Having everything we want can feel like the ultimate blessing, but it can also be a quiet danger. When every desire is met, we start to believe we can sustain ourselves, forgetting the One who gives every good gift. Self-sufficiency can sneak in, replacing dependence on God with trust in our own strength. This is a real problem. Today, Pastor Ken will share with you about how abundance can sometimes dull your need for God, and why true life is found only when you remain fully dependent on Him.

Pastor Ken teaches through 2 Corinthians 5:1-8

As we conclude our series in the book of Joel today, Pastor Ken will remind us of the overall picture this book paints. It gives us a glimpse of what's to come when God carries out His plan of redemption. Because of mankind's rebellion against Him, led by the deception of Satan, there must first be a judgment. In that event, God will bring justice to the earth in a way our hearts long for, but the wicked dread. Once sin has been removed completely, we can experience existence as He intended it to be.

Salvation is for everyone. This presented an obstacle for many of the Jews who were confronted by the early Church. They understood God and their faith to be only for the Jews. But as Pastor Ken continues our study in the book of Joel today, we'll be reminded that Jesus came so that all men, no matter their race, ethnicity, nationality, or religious background, could have the opportunity to come and be saved and enter into a restored relationship with God.

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.

We tend to take our access to the Holy Spirit for granted, but as we'll be reminded in today's message from Pastor Ken, the Holy Spirit has not always dwelt with God's Children in the same way He does now. Because of Jesus' death on the cross, providing atonement for our souls, we can be made clean and become a welcome place for His Spirit to reside. Every believer has this amazing privilege – it's not just for a select few – and yet we often ignore His presence and guiding voice in our hearts.

Pastor Ken continues through Numbers 26-27

The quintessential Thanksgiving decor piece is the Cornucopia, better known as the Horn of Plenty. If you're unfamiliar, it's the basket shaped like a bugle chip, with fruit and veggies pouring out of it. It is a symbol of abundance, originating from the days of ancient Greece. God is no stranger to providing above and beyond, and Pastor Ken speaks today on the abundance and blessing that God is planning to pour out upon His people. God desires to bless in abundance – are you prepared to receive it?

Pastor Ken finishes Acts 9 and reads through Acts 10:1-8

Thinking about World War I and the millions who perished during that massive conflict is a horrible thing to think about. The lives lost, the blood that was shed, and the resources destroyed throughout were a travesty, a testament to the craven depravity of war. While war may never change, we can trust that God will always provide for His people. In today's message, Pastor Ken takes us through some of the possibilities surrounding future conflicts that will occur and how God will protect His people.

When I was around 6 years old, I jabbed holes in multiple couch pillows. When my parents discovered this, were they done with me? “Well, you messed up? Alright, I guess it's been nice knowing ya.” Of course not! Sure, I was disciplined accordingly, but my parents didn't give up on me! We see in the Bible time and again where God is willing and ready to reconcile with His people, despite their repeated failures. Pastor Ken reminds us today that despite our shortcomings, God is always ready to welcome us back.

Hockey. Football. Rowing. What do each of these sports have in common? They're all team sports. Perhaps you've heard “there's no ‘i' in team.” Win together, lose together, the important thing is not the winning or losing, but the fact that you're doing it together. Similarly, the Bible calls believers to live life together, leaning on one another through good times and bad. Pastor Ken teaches on this principle today, that we weren't meant to go through life alone. We were made for a strong, supportive community.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Revelation.

Think of someone in your life who is reliable. For me, that's my dad. If I have a question about something, whether it's figuring out a problem in the garage, the backyard, or with the garbage disposal, he'll have a solution. I know if I call on him, there's no doubt that he will be there for me. Similarly, we can trust that God will always be there for his people. Pastor Ken encourages us today with this message, reminding us that God will always be there to save us, whether we're calling Him for the first time or the fiftieth time.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Numbers.

In this sermon from Round Up Sunday, Pastor Ken explores Acts 16, highlighting the early church's mission to spread the Gospel to Europe. The message focuses on the diverse individuals Paul and Silas encounter in Philippi, including Lydia, a wealthy merchant, a possessed slave girl, and a Roman jailer. Through these encounters, the sermon emphasizes the importance of being open to God's plans, even when they differ from our own, and the transformative power of faith in Jesus. Listeners are encouraged to prioritize sharing the Gospel and supporting one another in faith, recognizing that God's ways often lead to unexpected and miraculous outcomes.

Join us as Pastor Ken wraps up our summer study in the book of Philippians.  

Taking a leap of faith is no easy task, especially at 18,000 feet out of a perfectly good airplane. But take skydiving out of the picture. Perhaps the slightly easier thing to do is to take a step in faith. Unless, of course, that step of faith is out of a perfectly good boat, in the midst of a raging storm, out in the middle of the sea. God asks for people to trust Him in all things, and it's tough to do in the hard times. In today's message, perhaps Pastor Ken can help you think about your next “step of faith” with God.

Pastor Ken begins through Acts chapter 9

I decided to go for a hike one afternoon and spend some time in the great outdoors. I packed my gear, went to the trail, and when I was ready to make camp, I made an alarming discovery – I had forgotten all the food! Lucky for me, I could hike back to my car and drive back into town, but the people of Judah were in a much tougher situation! Today, Pastor Ken takes us through the dire straits that Judah was in, and how their terrible situation showed them their need for total dependence on the Lord.

The Bible says that there's no condemnation for those who believe in Christ Jesus. In today's message, Pastor Ken says all God asks us to do is repent of our sins and believe that He's the only one who can save. Is there any sin you're holding back from the Lord? Now's the time to repent and let Him in. He loves you and wants you to trust Him to take away your sins for good. God sent His Son, so you don't have to walk this walk on Earth alone. He gave you a way to have freedom. Walk in that freedom today!

There's destruction all around us. Every moment, it seems like there's another war or another country that's in shambles. In today's message, Pastor Ken says that though there's tragedy all around but God's still blessing His people. God loves you and wants you to depend on Him so He can bless you. Trust Him with your whole heart and allow Him to walk alongside you as you tread through the highs and lows of life. He wants your heart and won't stop fighting for you until He gets it. Allow Him in today!

Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted something to happen, but it might come at the expense of others? Maybe everyone in your class cheated, and you didn't, so you wanted them to get caught because you felt it was unjust. Today, Pastor Ken says the believer feels the tension of wanting Jesus to return soon because that means those who don't believe will go through immense trials. Have urgency in sharing the gospel so more can be with Him for eternity. He wants all to believe in Him alone!

Luke 24:13-34 - In this message, Pastor Ken emphasizes that the ultimate Bible study happens when Jesus Himself leads us through Scripture—as He did for the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—bringing clarity, conviction, and joy.

Sometimes God will strip us of everything we have, so we have no choice but to turn to Him. Today, Pastor Ken says Judah had all its crops stripped away, so they had to depend on the only one who could save them. Is all your hope in Jesus? He wants you to trust Him with any circumstance because He loves you. Give Jesus a chance to change your life. He wants you to follow Him and give all your burdens to Him. Allow Jesus to guide you through every circumstance and find peace in His loving arms.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Acts.

When we look around us, all can seem lost. There's brokenness all around! It seems like anything humanity touches turns bad. This is a result of sin entering the world! Today, Pastor Ken says we only have one hope, and His name is Jesus. You must turn to Him to save you from this world. The things around you will always try to distract you from the truth, which is that Jesus is your only hope for true salvation. He wants all to know Him and believe.

When food becomes rotten, it's impossible to eat. Now, imagine if everything you bought or owned that was edible became rotten at the same time. In today's message, Pastor Ken says the locusts in Joel's time took over all the harvest and made it inedible. This caused everyone to rely on the Lord for their strength. Without any hope for food, they had no choice but to follow the Lord and trust that He would save them. Sometimes, God takes away all you own to remind you that He's all you need.

There's a constant fear in everyone's heart that they aren't doing enough. It causes us to worry and experience anxiety. In today's message, Pastor Ken says we must give all our hardships to the Lord. When you do that, He's able to take on all your burdens and fight with you. He loves you and wants you to be free from the bondage of sin! Jesus says His burden is light and His yoke is easy. Fight the lies of this world with the one who can take all burdens and make them lighter. He wants you to lean on Him!

If you've ever watched UFC, you'll know that when they go in the ring to fight, there's a set time that the fight ends. In today's message, Pastor Ken says we're in a fight of our own. You see, the enemy's constantly fighting for your heart. There's no end to this because he won't stop until he wins. You must stay on guard and alert! He can't win if you lean on Jesus and allow Him to guide you through any situation. Where the Lord is, the enemy flees! Trust in God and let Him fight this fight for you!

Pastor Ken preaches on Ps. 104.

When a child takes their first steps, it's a moment that's cherished forever. A parent will never be able to recreate that first moment with their child, but they can have similar moments happen around them that remind them of it. In today's message, Pastor Ken says the tribulation will be a unique situation and that no one will be able to say, “I remember feeling like this before,” because there's nothing comparable to it. Christ is coming back for those who love Him. Be prepared for His return!

Pastor Ken continues through the book of Acts and reads chapter 8 verses 1-25

What's our instinct when something good happens to us? To go tell everyone we know so that they can celebrate with us! In today's message, Pastor Ken says there's urgency to share the gospel with others because we're always one generation away from the gospel being gone forever. You must share the love of Christ with others. If Jesus has changed your life, your job is to celebrate that from the rooftops! He's saved you and loves all! Don't be the reason the next generation doesn't know the love of Jesus.

While driving, it feels unjust that people can speed and pass others or even drive and cut others off. But have you ever had that happen and seen that person get pulled over? It's extremely satisfying to see, as there was justice in an otherwise unjust situation. In today's message, Pastor Ken says, you must love your enemies even if they've done wrong to you, because God will bring justice in the end. Your hope must be in the Lord, who guides and promises to one day bring justice to all things.

What does it look like to bring the heart of a disciple into your marriage? In this episode, Pastor Ken Senchal delivers a transformative message from our Summer of Change series — diving into how God's original design for marriage still applies today, even in a culture that constantly tries to redefine it. Marriage isn't just a social contract — it's a holy covenant designed to reflect the love between Christ and the Church. But sin distorted that design, introducing selfishness, power struggles, and brokenness into our relationships. The good news? Jesus redeems what sin tried to destroy — including our marriages. Whether you're single and preparing, engaged and learning, or married and growing, this message is packed with wisdom and hope. Pastor Ken breaks down: Why marriage is about sacrifice, not self-fulfillment How mutual submission creates unity, not control The importance of submitting to Christ before submitting to each other What husbands and wives are called to be — not just do This episode is a call to rise above cultural noise and build homes founded on God's truth. Listen in and discover how to reflect Jesus in your relationship, starting today.
