New Community Church of Tacoma

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.

Bo Noonan teaches on the amazing truth that Jesus, fully God for all eternity past, became flesh - fully human - so that humanity could become part of his family for all eternity future. This is the story of Christmas, and God's amazing gift to all of humanity.

Andy Cooley teaches through 2 Timothy 1:8-2:2 in our series Joyful Endurance. In these verses, Andy builds on three points in regards to Paul's encouragement to Timothy concerning the gospel of Jesus: 1) The gospel is true and of extreme and ever-deepening worth. 2) The gospel and our faith in it are entrusted to us by God and need to be guarded. And 3) The gospel needs to be passed on to others. 

Bo Noonan teaches from 2 Timothy 1:6-12, where Paul encourages Timothy to "fan into flame" the Holy Spirit's presence and purposes in his life through diving into the gospel and being with God's people. In Paul's day, and in ours, there is a call to give our lives to SOMETHING. Paul's encouragement to Timothy is to spend his life, not on himself, but on the gospel of Jesus by the power of the Holy...

Bo Noonan teaches from 2 Timothy 1:1-5, where we begin with a story of deep friendship, joy, and generations of faith. Paul then charges Timothy to give himself to a life well-lived, as he follows Paul's example. That said, Paul's definition of a life well-lived flies directly in the face of what culture might expect. Paul's life included difficulty, prison, beatings, rejection, and much lack of p...

Bo Noonan kicks off our new series, Joyful Endurance, which will be a walkthrough of the 2 Timothy - Paul's letter to his faithful apprentice, Timothy. In this overview of the letter, we find out that Timothy is in the city of Ephesus doing his best to equip the church, lead himself, and point people to Jesus. It has been a hard go for Timothy...and for Paul, who is in prison has he writes this le...

Carl Medford teaches about becoming a community who wars, not against other people, but against the things the Bible calls us to war against. The good news is that Jesus has won the ultimate war, allowing us to be brought back into an eternal and loving relationship with our Father. As a result, we now battle against spiritual enemies that would try to hijack that relationship for us and for other...

Bo Noonan teaches on the counter-cultural type of leadership that Jesus calls his followers to. Throughout scripture we see the complimentary roles that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have played throughout eternity past and into eternity future - they are fully equal in standing, yet they play different roles. It is the same in the church. We are all equal in standing because of the work of Jesus,...

Bo Noonan teaches on the importance of being both a Word and Spirit community. We believe that the Bible is fully true and points us to God's order, way of life, and his love. We also believe that we fully need the empowering presence and the seal of adoption that the Holy Spirit gives us, which allows us to know God intimately as Father. We are a both/and church that is learning to give ourselves...

Bo Noonan teaches about remembering the benefits we have as followers of Jesus - especially the presence of God in healing. As we pray for others and trust God in his work of healing, we see in his word that we should pray with authority, with compassion, and with great faith. May we be a church that believes God, prays for others to be healed, and begins to act on every nudge from the Holy Spirit...

Bo Noonan teaches about being a healthy and healing community, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Being a healthy church means that we must remain in love with Jesus, connected to him as our Source, and continually be receiving from the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. That said, it remains true that many have experienced real hurt in the church in many forms. By God's gra...

Travis Aicklen, from Radiant Church in Visalia, CA, encourages us to be a community that endures. He takes us to the story of Timothy and Paul, and their exchanges in 1 and 2 Timothy. Through these exchanges he helps us see a way to endure and continue on in faithfulness to the call that God has placed on us as a church. As we look to the faithfulness of Jesus over generations and see it in the li...

Bo Noonan teaches through Jesus' model of mission from the story of the "Samaritan Woman at the Well" in John 4. He unpacks a biblical model of mission seen in the acronym B.L.E.S.S. - Begin with prayer / Listen / Eat together / Serve / Share your God story. This model can be lived out in our lives, our families/friend groups, and through our Community Groups.
