How to Pray—and Hear from God by NBCC Podcast

In “Lord, Teach Me How To Pray,” Pastor Hurmon Hamilton shows us what it looks like to build an honest, ongoing relationship with God through prayer. This message is for anyone who has wondered if God hears them, or felt unsure how to even pray — and reminds us that God loves drawing near to us, just as we are. Prayer was never a formula for Jesus or the early church — it carried Jesus to the cros...

Be The Sermon by NBCC Podcast

In this message, we are reminded that when we live in awe of Jesus, we give Him our yes that becomes life-changing generosity. Giving Jesus our yes enables us to connect with empathy, practice courageous integrity and lead with the power of kindness. Awe is an awareness of God’s presence and movement that changes how we live. Life-changing generosity makes room for others, gives us what God has pl...

What happens when we allow the Holy Spirit to move us beyond what's familiar? In this message, Pastor Hurmon reminds us that the holy spirit helps us cross boundaries by empowering us to see, hear, and love people beyond our assumptions. We are called to cross boundaries to proclaim the love of God. As God forms us through spiritual disciplines, we are called to connect with others. We learn about...

In "After The Benediction—Then What?," the latest message in NBCC's "Church Without Walls" series, Pastor Hurmon Hamilton invites us to discover what it looks like to carry God's presence into every part of our lives. This message speaks to anyone longing to feel closer to God this week — not just for an hour on Sunday, but in the middle of everyday life, right where you need him most. Pastor Hami...

In this message, we are reminded to engage in an active relationship with God. When times get hard for us, God can honour our desires to be disconnected in relationship. However, even when we don’t believe in God, God believes in us. We can be far from God and still experience God’s goodness. We must ask ourselves: “Do I have an active relationship with God?” We must never confuse God being good t...

Join us for the concluding message in the "Armor Up!" series as Pastor Ja'Mell Agustin shares how God equips us for life's toughest battles. Drawing from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, she helps us see that the armor of God isn't reserved for life's biggest crises — it's for the everyday spiritual warfare we face in our relationships, our homes, our workplaces, and the quiet battles going on in o...

In this message of the Armour Up! series, we study the sandals of peace and shield of faith. The shoes of peace keep us steady when life gets hard and keep us calm when spiritual battles come. They don’t protect us from storms, the storms we go through expose the shoes we're standing in. The Shield of Faith is our shield against the enemy’s attacks. When the enemy throws his fiery arrows at us, fa...

In this message, Pastor Kaloma Smith challenges us to reflect on how feeling stuck may limit our relationship with God and the blessings we share with others. Often, we find ourselves feeling put together on the outside, but feeling stuck on the inside, sacrificing our well-being, our community, and our ultimate purpose by remaining in situations where we understand what is happening to us, but wh...

In this message, Pastor Jesse explores the Belt of Truth and the Breastplate of Righteousness, revealing how God's truth anchors us and His righteousness guards our hearts so we can live with confidence and remain steadfast in Christ. Sometimes the greatest victory isn’t moving forward, it’s refusing to move backwards. When life gets tough, we want to move. Sometimes we need to stand where God has...

This is the opening message in NBCC's new series, Armor Up! Pastor Hurmon challenges us to rethink who our real enemy actually is — reminding us that our greatest battles aren't ultimately against people, but against the spiritual forces working to pull us from God's purpose. Drawing from Ephesians 6, he unpacks how God has equipped believers with His armor so we can stand firm in His truth and wa...

In this message, we interrogate who God is forming us to become, especially through seasons of waiting. Through our lives, God is forming us to become like Jesus. God forms us through prayer, scripture and community, expanding our capacity to love deeply and endure faithfully. The process of becoming involves waiting. It is our internal spiritual capacity to endure faithfully when we go through ha...

True Fulfillment by NBCC Podcast

In this message, we are reminded that the Jesus Way is not simply something we practice, it is the way in which we become more like Jesus. Part of that is engaging with people at the level of their story, practising empathy and kindness and demonstrating life-changing generosity. Jesus’ love is agape love, the highest form of love. Agape love is what we DO, not just what we say. Jesus loves us thr...

In this message, we celebrate fathers and look at how a generous heart is one of the greatest gifts a father can give his children. We look at the life of King David, who refused a free threshing floor and insisted on paying full price for his altar, declaring he would not offer God something that cost him nothing. Life-changing generosity happens when we give at a level that actually changes our...

In this message, we celebrate graduates for enduring taking on new challenges to make it to graduation. We look at the life of Joseph to see how to acknowledge God through all transitions, joyous to difficult. Irrespective of the situation, God’s presence goes with us through the difficult times (the pit) and the good times (the palace). We go through ups and downs in life, often unable to see the...

This message reminds us of Jesus' radical forgiveness, and how it restores our relationship with God and others. Using the life of Jesus and real-life examples, we learn how forgiveness is more than just letting go of pain. It also involves reframing memories, hearing the stories of others, restoring the humanity of people who caused us pain, bringing our questions to God with honesty, and remembe...

In this week's message, Reverend Liz Walker shares a compassionate and encouraging word for all those dealing with feelings of being overwhelmed during these anxious times. Between a global pandemic, political division, and the everyday weight of fear, grief, and shame, many of us are quietly struggling — and most of us aren't talking about it. Drawing from John 20, Reverend Walker reminds us that...

In this message, we are encouraged to walk out in courageous integrity. Courageous integrity is critiquing your own tribe and holding them accountable, while actively looking for what is good, admirable, or true in those you disagree with. The reason why all of us struggle with integrity is that we need something that provides us with structure and allows us to feel good about our lives. The struc...

In this week's message, Pastor Hurmon continues our focus on the practices that help us live in the Jesus Way, breaking the power of labels by teaching us to see ourselves and others through grace, truth, story, and redemption. Inspired by the surprising biblical story of Mary Magdalene, we are asked to reflect on our own experience of the shameful labels that have affected our lives — and to reme...
