In this message, TA continues the series, “A Bible-Revering Church,” and unpacks what God says about marriage from Ephesians 5:22-33.

Having a reverence for God's Word can drastically change how Christians relate to God and His people.

The list of Jesus in every book in the Bible was adapted from material from JD Greear at the Summit Church, GotQuestions, and Scripture & Story.

In this message, Oren Martin, Senior Director of Equipping and Professor of the Watermark Institute, wraps up our "A Missional Church" series.

In this message, Timothy "TA" Ateek continues the "A Missional Church" series. We want to be a church that is on mission with God. We want to be a people leveraging our lives for the sake of the gospel going to unbelievers in our neighborhoods, gyms, and workplaces, as well as to the places in the world that have never heard the name of Jesus.

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. We take a spiritual EKG by looking at someone in Scripture who did have something wrong with his heart — he didn’t want what God wanted.

Timothy “TA” Ateek celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ by walking through John 11. 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. As a result, Jesus’s resurrection gives us power now for our activity to match our identity and reality.

In this message Dave Bruskas, Director of Re:generation, asks, “What do we do with Good Friday? What should be our response?” He then focuses our attention on the cross of Christ. When we come to Holy Week, we can often run past the cross to the resurrection. But the death of Christ is crucial for us and our salvation.

In this message, Kylen Perry, Director of Young Adults, walks through Ephesians 4 and unpacks how God’s goal for His people isn’t one of uniformity, but unity in Christ. We may play different positions, but we wear the same jersey. Because we belong to Christ, we belong to each other and live that out in our lives together at Watermark. 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?

In this message, John Elmore teaches on the indwelling, sanctification, and illumination of the Holy Spirit.

T.A. invites some friends for a discussion to help us establish a solid foundation regarding the person of the Holy Spirit.

Timothy Ateek begins a new series on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. This series is meant to be a deep dive into the Holy Spirit so that the people of Watermark can more fully understand and experience the Spirit in our lives. We want to be a Spirit-led church.

In the third week of A Praying Church, Timothy Ateek encouraged the body to become a people who know the power, joy, and necessity of prayer.

In the second week of A Praying Church, Timothy Ateek encouraged the body to pair prayer and fasting together to maximize enjoyment in Christ with a goal to develop a growing conviction that nothing is more important than fellowship with God.

This week we begin our new sermon series on the topic of prayer. We want to be a praying church, not just a church that prays. Prayer is the primary pathway to greater intimacy with God and the people who experience the greatest intimacy with God are the people who have tapped into the joy of prayer.

Today was "Vision Sunday," in which Timothy Ateek shared the elder's answer to this question, "What is the most God-glorifying, Christ-exalting, gospel-believing, proclaiming, and advancing version of Watermark?"

A new year is a great time for a new path. From Psalm 1, Marriage & Family Director, Chris Sherrod, shows how God’s people can experience God’s blessing in Christ in 2024.

In this message, Timothy Ateek walks through 1 John and challenges Christians to reflect on our lives in light of the gospel by examining what we believe, how we live, what we love, and where we live.

In this message, John Elmore shows what Jesus came to do and how he came to do it. Jesus came to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God.

Christmas is a reminder of the intensity and intentionality of God’s pursuit of us and the joy that comes from being found. Timothy Ateek begins a new series today called Born. Each week we are looking at an explicit statement in Scripture that unpacks why Jesus was born. Today we see that Jesus was born to seek and to save the lost.

The way the Savior is announced shows how the Savior is to be received. In Luke 1:26-38, Timothy Ateek shows how God’s grace, King, and power show up in Mary’s life, and as a result, everything changes.

In Psalm 23, David gives us a glorious view of God from a sheep’s perspective. From this Psalm, Oren Martin shows how God’s people experience His never-failing faithfulness, care, deliverance, provision and protection because the LORD is “My Shepherd.”

We want our life to count. John Elmore leads us through 1 Chronicles 28-29 as we see David's last words to leave a legacy for others.

These chapters look at the most painful years of David’s life. Pastor Timothy Ateek guides us through snapshots in David’s life from chapters 15-18, and helps us find 5 keys to surviving the painful days, weeks, and years of life.

In this Psalm from David's life, John Elmore shows us how the Lord saves through the sacrificial life and death of Jesus, who died for our sins and was raised from the dead so that His people might share of His great salvation with those who need saving from their sin.

The story of David in 2 Samuel 12 shows us four things that God does to rescue His people from sin. He sees sin, interrupts sin, sobers us to sin, and in His extravagant grace prevails over sin through Christ.

The story of David and Bathsheba shows us David’s sin and failure to take God at His Word. Despite all the progress David made in establishing God’s kingdom in fulfillment of his covenant promises, David is not God’s forever king who will finally usher in God’s people into God’s place and presence. In this passage, we see the enemy within, cycles of sin, and Jesus wins.

How do we find lasting security in times of distress? From Psalm 16, Jonathan Linder shows how David chose God as his confidence, treasure, and counsel. Now, through faith in the greater David, Jesus Christ, Christians can have God as their confidence, treasure, and counsel, for Jesus experienced and overcame the fullness of death through his perfect life, death, burial, and resurrection so that we can experience fullness of joy in His presence both now and forever.
