The Garden Church

You live in a world demanding allegiance to ideas that, if what the bible teaches is true, followers of Jesus simply cannot affirm.   Like it or not, walking closely with Jesus requires resisting un-biblical thinking. Christians are called to stay rooted in a world progressing into insanity. How can the believer stand firm? Here's how: the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus puts confidence i...

How do you grow as a Christian? Are their tools? What does the Bible teach about increasing depth and maturity? In Colossians 2:1-5 Paul describes his desire to affirm, anchor, alert, and assure the believers in the Gospel. So, in this teaching, Justin Doyle who leads many of our teams at The Garden, will affirm, anchor, alert, and assure you in the Gospel of Jesus.

For thousands of years Christians have clung to, studied, presented, preached, and even died for the Gospel. So, what makes the Gospel so very valuable to so many billions of people through history? What is it about this story that has stirred hearts, started wars, and flipped the world upside down? And if it's that valuable, don't you and I need it?  In this message Nolan Tjaden walks t...

God’s answer to the questions, “who is God and what is He like?” is, "Jesus".

If you're a Christian, do you ever talk about Jesus to people who don't know Him? Everyone you know is looking for meaning. But without the Gospel message, there is no meaning--no color in life, and worse there is no hope in death.  That's why Christians are called to communicate Jesus. Unless people hear and understand the Gospel they will not be saved. That's why it's so...

Who has truly been there for you? The Christian worldview insists that we are not meant to do life on our own. Contrary to the modern American rugged individualistic mindset, the disciple of Jesus is called to community. What does that look like? How could community re-shape your life? Listen to this message where Justin Doyle, a leader at The Garden, explores this idea through 1 John 4:7-12. 

In this teaching we shared how you can find your home in Jesus. But towards the end we offered some ways to get involved. You are gifted and called to the mission.

Deep down all of us are longing for home. Home is a place of security and nearness to trusted loved ones that nourishes you at the soul level. It's not a mortgage that makes a house a home. This longing isn't even satisfied after many years in one place. It can only be satisfied in knowing Jesus and being in community with God's people. In this week's teaching from our Sneak Pr...

Does life have a purpose? If so what is it? According the Bible, all followers of Jesus are called to serve an enormous mission of making disciples everywhere. But how can we do this?

Jesus values you. Maybe you are feeling worthless. When you realize you have been chosen by Jesus, no matter how un-selectable you are, no matter how worthless your decisions have been, the call of Jesus has the power in and of it itself to make you valuable. You are being swept into a better story. This teaching was taken from our most recent Men's Bible Study. Listen to this teaching to hea...

All of us have met people not marked by kindness . Maybe you've encountered Christians marked, in fact, by unkindness. But the Church, from day one, has grown and advanced globally in part through the power through distinct Christian kindness. How does the Bible define and compel us with this unique kind of kindness? When we believe and cling to the Gospel, we will 

Today we're going to look at the importance and power of Christian kindness to change our city and reflect the beauty of Jesus in our own lives so people see just how good He is. Listen to this episode to see the power of kindness in a world of darkness.

Everything in our culture tells us that the best life is one where you are served and comfortable. But Jesus envisions the opposite. According to Jesus, the easy life is an empty and unfulfilling life. In the mind of Jesus, it's only when you give up your will, surrender your wants, and forsake your comfort for Him that you will get your soul back. While the American dream promises joy throug...

This episode of the podcast will make you want to pray. Have you ever wondered: What is prayer? How does it work? Maybe you actually have philosophical questions as to whether it even really matters. If you do think it matters, you may feel guilty even thinking about prayer because most of us are so bad at it. But in this episode you'll see that prayer should be our priority because there is...

Money is merely a means by which we assign value to things. But when God gets a hold of our hearts, it becomes a tool for worship and warfare. In this episode, we'll dive into a biblical exploration on investing money for the Kingdom of God and see the joy of leveraging lesser treasures for the greatest One. Ready to invest? Use THIS LINK to get started.

In our culture, serving is often seen as weakness. But that's a mistake. Because when you serve you're doing something that has the power to make a massive difference in the world, it actually advances the glorious will of God Himself into our dark reality through our humble activity. What a gift! Today's episode is called serve, and to see that you are NEVER more powerful than when...

Already close to 70 people have joined the team--which means these are things you do too. These aren't commitments of varsity level Christians but everyday the ordinary steps of a normal Christian. We hope thes...

The mission of God is too big for the Gospel to be advanced by a personality on a platform. To impact eternity we need an army. The mission demands a multitude of servant leaders to roll their sleeves up.  This isn't our idea, it's the vision of Scripture. The Bible paints this picture of an army of servants ALL being filled and equipped for God's mission.  In this Episode, you&apos...
