New Community Church of Tacoma

Waymond Hampton teaches through Mark 14:32-42 where we find Jesus and the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane on completely different pages. As the disciples rest contentedly, Jesus fights an intense spiritual battle, which will ultimately reverse the curse of sin that began in another garden with Adam and Eve.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 14:26-31 and 66-72 where we see two scenes that highlight both Peter (and the other disciples') crumbling resolve and Jesus' great grace, even when he knew that betrayal was coming.

Bo Noonan teaches through Luke 18:9-14, where we hear Jesus tell the story of two diametrically opposed figures talking to God - a religious leader and a political traitor. The one whom Jesus calls "right with God" is surprising.

Wes Swarthout teaches through Mark 14:12-25 where Jesus celebrates the Passover with his disciples and institutes the Lord's Supper (also known as Communion).

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 14:1-11. There we see two distinctly different responses to Jesus. The first is a woman who gives away her inheritance to anoint Jesus with costly perfume. The second is Judas's decision to betray Jesus due to what he sees as a waste of resources. One saw Jesus for who he really was, the Messiah, the other saw him as a sham and a waste.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 13:1-37 where Jesus leaves the Temple tells his followers of its coming destruction, which will occur in 66-70AD. In so doing, he prepares them to lead through the midst of difficulty. Some have wrongly thought Jesus is speaking about the end of the world, but, rather, he is speaking about a moment in history that has already happened. That said, we can take great co...

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 12:35-44 where Jesus sheds enormous light on the true nature of the Messiah. Just as a lowly widow gives all she has due to her trust to God, the Messiah will all he has as well.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 12:28-34, where Jesus is asked the question, "What is the greatest commandment?" Jesus not only answered the question, but he lived out that answer fully.

Joe Miriello teaches through Mark 12:18-27 where the religious and political leaders once again try to trap Jesus, this time through a misinterpretation of the Law of Moses and questions about resurrection. Jesus again shows his masterful knowledge of the God's Law.

Willy Verduzco from Origen Church in Guadalajara, Mexico, teaches from Mark 12:13-17. There we see the religious leaders trying to trap Jesus through politics so they can do away with him and his teaching. Instead of falling into their trap, Jesus shows them the beauty of a life submitted to God and his rule and reign.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 11:27-12:12 where Jesus is confronted by the religious leaders once again. When asked where he receives his authority to do what he does, Jesus responds with another questions and a pointed parable that reveals deep truths about both the religious leaders and Jesus himself.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 11:12-25, a seemingly confusing passage that shows Jesus' desire for all people in all nations to have access to God the Father. Jesus' "cleansing" of the Temple is given meaning by the simple act of cursing a fig tree.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 11:1-10. As Mark slows down to record the last week of Jesus' earthly ministry he gives some seemingly odd details about a donkey and a crowd of people welcoming Jesus to Jerusalem. They aren't random events, but rather a picture of God's sovereignty and Jesus' humility.

Mike Young teaches through Romans 8:1-11 and speaks on our identity as sons of God and breaking agreements with lies we have believed.

Mike Young teaches through Romans 8:14-17 and speaks on our identity as sons of God and breaking agreements with lies we have believed.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 10:46-52. As a crowd gathers to Jesus a blind beggar's voice is louder than the rest. Bartimaeus, the blind beggar, shows what it means to step into faith and relationship with Jesus.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 10:32-45 where Jesus leads the disciples on the ascent to Jerusalem. As some of his followers vie for titles and fame, Jesus helps them see that true leadership in the kingdom of God is to serve and lay down our lives for the sake of others.

Alastair Moyer teaches from Mark 10:13-31 where we see Jesus flip the expectations of life on their head. Instead of proclaiming that people who "have it all together" (like the rich and famous) are ready to enter his kingdom, he teaches that it's actually those who are like little children who are ready to enter in.

As we roll into 2022 we revisit a preach from the end of 2020 from Bo Noonan. This teaching highlights how our grabs for control are counter to what is most helpful for us - a trust in our good Father who provides what we really need and who is our Promised Land.

Bo Noonan teaches from John 1, helping us to see who the Church is for and how we are called to be a both/and church, rather than an either/or church. Jesus was full of both grace and truth, not one or the other, and he calls us to be full of both as well.

Bo Noonan teaches teaches part four of our 2021 Advent series. How can we have peace, even in the midst of great difficulty? Jesus invites us, not only to receive a free gift of grace with God, but also to consider and practice a life of peace that comes from living out his ways.

Waymond Hampton teaches part two of our 2021 Advent series. Jesus came as Mighty God, yet not in the way anyone expected. His might was and is seen in both the understated AND the powerfully miraculous and is always at work, whether we know it or not.

Bo Noonan teaches part one of our 2021 Advent Series. Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor - even in the midst of great difficulty, God's promises remain fully true in Jesus.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 9:30-50. After an argument between the disciples about who would be greatest in Jesus' kingdom, Jesus take them aside to teach them about the greatness he would display for them and train them in...the greatness of being a servant.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 9:14-29. As Jesus descends from the mountain where he showed his true radiance, he finds some of his disciples in the midst of a fruitless argument with religious leaders and a desperate father. Instead of engaging in the argument, Jesus deals with the true issue at hand, the need for healing and faith in God's provision and compassion.
