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 each.

We’re expectant for all God has ahead in 2026! Let’s finish the year thankful, open-handed, and ready for what’s next.

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 not have the final word.

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.
