The Garden Church
The Garden Church
It's a church where your bartender could get baptized, where broken marriages are restored, and the last person you'd see in church might be lit on fire by the hope of the Gospel.
The Garden is a church that's not bashful about truth but enthusiastic about rich theology so that Christians young and old might be fully equipped.
We long to see the whole West Valley renewed by the power and beauty of Jesus.

Jesus Seeks the Outsider
The Garden Church
02/09/25 • 36 min
We love a good underdog story. Whether it's a struggling athlete getting their big break or an overlooked competitor rising to victory, something inside us roots for the one who wasn’t supposed to win. But no one champions the underdog like Jesus.
In John 4, we see Jesus breaking every barrier—cultural, social, and religious—to seek a Samaritan woman with a scandalous past. He doesn’t just offer her acceptance; He offers her living water—true, eternal satisfaction that no relationship, possession, or success can provide. And once she encounters Him, she can’t keep it to herself. She runs back to her town, bringing others to the Messiah.
This is what Jesus does. He seeks the lost, satisfies the thirsty, and sends the saved. The same Jesus who pursued her is pursuing you. Will you let Him transform you into an ambassador for His Kingdom?

Like Father Like Son
The Garden Church
03/10/25 • 47 min
Jesus isn’t just a good teacher. He isn’t just a miracle worker. He is the Son of God, carrying the full power of Heaven and Hell in His hands.
In John 5, Jesus makes it clear—He only does what the Father does. If you love God, you can’t ignore Jesus. To honor the Father, you must honor the Son. The heartbeat of the universe isn’t chaos, politics, or self-preservation—it’s a Father who loves His Son, and through Him, gives life to the world.
For parents dedicating their children today, this truth is massive. You’re not just raising kids—you’re raising disciples. Faith isn’t inherited; it’s demonstrated. Your children will fear the God you fear and ignore the God you ignore.
And here’s the best news: Jesus isn’t just coming to raise the dead at the end of time—He’s raising people to life today. Have you blown it? Feel spiritually lifeless? Jesus can awaken what’s dead in you right now.
Find life in Him. There is no other source.

Serve Sunday: Stewarding What God Has Given You
The Garden Church
02/23/25 • 31 min
God has given you something—talents, skills, abilities—not for yourself, but for His Kingdom. The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 reminds us that everything we have is a gift from God, not something we’ve earned. The question is, what are you doing with what He has entrusted to you?
Too often, we undervalue our own gifts. We compare ourselves to others, assuming what we have is insignificant. But Jesus makes it clear: God highly values what He has given you, and He expects you to use it for His glory. Whether you’re gifted in hospitality, leadership, teaching, organization, or service—there is no talent too small or insignificant in the Body of Christ.
Today is Serve Sunday—a day to take action. Step in, serve, and be a part of something bigger than yourself. You have been given much—how will you use it?

Less of Me
The Garden Church
02/03/25 • 34 min
We don’t just need a remodel—we need a total rebuild. Too many people treat Jesus like an upgrade to an already decent life, but the gospel says otherwise. Left to ourselves, we’re broken, self-centered, and hopeless. True transformation begins when we let go of control and surrender to Christ. John the Baptist understood this when he declared, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” That’s the essence of following Jesus.
In this passage, we see what it means to be set apart, to embrace being second, and to seal our lives with Christ’s truth. This is the radical shift that leads to real, lasting change. Baptism is a public declaration of that transformation—a dying to self and rising to new life in Jesus.
Are you still trying to upgrade your old life, or are you ready to let Jesus rebuild you completely?

Re-Godding Jesus | Revelation 1:9-20
The Garden Church
01/15/24 • 36 min
This message is all about true worship. What is your view of Jesus? Maybe you’d say he's just dead rabbi that has had some influence on Western society the same as Sigmund Freud or Charles Darwin. He’s interesting but not personally consequential. Or maybe you’d say you believe in God, but Jesus and church are basically just a nice thing we can add to our lives. In this teaching, Nolan Tjaden argues that Jesus is not inconsequential or optional but vital. Jesus is the center of all things, and His power and authority demands our daily allegiance. Which is the heart of worship.
Your Resurrected Life Now
The Garden Church
11/20/23 • 32 min
If you got a second chance at life life, how would you live differently? Salvation--or becoming a Christian--is being given a new life. It's is an even more profound shift than being raised from physical death. In a real and spiritual way, when you become a Christian, you receive a brand new life. You have been raised from the dead with Christ. So, you've become a Christian, now what? Nolan Tjaden unpacks what Paul teaches in Colossians 3:1-17 about living a resurrected life.
The Art of Being Forgotten
The Garden Church
10/27/24 • 42 min
In a world consumed by self-image, where every scroll, post, and click pulls us further into the culture of personal branding and validation, we find ourselves more disconnected and anxious than ever. Could it be that true freedom lies not in being noticed, but in stepping aside? In "The Art of Being Forgotten," we explore the powerful paradox of selflessness, turning to the lives of John the Baptist and other humble leaders who found deep, lasting fulfillment in lives dedicated to something beyond themselves. John the Baptist, known not for self-promotion but for his relentless focus on Christ, shows us what it means to make way for a purpose greater than our own. Rather than seeking fame, he lived to magnify Jesus, embracing a life that pointed to something—Someone—eternally more significant than his own story.
Prince of Peace
The Garden Church
12/19/23 • 31 min
Today's world is full of chaos. But Jesus brings peace. In this message Justin Doyle works through four prophetic names of Jesus. Meaning 700 years before Jesus a prophecy was spoken detailing the power of what Jesus would accomplish. One name is Prince of Peace. Do you need peace? Do you need hope? Jesus is that peace and He offers that hope. Listen this teaching to learn more about peace.
You Are Not Home | Revelation 21:1-27
The Garden Church
08/13/24 • 30 min
When have you sought a new home or new life in a new location? When have you felt homesick? There is a deep and inescapable longing for home in the human heart. Why is that there? For the follower of Jesus, it's easy to setup life as though this is it. But we are resident aliens made for a better world. So how should we approach today? We are called to live the heaven life backward into the present. We get a glorious vision of eternity in Revelation 21. Lean in as Jonesy takes us through this text.
New Here Night!
Jesus Clears the Temple With Justin
The Garden Church
01/06/25 • 46 min
What happens when zeal for God confronts greed and corruption? In John 2:13-22, Jesus enters the temple and overturns more than just tables—He upends the way we think about worship, holiness, and our hearts. With a whip of cords in hand and fire in His eyes, Jesus declares that His Father’s house is not a marketplace but a sacred space for communion with God.
But this isn’t just about a building. Jesus’ fury exposes misplaced priorities and a deeper truth: He is the true temple, the meeting place between heaven and earth, where broken hearts are restored and sin is forgiven. His actions point to the cross, where His body—the ultimate temple—would be destroyed and raised again, making way for all to worship in spirit and truth.
Are there "tables" in your life that need to be overturned? Let Jesus' zeal for holiness inspire a fresh encounter with His grace. Listen now and let your heart be stirred.
