The enemy wants to destroy your family, and too many couples are unknowingly helping him do it. In this powerful and deeply personal message from Genesis 2, Pastor Nolan gets brutally honest about his own marriage struggles and reveals why God’s design for marriage isn’t outdated, it’s the very thing your family needs. ⚔️ Why do Christian marriages still struggle?  💍 Are you building your marriage on God’s design or the world’s expectations?  🙏 What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for starts with surrender? You can’t expect God’s blessing while rejecting God’s ways. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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

Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving 🔥 What if the biggest threat to your marriage isn’t your spouse, but the enemy you’ve been fighting together? 💍 The odds are stacked against your family. Culture is pulling marriages apart, selfishness is destroying relationships, and too many couples are fighting EACH OTHER instead of fighting FOR each other. But what if the secret to winning your husband’s heart isn’t changing HIM, but allowing Jesus to change YOU? 👀 In this powerful message from 1 Peter 3:1–6, we tackle one of the Bible’s most controversial teachings about marriage, submission, and the surprising power of a godly wife. ⚔️ Your husband is NOT your enemy. Your marriage is worth fighting for. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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

Every escape seemed impossible. But they forgot one thing… YOU CAN’T STOP WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY SET IN MOTION. ⚔️ In Acts 23–24, we discover how God turns deadly conspiracies into divine opportunities, uses unlikely people to accomplish His plans, and reminds us that the enemy doesn’t get the final word over our lives. 👀 Feeling overwhelmed, attacked, or ready to give up? What if the very thing meant to destroy you is what God uses to move you forward? The enemy may have a plan against you, but God has a purpose for you. 🙌 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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 22–23, Paul is beaten, falsely accused, dragged before rulers, and surrounded by people who want him dead. But instead of panicking, he outmaneuvers them at nearly every turn. He knows when to stay quiet, when to speak up, when to expose hypocrisy, and when to use the room’s own momentum against itself. 😳 But here’s the twist: Paul’s strategy isn’t what ultimately saves him. God’s sovereignty does. This message asks a challenging question: Are you using wisdom, influence, and strategy to advance yourself, or the mission of Jesus? 🎧 Listen now and discover why Christians need both good planning and complete dependence on God. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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

Religion is confused. Culture is confused. Even sincere Christians can misunderstand what God is doing. But what if there’s a reality beyond the darkness we can see? In Acts 22, Paul walks straight toward suffering while everyone around him questions the path. His confidence wasn’t found in circumstances, feelings, or religion. It was found in Jesus. ⚠️ God’s calling can be confusing.  👀 “I have peace about it” isn’t always enough.  🌎 What you’re looking for may not be found where you’re looking for it. The Christian has conviction in a world of confusion. It’s time to lift your head above the canopy, catch a glimpse of Jesus, and find clarity in a confused world. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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

Dietrich Bonhoeffer watched the Nazis train with ruthless discipline and realized something terrifying: if Christians were going to stand against the darkness, they needed to take formation in God’s Word even more seriously. We may not be fighting Nazis, but make no mistake, something is forming you. Entertainment, algorithms, culture, and endless noise are fighting for your mind every day. In Acts 20, Paul shows us another way, a life so consumed by the Gospel that opposition couldn’t silence him and death couldn’t scare him. Are you just consuming the world, or are you being consumed by the Word? 🔥 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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 IF YOU’VE GOT LIFE COMPLETELY BACKWARDS? The world promises freedom, fulfillment, success, pleasure, and meaning, but what if the very things we call “life” are slowly killing us? In Acts 19, Paul walks into a spiritually dark city and starts hunting for hearts, not to destroy people, but to point them to the only One who can actually heal them. What follows is wild: demons flee, magic books burn, lives change, and the Word of God starts taking over a city. 🌵 The world is a desert. Jesus brings Garden life. If Jesus really is who He says He is, then what we once thought was valuable may be worthless, and the Jesus we once ignored may be worth everything. 🤠 GET BAPTIZED NEXT WEEK: Click Here 🌱🗺️🌵Take Ground: Pray with us and consider giving toward what God is building.

Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving 🔥 What if the change you’ve been praying for is on the other side of the correction you’ve been resisting? In Acts 18–19, Apollos and a group of disciples were sincere, spiritual, and headed in the right direction, but they were still missing something crucial. Their lives changed because someone loved them enough to tell them the truth, and they were humble enough to receive it. Sometimes recognizing that something is wrong isn’t enough. You can see the problem and still refuse the cure. 📖 In this sermon, we’ll see how God uses truth, community, conviction, and even uncomfortable correction to redirect our lives toward Jesus. Maybe the conviction you’re feeling isn’t condemnation. Maybe it’s God calling you to change course. 👀🔥 Watch, reflect, and ask: Where is God calling me to course correct? 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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 18, Paul arrives in Corinth, a massive, influential, morally chaotic city that looked more like ancient Gotham than a promising place for revival. He faces opposition, fear, pressure, and uncertainty, yet God tells him, “Do not be afraid… for I am with you.” This message is for anyone tempted to run from the place, pressure, job, marriage, city, or season God may actually be asking you to stay faithful in. We look at what it means to lock in with your setting, situation, sphere, Scriptures, and even your fear, trusting that God can use the very place you want to escape. ⚡ You are never safer than when you are walking in the will of God. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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 17, Paul walks into Athens, one of the intellectual and cultural centers of the ancient world, and refuses two common mistakes: isolation and assimilation. 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. I meant ‘the three persons of the one Godhead.’ Timestamp 19:49-50 Relevant links: YOUTUBE EPISODES YouTube Episode: "Apologetics For Your Kids" (Monday) YouTube Episode "Most Christians Can't Explain What They Believe" (Thursday) FIND YOUR PEOPLE Find a Group Exploring Community event to find a group Find a Team LEAD PEOPLE Group Leader's Interest Party (8/21) Apply to Lead a Group Apply to Lead a Men's or Women's Group

In Acts 17, Paul and his team enter Thessalonica and Berea with one unchanging message, Jesus is the Christ. 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: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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

Acts 16 is a collision between bondage and freedom. A demonized girl is delivered. A corrupt business model collapses. Prison doors shake open. A suicidal jailer finds salvation. An entire household is transformed. And through it all, Jesus proves there is no spiritual force, cultural system, family pattern, or prison strong enough to resist His authority. This message is for anyone who feels trapped, stuck, haunted, or convinced they’ll never change. Jesus doesn’t merely manage your chains, He breaks them. 🔥 He reigns over the spiritual realm, your work, your freedom, your family, and your home. Freedom is closer than you think. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz YouTube: @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

🌱🗺️🌵Take Ground: Pray with us and consider giving toward what God is building. Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving 🔥 God is moving in the West Valley. The question is whether you’ll recognize it before you miss it. In Acts 16, God closes doors, redirects Paul’s mission, prepares unlikely soil, and opens the heart of a woman named Lydia. What begins at a quiet riverside becomes the first church on European soil and a launching point for the gospel across an entire continent. This message reveals five signs of a genuine move of God: He directs the mission, prepares the soil, opens hearts, transforms lives, and expands His territory. God is still moving in unlikely places, opening impossible hearts, and inviting ordinary people to offer their homes, resources, and obedience. ⚡ Don’t watch from the sidelines.
