Timothy "TA" Ateek begins a new series about being on mission with God. If we are going to be a missional church, then our hearts should be synced up with God’s heart.

One day everyone will die, and Jesus’ resurrection gives Christians hope that through Him death is not the end. Even though we die, we can now live because He is also the resurrecting Christ.

And instead of those differences stunting our walk with God, they stir our wonder of God because of his work in Christ to bring all kinds of different people together in him.

Are we, both individually and corporately as a church, led by, filled with, emboldened by the Spirit, and are we all in on what God is doing in Christ by his Spirit at Watermark? Is the Spirit having his way in our lives and in our church for God’s glory in Christ?
