Becoming NCC: One New Man in Christ (The Miracle of the Church)

September 29, 2024 • Bo Noonan • Ephesians 2, Galatians 2:20, Jeremiah 4:3–4

Bo Noonan kicks off our new series: Becoming New Community Church by diving into the amazing truth of being "one new man in Christ". The truth about the Church is that we are a miracle! We are the profound work of God doing the impossible through his son Jesus: he has taken separated, dead enemies and made us into fully alive children of God! Because of this, we are not just a gathering of people or a social club; instead, we are the redeemed people of God, created in the Christ Jesus for good works. We are the miraculous work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...we are the Church!

Becoming NCC: A Community at War

November 17, 2024 • Carl Medford • 1 Peter 5:8, Philippians 1:6, Ephesians 6:10–18, Romans 5:12–13, Galatians 5:17

Carl Medford teaches about becoming a community who wars, not against other people, but against the things the Bible calls us to war against. The good news is that Jesus has won the ultimate war, allowing us to be brought back into an eternal and loving relationship with our Father. As a result, we now battle against spiritual enemies that would try to hijack that relationship for us and for others whom God is drawing to himself. Ultimately, the church is victorious because the One who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it in Christ Jesus!

Becoming NCC: Who Leads this Community?

November 10, 2024 • Bo Noonan • Titus 1:5–9, Genesis 1:27, Acts 2:17–18, Galatians 3:28, Mark 10:42–45

Bo Noonan teaches on the counter-cultural type of leadership that Jesus calls his followers to. Throughout scripture we see the complimentary roles that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have played throughout eternity past and into eternity future - they are fully equal in standing, yet they play different roles. It is the same in the church. We are all equal in standing because of the work of Jesus, yet as we grow in leadership of ourselves and others, we learn to lay down our rights more and more and take on differing roles and responsibilities. According to scripture, our character must come before our giftings and abilities as we lead through serving one another.

Becoming NCC: A Word and Spirit Community

November 3, 2024 • Bo Noonan • Ephesians 1:13–14, John 14:6, Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 6:5

Bo Noonan teaches on the importance of being both a Word and Spirit community. We believe that the Bible is fully true and points us to God's order, way of life, and his love. We also believe that we fully need the empowering presence and the seal of adoption that the Holy Spirit gives us, which allows us to know God intimately as Father. We are a both/and church that is learning to give ourselves fully to the ways of Jesus and the power and presence of his Holy Spirit, so that we can be equipped for the mission he has called us to.
