Christ Presbyterian Church

Jesus, the risen Lord and life-giving Spirit, breathes His resurrection life into our labor!

In a world that often measures worth by performance and success, Scripture calls us to something far greater. From 1 Peter 2:1–12, Pastor James Pavlic reminds us that as citizens of heaven, we’ve been issued “temporary work visas” on earth—to reflect the goodness and glory of our King through our daily work. Our vocation is not merely a means of income, but a divine assignment to proclaim God’s ex...

In Christ our work finds the right aim, attitude, and audience: to and for the Lord.

Jesus' life legitimizes all lawful vocations.

In Christ we can work from true rest.

Christ redeems the toil of our work.

God's design for work is not a curse, but a blessing...we works because God works.

Christ: The Standard, Substance, and Logos.

Jesus gave up His riches to make us His treasure so that, by the Spirit, we might live free from anxiety and joyfully seek Him as our treasure.

Jesus is the Faithful Witness who teaches and makes His disciples those who rely upon the Holy Spirit to be faithful witnesses of Him.

Parable of the Two Lost Sons

Jesus, through the power of the cross, became our uncleanness so that we could be made clean...both inside and out.

In Christ, your life and work shine as a foretaste of God’s certain restoration.

Jesus, the Light of the world, willingly entered the darkness of judgment on the cross, so that we, in Him, might become children of the Light.

Jesus is the Stronger Man who frees us to enter His Kingdom through His Cross.

Because God is the greatest Giver, we should shamelessly ask, seek, and knock, trusting Him to give us Himself for our good and others.

Christians are called to be "neighborly" to everyone, not only to our family and friends, but even our enemies.

Jesus Teaches us to live in daily dependence on the Father for provision, pardon, and protection: resting in His grace, empowered by His Spirit, and shaped by the gospel.

Prayer is not a performance but the natural breath of a child of God which is made possible through Christ's person and work, empowered by the Spirit, and expressing our identity as beloved sons and daughters who live in grace-filled communion wit the Father.

Life is fleeting, but in Christ, we are secure. The eternal God has become our dwelling place, redeeming our time, satisfying our hearts, and enabling lives of humble dependence and lasting fruitfulness.

Clothed in Christ and empowered by the Spirit, we pray not in fear but with confident dependence, standing firm in the spiritual battle through the armor of God.

Because God dwells with us now and forever, we are called to live as a Spirit-filled people who embody His healing, light, and reign together.

What are we waiting for?

As God's covenant family, we are to love one another in such a visible and Christlike way that the watching world sees we belong to Jesus.

Because Jesus gave Himself fully for us and gave us His Spirit, we are empowered to live visibly devoted lives and worship and fellowship as God's covenant family.
