In this message, Pastor Hurmon encourages us to live under the influence of the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the transformation that happens in our lives when we receive Him. We should take advantage of every opportunity to be influenced by the power of the Holy Spirit to lead us to make wise decisions in our lives. We can do this by identifying and associating with light and things that honour the...

In this message, we learn how to become a godly influence, living a life that pokes holes in the darkness. Godly influence begins with the right heart posture, so it is important to live from a Spirit-shaped heart. The Beatitudes provide guidance on the heart posture we should have. We can also become a godly influence by cultivating a fruit-bearing faith, ensuring that our private devotion fuels...

In this message, Pastor Dan Monroe discusses what it means to be equally yoked in the different types of relationships we encounter in life, including our marriages, dating relationships, friendships, business relationships, friendships and workplaces. We learn why being equally yoked to others who share our faith is important, how being equally yoked can benefit our walks with God, how being uneq...

Pastor Ja Mell Augustin kicked off our new series, "Under the Influences," by drawing a powerful parallel between maintaining a clean pond and guarding our spiritual hearts, based on Proverbs 4:23. Using personal experiences and biblical wisdom, she explains how we can become better spiritual gatekeepers, protecting our hearts from harmful influences while making room for God's transformative pres...

In today's gathering, we focused on praying for the miracle of healing from trauma. Pastor Hurmon gave us five specific miracles to pray for. We can often struggle to name exactly what happened to us, so the first prayer is for “Courage to Name My Wound Without Shame”. Trauma doesn’t just hurt us—it shapes us. It can show up in many obvious and covertly destructive ways in our lives. Our second pr...

Restoration doesn’t mean erasing our trauma—it means letting Jesus redeem it, reframing our story with grace and purpose. Just as He met the disciples in their fear and showed them His wounds, Jesus meets us in ours, offering peace, healing, and a renewed calling. Through naming our pain, reclaiming our emotional truth, and reconnecting with others, we partner with God in turning our wounds into h...

In the second message of the “Restored” series, we called to name our wounds to begin healing. This is because we are restored not by hiding our wounds, but by naming them. We are reminded in the scripture that we are not the only ones that experience trauma, the disciples experienced trauma when hiding from persecution after Jesus’ death. It is important to acknowledge how our trauma has has shap...

In this week's message, Reverend Liz Walker shares her testimony regarding how we can experience restoration in our lives through a relationship with God. Reverend Walker begins by sharing how her relationships with others encouraged her call to ministry. She then shares about how seeking and abiding in God and being in relationship with others helped heal trauma that was being experienced within...

In this final message of the “Rooted” series, Pastor Hurmon invites us to be rooted in our faith during the turning points in our lives. Life’s defining moments — moments of joy, pain, loss, success, disappointment, or transition can either push us toward God and deeper trust, or away from God and into doubt. It’s not the event itself that grows or erodes our faith, it’s how we interpret it. Our i...

In this compelling sermon from the "Rooted" series, Pastor Hurmon Hamilton emphasizes the transformative power of personal ministry through Jesus's example of foot-washing, highlighting that faith matures through action, not just learning. He uses practical examples to encourage and illustrate how stepping out to serve allows God to grow something in us that cannot be obtained through listening to...

In this message, Dr. Rhonda Hamilton highlights the importance of trusting God. Even when we are doing God's work diligently, life can present many stressors through work, family life or health struggles. The overwhelming stressors can feel like a militia coming towards us. In those times, we should remember that God is always with us. The Lord will equip us for everything He calls us to do. We sh...

When the Word Comes Alive by NBCC Podcast

Today, we celebrate the redeeming love of Jesus withan inspiring Easter message called “Redeemed”. Continuing our series on Forgiveness, Pastor Hurmon surfaces the incredible redemption available to every person through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Neither our sin nor our trauma defines us. God’s redemption does. We are forgiven. Because Jesus lives, you don’t have to keep reliving...

In this message of the “Forgiven” series, Pastor Hurmon reminds us why it is important to forgive. Forgiveness sets boundaries without keeping bitterness and liberates you. Forgiveness hands the burden of revenge over to God—and sets you free in the process. Forgiveness does not reduce or deny the severity of the pain we have experienced, nor is it a sign of weakness. Refusing forgiveness can cont...

In this third message in the Forgiven series, we discuss what to do when we we sincerely repent for our sins and God grants us his extravagant grace, and works through us, but we still struggle to forgive ourselves. It can be hard to forgive ourselves because: 1. Our brains replay the pain of our actions; 2. We confuse responsibility with condemnation; 3. Trauma whispers "I'm unworthy;" 4. Perfect...

In this week's powerful message Pastor Hurmon addresses those who sometimes struggle with feeling truly forgiven - even after asking God for forgiveness. He explores why we often remain trapped in guilt and shame, and reveals how God's grace offers us not just forgiveness, but a whole new way of viewing our mistakes and growth. Just as Jesus met David in his darkest moment, this message will show...

In the first message of the “Forgiven” series, Pastor Hurmon reminds us that we need forgiveness because good people mess up sometimes. Luckily for us, forgiveness is always available and the bigger the sin, the bigger the gift of forgiveness we receive from God. Pastor Hurmon uses the story of Nathan confronting David on the sins he committed to highlight the deception of sin, the necessity of co...

In this powerful message, Pastor Hurmon reveals how we are called to be God's agents of love in a broken and polarized world. Drawing from Jesus' greatest commandments in the books of Mark and John, he shows how true love must be intentional and purpose-driven. Whether you're struggling in relationships, seeking to grow in your faith, or wanting to make a difference in our divided world, this mess...

In this message, Pastor Stan Johnson uses the story of Jesus cleansing ten lepers to remind us of the importance of thanksgiving. He reminds us that grace is at the heart of thanksgiving and obedience, healing, and faith are connected to thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is not to be a seasonal occurrence, but a daily occurrence for the grace that we know in Christ Jesus. He encourages us to use thanksgi...

When we put god first in our lives, we are able to use our relationship with Him and our experience of His love for us to understand what it means to have healthy love in our other relationships. In this week's sermon, we learn about what unconditional love looks like through the lens of repentance. Unconditional love does not mean love without boundaries. When we break a boundary in a relationshi...

In this message, Pastor Hurmon calls us to set boundaries because we can say no as an act of love. One of the ways that God’s love works in our life is that it points us toward honouring boundaries. When boundaries are violated in your life, it creates harm and destruction. The deeper we experience the love of God the easier it is for us to recognise healthy love in our lives. Agape realizes that...

In this enlightening message, Pastor Hurmon Hamilton tackles one of life's most fundamental yet misunderstood concepts, love. At a time when artificial intelligence can simulate relationships and our culture often reduces love to mere emotions, what makes love such a big deal? Whether you're single, married, or anywhere in between, this message will deepen your understanding of love's true meaning...

In this powerful conclusion to our Resolution vs. Solution series, Pastor Tilden uncovers how our pursuit of success, fulfillment, and personal growth ultimately points us to our greatest need: a relationship with God. If you've ever felt the frustration of unmet goals or fleeting motivation, this message offers a fresh perspective—one that shifts the focus from self-reliance to divine dependence....

In this first message of the Love on Purpose series , Hon. Shelyna Brown-Hamilton invites us to love ourselves on purpose. This is because we have difficulty seeing and trusting God’s goodness when we don’t love ourselves. Not loving ourselves leaves us with a distorted view of God’s love for us and an inability to love God the way we should (with our hearts, souls and minds). By learning to love...
