The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

When Love Says No! 45:59

hace 12 días45:59

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.…

Priceless Joy 40:29

hace 25 días40:29

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

hace 26 días37:42

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

hace 6 weeks49:11

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

hace 7 weeks49:38

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

hace 8 weeks37:59

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.

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!…

The Courage To Step In 48:49

hace 12 weeks48:49

48:49

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 requires the courage to step into uncomfortable circumstances, whether that is in our walk with God to repair relationships with others in our lives. Courage requires small steps of obedience, but those small steps taken consistently can change your life. When being courageous feels hard, remember that courage is strengthened by living one day at a time. Pastor Hurmon also reminds us to learn the Serenity Prayer as it is a prayer that God is anxious to answer in our lives and is structured to change how we engage in life through periods of crisis.…

The Search For Inner Peace 49:12

hace 13 weeks49:12

49:12

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.…
