Faithful Women in the Old Testament | Mother's Day 2025

TA continues the Year of the Word series and shares how Proverbs 7:1-5 outlines a plan to battle porn and find freedom from this sin.

Whether married or single, we often see singleness as a less-than proposition. Kylen Perry continues our Year of the Word series and reminds us that while being married or single comes with different challenges and benefits, we all long for the same things: relational connection, fulfillment, and purpose.

Marriage, like a fire, requires intentional cultivation to remain vibrant and faithful—through character, affirmation, and attention to spiritual and emotional health. Drawing from Song of Solomon, TA calls couples to reflect on the current state of their marriage and renew their commitment to love one another as Christ has loved us.

As a second part to [last week’s message](https://www.watermark.org/message/12309-a-picture-of-biblical-love-in-marriage), TA walked through [Watermark's Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage statement](https://www.watermark.org/elders/marriage-divorce-remarriage), Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 19, and Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 7 to explain God’s design for marriage as a lifelong covenant. TA urged believers to pursue what is most glorifying to God, not simply what is most relieving, and reminded us that marriage is meant to reflect Christ’s unwavering love for his Church.

In this message, TA unpacks God’s vision for love and marriage as seen in Song of Solomon and identifies four key characteristics of biblical love in marriage. Using his own marriage as an example, TA illustrates how love has been both a feeling and a choice—a daily commitment rooted in vows. The message is a reminder that the Bible presents marriage as a reflection of a greater love: Christ’s love for his bride, the Church.

Director of Care Ministries Wes Butler explores the book of Job in our Year of the Word series, revealing how Job corrects misunderstandings about suffering.

After walking through the books of the Law and the Historical Books of the Bible with Year of the Word, we took Sunday to pause for an extended time of prayer together. Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther guided us in praying for each other and our church.

Chris Sherrod continues our Year of the Word series this Mother's Day, exploring how Hagar, Leah, Jochebed, and Hannah's unexpected trials were where God was leading them the entire time.

Continuing our Year of the Word series, TA walks us through 1 and 2 Chronicles, revealing three powerful ways to adjust our spiritual sight and deepen intimacy with God.

In this week's message, TA wrapped up the book of 1 Chronicles, focusing on David’s anointing of his son, Solomon. Through David’s charge to Solomon, we see things we should desire for the next generation of believers and Christ followers. We were challenged that no matter our age (yes, even 30+), we are called to live surrendered lives with undivided hearts.
