Christ PCA Temecula
Hosted by Christ Presbyterian Church · EN
Christ Presbyterian Church (christpca.net) began in 2005 as a small Bible study made up of people who wanted to see a new Christ-centered church in the Temecula Valley. That original vision is still intact and on display every Sunday. When you worship with us, you are brought face to face with Jesus—his life, his death, his ministry for us today at the right hand of God, and his coming again. We fervently believe that our lives need to be shaped by the message of Jesus, what the Bible calls “the gospel,” because it is only as we are formed and reformed by that good news that we are able to love God and love our neighbor.

Jesus’ Invitation to Rest (Matthew 11:25-30) - Not Part of a Series
2w agoTap to summarizeIn Matthew 11, Jesus praises the Father for hiding His redemptive plan from the proud, but makes Himself known to infants and the humble. All of this lays the foundation for Jesus’ invitation to rest. Like the infants, Jesus is gentle and humble and offers this rest (His grace) to those who know they are weary and burdened by sin and life in a fallen world.

3w agoTap to summarizeJacob is a man who in many ways has everything he's ever wanted, yet he still hasn't found what he's looking for. And there in the darkness of that moment, our God chooses to do a curious thing: wrestle with Jacob until the breaking of the dawn.

Transcribe →His Heart Beats (Mark 16:1-8) - The Gospel of Mark
4w agoTap to summarizeWe have reached the end of the Gospel of Mark. It is a strange ending. No triumphant march. No ribbon tied neatly on the story. Just three women, an empty tomb, and a Gospel that closes with trembling and silence.
Transcribe →Our Light in Darkness (Mark 15:33-47) - The Gospel of Mark
Jun 14Tap to summarizeLife is a mixed bag of light and darkness. We know the joy of God's blessings, but we also know the pain of loss, disappointment, suffering, and grief. What hope do we have when the darkness lingers and the stars seem to disappear?
Transcribe →Enduring the Shamr (Mark 15:16-32) - The Gospel of Mark
Jun 7Tap to summarizeWe arrive at the cross. There is noise: soldiers mock, crowds jeer, religious leaders scoff, and dying criminals revile Jesus. Curiously, Mark spends more time recording the contempt surrounding Jesus than describing the crucifixion itself. And that is not by accident. This Sunday in Mark 15, we will see how Jesus endured the shame.
Transcribe →Pleasing the Crowd (Mark 15:1-15) - The Gospel of Mark
May 31Tap to summarizeJesus stands before Pontius Pilate. The crowd is demanding crucifixion. The religious leaders are driven by envy, and the Roman governor sees clearly what is right yet chooses comfort over conviction. In many ways, Pilate’s struggle is painfully familiar. What happens when faithfulness becomes costly? What do we do when the truth disrupts our carefully managed lives?
Transcribe →The Man of the Hour (Mark 14:53-72) - The Gospel of Mark
May 24Tap to summarizeIt is well past midnight. In the high priest's residence, the Sanhedrin has assembled, hunting for a charge. In the courtyard below, Peter warms himself at a fire, trying to look inconspicuous. He has followed Jesus: close enough to keep him in sight, yet careful and quiet enough not to be named as a follower. And at the center, under arrest and abandoned by his friends stands our Savior.
Transcribe →Mayhem’s Messiah (Mark 14:43-52) - The Gospel of Mark
May 17Tap to summarizeMark 14:43–52 is one of the darkest and chaotic moments in the Gospels, filled with betrayal, fear and swords. Friends scatter. Everything feels unstable and undone. And yet right in the middle of the chaos stands Jesus, calm, clear, and utterly resolute as He walks toward the cross for sinners like us.
Transcribe →A Gracious Savior & His Sleepy Disciples (Mark 14:32-42) - The Gospel of Mark
May 10Tap to summarizeJesus has moved through Mark's Gospel with remarkable composure. But in Mark 14, He falls to the ground, and begins to tremble. Mark gives an intimate glimpse into the interior life of our Savior. We will see what undid Him, why He went to the cross despite praying for another way, and who it was all for.
