:22–38. In this passage, we encounter Simeon and Anna, two faithful witnesses who recognize God’s promise fulfilled in the child Jesus and respond with praise. Their songs remind us that even at the close of a season, God is still at work, fulfilling His promises and bringing light to those who wait. This moment invites us to pause, listen, and offer our own song of faith as the year comes to a close. Pastor Paul Cunningham will lead us as we worship together, closing the year with gratitude and anticipation for the new life God continues to bring.

Sermon Questions: 

1. Where did you find yourself waiting this past year and what did God teach you or show you during that time?

2. If Jesus—not a place or program—is where God’s presence is most fully known, how does that impact the way you worship, serve others, and live out your everyday faith?

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.
