//podcastplus.net/feed/christ-pca-temecula~ad730e74 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.

In Mark 7:1-13, Jesus exposes their folly yet offers them hope: a Hope found in His sufficiencies despite our inadequacies. Join us Sunday for “A Tragedy Steeped in Tradition” as we fix our eyes on our one and only hope: Jesus.

We'll discover how His urgency often moves us into uncomfortable situations, how headwinds reveal what's truly in our hearts, and how the Lord reveals Himself powerfully in our deepest fears.

In Mark 6:30–44, we meet Jesus, the true Shepherd, who sees the crowd not as a nuisance but as sheep without a shepherd. He feeds their hearts and stomachs. In this familiar miracle, we see far more than a meal—we see the Messiah who satisfies.
