New Community Church of Tacoma

Bo Noonan teaches teaches part three of our 2021 Advent series. In a time of great upheaval, fear, and sin, Isaiah spoke a great prophecy of One to come. In times of great upheaval, fear, and sin in our lives we can know that we have an Everlasting Father who speaks love and delight over us - even before we do anything for him. Jesus is the exact replica of God the Father and invites us into a life-giving and grace filled relationship.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 10:1-12 where the Pharisees try to test Jesus on his view concerning divorce. His answer helps us see much about the truth concerning marriage, singleness, and even the Church.

Amy Jonson teaches on the theme of God's faithfulness during the 2024 Women's Retreat: All My Days.

In “Sealed with the Spirit”, Bo Noonan teaches 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 emphasizes the assurance, identity, and hope that come from belonging to God through Christ.

This week, Bo Noonan explains 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; it’s part of God’s larger plan to restore everything through Him.

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 (election), present (adoption), and future (unification), showing God’s purposeful love from before creation to eternity. Ultimately, he calls us to ground our identity in Jesus and live transformed lives in response to His grace, to the praise of His glory.

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 see how that identity transforms the way we live every day.

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 transformation, renewed strength, and new life in Him.

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, then faith is empty—but because it is true, Jesus has truly defeated sin and death. As a result, the resurrection doesn’t just promise future hope, but brings present transformation, offering freedom from guilt, despair, and brokenness and inviting everyone into a new life defined by Christ’s victory.

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 our deepest problem is not external circumstances but sin, which only God’s grace through the cross can heal. Jesus offers true, lasting peace now, but will one day return not in humility, but in judgment as King of kings.

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, as seen in the life and endurance of Jesus. Ultimately, the cross offers hope that suffering is temporary, assures us of God’s love and justice, and calls believers to endure with joy, trusting in the promise of restoration.

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. Practices like worship, the Lord’s Supper, and life together continually remind and shape the church to live as the redeemed people Jesus created through His sacrifice.

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, meant to leave all glory with Christ alone.

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

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

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 faithfully working for our good and his glory.

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.

Dawson Jones invites us to to build intentional “trellises” — daily habits and spiritual disciplines — that help us abide in Jesus and be transformed into his likeness rather than conformed to the world. True change comes not from trying harder but from training through consistent spiritual practices that align our hearts with what we truly want — to be with Jesus, become like him, and do what he did.

Bo Noonan calls the church to live as apprentices of Jesus by waging war against the power of money through sacrificial giving. Giving is an act of defiance against the powers of this world, a joyful act of worship that frees us from serving two masters, and worthwhile investment in God’s eternal Kingdom.

Bo Noonan invites us to make room to live as witnesses to Jesus—witness that flows from who we are: a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. We are called to represent God to the world with humility, love, and integrity, even when misunderstood or opposed.

Bo Noonan invites us to make room to put ourselves in places where we can experience moments of encounter with God—like Jacob’s wrestling with God in Genesis 32—that mark and transform us. While long-term growth happens through consistent faithfulness, these divine moments can accelerate change, awaken purpose, and remind us of God's power and presence in personal, unforgettable ways.

Bo Noonan encourages us to make room in our lives to gather regularly and joyfully, both to worship and be formed together. The church is an embassy, an outpost of God's kingdom where believers are stirred to love and perseverance as they display God's glory to the world.

Bo Noonan invites us to walk by the Spirit, not the flesh, and to reject a self-centered approach to life in favor of sharing the work of building a loving, grace-filled church community. Serving others isn’t a burden that limits freedom, but the fruit and expression of a heart set free by Jesus.

Bo invites us to remember that Jesus promised to fill us with his Spirit and to ask, "do we have room in our lives for God's presence—for his power, revelation, and glory?"

Bo Noonan teaches that true spiritual formation happens in intentional, vulnerable community—Jesus didn’t make disciples in isolation but called diverse, imperfect people to follow Him together. As our church grows larger, we must “Connect Small” through Community Groups, which serve as training grounds for kingdom living, healing, and deep transformation as we apprentice under Jesus with others.

Bo Noonan introduces a new series, Under Construction. We are under construction as we make room for more people to encounter Jesus in community and be transformed by the Holy Spirit. And we are under construction as we apprentice to Jesus in every aspect of our life.

Andy Cooley preaches through the final story of the book of Judges, where we see the outcome of unbridled selfishness and sin: depravity, death, and civil war. We are reminded of Jesus our king fighting for us—he brings unmerited grace and salvation when all hope seems lost.

Judges 17 and 18 begin to tell the story of what happens when “everyone does what is right in their own eyes:” individuals choose to live in spiritual blindness and rebellion to God. This self-centeredness is the root of idolatry for the people of Godl. Their hope back then (and ours today) lies in the coming of God’s chosen king. 

Bo Noonan teaches on the incredible importance of sound doctrine in the Church.

Jerrod Turner teaches on the need to take more and new ground - and not settle - as we follow Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28.

Bo Noonan teaches on the importance of discipleship in the church at Celebration NW 2025.

Abi Sovereign teaches through the second part of the life of Samson, found in Judges 15-16. She ends by sharing how Samson, even with all his flaws and poor decisions, becomes a picture of the true Savior of God's people: Jesus.

Joe Miriello teaches through the first part of the story of Samson in Judges 13 and 14. Here we see that, even in their continued rebellion, God relentlessly pursues his people.

Alastair Moyer teaches through the story of Jephthah as found in Judges 10-12. Here we find a man who was disregarded and hurt as a youth. Later in life he is called by God's people to lead them to victory over their oppressors, yet the un-dealt-with hurt from his youth, as well as his lack of true knowledge of and intimacy with the God of the Bible, leads him to hurt his family and God's people in some horrific ways. We see a man who tried to bargain with his version of God for a limited, earthly victory instead of submitting himself to the grace, mercy, and wisdom of the true God of the Bible.

Waymond Hampton teaches through part 3 of the life of Gideon found in the end of Judges 7 through Judges 9. In this story we see God's invitation for Gideon to break generational cycles of sin and Gideons refusal to do so. The extraordinary victory that God's people had over the enemy armies of Midian was not enough for Gideon. He turns from God's ways and wisdom and leads himself, his family, and his people into greater depths of sin, and rejects God's offer of a new way. Through Jesus, we have the opportunity each day to say no to the continuation of generational sin and to say yes to Jesus' victory and to following him as new creations.
