Run to the Father | Sidney Bowie | Eden Church NJ | Sunday Service | 06.21.2026

Tithe to keep the mission moving here 🔋: https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund In this message, Sidney Bowie joins us from Crossroads Christian Fellowship in Summit NJ. We are reminded that when pain, shame, sin, or failure expose what is broken in us, our first instinct is often to cover it, hide it, or manage it ourselves. But from Adam and Eve in the garden, to David’s attempts to conceal his sin, to Peter throwing himself into the water to get to Jesus, Scripture shows us that our deepest need is not better self-protection — it is the covering only God can provide. Whether you are new to faith, returning after distance, or learning to trust God more deeply, this message invites you to stop hiding, stop managing the wound on your own, and run to the Father who meets you with mercy, grace, forgiveness, and love.

🌈❓ Are you open and affirming? | Eden Church NJ | 06.14.2026 | Pastor Brandon Cobb

Tithe to keep the mission moving here 🔋: https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund [https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund] What does it mean for a church to welcome everyone without affirming everything? In this message from 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, Pastor Brandon Cobb addresses one of the most honest and difficult questions facing Christians today: Can we love people deeply while still submitting to the authority of Scripture fully? The gospel does not call us to ignore sin, soften sin, or make sin more acceptable. The gospel tells the truth about sin so Jesus can actually wash it away. God’s love is not fragile. It is holy, strong, patient, and powerful enough to confront what is broken without rejecting the person He came to redeem. This sermon explores what the Bible says about sexual immorality, the meaning of “open and affirming,” the limits of “love is love,” and why Scripture gives us categories for obedience, not loopholes for desire. From Jesus’ words in Matthew 15 to Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 6, this message invites us to see that communion with Christ means renouncing every false allegiance and receiving the mercy of the One who does not leave us in shame. At Eden Church, we believe every word of the Bible, we welcome everyone God loves, and we trust that Jesus still washes, sanctifies, and justifies sinners by His Spirit.

🙉 Better Sex: What Nobody Told You About It | Pastor Brandon Cobb

Is the Bible actually anti-sex — or has culture been lying to you this whole time? In this message, Pastor B breaks down what God actually says about sex, why the biblical vision for sexuality is more expansive, beautiful, and fulfilling than anything culture is offering, and why the so-called "sexual revolution" isn't as new or as free as you've been told. Whether you're single, dating, living together, or married — this message will challenge how you think about sex, relationships, and what it means to fully trust God with every area of your life. This is not your typical church sex talk.

The Waiting Room Of Faith | Pastor Jordan Rice | Eden Church NJ

Tithe to keep the mission moving here 🔋: https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund In The Waiting Room of Faith, guest preacher Jordan Rice, Lead Pastor of Renaissance Church NYC, walks through Luke 8:40–56 and reminds us that waiting is not wasted when Jesus is in the room. For anyone struggling with delay, disappointment, anxiety, or the quiet belief that doing the right thing should make God move on our timeline, this message speaks directly to the tension between what we expect from God and what grace actually gives. Through the story of Jairus, the woman with the issue of blood, and the compassion of Jesus, this sermon invites us to keep our eyes fixed on the One who does not move when life feels uncertain. The waiting room of faith may feel frustrating, but it is often where God does His deepest work of transformation — healing what we can see, restoring what we cannot, and reminding us that our lives are held by more grace than we even realize.

The end of retirement | How to retire without withdrawing | Pastor Brandon Cobb

Tithe to keep the mission moving here 🔋: https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund What does God say about retirement, purpose, and the next season of your life? In this message from Numbers 8:23–26, Pastor Brandon Cobb teaches that in the Kingdom of God, retirement does not mean retreat — it means reassignment. Whether you are 25, 55, 75, or 85, your life still carries purpose, wisdom, responsibility, and spiritual weight. Jesus is still working, still interceding, still building His Church — and if we follow Him, we are never called to withdraw from the mission. We are called to stay engaged until the end. This sermon is a powerful call for every generation at Eden Church to see their season clearly: supporting, building, overseeing, and guarding the work of God. Pastor Brandon challenges younger leaders to receive wisdom without insecurity and calls seasoned saints to use their experience not to control or coast, but to guard the gospel, strengthen the Church, and help build a future where Jersey is reached with the love of Jesus. If you have ever wondered whether your best days are behind you, this message will remind you: in Christ, your role may change, but your calling is not over.
