Open Our Eyes Sermon Series

Here at La Jolla Pres., 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 that are informative, applicable, inviting and transformative.

Welcome to La Jolla Presbyterian Church’s Summer of 2023 Sermon Series! Join us for an inspiring and transformative journey as we dive into three captivating blocks of sermons that will deepen our faith, open our eyes, and reveal God’s perspective on our lives.

This series will encourage us to not only seek God’s gaze upon our lives but also to cultivate a deeper awareness of the world around us. Through engaging sermons, thought-provoking discussions, and practical applications, we will be inspired to view ourselves, others, and our communities through the lens of God’s love and compassion.
