He doesn’t run from the culture, and he doesn’t become indistinguishable from it. Instead, he engages it with love, truth, and the gospel.Guest pastor Tim Chaddick shows how Paul looked carefully at the people around him, understood what they worshiped, and spoke to their deepest longings without compromising the truth.This message challenges Christians to stop hiding from culture, stop blending into it, and start loving people enough to tell them what is true.🔥 Engage with love. Speak with truth.

You need a band of brothers (or sisters) That's what many felt at as hundreds gathered at the Men's and Women's Nights this week. This was powerful and special moment, but the question is what do we do with it? In this bonus podcast episode Nolan recaps the night, acknowledges what many of us are feeling, and then challenges us with what to do with the fire we're feeling from the night. ***Small correction of technical theological language from Nolan: “I slipped in using around the Trinity.

But they don’t move thoughtlessly. They reason, persuade, give evidence, endure opposition, search the Scriptures, and courageously proclaim another King, Jesus.In this message, we look at five things it takes to win cities: strategy, money, bravery, theology, and ultimately, Calvary.🏙️ Strategy: Paul understood where God had positioned him and intentionally brought the gospel into influential places. You don’t need a microphone to make an impact. God has already positioned Christians in homes, businesses, schools, firehouses, neighborhoods, and communities.💰 Money: The gospel has always advanced through ordinary people strategically leveraging their resources for God’s Kingdom. From the prominent women who supported Jesus’ ministry to Christians who funded and distributed Bible translations, generosity gives the gospel wings.🔥 Bravery: When the gospel advances, opposition often follows. Paul and Silas were accused of turning the world upside down because they proclaimed that there is another King, Jesus. Christians don’t retreat when resistance comes. We courageously continue the mission.🧠 Theology: The Bereans didn’t blindly accept Paul’s teaching. They eagerly examined the Scriptures daily to see whether what he said was true. Christianity doesn’t require you to turn off your brain. Skeptics are invited to investigate, Christians are commanded to know what they believe, and every idea should survive biblical scrutiny.✝️ Calvary: At the center of Paul’s argument was one shocking truth, “it was necessary for the Christ to suffer.” We couldn’t have the King without the cross. At Calvary, God’s justice against sin and His mercy toward sinners meet. Jesus suffered, died, and rose again so that God could remain perfectly just while justifying everyone who places their faith in Christ.Whether you’re a business owner, firefighter, parent, student, employee, skeptic, or ministry leader, God has strategically positioned you somewhere.Your first city might be your house. Your mission field might be your workplace. Your opportunity might be sitting across the dinner table. You don’t need a platform to move a city. You need to recognize where God has already positioned you.Cities change when changed people strategically live where God has placed them.🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM 📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

So where do you turn when the biggest decisions of your life feel beyond you?Through Paul’s second missionary journey in Acts 16, this message unpacks eight practical principles for hearing the Holy Spirit.

In Acts 15–16, we get a behind-the-scenes look at how the early church didn’t build shallow followers—they built mature disciples through God’s Word, high standards, sacrificial leadership, and costly disciple-making.This message challenges the casual Christianity that dominates our culture and calls us into something deeper. Following Jesus isn’t about taking yourself seriously—it’s about taking Him seriously. Salvation is free, but being sent comes with a cost.⚔️ Stop settling for comfortable Christianity.

It’s much harder to build something that lasts.In Acts 15, the early church faces one of its greatest theological crises. The solution isn’t compromise, tradition, or opinion—it is the Word of God. As barriers fall, Jesus isn’t dismantling His people; He’s rebuilding His Kingdom, bringing Jews and Gentiles together through grace alone.This message is a call to stop merely deconstructing and start building. Whether you’re called to lead, disciple, serve, encourage, host, pray, or go, God is inviting you to join what He is building in the West Valley and beyond.🌅 After darkness comes light. The question isn’t whether God is building His Kingdom. The question is: Will you help build it with Him?***Note from Pastor Nolan:"I misspoke at 35:57 using a reference to the metaphorical concept of a "thin space" between heaven and earth in the Old Testament. There is no such thing as a thin space in the Bible. This is actual a pagan concept. My point was to use a word picture for what it would look like if "Heaven broke in" metaphorically speaking. I still think it's a beautiful analogy but need to clarify it's not a reality.  I need to clarify there are no thin spaces biblically."🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM 📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

In Acts 15, that same gospel comes under attack as some insisted Jesus wasn’t enough—that salvation required something more. But the apostles refused to compromise, because adding anything to Christ doesn’t improve the gospel… it destroys it.This message unpacks one of the most important doctrines in Christianity: justification by faith alone. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve done enough, been good enough, or cleaned yourself up enough for God, this message is for you.✝️ Jesus + anything = no gospel. Jesus alone is enough.

Why? Because the same spirit that rejects Christ recruits others, magnifies people instead of God, and swings from idolizing leaders to tearing them down. But God’s mission cannot be stopped.This message exposes the spiritual forces behind opposition, challenges us to raise bold—not merely safe—disciples, and reminds us that the church exists to make, mature, and multiply followers of Jesus.

Others grow jealous, reject the message, and drive Paul away. The same gospel that melts one heart hardens another.Why? Because our biggest problem isn’t a lack of evidence. It’s often the presence of pride.This message tackles one of the most consequential questions in human history: What will you do with Jesus? If He really is Lord, neutrality is not an option.

Pastor Skyler Sermon: https://youtu.be/QTW1qQbSxEUFalse prophets aren’t just a problem from Bible times. They’re still influencing people, families, and entire generations today.In this episode of Skeptics & Saints, Pastor Skyler, Miguel, and Justin dive deep into Acts 13, where the Apostle Paul confronts a false prophet who is actively trying to keep someone from believing in Jesus. From that encounter, we explore what Scripture teaches about spiritual deception, false teachers, and how Christians can discern truth from error.We also tackle some of the biggest questions people ask:• Are Mormons Christians?• Are Jehovah’s Witnesses Christians?• What is a false prophet?• How do false teachers distort Scripture?• Why are people drawn to deceptive teachings?• How can Christians lovingly engage friends and family in these groups?Most importantly, we discuss why knowing your Bible matters. The best defense against deception isn’t becoming an expert on every false teaching. It’s becoming deeply rooted in the truth of God’s Word.📖 Acts 13📖 Galatians 1📖 1 Timothy 4📖 2 John📖 Matthew 24Whether you’re a skeptic, a saint, someone exploring Christianity, or someone wrestling through questions about Mormonism or Jehovah’s Witnesses, this conversation is designed to help you think biblically, ask good questions, and pursue truth.

We prefer idols we can control over a holy God who calls us to surrender.But the Gospel is still good news, Jesus didn’t just expose our sin, He paid for it. ✝️The question is the same today as it was then:Will you resist Him… or respond?🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

It was passivity. ⚠️In Acts 6, thousands were coming to Christ, but a dangerous problem surfaced, people were becoming spectators instead of builders. When movements grow, they don’t collapse from opposition first, they fracture from lack of ownership.This message confronts the modern temptation to consume church like entertainment in an attention economy. The future of the Church will not be built by passive observers, but by families, leaders, and disciples who carry the mission of Jesus. 🛠️Because the church isn’t a show you watch.

God doesn’t call you into comfort, He calls you into resistance. In our soft, frictionless version of American Christianity, we’ve confused “easy” with “God.” We treat open doors like divine approval and closed doors like a polite no. But the God who sent His Son into a world that crucified Him doesn’t lead His people by convenience.Isaiah saw the Lord, high and lifted up, and it shattered his small, domesticated view of God. 😳🔥 Seraphim shielding their faces, thresholds shaking, smoke filling the temple, and Isaiah realizing, “I am undone.”Then grace hits, guilt is lifted, sin is atoned for, and the only response is, “Here am I. Send me.”Because the King who was lifted up in glory was lifted up on a cross for you. ✝️Take Ground: Pray with us and consider giving toward what God is building.Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

Prison doors don’t open for comfort, they open for mission. 🔥🔓In this message, we follow Brother Andrew smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, praying a reckless prayer, “Lord… make seeing eyes blind,” and watching God do the impossible. Then Acts turns the volume up, an angel kicks open a jail cell, not so the apostles can breathe easy, but so they can go right back to preaching “all the words of this Life.”Here’s the punch, God opens doors for His purposes, not our preferences. The Gospel can’t be locked up, not by borders, prisons, beatings, or empires. Ask Tyndale.

Are you chasing vibes and crystals 🔮 or stuck believing you’re just a meat computer floating through a meaningless universe 🧠⚙️? Either way, here’s the problem, beauty keeps ruining your explanations.This sermon from Acts 5 flips the Problem of Evil on its head and punches back with the Problem of Beauty 🌌🔥. Stars don’t ask permission. Music breaks you open. Love, friendship, healing, and courage sneak past your skepticism and whisper, “You didn’t make yourself.”We talk real miracles (not prosperity-gospel scams), weak faith in a strong Savior, and why you can’t lock up the gospel—even with prisons, threats, or violence ⛓️💥.

In Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira try to “look holy” without being holy, and their deception doesn’t just backfire, it drops them. 💀 Why would God judge so fast, so hard? Because God guards where God dwells. The church isn’t a social club, it’s a holy invasion, a place where heaven bends low and hypocrisy gets exposed. ⚡️🏛️This message will confront fake faith, comfort-driven Christianity, and the terrifying beauty of God’s presence, and it’ll point you to the only safe place for sinners, the cross of Jesus. ✝️🔥🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

What do you do when obeying God could cost you everything?Acts 3–4 shows us a church that refuses comfort and chooses courage. A miracle sparks belief, the resurrection provokes outrage, and opposition exposes what kind of faith the disciples really have. Like Martin Luther standing before the powers of his day, Peter and John preach Christ anyway, pray boldly, and leave shaken but unashamed. 💥🙏This message traces the unstoppable flow of the early church, from power → persuasion → persecution → prayer, and asks a piercing question: are we more committed to self-preservation or the resurrection? Boldness doesn’t come from personality, it comes from being with Jesus.If you want a faith that doesn’t fold under pressure, this one’s for you.👉 Listen, pray, and step out in bold obedience. ✝️🔥🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

You were made for war. 2026 can’t be another year about trying to get less out of shape and making zero difference in the spiritual war all around us. What if you made this year about fighting the darkness, leading the people around you, and being a deeper and more serious follower of Christ? In this talk, Nolan casts vision for how The Garden is positioning you to do just that in several very specific ways. How are we making a dent in the darkness this year?

Have you ever wondered if God is really at work… or if life should look bigger than this?  Christmas isn’t a Hallmark moment, it’s a hostile takeover. The Gospel invades real history, real empires, and real pain, not with power plays, but with a baby in a manger. Luke 2 exposes a clash of kingdoms: Caesar’s loud empire versus Jesus’ quiet reign. While the proud miss Him, the humble see Him. This King doesn’t crush His enemies, He’s crushed for them. If your life feels small, overlooked, or hopeless, don’t assume God is absent. What if He’s working humbly? Press play, let the King disrupt your expectations, and decide which kingdom you belong to.🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

Have you grown jaded to the things of God? Cynical, tired, settled for less than wonder? 😮‍💨 In Acts 3, Peter and John walk into an ordinary prayer hour, and God explodes it with an extraordinary miracle. A nameless, lifelong beggar asks for spare change, but Jesus gives him something money could never buy, new life.This message confronts our tendency to settle for lesser things and invites us back into awe, faith, and expectation. Jesus doesn’t just support us in our brokenness, He heals us, lifts us up, and sends us leaping with praise. 🙌If you’ve been longing for more, this sermon is a reminder that more is exactly what Jesus offers.

Revival doesn’t just start “out there”, it starts in here.In this message, Pastor Skyler unpacks how God moves through people who have first been moved by Him. In a culture marked by crushing loneliness, distraction, and isolation, Acts 2 gives us a living picture of a Spirit-filled community where:People surrender to the WordLive with unquenchable worshipPractice generous careBecome a compelling witness to the worldWe’ll see that revival isn’t just crowds and big moments, it’s the slow, deep formation of a people devoted to Jesus, each other, and the mission.

Pentecost wasn’t a quiet spiritual moment—it was a violent, wind-shaking, flame-dropping invasion of God’s power. The same Spirit who emboldened trembling disciples in an upper room now emboldens us. In this message, we walk through the SIGN, the SUNDAY, the SERMON, the MIRACLE, the MURDER, the MONARCHY, and the MESSIAH—and why everything changes if Jesus really is who Peter says He is.From the rushing wind to tongues of fire to a sermon that cut 3,000 people to the heart, Acts 2 reminds us that the gospel still burns, the Spirit still fills, and Jesus still saves. 🔥💨✝️If He is the Messiah, the only question left is: What will you do?🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

⏳ THE BATTLE PLAN FOR THE WAITING ROOM (Acts 1:12–26)We hate waiting. We love speed, hustle, and instant results. But in Acts 1, the disciples show us that uncertainty is not evidence of God’s absence—it’s His training ground. While they waited, they didn’t drift, doomscroll, or tap out. They prayed and obeyed, read and applied, relied and testified. 🙏📖This message unpacks how Christian waiting is active, not passive. God often works gradually before He moves suddenly—shaping your character, deepening your dependence, and anchoring you in His Word.If you’re stuck in the “in-between” right now, this isn’t wasted time. It’s preparation. 💥PODCAST:  🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

You don’t go into a battle without a battle plan.In Acts 1, Jesus gives His followers one. From a hillside in Judea, the risen King lays out His strategy for changing the world:1️⃣ The Mission — not optional.2️⃣ The Power — not from us.3️⃣ The Focus — not on distractions.The Church doesn’t move by marketing, strategy, or personality—it moves by the power of the Holy Spirit. And when ordinary people trust that power, revival spreads like wildfire.💥 His mission isn’t optional. His Spirit isn’t negotiable.

No one is too broken for God to use. 💥In this deeply convicting message, guest speaker Mark Clark walks through Ephesians 1:1–2, showing how the Apostle Paul—once a murderer and enemy of the Church—was transformed by grace to become one of its greatest leaders.Mark shares his own story of growing up in a non-Christian home, battling Tourette’s syndrome, and being called to plant a church in one of the most secular cities in the world. Through humor, personal stories, and gospel truth, he reminds us that:God doesn’t use you because of your strength, but in spite of your weakness.Religion says “try harder.” The gospel says “it’s finished.”You don’t have to be perfect—just willing to let Jesus lead your life.Our good Father pursues us, even when we run. 🕊️The message calls us to drop comparison, stop performing, and remember that grace and peace come to you—personally—from a God who loves to redeem the unqualified.🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenazYouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ Facebook: The Garden Church 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here 📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here Spotify: Listen Here

Some healing can’t happen until you bow. 🕊️ Naaman had everything, status, power, wealth, but beneath the armor was rot. Leprosy on the outside, pride on the inside. When God told him to dip in a muddy river, he almost walked away from the miracle that could change him forever. 💧In this message, you’ll see that pride is the enemy of power and that true healing starts in the heart, not the skin. The same God who restored Naaman still restores broken people today, if they’ll surrender.✨ You don’t need a fountain of youth; you need the living water.

You can’t say Jesus is Lord if your wallet still calls the shots. 💥Legend has it that Crusaders were baptized with their sword arm out of the water, surrendered, but not that surrendered. Today, many believers do the same with their bank accounts. But Jesus doesn’t want part of you, He wants all of you.This message isn’t about guilt; it’s about growth. God calls His people to test Him in generosity (Malachi 3), not to take from us, but to bless us beyond measure. 💧When we tithe, we declare: God, You can do more with 90% than I ever could with 100%.The hard thing and the right thing are often the same thing.💥 Step into trust.
