Experiencing Acts 1 & 2 Together | Church at Home

Due to inclement weather, Watermark Community Church will not be hosting in-person Sunday services. Watch this special Church at Home message as we reflect on the early church in Acts 1 and 2.

In this message, Dave Bruskas walks through Peter’s sermon at Pentecost to help us better understand who Jesus is and why his life, death, and resurrection matter. The sermon shows that while God was at work through Jesus, our sin made the cross necessary. When the crowd realizes this, they ask what to do next, and Peter calls them to repent, be baptized, and follow Jesus. For us today, the invitation is to keep turning to Jesus, enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit, and live as worshipers and witnesses.

In Sunday’s message from Acts 2, we were reminded that while Pentecost was a unique moment in history, the work of the Holy Spirit did not stop there. Acts 2 shows us a church alive by the Spirit—marked by a shared enjoyment of God’s presence, an urgency for mission, and a sense of awe at what God is doing.

In Sunday’s message from Acts 1, TA reminded us that the Christian life and mission are never meant to be lived in our own strength. Before sending the disciples out as witnesses, Jesus told them to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. Acts 1 shows us that waiting is not passive; it is purposeful preparation for God’s power.

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.
