William Tyndale gave his life so ordinary people could read one life-changing truth for themselves: we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. 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. Receive His grace, lay down your burden, and walk in the freedom He purchased for you. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com [http://www.thegardenaz.com] 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz [https://www.instagram.com/thegardenaz] YouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ [https://www.youtube.com/@TheGardenChurchAZ] Facebook: The Garden Church [https://www.facebook.com/thegardenchurchaz] 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skeptics-saints/id1785711720] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/4aaw3rtKUS9E23RtBrUt5X?si=763f58fae13049fe]   📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-garden-church/id1637566617] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/1vfGzNkdHvv3pU0TDZsRk1?si=0465f67635c64195]

The Anti-Christ Spirit

🌱🗺️🌵Take Ground: Pray with us and consider giving toward what God is building. Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving [https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving] The battle isn’t just against people. It’s against a spiritual resistance that has opposed Jesus from the very beginning. In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas face rejection, false worship, persecution, and violence, yet the gospel keeps advancing. 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. Don’t build your faith on personalities. Build it on Christ. ⚔️ The world may reject Jesus, but the Church must keep proclaiming Him with courage. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com [http://www.thegardenaz.com] 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz [https://www.instagram.com/thegardenaz] YouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ [https://www.youtube.com/@TheGardenChurchAZ] Facebook: The Garden Church [https://www.facebook.com/thegardenchurchaz] 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skeptics-saints/id1785711720] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/4aaw3rtKUS9E23RtBrUt5X?si=763f58fae13049fe]   📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-garden-church/id1637566617] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/1vfGzNkdHvv3pU0TDZsRk1?si=0465f67635c64195]

You Can’t Stay Neutral

🌱🗺️🌵Take Ground: Pray with us and consider giving toward what God is building. Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving [https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving] 🔥 You can resist Jesus. You can respond to Jesus. But you cannot remain neutral about Jesus. In Acts 13, the entire city gathers to hear the gospel, and two radically different responses emerge. Some rejoice, believe, and are filled with joy. 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. His resurrection demands a response. ⚡ The gospel still divides, still transforms, and still spreads. The question is: will you resist or respond? 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com [http://www.thegardenaz.com] 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM 📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz [https://www.instagram.com/thegardenaz] YouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ [https://www.youtube.com/@TheGardenChurchAZ] Facebook: The Garden Church [https://www.facebook.com/thegardenchurchaz] 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skeptics-saints/id1785711720] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/4aaw3rtKUS9E23RtBrUt5X?si=763f58fae13049fe]   📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-garden-church/id1637566617] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/1vfGzNkdHvv3pU0TDZsRk1?si=0465f67635c64195]

When Failure Isn’t Final

Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving [https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving] What question keeps you up at night? In Acts 13, Paul walks into a synagogue full of people wondering if God had forgotten His promises, and he gives them one answer: Jesus. Through Israel’s failure, delayed hope, human conflict, and deep guilt, God was still moving. He chose, led, gave, raised up, and finally sent the Savior He promised. This message is for anyone carrying regret, fear, failure, or unanswered questions. Your mistakes may be real, but they are not stronger than God’s faithfulness. Jesus is God’s answer, God’s victory, God’s King, and your Savior. 🔥 God is faithful even when we fail. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com [http://www.thegardenaz.com/] 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM 📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz [https://www.instagram.com/thegardenaz] YouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ [https://www.youtube.com/@TheGardenChurchAZ] Facebook: The Garden Church [https://www.facebook.com/thegardenchurchaz] 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skeptics-saints/id1785711720] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/4aaw3rtKUS9E23RtBrUt5X?si=763f58fae13049fe]   📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-garden-church/id1637566617] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/1vfGzNkdHvv3pU0TDZsRk1?si=0465f67635c64195]

Profile of a False Prophet

🌱🗺️🌵Take Ground: Pray with us and consider giving toward what God is building. Give here 👉 https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving [https://thegardenaz.churchcenter.com/giving] ⚠️ Not every spiritual voice is from God. In Acts 13, Paul confronts a false prophet who is twisting truth, opposing the gospel, and trying to keep someone from Jesus. This message is a serious warning for our generation: false teaching is not harmless, it can mislead people, families, and even generations. From personal family history with Mormonism to modern distortions of Scripture, this sermon calls us back to the unshakable truth of God’s Word. If we are not rooted in Scripture, we will be vulnerable to lies. 📖 Be cautious. Stay grounded. Test every voice against the Word of God. 🌎 Learn More: www.thegardenaz.com [http://www.thegardenaz.com] 🕒 Sundays at 8:00 AM | 9:30 AM | 11:00 AM  | 12:30 PM 📲 Stay Connected: Instagram: @thegardenaz [https://www.instagram.com/thegardenaz] YouTube: @TheGardenChurchAZ [https://www.youtube.com/@TheGardenChurchAZ] Facebook: The Garden Church [https://www.facebook.com/thegardenchurchaz] 🎙️ Skeptics & Saints Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skeptics-saints/id1785711720] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/4aaw3rtKUS9E23RtBrUt5X?si=763f58fae13049fe]   📖 The Garden Church Sermon Podcast – Apple: Listen Here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-garden-church/id1637566617] Spotify: Listen Here [https://open.spotify.com/show/1vfGzNkdHvv3pU0TDZsRk1?si=0465f67635c64195]
