Have you seen the many predictions that The Simpsons seem to get right? For instance, The Shard in London, which was constructed in 2009, was featured in an episode in 1995. Then, there's one of their more famous predictions – the Donald Trump presidency. It's rather fascinating… and of course purely coincidental. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that what isn't coincidental is the number of accurate predictions in the Bible. You can trust them because God authored them.

There's nothing better than that powerhouse of a friend who knows exactly what to say, and when to say it. Their words of encouragement can completely change a situation. Today, Pastor Bill equips you to be that friend by offering the best word of encouragement there is – the name of Jesus. No matter what you or your friends might be going through, knowing that there's a savior who loved you enough to die for you can change your entire outlook. Aren't you glad you have that savior?

Today Pastor Bill continues our Psalm 23 series with a great message.

As Christians, we are called to love others. The world has somewhat distorted the definition of love to mean accept, affirm, or make others comfortable. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that truly loving others means that… in his words, “There is a time to go Batman on somebody.” When you truly love someone, you desire to see them succeed and grow, and not just stay stuck in their sins. To be a Christian is to be an ambassador for Christ, and to be an ambassador is to make His Word known.

Whenever you do an act of kindness, what's the mindset behind it? Do you minister to others for God, or do you minister to God? Those may sound similar, but maybe this will help. Imagine you work for a hotel as a greeter. Do you hold the door open for patrons on the company's behalf, or because you want to show them an act of kindness? In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that, in the same way, you can either serve people for God or serve people to God. It's not just the actions you do, but the heart behind them.

Pastor Bill Wineke talks about society and winning and losing.

In medieval times, knights were valiant warriors who spent a lot of time training and making sure they were well-equipped. They often had a squire who would help them get their extremely heavy armor attached and secured so that they could be protected from enemy attacks. In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that God, the King, has chosen you to be a warrior for His name's sake. In fact, He is so confident in His choice that He equips you with His own armor, which we call the Bible.

As we look at Acts 10, Pastor Bill shows us how Peter learns that no one is beyond God's reach, and neither are the people in our lives.

Aren't you glad that God isn't distant? If you look at other religions, the “gods” they worship seem to want nothing to do with humanity. In Greek and Roman mythology, the gods seemed to treat people as playthings. In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that the God of the Christian faith is as real as the air you're breathing right now! Aren't you glad that you can pray to a God who will listen to you and speak back to you? Aren't you thankful that God doesn't just sit idly, but that He actually answers prayers?

As the boats full of soldiers approached the eerie Normandy beaches on June 6, 1944, what do you imagine was going through their minds? Were they excited? Were they relaxed? Of course not! There was tension there because they knew they were marked, yet they mustered up courage and fought anyway. In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that as a follower of Jesus Christ, you are marked. The world isn't going to be happy with you, but gather your courage and fight the good fight anyway.

We often view those spiritual leaders in our lives who pray consistently and frequently as never having any doubt about who they are praying to. In our mind, they have their act together. Well, in today's sermon, Pastor Bill teaches that sometimes there's more to it than meets the eye. Doubt is common, and when it creeps in, it doesn't make you any less Christian. When that happens, follow the path of the father who cried to Jesus to help his unbelief. Let Jesus heal your doubts.

How often do you ask your spouse or kids to do something, and then a little hint of anger seeps in when they don't immediately do it? How often do you do that with God? In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that you should pray fervently and without ceasing. However, he also reminds you that God doesn't work on your schedule. He has a schedule of His own. Your prayers will be answered, but they just might not be answered in the way you hoped, or as fast as you'd hoped. Nevertheless, keep praying.

What's the point of life if everything is meaningless? In this powerful conclusion to Ecclesiastes, Pastor Bill challenges us to remember our Creator, face the reality of death, and embrace the hope of the gospel. Whether you're young or old, this message will help you live with eternity in view.

The greatest compliment, the highest title, and the most rewarding identity you or anyone could ever achieve is Christian. If you're a Christian, you have a higher calling and a much more rewarding and pleasurable future lined up! In today's message, Pastor Bill will ask you as plainly as possible, “Are you a Christian?” Going to church and reading your Bible doesn't constitute a holy life; Jesus does! If you love Jesus and have surrendered ALL to Him, you are a Holy and valuable Christian!

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, Pastor Ken shares on the power of one right decision.

There is no hierarchy in the kingdom of God except that Jesus is over everything. There isn't some seasoned, holier-than-thou section for some people and a less holy section for new believers. It's simply Jesus is King and WE'RE ALL under Him! We're all holy and precious in His sight! Today, Pastor Bill will remind you that no matter how long you've been a Christian, you are a son or daughter to God! Nothing more, nothing less! He sees you and your saved neighbor as holy because of the cross!

This week, Pastor Bill reminds us how Jesus calls us to follow Him, live transformed lives, and urgently share the gospel with others.

Discover why treating the Bible like a buffet—picking what we like and skipping what we don't—leads to spiritual malnourishment. This message explores how we often embrace comfortable passages like John 3:16 or 'do not judge' while avoiding challenging teachings on marriage, sexuality, human depravity, or exclusivity of salvation through Christ. Learn how Scripture can be viewed as three sections: the Morality Bar (moral teachings), the Doctrine Buffet (theological truths), and the Prosperity Smorgasbord (promises and challenges). Jesus emphasized living by 'every word from God' and perfectly fulfilled all Scripture Himself. Because of Christ's work, we can approach the entire Bible with thanksgiving, hunger, and boldness. Practical application includes identifying teachings you've struggled to accept and studying them with an open heart.

Let me save you a lot of confusion and stress; you cannot understand everything God does. It is literally impossible for your human mind to comprehend godly actions. God's ways are unknown, and that is a good thing! You can't fathom all He does or is doing. The Lord chooses not to reveal His plans - to protect you! In today's message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to accept the unknown and trust God! When you don't understand, lean on God for peace and acceptance, and He will be faithful!

We cannot be half-Christian and still be half-worldly. If we're true “Christians,” then we must be all in! God must be Lord over everything we are, everything we do, and everything we have! There can be no halfway; we must be completely sold out for Jesus! In today's message, Pastor Bill will ask you, “Is Jesus Lord of you?... or are you still on the fence?” If you're not quite sure, let me tell you, you will never regret giving your all to God; you won't! Jesus is faithful, loving, and will never leave you!

True Christianity has been misunderstood and twisted in today's day and age. Living a real Christian life is all about Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross. There are no other deciding factors or anything that can change that. It isn't about what we want or what we think we need; it's about Jesus, and Jesus alone!!! Today, Pastor Bill will encourage you to live a Biblical Christian life. You aren't to live according to what culture says is Christian, but according to who God says Christians are to be!

No matter what it is God is calling you to, even if it's something you don't like or know, being obedient will never be a regret!!
