New Community Church of Tacoma

Andy Cooley teaches through the phrase "give us this day our daily bread" during our teaching series through the Lord's Prayer.

Bo Noonan teaches through the phrase "your kingdom come, your will be done" in our series on the Lord's prayer. In this teaching he focuses on three questions: 1) What is the kingdom? 2) Why ask for the kingdom to come? and 3) How should we pray for the kingdom come?

Willy Verduzco from Origen Church in Guadalajara, Mexico - part of our Confluence family of churches - encourages us as a family of churches to sow the seed of our lives, just as Jesus did, for the joy of many people coming to know Jesus and his love. He encourages us from the book of Isaiah to "enlarge our houses" and to fix our eyes on Jesus and his mission.

Rhys Scott from Trinity Central Church in Vancouver, BC - part of our Confluence family of churches - takes us on a tour of the life of Elijah, helping us see the deep and amazing truth of God's great care for his people. God walked with Elijah in times of triumph, depression, and recommissioning. As individuals, as churches, and as a family, God is doing the same with us. Rhys calls us to be open to God resetting us, calling us and recommissioning us into mission.

Bo Noonan kicks off Celebration NW 2024 by laying out the biblical vision of how being churches rooted in joy will lead us into the mission of Jesus. Joy is the awareness of the grace of Jesus, and as we see throughout the life of Paul, that awareness of grace brought a contentment that allowed him to endure all things so that many could come to know Jesus.

Sam Poe teaches through the surprising Psalm 110. So many years before the birth of Jesus, we see the plans of Father God for the salvation of his people through the One who would be Prophet, Priest, and King. God's plan for the restoration of relationship and blessing is vast and wonderful, and it continues for us today!

Waymond Hampton teaches through "hallowed be your name" in our series on the Lord's Prayer. He starts with the story of God revealing his name to his people at the Exodus, and paints of picture of how "hallowed be your name" is a call to come under the beautiful authority of "our Father in heaven". Just as Jesus submitted to his Father's will in all things, we are called to submit as well - by not allowing any other name to be hallowed in our lives and by laying down divisions and partisanship for the sake of others.

Abi Sovereign teaches on the first two words of the Lord's Prayer: Our Father. Encapsulated in these two words is the truth of Jesus' good news - the fact that our relationship with the God of the Universe has come to bring restored relationship between him and his creation! From Jesus, we find what it is to live in this restored relationship and to be daughters and son of our Father in heaven, both now and forever.

Bo Noonan kicks off our new series on Jesus prayer from Matthew 6 by looking at a few other verses from the same chapter. Specifically, verses 5-8 where Jesus talks about how NOT to pray. Prayer is a key way we conform our hearts into the image of Jesus' heart. It is a relational practice with our Father by which we are spiritually formed. How? By practicing our position as daughters and sons who are welcomed into the presence of our Father.

Dillon Neely teaches about God's great passion for saving people who are lost.
