Pinelake Church Sermons

David Nasser spent years running from religion—until a simple act of compassion revealed a Savior who knew him long before he ever knew Jesus. His story reminds us that the gospel isn’t about getting it all right, but about meeting the One who can redeem every chapter of our lives.

Ever feel like you’re the least likely person God would choose to do something big? In this message from 1 Samuel 16, we’re reminded that God loves to use the overlooked and underestimated, and He just might be calling you.

Partial obedience might seem close enough, but to God, it's not obedience at all. In this message, we’ll see why trusting God with full, surrendered obedience is always worth it, even when it's hard to understand.

When life feels heavy and the pressure builds, it’s easy to take control instead of trusting God. This message reminds us that waiting isn’t wasted when we trust the One who sees the whole story and shows up right on time.

Even in a world full of noise, God still speaks, and He wants you to hear Him. This message walks through the story of young Samuel to remind us that hearing God’s voice starts with a heart that’s open, surrendered, and ready to listen.

We all have expectations—of people, of life, even of God. But what do you do when Jesus doesn’t look like you thought He would? This message explores how faith can grow in the gap between what we hoped for and who He really is.

When life falls apart and you feel like you’ve got nothing left, that might be the exact moment God is ready to do something new. In 2 Kings 4, we see how He meets us in our desperation, not just to get us through it but to lead us into something greater.

When we move without asking God, we’re more likely to be fooled by what looks good in the moment, and like the Israelites, we may face lasting consequences. Joshua 9 reminds us that even when we mess up, God is faithful and invites us back to walk in His wisdom.

Marriage isn’t about perfection; it’s about daily choosing humility, service, and love that reflects Christ. In this message, we’ll unpack common marriage myths and explore four simple shifts that can strengthen any relationship.

We all want to live lives that matter—but how do we become truly great in God’s eyes? Looking at the life of David, we’ll see that greatness doesn’t come from talent or status, but from being called by God, walking in faith, and staying repentant before Him.

In this sermon, we learn that both singleness and marriage are good gifts from God, each with its own challenges and blessings.

Fresh Wind is a monthly night of prayer focused on growing together in prayer and pursuing God’s presence. This is an opportunity to seek Him, lift our voices in worship, and experience His renewing power as a church family.

What does the Bible actually say about intimacy and marriage? In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul helps us see that intimacy in marriage isn’t about obligation or pressure—it’s about love, mutual service, and staying connected to God and each other.

Real transformation isn’t about trying harder—it’s about letting go. In Christ, we don’t just make improvements; we make an exchange, trading our old ways for new life in Him.

We often focus on managing what people can see, but Jesus is after something deeper—transforming us from the inside out. In Mark 2, we see how He meets us in the unseen places of doubt and brokenness to bring lasting change.

When life gets hard, it’s tempting to look for the easy way out. But what if the hard road is actually the best one? Jesus chose that path—enduring the cross and embracing the full weight of suffering, rejection, and shame. By following Him, we find true peace, deeper purpose, and unshakable hope.

Even before Barabbas became a notorious prisoner, he was someone’s little boy—fearfully and wonderfully made, full of potential and created by God for a purpose. In a stunning twist of grace, Jesus took Barabbas’ place on the cross, showing us that the love of God isn’t reserved for the worthy—it’s for all of us, right in the middle of our mess.

Have you ever felt like you've failed too big or fallen too hard to bounce back? In this message, we look at how Peter's story reminds us that failure isn’t final—and with humility, prayer, and God’s grace, you can rise again and walk in the purpose He’s prepared for you.

Judas’ life is a cautionary tale of being near Jesus but never truly knowing Him. His story warns us about the dangers of selfish ambition, unrepentant sin, and resisting God’s grace—reminding us that failure doesn’t separate us from God, but refusing to turn to Him does.
