The war we fight

New Community Church of Tacoma

The war we fight

May 7, 2023 • Andy Cooley • Romans 5:12, Galatians 3:22, 1 Corinthians 15:26, Galatians 6:10–13, Hebrews 2:14–15

Andy Cooley teaches about the the spiritual war that is waged as followers of Jesus push back against Satan and his schemes. The Bible tells us that our battle is not against people, rather it is against spiritual forces. Do we really believe this? If so, what do we do?

Jesus' glorious return

June 18, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Revelation 21:1, 2 Peter 3:5–10, Acts 2:17, Matthew 19:27–30, Isaiah 65:17

Bo Noonan teaches about the return of Jesus as we end our series "You really believe that?". He unpacks the fact that Jesus's followers are an "end times" people who are awaiting the fullness of his return. We are those awaiting the coming of a new heaven and a new earth and the restoration of all things, rather than those looking to escape to some place in the sky.

The grace of our God

June 11, 2023 • Wes Swarthout • Luke 14:12–24, Ephesians 2:1–10

Wes Swarthout lays out the beauty of God's grace that he lavishes on us through Jesus.

The Christian ethic

June 4, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Romans 1:24–32, Mark 7:12–13, Matthew 23:23–24, Matthew 15:19–20, Matthew 19:3–6

Bo Noonan teaches about the Christian ethic. He underlines the importance of discerning between cultural and religious rules and morality versus what the Bible clearly lays out as a loving Father's ethics. What does it mean to come under the law of love in a culture that may use the word "love" differently than the Bible? Why is the Christian sexual ethic what it is? We look at some of these questions from a biblical viewpoint.
