What does it mean to experience the unity that Jesus prayed for? Before His arrest and crucifixion, Jesus lifted His eyes in prayer, not only for His disciples but for everyone who would one day believe in Him. This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham's message, One, explores John 17:20-26, where Jesus prays that His followers would share in the same unity and love that exists between the Father and the Son. More than simply getting along, this unity reflects God's presence, reveals His love to the world, and bears witness to the transforming power of the Gospel. Join us this Sunday as we discover what it means to live as one in Christ.

Sermon Questions: 

1. Who do I need to do a better job of loving (extending charity to) right now?

2. Think about a recent disagreement. Were you trying to understand where the other person was coming from, or were you more focused on your own way of thinking?

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.
