“Christ: The Cornerstone of Our Relationships!”
Guest Preacher: Andrew Ojeda
Scripture: Matthew 11:2-6

This Sunday, LCPC Director of Student Ministries Andrew Ojeda will reflect on “Christ: the Cornerstone of Our Relationships,” based on Matthew 11:2–6. As John the Baptist wrestled with questions and uncertainty, Jesus pointed to the evidence of God’s restoring work: the blind see, the lame walk, and good news is proclaimed. Join us as we consider how Christ gives strength, hope, and a firm foundation for the relationships that shape our lives.

“God's Help for Fear of Rejection”
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Tim Beal
Scripture: Psalm 23 and Romans 8:31-39

In a world that often measures our worth by approval, performance, and acceptance, Psalm 23 reminds us that the Lord is our Shepherd—present, attentive, and committed to leading us through every valley. Romans 8:31-39 strengthens that assurance by declaring that if God is for us, no rejection, criticism, or spiritual opposition can ultimately define us or separate us from His love. Because Christ has already been given for us, we can face the fear of rejection with confidence, knowing that our identity is secure not in human opinion, but in the unbreakable love of God.

“God's Help for Indecision”
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Tim Beal
Scripture: Psalm 23 and James 1:5-8

When we find ourselves paralyzed by indecision, unsure which path to take or fearful of choosing wrong, Scripture assures us that we are not left to figure it out alone. Psalm 23 reminds us that the Lord is our Shepherd, leading us beside quiet waters and guiding us along right paths—not because we always know what to do, but because He is faithful and near. James 1:5–8 calls us to bring our confusion honestly before God, asking Him for wisdom with a sincere, trusting heart, confident that He gives generously without finding fault. In seasons of mixed motives, swirling options, and second-guessing, God invites us to shift our focus from “Which option is safest?” to “Whom am I trusting?” As we fix our eyes on the Shepherd and ask boldly for His wisdom, He steadies our hearts, clarifies our next step, and walks with us through uncertainty, turning indecision into deeper dependence on Him.
