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. Bu…

In this second message of the ‘Hope of Peace’ series, Pastor Hurmon uses Joseph’s actions in the reading to demonstrate the importance of courage in our walk with God. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the audacity to face fear and act anyway. It allows us to face with fear with faith in God’s ability to meet us in our situation. Peace often …

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…

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 …

Pastor Hurmon Hamilton explores two essential ingredients for impactful living: rejoicing and reaching. He unpacks how cultivating an attitude of gratitude, embracing a stewardship worldview, and maximizing our God-given gifts can lead to a life of joy and purpose. Through compelling stories and biblical insights, Pastor Hamilton challenges listene…

Pastor Hurmon invites us to choose the Jesus Way. Choosing the Jesus Way will radically transform your life and relationships, particularly where there are contentions. He reminds us that it’s our differences that make us usable by God. When communicating with others, it’s important to be empathic, learning their story, relating to their pain and w…

In this message, Pastor Hurmon discusses the secret to stewardship of God's blessings to us. Biblical stewardship is management of all that God has given to us (time, talents, resources, and relationships), and recognizing that they are gifts on loan from God. We also must acknowledge that our gifts are not just from God, but are also gifts for God…

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 ensur…

In this first message of the new “Reaching and Rejoicing” series, Pastor Hurmon dives into the amazing season of growth God has in store for NBCC. Have you ever realized that God’s plans exceed our wildest dreams? As we journey together on the path He’s set for us—both individually and as a church—we're invited to grow, stretch, and aspire for more…

In this last message of the Flawed Follower series, Pastor Hurmon encourages us to start focusing on the object of our faith instead of focusing on how little faith we think we have. Jesus is for everybody. Because of who we know in Jesus, we are not beyond God’s reach, love, grace, or purpose. When friends and family or people around us count us o…

This message continues the Flawed Follower series, which discusses the life of Peter, and how his relationship with Jesus teaches us about the way we can better our own relationships with Jesus. When we feel like we have failed God, we often find ourselves trapped in a cycle of guilt, pain, and shame. But God lets us know that he's not finished wit…

Pastor Hurmon reminds us of God's loving grace, which embraces us despite our struggles to live up to Jesus' example. Even faithful followers like Peter make mistakes, but Jesus doesn't reject us — He chooses us, offering grace, forgiveness, and the potential for growth and transformation. If you're feeling unworthy or disqualified, take heart — Je…

Pastor Hurmon reminds us that Jesus uses flawed but faithful followers to build His church. People assume you can’t be a flawed follower of Jesus, but just knowing and following Jesus does not make you an unflawed follower. Flaws come from yesterday’s trauma or a lack of spiritual and emotional maturity. Your flaws do not delegitimise your faith, b…

Pastor Hurmon dives deep into what it means to trust Jesus, even when His teachings leave us feeling unsure. It’s in these moments that our faith is both tested and strengthened. We are all called to follow Jesus, despite our flaws, our doubts, and the brokenness in our lives. In this time together, we explore how embracing trust can lead to incred…

Pastor Hurmon uses the story of Peter walking on water to remind us to follow God through the storms of our lives. Real life is unpredictable, broken and shattered. With or without Jesus, we experience storms of our lives. It is better to go through them with Him. The grace of God is able to sustain you in the midst of the storm and when you come o…

This message kicks off the "Flawed Follower" series, which follows the relationship between Jesus and Simon Peter, who was one of Jesus' closest followers. Peter did not come from high social status, and he was an imperfect person, but Jesus chose to invite him into relationship as a follower and a close member his circle. In turn, Peter's relation…
