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.

Easter at Watermark 2024 // John 11:17-44 // Watermark Community Church

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.

Why Talk About the Holy Spirit? // John 14:16-26 // Watermark Community 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.

Becoming a Praying Church // Matthew 21:12-13

Pastor TA begins a new series on a praying church. Prayer is the primary pathway to greater intimacy with God. The people who experience the greatest intimacy with God are the people who have tapped into the joy of prayer. Watermark Community Church wants to be a praying church.

Becoming A Praying Person // Matthew 6:5-9 // Watermark Community Church

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.

Born to Destroy the Works of the Devil // 1 John 2:28-3:10 // Watermark Community Church

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.

Born to Preach the Good News // Luke 4:42-44 // Watermark Community Church

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.

Born to Seek and Save the Lost // Luke 19:1-10 // Watermark Community Church

The way the Savior is announced shows how the Savior is to be received. In Luke 1:26-38, Pastor Timothy Ateek shows how God’s grace, King, and power show up in Mary’s life, and as a result everything changes. God’s certain plans are that Jesus would be born. The only thing Mary is told to do is to call the baby Jesus. Otherwise, God is the one who does all the work by the power of his Spirit. In this saving event, the eternal Son of God took on flesh in the person of Jesus. And yet, he was born to die so that we might live.

Salvation is Here // Luke 1:26-38 // Watermark Community Church

2 Samuel 7 is one of the most important chapters in the life of David – and the entire Bible. In this message, Timothy “TA” Ateek teaches through a story that begins with David’s plans and culminates with God showing His plans to be far greater than anything David could’ve imagined.

God's Better Plans // 2 Samuel 7:1 - 17 // Watermark Community Church

2 Samuel 5 displays David walking and living in the “sweet spot” of God’s will as God, in his timing, makes him king over Israel. David displayed his trust in the Lord by knowing God’s priorities, bring filled with God’s Spirit, and seeking God’s direction. David, however, was not perfect and sinfully took wives he should not have taken, which points beyond David to the greater David, Jesus, who will perfectly do God’s will to bring salvation to his people.

Living in God's Will // 2 Samuel 5:1-25 // Watermark Community Church

A recent message from The Life of David sermon series.

Trusting God When Wronged // 1 Samuel 24:1-15 // Watermark Community Church

How we handle other people’s success reveals what we truly believe about God and His will for us. Do we try to rule over our lives, or do we recognize that a true and loving King reigns over it all for our good and His glory? Timothy Ateek teaches through 1 Samuel 18 and gives three ways to respond to God’s will.

Dealing with Other’s Success // 1 Samuel 18:1-16 // Watermark Community Church

The familiar story of David and Goliath was really God’s story that David was a part of. In this message, John Elmore reminds us that the Lord is the one who saves. We all face things that we are powerless to overcome, but the gospel hope is that Jesus, the Son of David, is our giant-slayer.

God and Goliath // 1 Samuel 17:37-47 // Watermark Community Church

David is the Old Testament character that is spoken about most in the Bible. He wrote one of the most famous chapters in the Bible (Psalm 23) and is featured in other well-known Bible stories. He is also called “a man after God’s own heart.” In this message, however, Timothy “TA” Ateek points out that the most important thing about David is the way he is connected to and foreshadows Jesus Christ.

Syncing Up With God’s Plans // 1 Samuel 16:1-23 // Watermark Community Church

Pray Through to God’s Breakthrough // Luke 18:1-8 // Watermark Community Church

Do you ever struggle with performance or comparing yourself with others? In this message, Blake Holmes will help us to look at the parable of the Pharisee and tax collector. This parable is ultimately a story about Jesus warning us against the spiritual pride in all of us and how it blinds us from the truth.

The Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector // Luke 18:9-14 // Watermark Community Church

As we look at the parable of the talents, what is clear is that one day we will stand before Jesus and give an account for how we have lived the one life He has given us to live. If you were to die tonight and stand before Jesus, what do you expect His response to be? Learn more at https://www.watermark.org/message/10127-dont-waste-your-life-matthew-25-14-30.

Don’t Waste Your Life // Matthew 25:14-30 // Watermark Community Church

Do you struggle with unforgiveness? For anyone who is in Christ, living in unforgiveness is nothing short of hypocrisy. But Jesus has provided forgiveness for each person’s insurmountable debt of sin. Therefore, God calls us to forgive one another as Christ forgave us. John Elmore unpacks The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant.

The Forgiven Forgive // Matthew 18:21-35 // Watermark Community Church

Are you more naturally a rule breaker or a rule follower? In this message, Timothy (TA) Ateek helps us continue to look at the parable of the two sons in Luke 15. This parable is ultimately a story about how rule breakers and rule followers interact with the grace of a perfect heavenly Father.

A Warning to Rule Followers // Luke 15:25-32 // Watermark Community Church

Marvin Walker explains that the focus of the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:1-9 is not the sower, but rather the various types of soil. This parable shows us that the seed of the gospel is not ineffective, but if it’s planted in the wrong type of soil, the consequences can be painful and even deadly.
