🌱🗺️🌵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] 👀 Nephilim, demons, and… did Jesus preach to spirits in prison?! We dive into Genesis 6, unpack the Nephilim, and wrestle with one of the most debated questions in Scripture, are these giants, angels, or something even darker? Then it escalates… Why do demons suddenly flood the New Testament? Are unclean spirits connected to the Nephilim? And what do Peter, Jude, and even early Christians actually believe? 🤯 But here’s the twist: this isn’t about feeding conspiracy theories… it’s about waking up to spiritual reality. ⚠️ Don’t get obsessed with demons. Get serious about prayer. 🎧 Jump in, think deeply, and learn how to stand firm in a real spiritual war. 🌎 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]
