New Community Church of Tacoma

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

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.

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.

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.
