New Community Church of Tacoma

Andy Cooley teaches during part 2 of our Advent Series on The Gift of the Holy Spirit.

Bo Noonan kicks off this 3-part Advent Series on The Gift of the Holy Spirit by looking at who the Holy Spirit is through the Scriptures.

Bo Noonan teaches from Acts 21. We see through Paul's circumstances the power of obedience to God's call on our lives and the power of our stories of God's faithfulness. If you have questions or would like to learn more about the NCC community head to ncctacoma.org or email us at info@ncctacoma.org .

Bo Noonan teaches from Acts 20 where we get a beautiful picture of church leadership. Leaders in the church are called to serve, love, and to work in a team. This allows the church to flourish as we become apprentices to Jesus who learn to be with Jesus, to be like Jesus, and to do what Jesus does.

Bo Noonan teaches from Acts 19. In this story, we learn about the life-changing experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit as we see a group of people from the city of Ephesus encounter this blessing from God. Bo then asks the question, "Are we acquainted with our privileges as children of God?" The Holy Spirit can help us with this.

This week we take time to look at the father heart of God during what many refer to as "Orphan Sunday" - a day to remember the Church's call to care for the fatherless. Waymond Hampton shares some of his family's story in regards to adoption and looks at the scriptural basis for caring for the fatherless and the oppressed. On of the main ways NCC serves this vulnerable population is through Olive...

In this one-off teaching, Bo Noonan takes some time to look at how we, as a church in America, can show the heart of Jesus and think rightly during such divisive times.

Bo Noonan teaches from Acts 18. In this story, we see God's grace as Jesus speaks to Paul in regard to fear and mission. He then provides an encouraging and life-giving community for Paul in an unexpected place.

Bo Noonan teaches from Acts 17 and walks through the story of the Apostle Paul in the Greek city of Athens. We learn about not only what he saw and said, but how he felt and acted in this foreign place. Once again, we see that the good news of Jesus is about laying down our own liberties for the sake of others knowing the love of the savior, Jesus.

Bo Noonan teaches from Acts 16 and breaks down three amazing conversion experiences where we learn that the good news of Jesus is not for a single type of people, it is for ALL people. Whether we are skeptical, curious, or in the midst of a powerful encounter with God, there is room for us in God's family.

This week Bo Noonan shares about one of the most important meetings the Early Church ever had. It takes place in Acts 15 and has huge significance, as it clarifies both the MESSAGE and the MISSION of those who follow Jesus.

This week Bo Noonan teaches through a crazy story in Acts 14 where Barnabas and Paul are somehow mistaken for the Greek gods Zeus and Hermes. As crazy as that sounds, we all have our view of who God is, and sometimes it may be just as confusing as this story. How do we actually know who God is? Once we find the answer to that we can experience Better than Normal.

This week Bo Noonan continues our Better Than Normal series as he teaches from Acts 13 and an encounter Barnabas and Saul have with a city leader and a false prophet. Better than Normal for us this week is learning to deny the lies of our culture and religion and to receive the truth that Jesus loves us, is for us, and promises to carry our burdens and sin.

This week Bo Noonan continues our Better Than Normal series as he looks at an amazingly diverse and generous church in the city of Antioch, as seen in Acts chapter 11. As we deal with pandemics, unrest, and even wildfires, we don't just need to go back to normal, we need Better than Normal.

Alastair Moyer teaches part 14 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. Acts 12 shows us a way forward as we live life and things that are precious to us are taken away. James, one of the main leaders of the church is killed and Peter, the one that many look to for answers, is in prison. How will the church respond in these difficult circumstances? They look to the One who is be...

Andy Cooley teaches part 13 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. Acts 10 is a turning point in history that has enormous significance. In this story, we see the definitive statement from God that racism has no place in his family and we learn how anyone who is not Jewish gained the opportunity to be welcomed into the family of God.

Jake Chambers from Local Church in Gig Harbor teaches part 12 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. Acts 9 tells the life-changing story of Saul. Everything in his life changes when he meets Jesus. His life goes from normal to better than normal.

Bo Noonan teaches part 11 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. In the second part of Acts 8, we see Philip leave a burgeoning mega-church in order to go to the desert to share the good news of Jesus with one man. Why would he do that? God's heart and vision are much larger than we sometimes know. God's plan was to use Philip's encounter with the man in the desert, an Ethiopi...

Alastair Moyer teaches part 10 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. In Acts 8 we see the story of Phillip and Simon the Sorcerer. Simon's life miraculously moves from his cultural version of normal to better than normal as he learns about the amazing gift of the Holy Spirit. We don't want to settle for our culture's version of normal; like Simon, we need better than normal.

Bo Noonan teaches part 9 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. Acts 6 and 7 tell the story of Stephen, the first martyr in the early church. The moments leading up to his death show us a bridge between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant and teach us much about the amazing grace and mission of Jesus.

Bo Noonan teaches part 8 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. Acts 6:1-7 show us a crucial moment in the early church that would either lead to division or unity. The way the apostles led the church through this moment teach us much about God's heart for diversity, leadership, and every follower of Jesus' calling to minister to others, especially those in need.

Bo Noonan teaches part 7 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts. He focuses on the way the church dealt with governmental and religious freedoms in Acts 5, and focuses on their motivation based on love rather than rebellion.

Bo Noonan teaches part 6 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts, by looking at the story of Ananias and Sapphira from Acts 4 and 5 and focusing on the economy of the kingdom of God.

Bo Noonan teaches part 5 of Better than Normal, our series through the book of Acts, by looking Acts 4. We can learn much from the church's response to persecution and their prayer in light of that persecution. We believe that in the midst of the COVID pandemic we shouldn't just look to get back to "normal". We need Better than Normal.

Bo Noonan teaches part 4 of our series through the book of Acts in the story of Peter, John, and the lame man in Acts 3. He focuses on the "show and tell" nature of the kingdom of God and our need to both proclaim and demonstrate what a life empowered by the Holy Spirit looks like. As a church, we can't go back to normal. We need Better than Normal.
