Joy

New Community Church of Tacoma

December 24, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Psalm 16:11, Colossians 1:13–14

Bo Noonan finishes our Advent series by teaching on JOY. He shows us that joy is not circumstantial, rather it is sourced in God himself and can be ours because of the coming of Jesus to save us and add us into his eternal family. Through Jesus we can have eternal joy starting now!

Love

December 17, 2023 • Bo Noonan • 1 John 4:7–21, 1 John 5:13, Matthew 1:18–25

Bo Noonan teaches on the Advent theme of LOVE from 1 John 4:7-21. Here we see a letter written about biblical love from the perspective of a person who lived with Love incarnate. John learned what and who love was by being with Jesus, and he relates the truth of love at work in our lives as we submit to the truth that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.

Peace

December 10, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Exodus 2:23–25, Exodus 32:7–10, Exodus 33:1–3, Romans 6:17–18

Bo Noonan teaches about Peace in week 2 of our Advent series. He walks through the story of how God freed his people from slavery in the book of Exodus and how we too are freed from slavery to sin - both physically and spiritually, which brings the ultimate peace.

Hope

December 3, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Psalm 130, Titus 2:11–14, Genesis 3:15, Galatians 4:19

Bo Noonan kicks off our 2023 Advent series by digging into the HOPE we have through Jesus. In a culture of "get it now" we are called to be a people who grow in our capacity to wait in hopeful expectation for what will be revealed when Jesus returns. Yet, there is also a wonderfully rich experience in the right now of his presence, which serves as just a taste of what that day will ultimately be like.
