9 päivää sitten41:05

41:05

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 message will give you the tools to love on purpose - God's way. When we practice Agape Love, and develop habits of kindness, generosity, and caring attention, we "help the world to know that we are His disciples by our love for one another".…

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 thanksgiving as a way of life.…

When Love's No Becomes Yes! 46:01

23 päivää sitten46:01

46:01

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 relationship, there are consequences, and in order to restore our relationships after a boundary is broken, we must repent. Repentance means to shift our thinking, to change our minds and take full responsibility for our behavior without excuses or complaining, and to turn around and talk and act differently. With commitment to repentance, we hope to experience restoration, or rebuilding trust, healing wounds, and renewing connection after genuine change. When we experience restoration with humans, the change won't be perfect, but it will be genuine after time and commitment, and we hope to feel joy in extending grace when we are wronged and we see someone showing genuine repentance towards us. However, even if we cannot experience restoration between humans when boundaries are broken, we can always be redeemed through God.…

When Love Says No! 45:59

4 weeks sitten45:59

45:59

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 there are times when you need to let go. Even if we need to let go from others in our lives, we can continue to love and trust God. We can practically love God by showing gratitude daily, engaging in Bible study regularly, worshiping Him regularly and serving the church community.…

In this enlightening message, Pastor Hurmon Hamilton tackles one of life's most fundamental yet misunderstood concepts, love.

Through Scripture and practical illustrations,Pastor Hamilton reveals how understanding God's agape love - unconditional, sacrificial, and complete - is essential for recognizing and experiencing healthy love in all our relationships. Don't miss this transformative message that will help you: Recognize authentic love; Understand your true worth as someone God loves completely; Build healthier relationships by learning to love as Jesus loves; Experience the unlimited, unending nature of God's love for you.…

Priceless Joy 40:29

6 weeks sitten40:29

40:29

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. This message challenges us to: 1. Find His love—recognizing the eternal value of a relationship with God. 2. Let joy lead us—surrendering our whole heart and life to Him. 3. Align our goals with Him—seeking purpose in His greater plan. True fulfillment isn’t found in earthly pursuits but in embracing the love of the One who gave everything for us. We are not only seekers of treasure; we are the treasure God has pursued. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, He demonstrated the depth of His love, paying the highest price to claim us as His own (Hebrews 12:2, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20).…

A Command To Love 37:42

6 weeks sitten37:42

37:42

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 ourselves more through forgiving ourselves, setting boundaries and engaging in self-care, we can become a better neighbor. Consider saying something loving to yourself every day this week.…

Sustaining The Right Habits 49:11

8 weeks sitten49:11

49:11

In this message, Pastor Hurmon encourages us to build the habit of prayer. Making small consistent changes can lead to remarkable transformations over time, so why don’t we do that with our prayer life? If Jesus Christ had to practice the habit of prayer, and prayer was the source to Jesus’ earthly power and success, we should also be practising this habit. Prayer is the source of our power. It means we will be connected to His presence and He will give us the power, wisdom, stamina and guidance you need to navigate the broken places in life. Most of the time it is His wisdom that will empower us to become the very solution you were looking for. Pastor Hurmon introduces a template for prayer that we can use to build the habit of prayer in our lives for as little as 5 minutes a day. When we engage with God and do it seriously and consistently, God deposits power in our lives. Consider joining the 30-day prayer challenge!…

Be A Blessing 49:38

10 weeks sitten49:38

49:38

In this message, Pastor Hurmon kicks off the ‘Resolution vs Solution’ series with a word of encouragement to be a blessing in the lives of others, even during our hard times. Every year there are many people that experience breakthroughs because they move from having intentions to effective action. We need to move towards solutions and not just resolutions. This year, we should focus on being a blessing, allowing God to do revolutionary things in our lives. Being a blessing transforms us in many ways in our mind and in our spirit, increasing feelings of joy, reducing stress and enriching our lives with blessings flowing back to us. It’s a reminder that being a blessing during times of hardship, using our talents, time and influence to bless others, can help us during tough situations. Pastor Hurmon is calling us to be a blessing right now when we can even if times are hard. If you are inspired to be a blessing, you can reach out to find a way to be a blessing at NBCC a few times a month.…

Blessings 37:59

11 weeks sitten37:59

37:59

In this first message of 2025, we learn from Rabbi ILana Goldhaber-Gordon about what blessings are, and how our relationship with blessings teaches us about our relationship with God. Through exploring the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Rabbi Goldhaber-Gordon reminds us that blessings are more than luck; they are gifts from God. Blessings are not deserved, and receiving blessings places an obligation on us to be blessings to others by sharing our blessings. Blessings are not finite or limited things that can be owned or stolen. For that reason, we should celebrate not only our blessings, but the blessings we witness with others, and we should share the testimonies of our blessings as part of our witness of God's love. Finally, when we are cut off from our sense of being blessed, we are cut off from God and become lonely, but when we realize and share our blessings, they allow our relationships with God and others to grow.…

In this message, Pastor Hurmon reminds us that in these difficult times, there is still hope for the nations. He asks: Is Jesus the King of our lives? Jesus is the King of all who surrender to His authority. Jesus’ kinship is focussed on love, justice, serving others and giving His life to save ours. Christmas brings us grounded optimism: optimism in the midst of despairing circumstances. The God that we love and serve is a God of love and justice and peace. Grounded optimism rooted in God has the power to comfort us during hard times.…

As we continue our exploration of what Christmas is all about in our Hope of Peace series, Pastor Hurmon moves from themes of serenity and courage, to a focus on the wisdom and joy we need to face life's darkest moments. Life isn’t always easy — grief, illness, financial strain, and relationship challenges can leave us feeling stuck in the dark. But the Christmas story reminds us that even in our hardest seasons, God’s light breaks through. Light often comes to us in the form of WISDOM!…
