Watermark Video: Sunday Messages

Why are some people present with God and others are not? In this message, John Elmore walks through the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son. Through this story, we see God’s heart for both the self-indulgent and the self-righteous.

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.

Our culture would define success as being ‘built different’; this person would be the greatest of all time, a hard worker, gifted in business, athletic abilities, or exceptional talent, and this is reserved for just a select few. Jermaine Harrison shares that in God’s Kingdom, everyone can be ‘built different,’ and it is way more important than the accomplishments of this world.

Listen to Timothy “TA” Ateek share the parable of the Good Samaritan and learn what the point of this story is truly about. No one can come to God without recognizing who they are in God’s eyes. We like to think we are “good enough,” but the Good Samaritan story is intended to provoke humility that leads to eternity with God.

Do you believe that God truly wants us to come to Him in prayer and that He will actually answer? He does, and He will! In this message, John Elmore walks through Jesus’ parable about a friend’s response to a bold request and what it teaches us about God our Father.

Without making an intentional decision, we might fail to give our time this summer to Jesus. In this message, Timothy “TA” Ateek teaches through two parables about the kingdom of heaven: the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value.

Is money the source of your joy, peace, and security? In this message, Watermark Elder Kyle Thompson shares four questions about money and generosity, and the answers to those questions in Scripture. He reminds us that generous living is not a one-time decision but a lifetime of daily discovery of what faithfulness looks like.

Do you ever look at your life and finances and think, “I’ve got it”? In this message, Watermark elder Mickey Friedrich shares about three warnings from Scripture for when we have self-dependence in our stewardship and why we must shift to a dependence on the Lord.

Did you know that Jesus spoke on the topic of money more than the topics of heaven and hell combined? Our relationship with money has a big impact on our spiritual life. Listen as John Cox starts a new series with what Scripture has to say about the connection between money and your heart.

In the conclusion of 1 Peter, we are reminded that we have an enemy, and his goal is to cause us to suffer and fear. 1 Peter 5:6-14 shows us that, when life is H.A.R.D., the prescription is to Humble yourself, make sure your Anxieties are cast, Resist in faith, and trust in the Dominion of God.
