Watermark Sunday Messages

In this message, Dave Bruskas walks through Peter’s sermon at Pentecost to help us better understand who Jesus is and why his life, death, and resurrection matter. The sermon shows that while God was at work through Jesus, our sin made the cross necessary. When the crowd realizes this, they ask what to do next, and Peter calls them to repent, be baptized, and follow Jesus. For us today, the invita...

In Sunday’s message from Acts 2, we were reminded that while Pentecost was a unique moment in history, the work of the Holy Spirit did not stop there. Acts 2 shows us a church alive by the Spirit—marked by a shared enjoyment of God’s presence, an urgency for mission, and a sense of awe at what God is doing.

In Sunday’s message from Acts 1, TA reminded us that the Christian life and mission are never meant to be lived in our own strength. Before sending the disciples out as witnesses, Jesus told them to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. Acts 1 shows us that waiting is not passive; it is purposeful preparation for God’s power.

On Sunday, December 28, we won’t gather at the Dallas Campus for our usual services—but church is still on. Church at Home Sunday is your chance to slow down, gather your people, start the new year prayerfully, and get a taste of what church was like in the early first-century Church. In the video below, you will be guided through Watermark’s 10 markers and be given time to reflect with your group...

On Christmas Eve, we were reminded that Christmas is not only about looking back at the birth of Jesus, but also about looking forward to what his birth makes possible. God gives us a glimpse of eternity and “spoils the surprise” by revealing the gift awaiting everyone who knows Jesus: a new creation.

In Sunday’s message from Hebrews 2, Tyler Moffett reminded us how easy it is to get distracted during Christmas and forget the name this season is really about. Hebrews shows us Jesus is greater than we can comprehend, and yet he went lower than we can imagine.

In Sunday’s message, TA walked through Titus 2, reminding us that Christmas is the celebration of the grace of God appearing in Jesus Christ and that grace is meant to be enjoyed, not ignored.

Philippians 2 shows us Christmas from God’s perspective. Jesus was fully God, yet he emptied himself by taking on our humanity and came all the way down to reach us.

2 Corinthians 5 shows us how to be a bright and attractive light for Jesus in a dark world.

In Romans 5, Paul reveals one prize after another for knowing Jesus Christ. Before Christ, we were enemies of God and at war with him, but through Jesus, the war with God is over, and we now live in a realm where grace reigns.

In this week’s message, Timothy Ateek taught through the book of Acts and highlighted ten characteristics that defined the early Christian church.

This week’s message addressed the painful and complex topic of abuse (especially within marriage). God sees, protects, and provides for the oppressed, and his Word speaks directly to both the abused and the abuser. Jesus not only condemns abuse—he entered into our brokenness, endured abuse himself, and offers healing and hope to both the wounded and the repentant. In his kingdom, oppression will n...

Gregg Matte, Senior Pastor of Houston’s First Baptist Church, taught on Matthew 7:24-29, where Jesus finishes the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus teaches the people that he is the solid rock and a firm foundation, unlike anything else we may attempt to build upon.

In Luke 24, we’re reminded that it’s possible to be around Jesus without truly seeing him. But when the Spirit opens our eyes through the Word, we see him clearly, and seeing Jesus always leads to worship.

Time with Jesus must come before service for Jesus. When we sit with Jesus, our service becomes joyful, Spirit-led, and rooted in love—not frustration or self-reliance.

Chip Ingram joined us on Sunday to remind us that just as we have dreams in our hearts for our children, so does Jesus for his Church. He longs to see high-impact churches across the globe. When his children become mature disciples, his dream becomes reality.

TA continues our Year of the Word series by reminding us that when life feels heavy and overwhelming, Jesus extends a simple but profound invitation: “Come to me.” He doesn’t promise to remove every burden, but to give rest for our souls and refreshment that only comes from being with him.

Davis Powell, CEO of the Seed Company, joined us to remind us that the genealogy in Scripture is more than a list of names. It declares that God has kept his word. From Abraham to David to Mary, every covenant and prophecy points to Christ, the Savior for all nations.

Continuing our Year of the Word series, TA explains how God’s plan has always included every people and nation by walking us through Revelation 7:9–17, reminding us that Jesus’ death and resurrection secured salvation for people from every background.

Evil is not just a political or cultural problem. It’s a spiritual one. TA continues our Year of the Word series by walking us through Genesis 3. In it, we see the enemy’s lies that led Adam and Eve to reject God’s design and redefine good on their own terms.

In this message, TA walks through Daniel 7 and explores what Scripture says about the end times. While there are different theological perspectives on how to interpret apocalyptic passages, they all point to Jesus’ return and his eternal reign. The passage reminds us not to get lost in speculation but to live with confidence and humility, knowing that in the end, God wins.

In this message, TA explores two theological frameworks for understanding Israel and the Church: Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology. While not an essential of the faith, many scholars debate how much continuity or discontinuity there is between the Old Testament and the New Testament regarding Israel and the church.

TA continues our Year of the Word series by walking us through Ezekiel 37 and the vision of the valley of dry bones. These bones coming to life show that God brings the spiritually dead back to life through his Spirit. This prophecy points to Israel’s restoration, the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost, and the new life believers receive in Christ today.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 is one the Bible’s clearest explanations of the New Covenant. As TA noted, this New Covenant promises a new heart and a new start to all God’s people. Under the New Covenant, God commits to writing his law upon his people’s hearts, dwelling with them intimately, and forgiving their sin.

TA continues the Year of the Word series with a focus on Psalm 63, reminding us that we need God’s presence more than his gifts. When we learn to “gaze” at Jesus instead of just “glance,” we discover that he’s not only sufficient, he’s better.
