🛟 This is a rescue mission | Galatians 1:1-5 | Eden Church NJ

Tithe to keep the mission moving here 🔋: https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund What does it mean to follow Jesus when so many voices are competing for your attention? In this opening message from Eden Church’s sermon series through Galatians, Pastor B begins with Galatians 1:1–5 and explores why Paul opens this letter with urgency, authority, and a deep concern for the gospel of grace. Galatians was written to churches being pulled away from the freedom of Christ, and this message invites us to consider how easily believers today can be shaped by culture, confusion, religious pressure, and misplaced trust. This sermon, “This Is a Rescue Mission,” looks at the difference between temporary relief and true rescue, the importance of spiritual authority, and the freedom Jesus gives through His death and resurrection. Whether you are new to Christianity, returning to faith, preparing for baptism, or trying to discern which voices deserve your trust, this message will help you see why the gospel is not merely advice to improve your life, but the good news that Jesus gave Himself to rescue us.

🔌 There is Power in the name of Jesus | Rev. Dr. Michael Carrion

Tithe to keep the mission moving here 🔋: https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund What does it mean for the Church to truly be one in the name of Jesus? In this powerful message from Rev. Dr. Michael Carrion of Promised Land Covenant Church and Redeemer City to City, we are brought back to the prayer of Jesus in John 17 — that His people would be united, not around preference, background, culture, or comfort, but around His name, His mission, and His kingdom. This sermon is a call to remember who Jesus is: the Messiah who identifies with the broken, restores what feels dead, and brings people from every tribe, tongue, and story into one family. Through testimony, Scripture, and a prophetic challenge to the Church, Dr. Carrion reminds us that unity is not a nice idea — it is the evidence of the gospel at work. Jesus still rescues. Jesus still restores. Jesus still manifests His power in families, communities, and places that need resurrection. Watch and be reminded: there is power in the name of Jesus, and His Church is called to move as one.

LGBT+ Statement | Eden Church NJ | Pastor Brandon Cobb

Tithe to keep the mission moving here 🔋: https://edenchurchnj.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ministry-fund What does Eden Church believe about sexuality, identity, and LGBT+ questions? As Pride Celebrations happen in Asbury Park and Pride Flags get raised in Hackensack and Jersey City, this conversation has come up frequently. In this statement, Pastor Brandon Cobb and Eden Church seek to respond with both conviction and compassion: we believe every person is made in the image of God, every person is worthy of dignity and care, and every person is invited to Jesus. At the same time, we believe Scripture is the final authority for our lives, not culture, desire, pressure, or personal opinion. Our aim is not to win an argument, but to tell the truth in love and make clear how Eden seeks to welcome everyone God loves without affirming everything people believe. This conversation matters because real people are not issues, labels, or debates. They are sons and daughters, friends and neighbors, people carrying stories, wounds, questions, and hopes. Eden’s LGBT+ statement explains our biblical convictions around marriage, sexuality, sin, grace, repentance, belonging, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus does not meet us with cold distance or careless approval. He meets us with mercy, clarity, and power — washing, sanctifying, and justifying sinners by His Spirit. Our prayer is that this statement helps build trust, bring clarity, and invite every person into the hope and holiness found in Christ.

🏃🏾‍♂️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.
