New Community Church of Tacoma

Bo Noonan and Lisa Melser teach on the need to build our lives on the rock of Jesus and his teachings. Bo kicks off the teaching from Matthew 7:24-29 and Lisa brings practical steps on how to put this into practice in everyday life.

Senator Scott encourages us with ways to trust and lean in to our good God in the midst of attacks on our hearts - especially the attacks of SHAME, SETBACK, and SORROW,

Wes Swarthout teaches from James 1:1-6 and encourages us to choose joy in the midst of difficulty. He shares the sorrowful yet inspiring story of Horatio Spafford, who wrote the hymn "It is Well with my Soul" and helps us to see the difference between emotional happiness and the work of God-derived joy.

Waymond Hampton teaches from the story of Abraham found in Genesis 12 through 15. He encourages us to move from belief to faith. We do this by leaning our full weight on the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who are continually revealing themselves to us so that we can KNOW them and be convinced of their faithfulness.

Bo Noonan teaches from Hebrews 8:1-7, where we get a beautiful picture of what Jesus is doing now that he is ascended to be with his Father. As an epilogue to our Mark series we see that Jesus is still at work on our behalf and that his finished work gives us great confidence in our position as his children.

Terry Virgo teaches through Exodus 4 where we see Moses second-guessing God's calling on his life to be a leader of God's people. In looking at the life of Moses we can find truth about ourselves and God's love for us as his people, his chosen possession.

Terry Virgo, a true friend and spiritual father to NCC, teaches on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. As Jesus ascended to be with the Father, he promised that one just like him would come and be IN his disciples. This teaching works through scripture to help clarify and lead us into being filled with the Holy Spirit.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 16:9-20, which most scholars believe to be an added bit of encouragement for future readers of the letter. Bo gives some scholarly context to these verses and calls out their biblical encouragement to be equipped by Jesus for the mission he has called us to.

Andy Cooley teaches through Mark 16:1-13 where the forces of life and death collide in Jesus. In him, we see the reverse of the curse of sin unravel. Because Jesus was without sin, death had no right to him, and when we are found in him, it no longer has a right to us.

Bo Noonan teaches through Mark 15:21-47 where we see Jesus led to his crucifixion, abandonment, and death upon the cross. Even in the face of the horrors of human depravity, while hanging between heaven and earth, Jesus continued to care for others and to do the beautiful work of bringing the rule and reign of God to humanity.
