Abiding in Jesus, We are Making Disciples Together // Watermark Community Church

In this message, Timothy Ateek casts the vision for Watermark this fall: “Abiding in Jesus, we are making disciples together."

Key Takeaways:

Abiding in Jesus (John 15:4-5) - Spiritually mature Christians seek Jesus with no agenda except to be with Jesus. The agenda isn’t fruitfulness. The agenda is connection, and fruit is simply the overflow of that connection. A connection where you become more acquainted with his presence. More captivated by his beauty. You find life and joy in him

Making Disciples (Matthew 28:18-20) - If you are a Christian, this is God’s calling on your life.: make disciples, who are learners and followers of Jesus. Leverage your life for this. This command isn’t optional. It’s not for extra credit for the Jesus freaks. Make disciples where you work. Make disciples where you live. Make disciples where you workout. Make disciples where you shop. Make disciples where you eat regularly. The privilege we have as followers of Christ is that we cultivate learners and followers of Jesus from all nations, not just here in Dallas or here in the US, but around the globe.

Enjoying Life Together (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) - There is an enemy who hates you, who spends massive amounts of energy thinking about how to steal joy from you, promote brokenness in you, and ruin your relationship with God. That’s why every single one of us needs a small army of men or women willing to go to battle with us every single day. Now just to be clear, Jesus has already conquered Satan, sin and death through his own death for our sin and resurrection, so that through trusting in him we die to sin and live in him. Jesus doesn’t need us to be strong. He has already been strong, continues to be strong for us, and He gladly supplies us with the same power that raised Him from the dead by his Spirit who lives in us. It’s just that often He reveals His power through His people.
