New Community Church of Tacoma

This week Bo Noonan continues through Ephesians with Ephesians 4:7–16, where Paul shows that Christ has uniquely gifted every believer to strengthen His church. While we are diverse in our gifts and callings, we are united in one purpose: building up the body of Christ. As each person faithfully serves, the church grows in love, maturity, and steadfastness in the truth. Join us as we explore how G...

This week Bo Noonan begins the second half of Ephesians with Paul's call to "walk worthy" of the calling we've received in Christ. In Ephesians 4:1–6, we're reminded that a life transformed by the gospel is marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and a commitment to unity. As we grow together as the body of Christ, we are called to protect the unity Jesus has already secured, living as one peopl...

This week Dawson Jones teaches from Ephesians 3:1-13 that Paul reveals the mystery that was hidden for generations but is now made known through Christ: Jews and Gentiles are united as one family in God. From prison, Paul reminds the church that his suffering serves God's greater purpose of proclaiming this good news. Through the Church, God's wisdom is displayed to the world, demonstrating His pl...

As New Community Church celebrates 20 years of God's faithfulness, we look to Ephesians 2:11–22 and Paul's picture of the church as a spiritual house built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ Himself as the cornerstone. In this message, Bo Noonan explores what it means to be firmly grounded in Christ, united as God's people, and built together for His purposes. As we...

This week, Bo Noonan teaches us that in Ephesians 2:11–22, Paul reminds believers that through Christ, the barriers that once divided people have been torn down. Jesus has made peace, bringing both Jews and Gentiles into one family and creating a new humanity united in Him. This passage reveals God's heart for reconciliation, belonging, and unity within the church. Together, we explore what it mea...

In this sermon, Alastair Moyer walks us through Ephesians 2:1-10 and the contrast between who we once were—dead in sin and separated from God—and the incredible grace that brings us to life in Christ. His message explores the depth of God’s mercy, the gift of salvation by grace through faith, and what it means to become His workmanship, created for good works. If you’ve ever wrestled with identity...

In “A Prayer to See,” Andy Cooley explores Ephesians 1:15–23 and Paul’s prayer that believers would truly understand the hope, riches, and power found in Christ. He reminds us that spiritual vision is not about seeing more of the world, but seeing God more clearly through faith. We are encouraged to live with confidence knowing the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us today....

In “Sealed with the Spirit”, Bo Noonan teaches from Ephesians 1:11-14 that believers have received an inheritance in Christ according to God’s sovereign plan and purpose. Through hearing and believing the gospel, Christians are marked with the promised Holy Spirit as a seal of salvation. The Holy Spirit serves as a guarantee of the inheritance believers will one day fully receive in eternity. He e...

This week, Bo Noonan explains from Ephesians 1:7-10 that in Christ we are redeemed through His blood and fully forgiven, not by our works but by God’s abundant grace. This grace is lavished on us, giving us insight into God’s wisdom and purpose. God reveals the mystery of His will through Jesus—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. Our redemption is not just personal; i...

This week, Bo Noonan explores Ephesians 1:3–6, focusing on what it means to be chosen, predestined, and adopted in Christ, not as points of division but as invitations to worship and unity. He emphasizes that salvation is entirely God’s work—He initiates, accomplishes, and sustains it—while our role is to receive, believe, and hope. The sermon highlights the fullness of salvation across past (elec...

This week Dawson Jones begins a new series through the book of Ephesians, exploring the question: who are we in Christ? In this first message, we’ll uncover the foundation of our identity—not based on what we do, but on what God has done for us. Ephesians paints a powerful picture of grace, purpose, and belonging that reshapes how we see ourselves. As we discover who we are, we’ll also begin to se...

This week, Bo Noonan explores the “J-curve” of the Christian life—how following Jesus involves both suffering and resurrection. Rooted in Paul’s teaching, it highlights that while we are made righteous by faith alone, our struggles become invitations to deeper fellowship with Christ. Rather than avoiding pain, we learn to see it as part of God’s work in shaping us. Through surrender, we discover t...

Bo Noonan teaches on the the truth that the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the gospel and is supported not by wishful thinking but by eyewitness testimony and historical evidence. It contrasts Jesus with other failed messianic figures to show that what changed everything was the reality that many people saw Him alive after His death. Paul emphasizes that if the resurrection is not true...

This week Joe Miriello teaches us of Jesus’ arrival fulfilling prophecy as a humble King who brings peace, yet also reveals and divides human hearts. The crowds celebrated Him on Palm Sunday but misunderstood His mission, expecting political rescue rather than spiritual salvation. Jesus wept over their blindness, warning that they missed “the things that make for peace.” The sermon emphasizes that...

Bo Noonan explores how the cross of Christ reshapes our understanding of suffering, rejecting the idea that God is either powerless or unloving and instead showing that suffering is a broken intrusion into creation tied to sin and spiritual evil. It teaches that while suffering is real and complex, the cross gives it meaning—forming maturity, producing spiritual fruit, and deepening trust in God,...

This week Bo Noonan discusses how the cross of Jesus doesn’t just save individuals but creates a new community of people transformed by it. Through Christ’s death, believers are reconciled to God and brought together as a unified people who live centered on the cross. This community is marked by boldness before God, love flowing from Christ’s love, deep joy in salvation, and a pursuit of holiness....

This week Andy Cooley shares with us how evil is real and often works quietly through ordinary human desires, drawing people into sin and bondage. Jesus came to confront and defeat these powers, bringing freedom to those who are captive and oppressed. Through His death and resurrection, Christ broke the power of evil and invites His people to share in His victory. 

Bo Noonan explains to us how the cross reveals who God truly is, His love, wisdom, justice and power, shown most clearly in Jesus giving Himself for undeserving sinners. In Christ's death, God lovingly and justly reconciles us to Himself, even while addressing the reality of suffering and evil. What seems like foolishness by human standards is actually God's wise and powerful plan of salvation, me...

Bo Noonan invites us to see that the cross reveals who God truly is—His glory and His justice together. God’s glory is shown not in fame or power, but in self-giving love, and His justice is satisfied as Jesus bears our sin. At the cross, righteousness and peace meet, and we see the heart of God on full display.

Dawson Jones invites us to explore two great achievements of the cross: justification and reconciliation. Through Christ’s blood we are justified by faith—declared righteous not because of our performance, but because of His—and through Him we are reconciled to God, welcomed home as beloved sons and daughters with full access to the Father.

Bo Noonan explains how Jesus’ death accomplishes both propitiation—satisfying God’s righteous wrath against sin—and redemption—purchasing humanity’s freedom from slavery to sin through his blood.

Ben Arnold invites us to see how the cross satisfies the justice of God and payment for sin, and graciously releases us from our debt. As we experience God's forgiveness through the cross, we are able to become people who forgive others the power of the cross.

Bo Noonan invites us to consider the question, "Why Did Jesus Die?" Though Judas betrayed Jesus, the priests handed Him over out of envy, and Pilate condemned him out of cowardice, Scripture ultimately reveals that Jesus willingly laid down His life because of our sin, according to the loving plan of the Father.

Dawson Jones invites us to follow Jesus, to have our vision of the cross sharpened and central, so that our lives are continually shaped by the cross.

Alan Frow speaks on Gospel-Shaped leadership and Bo Noonan casts vision for the next season of NCC.
