Community at Watermark

At our conference, we announced the roll out of this blog for you, the people, the leader, and the community group.  Now almost three weeks later, we finally have most of the conference material uploaded and ready to open up for the benefit of your community.   We are not techies, so forgive us for the delay, but we are passionate about you and your community finding ultimate satisfaction in Christ in all aspects of life and committing yourself towards living life with others.   I hope the resources on  this site pushes you towards these two Goals ( loving God and loving others).

The further I move down the path with my own community group and now being an official “community guy” at Watermark, I’ve realized that everything in life comes down to commitment.  I am caring less and less about someones maturity (don’t get me wrong, the Lord cares about us being mature in our faith, see 1 Cor. 3), but more and more to one’s commitment.  So, give me a guy that has been in a relationship with Jesus for one day, who is “all in”, and committed verses the guy who Has known Jesus for 20 years, but won’t commit to do the hard things Jesus asks of us or commit to messy people (all of us).  Make sense?  More on Commitment in another blog, but I wanted to post one of the videos from the conference on Commitment.  Brent and Heather Bailey lead this group, which met for the first time at group link.  No one in the group knew each other, but they were committed to each other and doing the spiritual life together.  As a result, I have been blessed by watching crazy Christ honoring fruit (Jn. 15) come out of this group.  What’s funny, is that there are 8 couples in this group and i have suggested a time or two that they should divide or conquer because four couples seems way more manageable than eight, but they won’t have any of it.  I’m glad they have chosen to trust in God’s unlimited capacity, and i chose to trust in a formula.  Hope you enjoy this…
