New Community Church of Tacoma

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.

Alan Frow walks through the miracle of the loaves and fishes to show us the dynamics of a multiplying church.

Bo Noonan introduces our new series, The Cross, showing us that the cross shapes everything from how we are saved and transformed to how we preach, endure persecution, pursue holiness, and boast only in Christ. 

Bo Noonan concludes our series in Ruth by reflecting on the quiet, steadfast kindness of God that turned Naomi’s bitterness into joy. In the loss and emptiness God’s hidden hand was at work, preparing not only restoration for Naomi and Ruth, but salvation for the world through the line of David, fulfilled in Jesus. This closing scene invites us to trust that even when we cannot see it, God is fait...

Bo Noonan invites us into the final act of the story of Ruth, where God's hidden providence and Boaz's sacrificial initiative meet. Boaz leaves a legacy of everyday love and faithfulness as God weaves his everyday acts of kindness into a bigger story.

Andy & Alissa Cooley invite us to follow the faith of Ruth and Boaz, that risks and works through love for God, justice, and each other.

Dave Holden encourages us to remember that God's initiates his kingdom, sustains it, and grows it.

Dave Holden gives us three reasons to hunger and thirst for more of the Spirit.

Dawson Jones, through the story in Ruth 2, invites us to see that there are no little people and no little places in the story of God. Everyday providence and everyday kindness in the midst of everyday life are often the very arena in which God's redemptive story plays out.

Bo Noonan invites us into the tension of the story of Ruth 2 as Naomi interprets her loss as evidence that God is against her. Yet, the quiet rays of God’s hesed begin breaking through—most vividly in Ruth’s stubborn, covenantal love. The story echoes Advent, which begins in the dark as God himself moves toward His people in grace.

Andy Cooley introduces our new Advent series: Ruth--A Nativity Story, a story that begins in famine, tragedy, and spiritual decline. Yet in the darkness, there is always hope as we return to the Father's house.

Bo Noonan closes the Under Construction series by calling us to make space for a Spirit-filled life. The same Spirit that empowered Jesus now gives believers diverse gifts of love, word, and power for the common good. The church’s goal is not success or size, but maturity, unity, and love as each member uses their gifts to reveal God’s presence and serve others.
