We strive for sermons and teaching that is informative, applicable, inviting, and transformative.

It Starts With Praise - Sermon for September 13th, 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it look like to become more like Jesus for the sake of the world around us? This Sunday, we begin a new series through Ephesians, exploring how God’s grace shapes us individually and together as the church so that the love and mercy of Jesus become visible through our lives. We begin with “It Starts With Praise,” based on Ephesians 1:1-10. As Paul celebrates the spiritual blessings we have received through Christ, we’ll discover how the practice of praise turns our attention toward God and begins to shape the way we see ourselves, one another, and the world.
Sermon Questions:
1. Who around me might need to experience some of the kindness and generosity God has shown me?
2. Prayer Practice – Praise – What would it look like for me to be intentional about praising God 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.
