When we carry the gospel, we carry joy. Not the kind that depends on circumstances, but the kind rooted in God's grace. Everywhere we go, we have the opportunity to bring light into dark places, hope into weary hearts, and laughter into heavy moments. Pastor Bill will explain today that the good news of Jesus isn't meant to stay bottled up inside you; it overflows. Like a lamp that can't help but shine or perfume that fills a whole room, the gospel brings joy wherever it goes. Spread that joy today.

Grace is like a perfect diamond. It shines in its completeness, needing nothing added to make it more beautiful. But so often, we try to glue on our own little pieces, our efforts, our rules, our good works, thinking it will somehow make it better. In reality, all it does is cover the brilliance of what was already flawless. Today, Pastor Bill will remind you that you are saved by grace alone, not by works, so that no one can boast. Grace doesn't need your additions; it simply needs to be received as is.

Imagine the excitement in the early church when Paul and Barnabas returned from their first missionary journey. They gathered the believers and shared story after story, how God had opened hearts, how entire cities had heard the good news, and how the door of faith had swung wide for the Gentiles. For a church that once wondered if the gospel was only for Israel, this was world-changing news. Today, Pastor Bill will share with you how the gospel is still opening doors for people everywhere.

When hatred comes at us, it can feel like stones being hurled in our direction. The natural response is to pick up our own stones and throw them back at them. But Jesus shows us another way. He takes the rocks of anger and turns them into seeds of love, planting peace where hostility once grew. Pastor Bill will encourage you today to choose love instead of retaliation. Then you'll reflect the heart of Christ, a love that absorbs the blow without striking back. Are you ready to lay down the rocks and choose love?

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? It's more than agreeing with His teaching; it's becoming like Him. As His people, we're called to represent Christ in a world that often pushes back against Him. Today, Pastor Bill will share with you how Jesus showed love in the face of hate, grace in the face of failure, and truth in the face of lies. And now, He calls you to walk in His steps. What does it mean to be Christ-like, carrying His presence into a world that desperately needs to see Him through you?

Crowds are powerful, but they're not always right. The same people who shouted “Hosanna!” as Jesus entered Jerusalem were shouting “Crucify Him!” just days later. The crowd is often fickle, swayed by emotions, fear, or the pressure of the moment. That's why Scripture calls us to fix our eyes on Christ, not on the shifting opinions around us. Pastor Bill will explain today that following Jesus may mean standing apart. Steer clear of joining the crowd and choose to follow the voice of your Shepherd instead.

This week, Pastor Bill reminds us that sin created an unbridgeable canyon between us and God, but through His sacrifice on the cross, Jesus became the bridge, making a way for us to enter into the very presence of God.

9/28/25 Sunday Morning message

Christianity rises or falls on one event: the resurrection of Jesus. If He stayed in the grave, then our faith is empty, our hope is gone, and our message is powerless. But if He truly rose from the dead, then everything changes. Death has been defeated, sin has been conquered, and life with God is guaranteed. Today, Pastor Bill will declare that the resurrection isn't just a detail of the story; it's the foundation of your faith. Christ is the center of Christianity, and everything you believe hangs on that truth.

Isn't it the best feeling when you stumble upon something amazing? You just can't help but want to share it with everyone, right? That's precisely what Jesus' disciples went ahead and did.

They weren't just preaching rituals; they were sharing the incredible fountain of grace that Jesus offers to all of humanity. In today's message, Pastor Bill encourages you to share the joy of the gospel with those around you!

Have you ever come across the saying, “two hands are better than one”? Isn't it just better to have someone by your side for everything you do? But not every friend sticks around for the long haul. In ministry, it's not uncommon to find yourself in moments where people drift away from your side. So, does that mean you can't move ahead anymore? Today, Pastor Bill is here to remind you to keep pushing forward, no matter the challenges you face. Even when you feel alone, just remember, God is with you!

Abraham and Sarah lived with years of waiting and a body that said it was too late. God spoke a promise and then asked them to keep walking by faith. He brought life where there was no natural way forward. The same God speaks over you today. Do not call it finished when He calls it future. Hope is rising.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Bill.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

Imagine the feeling of being so overwhelmed because the court just ordered you to pay a $20 million settlement. How's your bank account looking? Would you be able to do it? Now imagine the feeling of relief when someone walks in, speaks to the judge, and the judge declares your portion paid in full. In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that this isn't imaginary. Jesus came down to earth, saw a debt you couldn't pay, and paid for it in full with His sweat, blood, tears, and ultimately His life.

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.

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.
