In this message, we are reminded that we are not only human doings, but God made us human beings. Faith in Jesus is about both doing and being. God sees us and has a good purpose for our lives. We work in partnership with God in the formation of becoming, in order to be empowered by God in the act of doing. One of the hardest things to do is to wait on God to fulfil His promise, but we must rememb...

The Power of New by NBCC Podcast

In this message, Elder Jonathan Thomas reminded that trials are a part of our life and walk with the Lord. They are real and come in many shapes and forms, but they are also temporary. When going through trials, we must remember that they are necessary in shaping our faith, deepening our relationship with God. Going through trials reminds us that we have a living hope and that we have community, w...

Join Pastor Hurmon Hamilton for this powerful Christmas message that explores what it truly means to live with peace—not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of God's shalom in every aspect of our lives. Through the story of King Herod's disturbing response to the birth of Jesus, Pastor Hamilton challenges us to examine whether we are "peace disruptors" or people who bring peace to our h...

In this first message of the new “The Missing Peace” series, we are reminded of the light, the glory of the Lord that appeared to the shepherds, but also appears to us in our lives. Life, especially during this period can be dark, often because we feel we're invisible, alone or exposed and unsafe. The light however, reveals the truth that God exists, is with us, sees us and loves us. God is always...

Aim Your Life At What Matters Most by NBCC Podcast

Whether you're overflowing with gratitude or yearning to discover it, Pastor Hurmon Hamilton's "Forever ThankFULL" offers a transformative perspective on living with lasting thanksgiving. This final message in our "Crazy Gratitude" series, we explore what it means to be "Great Full"—discovering a type of gratitude that sustains you through both joyful and challenging seasons, shaping how you speak...

In this message, we are reminded to maintain our Crazy Gratitude and ensure it is God-centered gratitude. With God-centred gratitude we live with the awareness that all of life is a gift from God and filled with the grace of God. Maintaining a spirit of gratitude is difficult, but when gratitude disappears from our daily life, entitlement moves in. We should declare that we trust God even when we...

In this powerful message, Pastor Herman Hamilton invites you to discover something that can truly change your life - a special kind of thankfulness that doesn't make sense to the world but has the power to set you free from anger, hurt, and feeling stuck in disappointment. This isn't about pretending everything is okay when it's not - it's about refusing to let pain keep you trapped and unable to...

In this message, we are reminded that life is a gift of God's grace, so we should look at life through a lens of gratitude. Gratitude is a mindset, heart posture and worldview. We are encouraged to have crazy gratitude, being thankful for grace so deeply and consistently that it transforms how we see, think, and live. Crazy gratitude allows us to dance when life is painful, remember and celebrate...

Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Pastor Valerie Webb reminds us about how a relationship with God can allow us to survive hard times. We are all made for worship, and who we worship has an effect on how we experience life. When we worship God, we know that God is able to deliver, and is our shield and safe place, something that we cannot create for ourselves. The God we worshi...

In this message, Pastor Hurmon urges us to stop waiting to become more before we do more. God does His greatest work through the strength we already have. We all have inadequacies, but our inadequacies give God an opportunity to be acknowledged for the work He does through them. Don't allow the presence of your inadequacies to deny you from your destiny. Sometimes we hide because we feel unworthy,...

In a world filled with uncertainty and searching hearts, Pastor Hurmon Hamilton delivers a powerful message about the most life-changing decision you can make—discovering the unconditional love found only in Jesus Christ. This sermon reveals three revolutionary truths that set Christianity apart: God comes looking for you (rather than you searching for Him), God sacrifices first (demonstrating His...

In this last message of the “Be a Blessing” message series, we are reminded that after blessing us, Jesus wants to make us a blessing by blessing others through us. We can do this by being a friend to others, showing empathy and curiosity to others, and sharing our Jesus story. Whichever circumstance we are in, our purpose is to serve God by being a blessing to others. When we focus on this mindse...

In this final message of the "Be a Blessing" series, Pastor Hurmon sums up what we have learned over the past few weeks about receiving and being blessings in the acronym B.L.E.S.S. (B) - Begin with prayer. Pray each day "Lord Make me a Blessing." (L) - Listen with Love. We must listen to God's calling on our lives and listen to other people around us by slowing down, giving others our full attent...

The Blessing Of Generosity by NBCC Podcast

In this powerful message from our Be A Blessing series, Pastor Ja'Mell Agustin reminds us that God invites us to be a blessing to others through faith in action, just as Paul and Silas demonstrated through their prayers and praise even in their darkest moments. Whether through prayer, acts of service, or words of encouragement, our faithful response to God's call can create ripples of blessing tha...

In this message, we are reminded that we are not called just to receive blessings, we are called to be a blessing. Jesus calls us to carry light, not despair. We are told to be light carriers by practising the Jesus Way. This includes critiquing our own tribe, celebrating each other, practising empathy and lamenting together. It’s okay to acknowledge feelings of fear, powerlessness, and grief. Aft...

this series, we learn to reframe our mindset so that we are not just living FOR blessings, but to BE blessings. Pastor Hurmon begins by introducing four reasons why we should live as blessings. First, if we live to be a blessing, we never miss out on being blessed ourselves. Second, being a blessing makes us better, healthier, and happier people for ourselves and those around us. Third, living to...

In this final sermon in our "What's in a Name?" series, Pastor Hurmon Hamilton reminds us that God works through our circumstances to bless and reach everyone. Jesus specializes in walking into seemingly hopeless situations and transforming them into places of hope and possibility, as shown through His encounters with those living in "graveyard circumstances" - whether physical, emotional, or spir...

In this final message of the ‘What’s In A Name?’ series, we learn about El Gibbor: The MIghty One who fights for us and Jehovah Shalom: The Lord is Peace. God’s strength is divine and He steps into our physical, emotional and spiritual battles. We don’t have to fight alone, the mighty God that we have fights for us and with us. God’s peace for us does not depend on our circumstances. That peace co...

In this second message of our new series, "What's in a Name?", Associate Pastor Ezemdi Chikwendu shares how God reveals Himself as El Roi (the God who sees) and El Shaddai (God Almighty) through His faithful care for both the prominent and marginalized figures in Scripture. We hear that He intimately knows and provides for all His children. Through the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, we see ho...

In this message, we kick off the “What’s In a Name” series, looking at Yahweh (I Am) and Jehovah Jireh (God will provide). There is depth, meaning and power in a name and that is no different with God. Throughout scripture, God is revealed through names that reflect His heart, power and care for us. Yahweh delivered His people from slavery and oppression. That is who he was, is and is to come. Yah...

Acts: Seeing the Big Picture by NBCC Podcast

In this message, special guest speaker, Rev. Dr. Horace W. Sheppard Jr. shared about the various dimensions of a miracle through the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000. We are reminded that God is doing something in our hearts and lives as the miracle is being performed, so the journey is as transformational as the miracle itself. When we wait on God for a miracle, we can limit ourselves to what w...
