Watermark Sunday Messages

When you hear about evil acts and tragedies in the world (or experience them in your own life), you might wonder, “God, why don’t You do something?” In such times, it is good to be reminded that God will do something, that He is doing something, and that He already has done something.

The ultimate purpose of marriage is to put the glory of God on display to an unbelieving world. Marriage is important to God, so He calls us to fight for it. Timothy “TA” Ateek turns to 1 Corinthians 7:1-16 to discuss ways to safeguard your marriage and stay in your marriage to glorify God.

The ultimate point and purpose of our lives is to glorify God. One of the areas we struggle most to do this is in the area of sexuality. We live in a culture that prioritizes gratifying self instead of glorifying God. Timothy “TA” Ateek turns to 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 to identify five keys to glorifying God with your body in regard to sex.

How can the institutions of marriage and family be a part of restoring our culture to God’s original design? As we take a break from our 1 Corinthians series, Chris Sherrod, Watermark’s new Director of Marriage and Family, shows us how to love completely, train intentionally, and testify personally so that every generation is equipped to teach the next generation about the wondrous works of God.

What does it look like for Christians to resolve significant conflicts with each other in significant ways? In the ninth week of our 1 Corinthians series, Timothy Ateek shows us four reasons why conflict is an inevitable opportunity.

When was the last time you pointed out sin in a fellow Christian’s life and helped them to repent from it? As we continue our 1 Corinthians series with a look at 1 Corinthians 5, John Elmore shows us how the sinfulness of sin, the impact of grace, and the call to shepherd are essential to the health of the body of Christ.

Do people see God at work in your life? For Easter, Timothy “TA” Ateek uses 1 Corinthians 15 to help renew our appreciation of the resurrection so that we can apply it to how we live our lives. The resurrection of Jesus is the fact our faith is built on. Because of the resurrection, you can have freedom from your past, power in the present, and hope for the future.

The Lord’s Supper, or communion, is so much more than just some words to recite and a small wafer and cup to eat and drink. In this Good Friday service, John Elmore helps us more fully understand the gravity, depth, and richness of the cross and how we remember it through the Lord’s Supper.

Do you sacrificially steward your life so that lost people can be introduced to Jesus? Picking back up in our sermon series 1 Corinthians, John Elmore shows us how to order our lives for the purpose of Christ, in the plot twists of Christ, and by the power of Christ.

Do you feel empowered and equipped to share your faith? Taking a short break in our 1 Corinthians series, Timothy “TA” Ateek uses 2 Corinthians 5 to provide clarity around our mentality, message, mission, and motivation in proclaiming the gospel to those who need to hear it.
