Joe Miriello teaches through Jesus' statement, "I am the true vine." He builds off of God's original call to Adam and Eve to "be fruitful" and ties this call into Jesus' promise that we WILL be fruitful if we abide in him and keep his commandments. This fruitful abiding starts in our inner-being as we learn to experience the Father's love and joy through Jesus. It then grows into a fruitful abidin...

Bo Noonan teaches through Jesus' statement "I am the good shepherd." In this statement, Jesus shows us that he meets our deepest need for leadership and he alleviates our fear of abandonment. Jesus unpacks what it means that he has authority as the leader of his sheep, and he shows that his authority is protective, loving, and sacrificial. This authority calls us, as his sheep, to lay down our att...

Bo Noonan teaches through Jesus' statement in John 10: "I am the door". In the context of these verses, Jesus is directly contrasting himself with the religious leaders of Israel. He uses strong language to say that they are illegitimate shepherds - thieves and robbers - trying to create illegitimate ways into God's family, and he is the only real way in. Key Old Testament stories speak of doors i...

Bo Noonan teaches through Jesus' statement that he is the Light of the World. In saying this, Jesus is not only tying himself to the sacred name of God the Father - the I am - he is also saying that he is essential for life. He is light, the thing that sustains the world. He brings growth and fruit, he illuminates and allows us to see beauty, he shows the way forward, and he not only exposes the s...

Bo Noonan teaches on the biblical definition and natural flow of prophecy in the midst of the church and our gatherings. We are encouraged to weigh prophetic words, give them in the context of other believers, and give them with love and in a way that builds up.

Bo Noonan teaches through Jesus' statement: "I am the bread of life" found in John 6. Here we find Jesus living out the profound truth that he is much more than a good teacher; rather, he both proclaims and demonstrates the truth that he is the only answer to the deepest hunger of humanity's souls. Instead of chasing after created things to satisfy our deepest need, we find that Jesus is the suste...

Bo Noonan teaches on Jesus' first "I Am" statement during Easter Sunday. In John 11 we find the story of Lazarus' death...and resurrection. In the midst of the sickness and death of his friend, Jesus puts both his humanity and his divinity on display. He shows us his anger and sadness in regards to the power of death, but then shows his amazing power by calling forth his friend from the grave - sh...

Andy Cooley teaches on the arrival of the King of the Kingdom of God. As Jesus arrived in Jerusalem to sacrifice his life on the cross, he was received with adoration and rejoicing, yet a few days later, those who welcomed him became those who reviled him. They had projected their desires on him and he didn't deliver what they expected, so they turned on him. There is a temptation for us to do the...

Bo Noonan teaches on the Kingdom of God and healing. Throughout the entire Bible we find God revealing himself as a healer, and this is seen in great detail throughout the life and ministry of Jesus. God even calls himself by the name of Healer in Exodus 15:26. As followers of Jesus we are those who are partnering with him in his continued ministry of healing as we pray for his kingdom to come and...

Bo Noonan looks at how the Kingdom of God speaks to sex and sexuality. All of us will be discipled in sex and sexuality in some way, but many of us have not been discipled by a biblical view. The Bible has a lot to say, and in this teaching we find an incredibly beautiful view of sex that leads to life and abundance - and it starts with the creation narrative.

Bo Noonan teaches on how the Kingdom of God speaks to how we use power and authority in all areas of life. According to God's word, all power and authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus; therefore, any power and authority we have on earth is ours to steward and use as a gift from him. In a culture that says that power and authority belong to us to use for our own gain, the Kingdom of God...

Bo Noonan teaches on how the Kingdom of God speaks to our work. The Bible has a lot to say about the purpose and eternal significance of work. Work existed before sin entered the world, so it is important for us to see work as God himself sees it. In the Kingdom of God, we see that we are made in God's image and that God himself is a worker. We also see that, no matter what job we have, our job ha...

Bo Noonan teaches on what the Kingdom of God has to say about money and possessions. We see that money and possessions are not neutral things in our lives, but rather things that vie for our affections and worship. As followers of Jesus we want to view them in light of his reign and rule, which allows us to use them as tools rather than following them as masters.

Joe Miriello teaches on how the Kingdom of God interacts with and ultimately answers the question of how we can be content in this life. As we learn to trust in Jesus and his ways and seek his kingdom first, we find concrete responses to the problems of anxiety, wants, insufficiencies, and discontentment.

Bo Noonan kicks off our series The Kingdom of God with an overview of what the kingdom of God is. God himself is working out a plan to save his children, to restore all things, and we get to partner with him in that plan. In this teaching we see the overall narrative of creation > chaos > redemption > and finally new creation - and how we get to partner with the God of the Bible in this plan.

Bo Noonan closes out our series Joyful Endurance with 2 Timothy 4:9-22. In these verses we see clearly that this letter is from a real person who really followed Jesus and his ways. Paul's relationships, needs, and desire for Timothy's good, and the good of the Church, are seen in loving detail. He ends by underscoring the truth that Jesus is enough, and that soon he will be with Jesus, in his kin...

Bo Noonan teaches from 2 Timothy 4:1-8, where Paul encourages Timothy to teach and live out the truth of God's unfailing word with consistency and patience. He continues by encourages him to stay true to the calling that is on his life to trust God as his Father, to follow in his ways, and to be motivated by the reward that is laid up for him through the grace and mercy of Jesus.

Bo Noonan teaches from 2 Timothy 3:10-17. Here we find Paul continue a thought from verses 1-9, where Paul describes people who love themselves and their ways, rather than Jesus and his ways. In verses 10-17, he encourages Timothy by commending him for being different. Instead of following the way that leads to deceptions, Timothy has followed two things: 1) Paul's teaching and way of life (which...

Bo Noonan teaches during session 2 of ManCamp 2025 and speaks about the habitat we are creating for life.

Bo Noonan teaches during session 1 of ManCamp 2025 and asks the question: What are we becoming?

Alastair Moyer teaches through 2 Timothy 3:1-9, where Paul begins a list of "make sures" for Timothy. In these verses, Paul encourages Timothy to make sure that he can recognize behaviors that lead to destruction and to guard and guide the church away from them. This list is just as important for us today and it encourages us to say no to sin and say yes to Jesus and his ways - not in order to liv...

Bo Noonan teaches through 2 Timothy 2:20-26, as Paul continues to encourage and strengthen Timothy. Here we find that no matter what the narrative of a person's life has been, it can be different through Jesus. No one has to live a life of condemnation and uselessness. When we come to Jesus we receive honor, purpose, and the ability to say no to unhelpful things and yes to helpful things as we lea...

Bo Noonan teaches through 2 Timothy 2:14-19 where Paul continues to encourage Timothy to remember and to rightly handle the word of truth. Here he calls Timothy to remember to hold on to what matters and to let go of what doesn't. He calls him to preserve what needs to be preserved in the church and to persevere through what needs to be persevered through - and to know the difference.

Bo Noonan teaches through 2 Timothy 2:8-13 where Paul teaches Timothy that the fuel he needs to keep going is to remember. When we feel "wobbly" - as Timothy seemed to be - it is essential that we remember Jesus' story and his current position as the Risen King, full of grace, mercy, and welcomer of those who come to him.

Bo Noonan teaches through 2 Timothy 2:3-8, where Paul encourages Timothy to endure. Endurance is a call on the lives of those apprenticing to Jesus, and in these verses Paul does two things for Timothy's (and our) benefit: 1) he paints a picture of true apprenticeship to Jesus, and 2) he shows the purpose of true apprenticeship to Jesus.
