Deacon Omar Martinez - It is Finished

IT IS FINISHED | Deacon Omar Martinez | CCBNYC What happens when the doctors give you a diagnosis, but God gives you a testimony? Join us for a powerful message from Deacon Omar Martinez under the title “It Is Finished.” Deacon Omar ministers from the NLT Bible, bringing together powerful Scriptures from Psalm 147:3, Isaiah 53:4–5, Mark 5:25–34, James 5:14–16, and John 19:28–30. From the woman who suffered for twelve years and reached out in faith to touch the garment of Jesus, to the declaration Jesus made on the cross—“It is finished”—this message reminds us that Jesus is still our healer, our deliverer, and our hope. But this message is also personal. Deacon Omar shares his own testimony of a miracle in which the Lord restored his lungs after a medical diagnosis. What looked like a diagnosis became a testimony. What looked impossible became an opportunity to see the power of God. Psalm 147 reminds us that God heals the brokenhearted and cares for those who are hurting. Isaiah 53 points us to Christ, who carried our suffering and bore our pain. And in John 19, Jesus declared that His work was finished. The diagnosis may have been written, but God had the final word. If you believe God is still healing, restoring, and performing miracles, this message is for you. Watch, listen, and be encouraged. “IT IS FINISHED.”

Deacon Amber Ramirez - Jesus you're (Late) Right on TIME!

Jesus, You’re Late… Right on Time! Deacon Amber Ramirez brings a powerful and timely word under the title “Jesus, You’re Late… Right on Time!” Reading from the New Living Translation (NLT), Deacon Amber ministers from Mark 5:12, John 11, and Matthew 14, reminding us that God’s timing is always perfect—even when it does not happen according to our schedule. In John 11, Lazarus had died, and it seemed like Jesus had arrived too late. But Jesus showed that what looked like the end was only an opportunity for God’s glory to be revealed. In Matthew 14, the disciples were struggling against the wind and waves, but Jesus came to them walking on the water. He showed them that even in the middle of the storm, He is still in control. And through the message of Mark 5, we are reminded of the authority and power of Jesus to step into impossible situations and bring transformation. Sometimes we ask, “Jesus, where are You?” But God is saying, “I’m not late. I’m right on time.” Be encouraged, be strengthened, and prepare your heart for this powerful word from Deacon Amber Ramirez.

Dr Joshua Modeste - "Burn The Chariots"

Welcome to CCBNYC, where we believe that when God gives you a word, He also gives you the strength to walk in victory! Today, we are blessed to hear from Deacon Dr. Joshua Modeste, preaching under the powerful title: “BURN THE CHARIOTS.” Doctor Joshua Modeste message comes from Joshua chapter 11 in the New Living Translation, where Joshua is facing an enemy army that is massive, powerful, and equipped with something Israel had never seen before—iron chariots. The enemy looked stronger. The enemy looked better equipped. The enemy appeared impossible to defeat. But God told Joshua in Joshua 11:6, “Do not be afraid of them.” What a powerful word! God was reminding Joshua that the size of the enemy does not determine the outcome when God is on your side. What looks impossible to you is never impossible for God. And then Joshua did something remarkable. Joshua 11:9 says that Joshua burned their chariots. Why would Joshua burn the chariots? Because God was teaching Israel not to depend on the weapons of their enemies. The chariots represented the strength, power, and advantage that had intimidated them. But once God gave them victory, Joshua made sure those chariots could never become a source of fear again. Sometimes, God will give you victory over the very thing that once intimidated you. And when God gives you that victory, don't keep the chariot—burn it! Burn the fear. Burn the doubt. Burn the intimidation. Burn the dependence on what looks powerful in the natural. Joshua 11 reminds us that God does not need our enemy to be weak for us to win. He only needs us to trust Him. So get ready for a powerful and timely word from Deacon Dr. Joshua Modeste as he brings the message: “BURN THE CHARIOTS!” Stay connected, open your heart, and prepare to receive what God has for you today. CCBNYC — Let the Word of God speak, let faith rise, and let every chariot that has been standing against you be burned! Be blessed, and let's get into the Word of God!

Deacon Carlos Andujar - Who Do You Serve?"

Deacon Carlos Andujar brings a powerful message titled "Who Do You Serve?", based on Joshua 24:15 (NLT): "But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve... But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord." In this message, Deacon Carlos challenges believers to examine who or what truly has first place in their lives. In today's world, many people are drawn to the pursuit of money, fame, power, social media influence, and worldly status, often placing these above God. Yet none of these things can compare to the eternal blessings, peace, and purpose that come from serving the Lord. Joshua's declaration reminds us that every person must make a choice. Will we serve the temporary things of this world, or will we faithfully serve the living God? This sermon calls us to reject the distractions of the world and wholeheartedly commit ourselves to the One who alone is worthy of our worship and obedience.

Breaking the Power of the Curse

Apostle Dr. Axel Pacheco brought a powerful message at CCBNYC titled "Breaking the Power of the Curse." Using the New Living Translation (NLT), he showed how Jesus broke the curse of sin through His death on the cross and gave us new life in Him. The message was based on: Genesis 3:17 Romans 8:1 Galatians 3:13–14 Colossians 2:14–17 2 Corinthians 5:17 As he preached, Apostle Pacheco reminded us that we don't have to live under guilt, fear, or the weight of our past. Because of what Jesus did, we have forgiveness, freedom, and a new beginning. We are no longer defined by our mistakes. We are made new in Christ. This was a strong and encouraging word for everyone who wants to grow in their faith and understand what Christ has already done for us. We pray this message blesses your life and helps you walk in the freedom God has given you. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe for more messages from CCBNYC. May God bless you.

In this message, Pastor Tony Mills walks us through the season before marriage, reminding us that preparation, wisdom, healing, and spiritual growth are essential before making a lifelong covenant.

Proverbs 14:12 (NLT) — “There is a path before each person that seems right…” A call to seek God’s wisdom and not only our own understanding.

Pastor Milton De Jesus - "Are you in the Quiver or Out"

Today’s message is “Are You in the Quiver or Out?” — reading from the NLT: Psalm 127 and 2 Kings 14:14–19. A gentle invitation to reflect on whether we’re positioned and equipped by God for His purposes or wandering off course. May the Holy Spirit guide our hearts to trust, receive His provision, and find our place in His plan. Amen.

Pastor Luis Guzman - "Let God Sort Them Out"

“Let God Sort Them Out,” taken from Matthew 13:24–30 in the New Living Translation. Through the parable of the wheat and the weeds, Jesus reminds us that the enemy may sow confusion among God’s people, but the Lord Himself will separate the righteous from the wicked in His appointed time. Our calling is not to walk in bitterness, judgment, or revenge, but to remain faithful, holy, and full of the love of Christ while God works all things according to His perfect will. As we continue in Matthew 18:12–14, we see the heart of the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to seek the one that is lost. Heaven rejoices over every soul that repents and returns to the Father. The Word of God in Proverbs also gives us divine wisdom for daily living. Proverbs 26:11 warns us not to return to foolish ways like a dog returning to its vomit. Proverbs 17:22 teaches that “a cheerful heart is good medicine,” while Proverbs 19:19 reminds us about the danger of uncontrolled anger. Proverbs 15:3 declares that the eyes of the Lord are everywhere, watching both the evil and the good. Nothing escapes the sight of Almighty God. Through 1 Corinthians 15:3, we are reminded of the foundation of our faith: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. And in Matthew 28:16–20, Jesus gives the Great Commission, commanding His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Prepare your heart for a Holy Spirit-filled word that will encourage you to trust God’s justice, walk in forgiveness, remain faithful in difficult seasons, and allow the Lord of the harvest to separate and judge in His perfect timing.

Pastor Johanna Almeida- "What Broke Me Built Me"

Today, Pastor Johanna Almeida brings a message titled “What Broke Me Built Me.” This is more than a testimony it’s a revelation. What the enemy meant for destruction, God used for development. Every moment of pain, every season of breaking, was not wasted it was part of the process of being built into who God has called you to be. If you’ve ever felt broken, overlooked, or stretched beyond your limits, this message is for you. God is still building, still restoring, and still working through it all. Open your heart, stay connected, and prepare to receive a word that will shift your perspective and strengthen your faith.
