Turning Points That Grow Us

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 interpretation can be shaped by both our worldview and the people we are doing life with. We should ensure that we engage in providential relationships that God uses to speak to us, support us, and shape us spiritually because we were never meant to face our pivotal moments alone. When we experience turning points rooted in providential relationships we receive perspective, presence and perseverance.

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 the messages and teaching alone. The sermon powerfully demonstrates that service is worship in action - challenging viewers to move beyond passive faith to active ministry, making this message essential viewing for anyone seeking deeper spiritual growth through practical service.

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 should refrain from being afraid, thanking God for everything we know he has done before and let His peace wash over us.

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 past trauma and pain. You can write a different ending, learn to accept God's forgiveness, and let his love flow through you to those around you.  ‍

When Love Says No!

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.

Be A Blessing

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 13, 2025 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

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.

In the lead-up to Christmas, we kick off the Hope of Peace Series. In this first message, Pastor Hurmon uses the discussion between Mary and Gabriel to discuss the ways we are able to find and experience peace in a time of turbulence and uncertainty. In order to do this, we must remember that even though we have a story that dominates our life, our most important role is as a part of God's ultimate story. When we focus on God' story, we remember that there is peace, even in what appears to be uncertainty, and we are able to find perspective. While our story may change from good to bad, and is focused on the day to day, God's story lasts forever, always points towards bringing people back into relationship with God. The way we focus on God's story is by remembering that God has a calling and purpose on our lives; saying "yes" to that calling, even when we aren't sure what that entails; and using even our hard times and uncertainty to bring glory to God. In addition, we must focus on and engage with God's will; stop trying to control what's not ours to control; and trust God with the things we cannot change. When we do this, we are able to find serenity in God's ultimate stories, no matter what is happening in our own dominant stories.

Sequoia Church Lead Elder & Future NBCC Elder 2025, Brad Jung, highlights the power of prayer. Pray is meant to bring us into relationship with God, and Jesus has set the example of being in communion of God through prayer. Prayer is more than just asking God, it's experiencing God. God doesn't always answer our prayers the way we want him to, but He is always with us. God responds to persistence, giving us what our souls crave. Even if we don't feel like our prayers our answered, we will always have His ultimate gift – the Holy Spirit.

Don't Miss Your Kairos Moment

In this message, Pastor Hurmon teaches us about kairos moments: the opportune, divine moments when God acts or presents a special opportunity. This is when eternity and historic time intersect. When you're dealing with kairos, you can meet the moment, but you cannot make the moment. Pastor Hurmon teaches us how to recongise kairos moments and ensure that we do not miss these moments in our lives. He reminds us that when it looks like God isn't doing anything, God is moving. Sometimes in the waiting period, it gets worse before it gets better. You have to trust God anyway because God sees what you cannot see. Even when we feel like we've missed a kairos moment, God is a redeeming God. He can redeem missed moments and create fresh opportunities. Remember that God speaks to us, grants favour and orchestrates times and seasons.
