Jesus has extended us the ultimate invitation — one where we can lay down our burdens and enjoy true rest in relationship with Him. This week, our Lead Pastor Timothy "TA" Ateek points to Matthew 11:28-30 to remind us that we shouldn't settle for anything less than full satisfaction through our Savior.

How do we respond when Jesus says, "Follow Me"? What does it even mean to follow him? This week, Kylen Perry dives into Luke 5:1-11 to show us the response we ought to have when we encounter Jesus. Following Jesus has a cost but nothing is worth keeping if it keeps us from Jesus.

How should we think about ourselves as children of God? True significance isn’t found in who you are; it’s found in who God is. This week, Kylen Perry refers to the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3 to remind us that we won't feel worthy until God enters our story.

Do we look for the path of least resistance when God is calling us to follow the path that leads to Him? This week, our guest speaker Nate Hilgenkamp, young adults and teaching pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, takes us to 2 Samuel 15 & 18 to remind us that God doesn’t promise easy, instead He’s given us a Kingdom purpose in enemy territory.

This week, we welcomed John Cox, Watermark's executive pastor, and Caitlin Van Wagoner, Watermark's senior communications director, on stage with Kylen Perry to share Biblical truths and practical wisdom they've learned over the course of their careers.

Following Jesus isn't a solo sport, and we're called to pass the baton of faith on to those around us. But how do we do this well? This week, Josiah Jones walks through Hebrews 12 to show us lessons he's learned from Scripture and a life of ministry on how to live out the mission we've been called to.

We often want to find our purpose in our work, but God has already filled our jobs with purpose. This week, Kylen Perry refers to Ephesians 6 to show us that we've been instructed in how to work well in a world that wants us to work with an agenda.

The Bible uses a lot of “family” language, but what does it mean that we’re a part of God’s family? This week, Oren Martin, Watermark’s Senior Director of Equipping, points to Mark 3:20-35 to show us how Jesus is making a new family of God on earth gathered around Himself — and he’s doing it with outsiders.

How we relate to Jesus says a lot about how we'll relate to our spouse. This week, Kylen Perry and his wife, Brooke, walk us through the misconceptions of marriage and what scripture says marriage is - and isn't - truly about.

We spend a lot of time seeing if other people measure up to our ideal dating checklist — but have we stopped to evaluate ourselves first? This week, Kylen Perry points to 1 Timothy 4:12 and other passages to remind us that a meaningful connection to God is the source of a meaningful connection to others.

Why do we have friends — and more importantly how do we become good ones? As we kick off "The Relationship Series," Kylen Perry points to 1 Samuel 18 to show us the theology of friendship and how we can deepen the relationships that God gave us for our enjoyment.

What if you believe in God, but just don’t feel Him right now? This week, guest speaker Tyler Moffett, points us to Isaiah 49 as we consider what it means to navigate trials and suffering while trusting in God’s promises — and it all starts with a moment of surrender.

The world has repackaged the shackles of pornography as the symbol of sexual freedom — so how do we move forward? This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek points to Colossians 3:5 to remind us that we're called to put all sexual immorality - whether it's videos, books, thoughts - to death and live in the freedom that Christ offers.

If we're made new when we accept Christ, why do we try to keep the old? This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Colossians 3:1-17 to remind us that we're called to set our sin aside and set our minds on Christ instead.

Are you trying to add to Jesus? This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Colossians 2:16-23 to show us that we don't have to chase spiritual feelings, seek moral activities, or give an impressive appearance — our love of Christ is what makes us more like Him.

Do you put more weight on your faith in God or your fear of failure? This week, guest speaker Nate Hilgenkamp takes us through Numbers 13-14 to remind us that when we expand our view of God, we'll realize that He's never been (and will never be) the God of "good enough."

Who - or what - is lord of your life? If you claim Jesus Christ, then there has to be a total life transformation that follows. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Colossians 2 to give us a few lessons for the living we see Paul outline for the church of Colossae.
