Just before Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, Mark tells us about a strange miracle; the only time Jesus doesn't heal someone completely on the first try. A blind man receives partial sight, seeing "people, but they look like trees, walking," before Jesus gets it right the second time. This Sunday we'll see how Jesus patiently works to open our eyes completely—helping us see who He is.

When Lost is Found (Mark 8:31-9:1) - The Gospel of Mark

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.
