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 homes, workplaces, and communities. Learn the transformative prayer: "Come Jesus, come. Heal me where I'm broken. Increase your peace in me." This isn't just a message about personal comfort—it's a call to justice, compassion, and representing Christ in a world that desperately needs His shalom. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, dealing with difficult relationships, or seeking to understand how Christmas speaks to today's challenges, watch now and discover how to live with God's peace flowing through you to others.

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 there, but the awareness that comes with the light gives us biblical peace, security that He is always with us. This week, pray “Come, Lord Jesus, come!” When you need to be reminded of the security of the Lord!

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, connect with something greater than yourself, and reflect hope to the world. Join us to find encouragement that meets you exactly where you are and invites you into a life marked by enduring gratitude.

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 don't like or understand our circumstances. Let us practice God-centered gratitude by continuing our gratitude journal this week!

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 see the good things God is still doing in your life. Whether you're dealing with hurt from unfair situations, struggling to find joy when life is hard, or simply wanting to grow closer to God, this message offers simple, practical wisdom from the Bible that will help you find real joy again and become someone who spreads hope to others. Watch this message and catch this "good kind of contagious" gratitude that will not only transform your own life but bring healing and encouragement to everyone around you!

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 God’s goodness and never stop praying. Let us renew our joy by practicing gratitude! Write down three things you are grateful for each day for the next 30 days.

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 worship is worthy of our trust, and walks with us in the fire. Through trusting God when we are delivered, and when it feels like we aren't, we are able to find peace in even the hard times.

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, are unable to face our own failures or are afraid to fail, but God comes looking for us not to condemn us, but to call us out of hiding. Go in the strength that I have and trust God to do the rest!

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 love through Jesus' death on Calvary before you even know Him), and God measures down to meet you (becoming flesh to understand and heal your deepest wounds). Through compelling illustrations including the movie "Good Will Hunting," Pastor Hamilton shows how Jesus becomes our "secure attachment"—the source of real, eternal love that heals us from the inside out and transforms us through grace, not perfection. This message offers hope for anyone struggling with feelings of being unloved, questioning what makes Christianity different, or ready to experience the healing power of God's unconditional love.‍

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 mindset, God will make us an instrument right where we are. We always have the possibility to be a blessing in our church. Remember that what God has called us to do, we can only accomplish together. Consider being a blessing to the church community by signing up to serve.

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 attention, reflecting what we hear back and asking clarifying questions. (E) - Encourage with kindness. The act of kindness that comes with encouragement is a real-life superpower. It means doing what we can with what we have, where we are, showing gratitude to those who serve us, acknowleding the work of others with our words and our presence, and seeing and engaging with those who feel unseen. (S) - Serve with generosity. The blessings that come to us are meant to flow through us. Generosity is the ability to see a need and act without conditions. In order to be generous, we look for practical ways to meet others' needs. (S) - Share your story to give hope. Finally, we should share the stories of our blessings to give to others hope. We practice sharing our stories with Christians, and we become comfortable sharing with others who do not know Jesus to give encouragement to them and us.

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 that impact lives for eternity. The time to act on your faith is now - don't wait to seize the opportunities God places before you to care for others and share His love, as even small acts of faithfulness can lead to profound spiritual transformation. This message will inspire you to trust God and step into His promises that offer saving grace to all who believe.

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. After you have acknowledged your feelings, reorient yourself. Remember that no follower of Jesus is hopeless or powerless. Ask God to make you a blessing to others every day this week!

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 be a blessing allows us to endure suffering without giving up. Finally, being a blessing allows us to combat powerlessness by showing ourselves to be powerful against darkness in the world. Living to be a blessing does not require us to be wealthy, only to be willing. One of the ways we carry out being a blessing is to tell our stories of faith and how God works in our lives. Others learn about God's redeeming power through our stories. In addition, when we show God's love through our stories and lives, we show the many ways that God's grace is for all people. As a practical matter, we should share our stories, casually and authentically, and be honest about the ways God's plan is still a mystery in our stories. We should also extend prayer to others when they share their own stories with us, model Jesus through service, and invite others into our church communities as part of sharing our stories and being a blessing.

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 spiritual. He sees you as precious and honored in His sight, no matter your current struggles or past, and invites you to run toward Him just as you are. Jesus wants not only to deliver you from what holds you back but also to transform you into a source of hope for others, using your story of redemption to show that his saving grace is available to all, even today.

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 comes from us knowing that he is with us. We need to trust His power and walk in courage. Once we do, we’ll have peace in our hearts. Remember to trust in God’s power this week and feel the peace of God in your heart!

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 how God's covenant promises extend across generations, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ and including all who put their faith in Him. Just as Pastor Ezemdi experienced God's sovereign guidance and provision in his own journey, God invites each of us today to trust Him as our Lord, knowing that He sees us, understands our struggles, and stands ready to show Himself mighty on our behalf.

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. Yahweh hears your cries and sees your suffering. Call on Yahweh and he will act. God is a provider, and comes through for us in many life situations. God sees you, he hears your cry and has provided a way for us to be with Him. Reach out to God and He will provide!
