Eden Church NJ Podcast

We begin a new section of our Matthew series where the story of Jesus turns to clarify the Christian life. And the FIRST thing you must do when you start walking with God? Put down imposter syndrome. Pastor Brandon focused Matthew 4:23-25 and Luke 5:1-8 to show us how.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State Str...

"You're thirsty" is something nobody really wants to hear in our context. So when God says come all who are thirsty, we don't naturally think He's talking to us lol. "I'm not thirsty!" is probably our natural response. But maybe God doesn't mean it like we mean it?  Pastor Emmanuel Dominguez joined us from BRAVE Church in Washington Heights to help us f...

The Baptism of Jesus in Matthew 3:13-17 is an interesting scene. Why was Jesus baptized? Did He need forgiveness? What is the significance of our baptism?  This is the re-recording of a live sermon from June 29, 2025.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601  Tithe to fuel the mission...

In life, you will be tested. In Matthew 4, Jesus overcomes similar tests to ours immediately after being baptized. We dove in to learn how to wear the identity of God and consider honest questions like, "Is satan real?"

Wanna know what to think about the US, Iran, and Israel? Repent! What does that really mean? John bursts on the scene in Matthew 3 screaming, "Repent." Jesus soon followed. Why did they do that?

How was Fatherhood displayed in Jesus' family? We took a look at Fatherhood through the eyes of Joseph in Matthew 2:13-15 to encourage all types of Dads in the room.  The beginning of this sermon was accidentally cut short.

If we are going to find the real God, it's going to happen by seeking God with reverence. We had a unique worship service on Pentecost. This recording is a snippet from our opening prayer set.  It was a powerful day in North Jersey.

At Eden, we honor the WHOLE Word of God. We don't skip over parts of it that seem uncomfortable, boring, or difficult to talk about. Matthew starts with a list of names. So, let's pull a message out of a genealogy - Matthew 1:1-6.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601  Ti...

Has anyone ever believed the wrong thing about you? Or have you ever believed the wrong thing about someone else? It never helps the relationship. Sometimes its our beliefs that keep us from knowing the power and presence of God. Lacey Rozell, author of "What if we pray?," opened John 15 to talk us through this.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start)...

What about when we pray and then nothing happens? What then? Let's look at Matthew 26 and Luke 11:9-13 to answer one of Christianity's toughest questions.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601  Tithe to fuel the mission  by clicking here 💸 Subscribe to our YouTube channe...

Meditation. This word mostly makes us think of mystic Eastern practices. How are Christians supposed to view all this talk about mindfulness, deep breaths, and meditating? We opened up Mark 4:35-41 to talk this through.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601  Tithe to fuel the missi...

Is prayer useful at all? Sometimes, I'm not entirely convinced that anything is getting done when I pray. Why is that? We looked at a prayer from Apostle Paul in Ephesians 1:15-20 to answer these questions.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601  Tithe to fuel the mission  by c...

What is prayer really?... And what is the purpose? Prayer is this intimidating force for the new believer. But the seasoned Christian seems to evade it as well...

For there to be abundance, there first must be a burial. What kind of things need to end so that the life you are really meant to live can thrive?  We took a look at 1 Corinthians 15:35-36 to break down what Paul said about Easter Sunday and how it applies to your life.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State St...

What was the last thing you invited someone to? Your new favorite food spot? A new club? A new attraction? We are constantly inviting people to things we know are good. For this reason, all the principles of discipleship can be summed up in one principle: invitation.  Support the show Pull up on  Sunday, doors open at 10:30 am (11 am start) 📍 Eden Church NJ (in Sara Tyndall Hall)  345 State Stree...

We're busy people!! And that means we don't really want to be sent on extra missions. We have more than enough to do! So how do we fit in the fact that Jesus said, "As the Father has sent me, so also I send you" (John 20:21)?

You can deny a claim, but you can't deny an encounter! When we encounter the power of God around us, it's undeniable.  In the midst of canceled DEI efforts and so much confusion around us, Eden Church has decided not to be an armchair justice warrior. We refuse to virtue signal—screaming words from a stage and then going home and changing nothing. We are committed to walking with those i...

This week's viral sensation was Marvin Sapp and a questionable, resurfaced money scene from almost a year ago. If you're not familiar with church, you are surely familiar with a strange money moment in church. Jesus said what He said in Matthew 6: 19-24 because money makes people act funny. But money and wealth are mentioned in over 2,000 verses in the Bible!  So, how we view money matte...

Why do we serve? John 13 shows us that God's power and God's service are linked together. This is admittedly difficult in a self-centered culture.  North Jersey isn't exactly the most service-oriented place. But we can begin to change that! Can't we?..
