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.

Enduring the Shamr (Mark 15:16-32) - The Gospel of Mark
3w agoTap 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
4w agoTap 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.
Transcribe →True Grit (Mark 14:26-31) - The Gospel of Mark
May 3Tap to summarizeOn the road to the Mount of Olives, Jesus says, “You will all fall away.” Peter does not take that well. What follows is a tragic scene of a man so convinced of his own strength that he walks right past the grace intended to sustain him. This Sunday, we’ll see why the grit we need cannot come from within, but must be given to us in Christ.
Transcribe →Table Talk )Mark 14:12-26) - The Gospel of Mark
Apr 26Tap to summarizeIn Mark 14:12–26, on the night of the Passover, Jesus gathers with His disciples in a room. At that table, everything is revealed. A betrayer is exposed; hearts are searched. Then Jesus takes bread and a cup, and offers not just a meal, but Himself: His body and blood given for His people.
Transcribe →The Belle of the Ball (Mark 14:1-11) - The Gospel of Mark
Apr 12Tap to summarizeThis Sunday as the events move to the cross, the plot against Jesus is already in motion. And in the middle of it all, an woman walks into a room with a quiet act of costly devotion.Mark 14:1–11 demonstrates the difference between rejecting Jesus, using Jesus, and truly worshiping Him.
Transcribe →Our King Comes (Psalm 24) - Songs of Easter
Mar 29Tap to summarizeWhat does it mean to live with hope in an anxious world? Psalm 24 answers by lifting our eyes to a King who comes. Not a distant or fragile king, but the King of glory, who owns all things, who makes a way for sinners to come near, and who has already won the decisive battle over sin and death.
Transcribe →Hope on the Horizon (Mark 13:14-37) - The Gospel of Mark
Mar 22Tap to summarizeIn Mark 13, Jesus speaks about a world that will feel unstable, disorienting, and overwhelming. He does not hide the reality of difficulties we will face, nor does He leave us without hope. Instead, He fixes our eyes on what is certain. His Word will not pass away, and He Himself will come again in power and glory.
