Sermons Pine Lake Covenant Church

Life has been really hard these last two years. The feelings of exhaustion, being overwhelmed, and burnt out are real. Some days we don’t know if we could make it through the day. How would that all change if we knew a community that would encourage and build you up? Jesus calls us to be that community! Join us this Sunday to hear the community we are called to be. The post Encourage One Another appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

The hardest part of being a One Another community are the relationships. We are called to love and to forgive, but what happens in the in-between? Well we are called to bear with one another in tensions of relationships. Join us as we look at the life of Jesus and his call for us to bear with One Another. The post Bear With One Another appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

The thing about loving one another is that we are going to love imperfectly. We are going to mess up. The power of love is amplified when it includes forgiveness. Join us as we explore what it means for us to forgive One Another. The post Forgive One Another appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

Jesus said the WORLD would know we are his disciples by how we love one another. If that’s one of the litmus tests for the world to know Jesus is really who he says he is, then we need to learn how to be One Another people! The post One Another Church appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

Our personal devotion time in the Word is imperative, but what if God is asking us to boldly find new life in His Word!

The birth of Jesus has arrived, Christmas has come and gone, and yet as Christians we are not done waiting.

The Magi set off on a journey that brought access to a new type of king over a new kind of kingdom. Christmas proclaims a reordering of the world’s systems. What might it look like for the kingdom of God to come near us? The post A Royal Welcome appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

When a baby arrives to a young couple in Bethlehem, we are moved by the faith of his young mother. We often forget that Mary viewed her child, Jesus, with both wonder and bewilderment. It was devotion toward God and love for her son that stirred her to sacrifice without certainty. The post Mary’s Love appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

Current media outlets report news almost 24/7, but how much is actually good news? In Advent, we set our ears and hearts to receive again the good news of the One who has come to be with us. This is joyful news, worth sharing with everyone! The post Good News, Great Joy appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

What character qualities are needed as we get ready for a new season? Jesus’ sermon on the mount outlined practices that would define his followers.

The post Prayer Full appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

We’ve called a new pastor and have high hopes for what this leader will bring to our community and our mission in the world. Now the question is: How can we prepare as a church for this next season? How might God be renewing us as a welcoming people? The post Radical Welcome appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.
