Watermark Church Tampa

This week we will look at Jesus's farewell discourse in the Gospel of John. Jesus declared that he will send the Spirit of God and that the disciples will be given true peace, a peace that comes in paradox and contrary to the Roman Empire. Join us as we dive into John 14!

This week we will be talking about conflict, an ever present force in the church. It was just as present in the first churches as it is today, but Acts 15 gives us a path through it towards discernment and resolution. Join us!

This week we are learning about the council of Jerusalem, where the church had to learn to deal with xenophobia, receiving those who are nothing like them, and the threat of change. Join us!

This week we are talking about Christoformity in leadership, and the role of the spiritual disciplines in the church community as we finish up Acts 14.

Today we will be talking about the thread that runs through both ancient and modern societies: idolatry. Acts 14:8-20

This week we are talking about Christian ethics, and why the apostles in the book of Acts feel that telling the story is so important.

The missionaries in Lukes book are not running around trying to get people to convert to a religion, they were pronouncing the end of the world, that the world as they knew it was over and done!

This week we will be talking about how to become a child of the Devil (obviously not something you want to do). Join us as we move further into Acts 13, where Saul gets a name change and blinds a magician. Its a big one!

This week we are in Acts 13 learning about the ancient church's habit of communal discernment, a practice that offers to change the very fabric of a community (if we will only let it!). Join us.

Jesus said the Kingdom of heaven is many things. This week in Matthew 13:33 we are talking about how the Kingdom of heaven moves about in the quiet hidden ways; many times in ways that are unexpected. Join us!

In Acts 12, Luke offers us a contrast between a king who is filled with death, and a king who is filled with life. We also receive a picture of the kingdoms which both of these kings rule over and how they function. Join us as we wrap up Acts 12.

Luke, in Acts 12, is highlighting that the church has experienced an Exodus from slavery to both earthly kings (Herod) and the overbearing laws of religion (the temple leaders). This week we are talking about how the church has been set free, never again being ruled over by anyone bit Christ; never again submitting to any law but the Spirit of God. Please join us this week, and stick around for th...

This week we are talking about the parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge in Luke 18:1-8. While at first we only see the characters of the widow and the judge, the presence of a third character helps us to understand what Jesus is telling us when he encourages us to "always pray and never lose heart.

This week we are talking about the response of the first Gentile church in Antioch, and their response to the new that a famine was coming, as well as how the work of the teacher and the prophet worked to equip them for this response. We are finishing Acts 11.

Jesus changes our view of God, he always has. And when Jesus changes our view of God, we will have to answer for these changes because we will find ourselves in places where religious people believe that we ought not to be. Peter understood that following Jesus into fellowship with the Gentiles meant breaking the religious laws of Gods people, and yet he knew he had to move forward. The most stunn...

This week we are in Acts 11, talking about how to have a COMMUNAL relationship with Jesus as our COMMUNAL Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Join us!
