Pine Lake Covenant Church Podcast

This summer, we’re walking through the book of Romans, one of the most powerful and hope-filled letters in Scripture. Together, we’ll explore the good news of Jesus, the depth of God’s grace, the reality of faith, and the new life we are invited to live through the Spirit. As we move through key passages across the whole book, Romans will help us see the beauty of the gospel more clearly and disco...

This Sunday in our Come and See series, we will focus on Jesus’ invitation into mission. In Matthew 9:35-38, Jesus sees the crowds with compassion and calls His disciples to pray for workers in the harvest. As we seek to create a culture of invitation, we will ask what it means to see people as Jesus sees them and to join Him in the work He is already doing. The post Invited Into Mission...

This Sunday, we continue our series Come & See, exploring what it means to develop a culture of invitation. In Acts 2:42-47, we get a glimpse of the early church: a community devoted to teaching, fellowship, prayer, generosity, and shared life. Their life together was not only meaningful for those inside the community; it became a witness that drew others in. The post Invited Into Communi...

This week in our Come and See series, we will explore Jesus’ invitation to grow deeper in Him through Colossians 2:6–7. Because it is Discipleship Sunday, our time together will be more conversational than a traditional sermon. We will listen, ask questions, and make space to be sharpened by one another as we consider what it means to keep walking with Christ—rooted in Him, bui...

This week is Confirmation Sunday! Come celebrate all that God has done and continues to do in the life of our students who have journeyed through the confirmation experience this year. This is not only a huge step in these students’ faith journey, but an opportunity to celebrate God’s faithfulness as a church. See you Sunday! The post Confirmation 2026 appeared first on Pine Lake Covena...

A simple invitation can change someone’s eternity. In our new sermon series, Come & See, we’ll explore how Jesus welcomed others into His family, His way, and His mission—and how we can do the same. Together, we’ll learn to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did, discovering how God often uses personal invitations to draw people closer to Him. The post The Power of I...

What does it mean to truly know who you are? This Sunday, we’ll explore the gift of being yourself and the deep confidence that comes from knowing you are fully seen, fully known, and fully loved by God. No matter what life has looked like or what voices have shaped your story, God’s love speaks a better word over your identity, your purpose, and your value. The post God’s Love, Identity and...

This Sunday in our Multiply series, we’ll focus on what it means to multiply disciples. Jesus calls His followers not only to receive the good news, but to carry it—to be His witnesses and to help others follow Him. From Acts 1:7-8 and Romans 10:14-15, we’ll see that the mission of the church is beautifully simple: disciples make disciples. We’ll also celebrate that mission in actio...

What does it really look like to be a disciple—and to make one? This Discipleship Sunday, we’re creating space for a different kind of gathering. Not just listening, but engaging. Not just teaching, but discovering together. Rooted in Acts 2:42–47, we’ll explore the beauty of a community devoted to teaching, fellowship, and shared life. Together, we’ll reflect on a simple but powerful truth: each...

This weekend in our “Multiply” series, we’ll focus on intentional discipleship. In a world that constantly forms us, following Jesus does not happen by accident. It takes purpose, perseverance, and a life rooted in God’s Word. Together, we’ll explore this central truth: we don’t accidentally follow Jesus, we intentionally follow Jesus. Join us as we discover how Scripture sha...

Last week we launched our new sermon series, “Multiply,” examining Jesus’ call to make disciples. This missional calling is for every believer! But how do we do this? Jesus sets the model for us. Looking at the discipleship of Mary Magdalene as an example, we see that Jesus formed disciples personally, relationally, and over time. Jesus met people with grace, walked with them in...

“Multiply” isn’t about adding more—it’s about transformation that spreads. Jesus didn’t call us to sit, watch, or simply know more; He calls us to become more—and help others do the same. In this series, we’ll look at how Jesus made disciples and what it means for us today: investing intentionally in people, growing through real community, and living a faith that actually multiplies. The post The...

This Easter, join us as we celebrate the greatest news the world has ever known: God so loved. We are reminded that Easter begins with the heart of God—a love so deep that He gave His Son so that we might have life. The cross and the empty tomb both tell the same story: we are deeply loved, fully seen, and graciously invited into eternal life through Jesus. Come hear the hope of Easter and the goo...

This week in Towels Over Titles, we’ll explore John 12:1–8 and the call to wholehearted devotion. Jesus invites us to more than acts of service for others—He calls us to love Him deeply, humbly, and personally. As we reflect on what it means to wash and anoint His feet, we’ll see that true service always begins with sincere love for Jesus. The post The Savior’s Feet appeared first on Pi...

This week we look at John 4:4-42 and the way Jesus welcomed and served someone society overlooked. In His encounter with the Samaritan woman, Jesus shows us that the kingdom is not built on status, position, or title, but on humility, compassion, and servant-hearted love. As we focus on Jesus serving the marginalized, we’ll ask a challenging question: How do we put down our titles so we can welcom...

This week in Towels over Titles, we’ll reflect on the heart of Jesus for the next generation. In John 13, Jesus kneels to wash His disciples’ feet, revealing a kingdom shaped not by power or position, but by humble love. In Mark 10:13–16, He opens His arms to children when others tried to keep them away, reminding us that His heart is always turned toward those the world may overlook. As His peopl...

This week in Towels over Titles, we’re looking at Judas—a disciple close enough to Jesus to share the table, yet willing to trade Him away for a price. In John 13:1–17, Jesus does something shocking: He takes the lowest place, wraps a towel around His waist, and washes feet—even with betrayal in the room. The post The Judases appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church .

For Discipleship Sunday, we’re gathering as one church family—from ages 3 to 103—to practice discipleship the way it often happens best: in conversation, in wondering, and in processing together. In John 13, Jesus doesn’t give a lecture—He gives a living picture. This week’s theme is Jesus washing the feet of His friends—the people closest to Him. He kneels down, wraps a towel...

In John 13, on the night Jesus could have demanded honor, He instead wrapped Himself in a towel and washed dusty feet. The King chose the posture of a servant, turning a shocking moment into a lasting model: “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.” This wasn’t a one-time object lesson—it was a blueprint for discipleship. Jo...

This week we step into Jesus’ vision of peacemaking, not as passivity, not as avoidance, but as something alive and moving; like a river. Peace is not a stagnant pond, it flows through hard ground and reshapes landscapes. God invites us to become active participants in his peacemaking: engaging healing and reconciliation in our relationships, our church, communities and in the world that is longin...

Most of us know what it feels like to live split—pulled between what we want, what people expect, and what we know God is asking of us. In Matthew 5:8, Jesus names a better way: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Not perfect hearts—whole hearts. We’re talking about how the good life is an undivided life, and how a pure heart doesn’t just “behave better,” it sees better—God in...

Discipleship Sunday is designed to be hands-on and multigenerational—full of participation, questions, curiosity, and conversation. As we continue our series, “The Beatitudes” (Matthew 5:2–10), we’ll focus on Matthew 5:7 and the gift (and challenge) of mercy. We’ll name the weight we carry when we don’t offer mercy to others, and when we’re slow to accept the mercy God offers us for our sin. The p...

In Matthew 5:6, Jesus says the blessed—the ones living the truly good life—are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. That’s not mild interest; it’s a deep ache to live aligned with God. And when righteousness becomes your appetite, you start to realize something: the good life has a cost. Following Jesus means choosing His way over the easy way, His truth over the popular way, His lo...

This weekend in our Beatitudes series, we’ll lean into Jesus’ promise in Matthew 5:5: “Blessed are the meek…” Meekness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control, a life that chooses surrender over self-protection and God’s purposes over personal power. Jesus shows us what it looks like to carry real authority with real humility, serving others instead of demanding our own way....

On Discipleship Sundays, we gather as one church family—ages 1 to 103—to learn together and disciple one another, and this month we’ll learn together through Jesus’ first teaching, the sermon on the mount. Jesus is establishing his kingdom and it must have seemed so counter-cultural. Is his kingdom still counter for disciples today? What does it mean to mourn? How are we comforted? Our morning wil...
