Watermark Sunday Messages

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.
