New Community Church of Tacoma

Abi Sovereign teaches on the first two words of the Lord's Prayer: Our Father. Encapsulated in these two words is the truth of Jesus' good news - the fact that our relationship with the God of the Universe has come to bring restored relationship between him and his creation! From Jesus, we find what it is to live in this restored relationship and to be daughters and son of our Father in heaven, bo...

Bo Noonan kicks off our new series on Jesus prayer from Matthew 6 by looking at a few other verses from the same chapter. Specifically, verses 5-8 where Jesus talks about how NOT to pray. Prayer is a key way we conform our hearts into the image of Jesus' heart. It is a relational practice with our Father by which we are spiritually formed. How? By practicing our position as daughters and sons who...

Dillon Neely teaches about God's great passion for saving people who are lost.

Joe Miriello teaches on the foundational truth of God's light and order breaking in to the darkness and chaos of the world. As we hear the words of Jesus, and become doers of them, God's light increases in and through us - bringing the goodness of the kingdom of God into our lives, circumstances, and the world around us.

Bo Noonan teaches about our foundational belief of what will happen at the end of the world. What we believe about the end of this world will shape the way we live our lives now. While many people twist the words of the Bible to create a narrative of fear, when we look to Jesus' words we find that his plan, and the plan of the Trinity of God, is not annihilation but restoration. Jesus will all thi...

Alastair Moyer teaches on the foundation of the Church. The beauty and power of God's people living life together is seen clearly in scripture. As his children, we now have to privilege of living in the current reality of every nation and language being unified in relationships and eternal purposes as those who have submitted our lives to the work of Jesus, our savior.

Bo Noonan teaches on the foundation of salvation through the work of Jesus. This salvation IS for all of eternity future, but it encompasses more than just the future, it is a present truth that we can live in today!

Bo Noonan shares about the foundational biblical truth of original sin. If we have a wrong view of sin we will have a wrong view of everything in the world that matter. The Bible is clear about sin, its effects on humanity and creation, and the solution to it. Sin cannot be overcome by "getting better", rather, it is overcome by Jesus - and our desire for him and his ways.

Wes Swarthout teaches on the biblical foundation of community. From all eternity past, even before Creation, God himself was in a perfect and loving community as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From the beginning of humanity's creation, we see that we have been created to enjoy and live as a part of that same community. Jesus died to make a way for us to live in that community now and to enjoy it fo...

Bo Noonan teaches on the Biblical call to build a foundation of learning to be with Jesus, be like Jesus, and do what Jesus did through discipleship - or apprenticeship to Jesus. This is not just a cultural construct, but a way of life that Jesus himself showed us and called us to.

Bo Noonan expounds on the amazing and beautiful truth that the God of the Bible is a Trinity. This truth is breathtaking and life-changing, and it is a foundation worth building our lives upon. God the Father has always existed as a Father in perfect loving relationship with the eternal Son and the Holy Spirit. Now, we have been invited into that same wonderful relationship that gives us eternal p...

Bo Noonan teaches on the foundational truth of the God of Christianity and the Bible. God reveals himself as one who can be both known and experienced. He also reveals himself as one who us self-sustaining and in need of nothing and no one. The humbling (and liberating) truth is that, in and of ourselves, we can't live with him and we can't live without him. Yet, because of our mediator, Jesus, we...

Andy Cooley kicks off our Foundations series by teaching on God's word and the beautiful fact that God spoke and continues to speak today.

Bo Noonan finishes our series Come Home by looking one last time at Luke 15, where we see God's commitment to find what has been lost. In this teaching we take time to look more deeply into the biblical truths of justification and sanctification. If we misunderstand the differences in these two truths we can find ourselves trying to earn God's love rather than learning to receive it as a gift we n...

Our good friend Jeremiah Pervez shares from his personal experience and from God's word, teaching us how to view suffering, persecution, and hope. As we bring our pain to Jesus' feet, offering it to him, he converts it to honor. As we bring our bitterness to him, offering it to him, he converts it to hope. This is grace...and undeserved gift from Jesus himself because he has known pain and convert...

Bo Noonan teaches through Luke 15:11-23, the story of the prodigal son in our series Come Home. He takes a deeper dive into the concept of "coming home" and how Jesus came to make a way for humanity to do just that.

Bo Noonan teaches through Luke 15, where we find the great lengths God will go to find what he lost...his children whom he so greatly loves. On this Easter we begin a new series about the Prodigal Son story, which exposes our hearts to God's lavish love, grace, mercy, and desire to be in restored relationship with us.

Wes Swarthout teaches from Luke 19 - a story known as Jesus' Triumphal Entry. In this story we see Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey - a symbol of both peace and royalty. He comes with the express purpose of going to the cross to accomplish his Father's work. He is intentional and intense, yet, instead of riding a war horse to declare war on Israel's enemies, he enters on a donkey to bring peac...

Miguel Villahermosa teaches through a biblical survey of worship throughout the Old and New Testaments. Throughout the Bible we see worship as a submitting of our will and our heart to God, as well as numerous actions that can follow. Worship includes praise through music, but it also includes much more.

Waymond Hampton teaches through Luke 1 in our Lenten miniseries on Luke. In Luke 1 the birth and lives of John the Baptist and Jesus are foretold to their parents. These foretellings speak of amazing promises, yet the way each story is lived out is full of both triumph and incredible difficulty. In a culture that tells us "you can do anything you set your mind to" and "anything is possible" we nee...

Bo Noonan finishes up our series Life in Bablyon by teaching through Daniel 10-12. In these verses we have more apocalyptic and prophetic teaching from Daniel. Once again, we need to remember that this type of teaching is full of symbolism, but that symbolism is meant to point us to the final victory of Jesus and not to confusion and fear. As the book of Daniel finishes, we see that even when chao...

Carl Medford teaches through Daniel chapter 9, where we find another set of dreams that Daniel shares with God's people. As we mentioned in our last teaching, these "apocalyptic" or "prophetic" texts are not meant to confuse and cause fear, but rather to help us look to our savior and king, Jesus, and the sovereignty of God, our good Father. May we be encouraged to actively learn to listen and to...

Bo Noonan teaches through Daniel 7 and 8. Here we find the beginning of a large section of what is called "apocalyptic literature", which talks about things that will happen in the future in a way that uses lots of imagery. How we read and interpret this type of scripture is incredibly important. We need to remember that scripture is not meant to lead to confusion and fear, but faith in God's sove...

Bo Noonan teaches through Daniel chapter 6 in our Life in Babylon series. Here we see the aftermath of last week's "writing on the wall" as a new king is now in charge. An 80+ year old Daniel finds himself back at center stage as the new king puts him in a place of great authority, but the king's advisors are far from pleased with Daniel and his status. As a result, they play to the king's ego and...

Bo Noonan teaches through chapter 5 of Daniel in our series Life in Babylon. Seventy years have past between chapters 4 and 5, and here we find the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, throwing a massive party that centers around a boast that the gods of Babylon are greater than the Lord God of the Hebrews. As a result of this boast, God himself writes a message on the wall of the palace that m...
