What would you do if you were arrested and threatened for talking about Jesus? Would you ask God to remove the opposition? Would you pray for your safety? Which would you do first? Today, Pastor Bill explains what the apostles did first: they went back to their fellowship and prayed. And the request of their prayer was for God to give them boldness to continue to speak of Jesus. This prayer was recorded not just for historical purposes. It's a prayer that you can pray for yourself today.

Welcome to the Sunday Morning Worship Service of New Covenant Christian Ministries with Pastor Bill and Dr. D'Ann Johnson. Our mission is “Transforming all people into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”  In today's sermon, Minister Gabriel Cyprian shares principles on living in truth.

The saying “preach the gospel and, if necessary, use words” is a good reminder that our actions are important. We dare not allow our behavior to contradict our message. But actions alone are insufficient without the essential use of words in the gospel's proclamation. Today, Pastor Bill will challenge you to not only live a godly life, but also to preach the Gospel to those that God has placed within your sphere of influence. If you were given a cure for a horrible disease, wouldn't you share that information with others? 

Pastor Bill discusses some PCBC history as he prepares us for our Bridge to the Future giving campaign and our 100th anniversary.

In our world, things can seem very…ungodly and even feel like they're getting worse and worse every day. BUT, God has a plan!!! He has a plan for our world, our lives, and the lives of everyone on this Earth! In today's message, Pastor Bill will comfort you with that truth!!! The truth that Jesus is coming back, God has a plan, and the Holy Spirit is always with you! No matter what the world looks like, no matter what you're facing, you are never alone! God of the universe is with and for you!!!

In this first message of the mini series "Our Call to Discipleship," Pastor Bill teaches how Jesus calls us into discipleship, in the same way he called Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John to leave their fishermen boats to become fishers of men. He calls ordinary people to do the extraordinary, and it all begins with relationship with Him.

It's important that we know the Word of God and know right from wrong. It is also important that we let our friends and family know the truth as well! Now, more often than not, we can get hung up on just telling people God's truth, and we forget God's grace, patience, and even love. In today's message, Pastor Bill will show how to speak God's truth, but cover it with God's grace! Truth without grace is simply brutality. As a Christian, you are the hands and feet of Jesus, and that is sharing truth with love!

Being a Christian isn't a religion, it isn't about going to church, it isn't even about how good you are…it is simply about Jesus Christ and our love for Him! In today's message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to remember what being a follower of Christ is all about…it's spending time with Christ, learning to be more like Him, and sharing that unmeritorious love that He showed you, with others! You are a saved, loved, and brand-new person in Jesus Christ!! Why wouldn't you want to share that with others?!

In this message from Ecclesiastes 8:1–9, Pastor Bill unpacks how wisdom shines in both demeanor and obedience, especially under authority. Drawing from the example of Stephen and scriptures like Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2, we're reminded that our respect for earthly leaders ultimately reflects our reverence for God. With heartfelt insight and practical truth, we're challenged to live with radiant peace, courageous obedience, and unwavering allegiance to our true King.

God is a Father by nature. Compassionate. Generous. Protective. Faithful. When we see Him rightly, we embrace a Father who forms us, disciplines us, carries us, and calls us His own.

It is important to be aware of what is going on in the world. Even though we no longer belong to the world, instead belonging to Christ, we should still have compassion on those who are enslaved by the snares of evil in the world we currently live in. Pastor Bill reminds us that there is chaos and sin driving everything around us, and we have been given the message of hope that will drive out the darkness; the message that Jesus will come again to rescue His bride from the devil's clutches.

The popular phrase 'happy wife, happy life' sounds innocent but actually promotes unhealthy relationship patterns that damage marriages. This teaching explores how this common saying encourages conflict avoidance, passivity, and unequal partnerships that lead to resentment and disconnection. Learn about the serious consequences for husbands (depression, emotional withdrawal), wives (feeling unheard, carrying unfair burdens), and children (developing distorted views of relationships). Discover the biblical alternative from Ephesians 5 that promotes 'holy spouse, holy house' - where husbands love sacrificially like Christ loved the church, and wives respect their husbands in a partnership of mutual honor. Understand the difference between being an abuser, an avoider, or an ambassador of Christ in your marriage. This teaching provides practical guidance for creating a marriage that pursues holiness over mere happiness, leading to deeper intimacy, joy, and spiritual growth. Whether married, single, or somewhere in between, learn how to champion God's design for marriage in your life and community. Christian marriage, biblical marriage, marriage advice, relationship help, conflict resolution, Ephesians 5, Christ and the church, healthy relationships, marriage counseling, Christian living.

A healthy church shouldn't feel like a chore to belong to. The Church in Acts chapter 2 was made up of closely knit relationships, of people from all walks of life bound together by the common thread that they had been redeemed by the blood of Christ. Pastor Bill shares with you today that it's so important to feel unity with your brothers and sisters. This world is hard enough on its own, but it's even more difficult if you try and forgo the fellowship and community of the Church.

It's easy to take a passionate person the wrong way. When you hear a street preacher sharing the Gospel, your first reaction might be one of anger or annoyance. But when someone stops for a moment and listens to the words being said, they may just realize that the passion doesn't come from someone's mental instability, but from a real-life change that has taken place in the speaker's heart! Pastor Bill reminds you that Peter was able to address entire crowds once he was emboldened by the Holy Spirit.

When you have a dirty coffee cup, do you just wash the outside of the cup before using it again? No, you need to wash the inside of the cup in order to remove the dirt and residue that has built up on the inside. Pastor Bill wants you to recognize today that in order for your life to be restored to the way God created you to be, the Holy Spirit needs to work from the inside out. If you try to fix yourself, you're going from the outside in, and you won't be able to weed out the deep-seated sin on your own.

Pastor Bill talks about how true healing comes from Jesus, and that is how we move from a storm into a Kingdom climate.

Welcome to the Sunday Morning Worship Service of New Covenant Christian Ministries with Pastor Bill and Dr. D'Ann Johnson. Our mission is “Transforming all people into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.” In today's sermon, Dr. D'Ann Johnson continues in the "Equipped to Grow" series, focusing on "How to Grow in Grace".

When the prophet Elijah fled into the wilderness, God told Him to meet on top of a mountain. A strong wind, an earthquake, and a great wildfire passed by, but God's presence wasn't in those phenomena. His voice cut through the silence right to the prophet's heart. Pastor Bill teaches you today that the Holy Spirit works in the same way: He doesn't speak to you through signs and wonders, but through the quiet moments spent meditating on God's Word. He's ready to speak to you in the silence.

This message explores how a seemingly innocent phrase can become a harmful excuse for inappropriate behavior. Discover the concerning statistics about men in prison, fatherless homes, and male suicide rates that highlight the consequences of this mentality.

Understand what Scripture teaches about gender differences and how God designed men and women with complementary strengths. Based on 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, discover practical guidance for raising boys to become godly men who stay alert to temptation, remain anchored in Christ, take responsibility, and find their strength in Jesus.

God is a God of surprises! You may think that you know the exact way that He is going to bring something to pass, but when He follows through, He uses a way that you had completely failed to consider beforehand. Pastor Bill teaches you today about the early Church in Acts chapter 2, and how they could not have predicted the way that God would bring new believers into the Body of Christ. The Lord loves to break humanity's expectations, reminding you to never underestimate Him.

The message of the Gospel should give you urgency! You don't know when Jesus is going to return for His Church. Although it is a basic instinct to anticipate the time that you are going to spend with the Lord in Heaven, you should also be concerned for your brothers and sisters who haven't encountered Jesus yet. Pastor Bill wants you to be concerned for those who are going to be left behind when Jesus returns, because the Lord's heart breaks for those who are going to miss out on Heaven.

Trying to be a witness for God without the power of the Holy Spirit is like trying to drive a car without gas in it. Yes, you have the passion and the drive to reach people for Jesus, but you need that supernatural fuel to get things really going. Pastor Bill teaches you today about how the early Church was driven by the Holy Spirit, empowered to spread the Gospel in a world that was still hostile to the teachings of Jesus. The Lord can and will do amazing things through you by His Holy Spirit.

In this episode of The Follow-Up, Pastor Bill sits down with Pastor Adam and Pastor Jack to unpack the meaty truths of Romans 13. They tackle how transformation flows from God's mercy, not our self-effort, why authentic love sometimes means hard conversations, and how we can shine Christ's light in everyday moments — even tipping well at a restaurant!You'll hear practical stories, honest struggles, and actionable ways to live out your faith beyond Sunday. They also wrestle with how Christians should engage politics without losing sight of kingdom priorities.

In order to experience the plans that God has for us in this life, we need to accept the Holy Spirit into our lives. Pastor Bill teaches us today that just like Mary listened to the words of the angel Gabriel and received the blessing of carrying Jesus, you and I have the privilege to carry the power of God around with us as well. When we accept the Holy Spirit's power in our lives, He will work in our hearts and change the world around us. But He won't do any of that if we don't accept Him with a cheerful heart.

One of the ways that the Holy Spirit can work in your life is to reconcile relationships that may have been strained or broken by past conflict. Pastor Bill encourages you today that those friends and family members who seem too far away from God are only one encounter away from giving their lives over to Him. So while you remain faithful in prayer, asking the Lord to reveal Himself to those lost sheep, He is working behind the scenes to redirect their attention and help them see what they are missing out on.
