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 Community appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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, built up in Him, strengthened in faith, and overflowing with gratitude. Come ready to wonder together, encourage one another, and […] The post Invited to Grow appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

Before the country learned his name, before the trials, before the cameras — there was a year in Seattle where young women kept disappearing and nobody could connect them to each other.Karen Sparks, beaten in her own bed with a metal rod from the bed frame, survived with brain damage and no memory of the man who did it. Lynda Healy vanished from a basement bedroom that somebody had quietly made up behind her. Donna Manson left her dorm for a concert in Olympia and never arrived. Susan Rancourt. Kathy Parks. Brenda Ball. Georgann Hawkins, eleven steps from her sorority's back door.Then July at Lake Sammamish — Janice Ott and Denise Naslund, taken from the same crowded beach four hours apart by a man who told witnesses his name was Ted.King County formed a task force. The tips exceeded two hundred thousand. Three different citizens reportedly called in the same name: Ted Bundy. The computer program placed him in the top hundred.

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!

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 Invitation appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 Value appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 action as we follow up with those being baptized. The post Multiplying Disciples appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 of us has been shaped by someone—and we are called to do the same for others. […] The post Relational Discipleship appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 shapes, equips, and strengthens us to grow as faithful disciples. The post Intentional Discipleship appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 shared life, and entrusted them with his mission. That's our model too! The post How Jesus Made Disciples appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

“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 Call appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 good news of a […] The post So Loved… appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 welcome and serve the marginalized like Jesus did? Join us as we […] The post Marginalized appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 people, we are invited to continue His story […] The post Next Generation appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 around His waist, and serves them with humble, hands-on love. Then He invites them into the meaning: “I have set you an example… […] The post Friends appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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. Join us as we explore what it means to follow Jesus, not by chasing titles, but […] The post The Invisible appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 longing for restoration. The post Peacemakers appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 full, not in part. We'll look […] The post Pure in Heart appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 post Mercy appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 love over the selfish way. The post Righteousness appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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. Come discover how meekness reshapes everyday life—how we can serve instead of striving, release the need for recognition or control, and trust God to fight the […] The post Meek appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

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 will be interactive and engaging: we'll explore together, reflect together, and ask honest questions that […] The post Mourn appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

In this episode, we take an unflinching look at one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. Theodore Robert Bundy murdered at least thirty women across seven states during the 1970s, and his case forever changed how we understand the nature of predatory violence.This is the complete story of Ted Bundy, from his troubled beginnings to his final moments in Florida's electric chair. We open on a summer afternoon at Lake Sammamish State Park in Washington State, where a handsome young man with his arm in a sling approached woman after woman, asking for help with his sailboat. Two of those women would never be seen alive again, and their disappearances would mark a turning point in one of the largest manhunts in Pacific Northwest history.The story begins in 1946 at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers in Burlington, Vermont, where a young woman named Louise Cowell gave birth to a son she could not publicly claim as her own. We explore the elaborate family deception that followed, with Ted being raised to believe his grandparents were his parents and his mother was merely his older sister. We examine the household dynamics in Philadelphia, including accounts of his grandfather Samuel Cowell's violent temper, and we follow the family's cross-country relocation to Tacoma, Washington, where Louise would eventually marry a hospital cook named Johnnie Bundy.From there, we trace Ted's development through childhood and adolescence. We look at his struggles to connect with peers, his early fascination with violence and true crime, his nighttime prowling through neighborhoods, and the petty thefts that taught him he could take what he wanted without consequence. We follow him to the University of Washington, where he reinvented himself as a charming political operative and met the wealthy young woman whose rejection would send him spiraling into darkness. The heart of this episode chronicles Ted Bundy's years of murder. Beginning with the attack on Karen Sparks in January 1974 and the disappearance of Lynda Ann Healy just weeks later, we document the wave of terror that swept through the Pacific Northwest as young women vanished from college campuses and public spaces. We cover each known victim, the circumstances of their disappearances, and the desperate efforts of investigators who were working without the benefit of modern forensic tools or computerized databases. We examine the critical turning point at Lake Sammamish, where multiple witnesses saw the same man approaching women and where a composite sketch finally gave investigators something to work with. We reveal how Ted Bundy's own girlfriend reported her suspicions to police and how his name was lost in a pile of thousands of tips.The narrative follows Bundy to Utah, where he enrolled in law school and immediately began hunting again. We cover the murders of Nancy Wilcox, Melissa Smith, Laura Aime, and Debra Kent. We give particular attention to the attack on Carol DaRonch, the young woman who fought back and escaped, providing investigators with their first surviving witness who could identify her attacker. We then trace the crimes into Colorado and Idaho, documenting the murders of Caryn Campbell, Julie Cunningham, Denise Oliverson, Lynette Culver, and Susan Curtis. We explore how investigators across multiple states were slowly beginning to connect the dots, recognizing patterns that suggested a single killer was responsible for disappearances spanning thousands of miles. The capture of Ted Bundy receives detailed attention, beginning with the routine traffic stop by Utah Highway Patrol Sergeant Bob Hayward that revealed a car full of disturbing items. We cover Bundy's conviction for the kidnapping of Carol DaRonch and his extradition to Colorado to face murder charges.Two full chapters are devoted to Ted Bundy's escapes from custody. The first escape came when he leaped from a second-story window of the Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen, leading authorities on a six-day manhunt through the Colorado mountains. The second escape was even more audacious, with Bundy sawing through the ceiling of his cell and walking out the front door of the Garfield County Jail on the night of December 30th, 1977. We follow Bundy to Florida, where he committed his most violent attacks. The Chi Omega sorority house massacre is covered in detail, documenting how Bundy killed two young women and severely injured three others in a span of minutes. We also cover his final victim, twelve-year-old Kimberly Leach, who was abducted from her junior high school in Lake City just weeks later.The legal proceedings receive thorough examination. We cover the groundbreaking Miami trial, one of the first to be televised nationally, where Bundy represented himself and was ultimately convicted based on eyewitness testimony and forensic bite mark evidence. We also cover the subsequent trial for the murder of Kimberly Leach and the failed insanity defense.The episode concludes with Bundy's nine years on death row, his eventual confessions to investigators, and his execution on January 24th, 1989. We examine his final interview with Dr. James Dobson, in which he blamed his crimes on pornography, and we consider the complicated legacy he left behind.Throughout this episode, we keep the focus where it belongs, on the victims. We name every known victim and honor their memory, reminding listeners that behind the sensational headlines were real women whose lives were cut short by a predator who exploited their trust and kindness.The Ted Bundy case fundamentally changed American law enforcement. It contributed to the creation of the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program and helped establish the modern science of criminal profiling. But perhaps its most important legacy is the warning it provides.Evil does not always announce itself. Sometimes it comes with a warm smile and a request for help. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it probably is.

The Beatitudes… Jesus’ first teachings. The first words from your rabbi are important. They set the priority for his disciples to follow. Jesus' teaching was counter to the culture of his day, and was a call for God's people to return to their roots of being a people set apart. His kingdom would be an upside down one from the culture, then and for our culture today. In the new year, we return to the first teachings in order to […] The post Poor in Spirit appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

This Advent weekend, we step into the hill country with Mary and discover that joy doesn't begin with getting our life together—it begins with Jesus drawing near. Luke 1:39–55 shows how joy leaks when “me” becomes the center: the more we stare at ourselves—our stress, our lack, our comparisons—the faster joy drains away. But God doesn't lose me in the midst of we; He meets Mary and Elizabeth personally, and He ignites joy through Spirit-filled community and spoken blessing.

Love is the heartbeat of Advent. This week, as we sit with John 3:16–17, we'll trace the story of a God whose love is eternal (“chosen before the foundation of the world”), visible in Jesus—the Word made flesh, and receivable, a love so wide and long and high and deep that it can actually take root in our hearts. In a world starving for real love, Advent reminds us that God's love is not abstract, distant, or fragile—it comes near, puts on flesh, and reaches […] The post Love appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

At the last supper, Jesus ate a meal with his best friends. They shared many meals together, and this was no different than any of the others, except that it would be his last.

To sit down with people at a table and build community. Join us as we discover the […] The post Community appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

In a world where injustice separates and labels, Jesus meets a marginalized woman with dignity, truth, and grace. This encounter is more than a conversation about worship; it's a confrontation with systems of exclusion and a picture of divine justice in action.

Don and Tom dive into the wild world of “speculative” ETFs inspired by Jason Zweig's WSJ piece, mocking the absurdity of funds like the Icelandic stock market ETF (35 stocks, really?) and those tracking things like crude oil shipping futures. They debunk the myth that “ETF” means safe and highlight the rise of investing as entertainment.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 340 with an emotional twist — Hotshot is moving from Snoqualmie to Sammamish, leaving behind years of memories, including the house where his daughter was raised. The two reflect on the sentimentality of leaving home and Scott's surprising inability to cry… except maybe after a World Series loss. The conversation pivots to the 340 area code — the U.S. Virgin Islands — leading to a trivia-filled celebration of Kelsey Grammer, Tim Duncan, Sugar Ray Seales, and Dave Matthews. Mitch connects the dots between obscure sports facts and Seattle's ties to musical legends, including a memorable story about Dave Matthews' tour bus incident. Steve Phillips joins to break down Cal Raleigh's MVP case. Raleigh's home run pace, elite defense, and the grueling Seattle travel schedule all contribute to a narrative that may rival Aaron Judge's candidacy — if Cal keeps up the pace and the M's stay in the playoff hunt. Hughes Norton stops by to revisit his rollercoaster ride as Tiger Woods' original super-agent. From landing the record-setting Nike and Titleist deals to being fired over the phone with no closure, Norton shares never-before-heard behind-the-scenes drama from his memoir Rainmaker. Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle returns. The guys react to a rollercoaster road trip, Joe's doomsday texts, and Cal's MVP surge. They debate whether Julio Rodriguez can be “just a singles hitter,” how much value Randy Arozarena has left, and what it'll take to reach the postseason.   GUESTS Steve Phillips | MLB Network & SiriusXM Analyst Hughes Norton | Author, Rainmaker Brady Farkas | Mariners No-Table, Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast Joe Doyle | Mariners No-Table, MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Mitch grills Hotshot on taking time off to move.
