The Garden Church

The Garden Church

The Garden Church

The Garden is a church for skeptics and saints.
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.

Our world is drowning in darkness, spiritual confusion, empty ideologies, and hollow promises of freedom that only enslave. But into that darkness, Jesus steps forward and declares: “I am the Light of the World.”
He’s not just a good teacher. Not just a healer. He’s the eternal God, the “I AM” who existed before Abraham, the One who came not to condemn but to rescue.
In a culture spiraling into chaos, Jesus exposes our sin, offers us freedom, and calls us to worship—not with hype, but with surrendered hearts.
This is the gospel: the truth doesn’t shame you, it sets you free.

The Garden Church - Re-Godding Jesus | Revelation 1:9-20
play

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.

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 Garden Church - The Art of Being Forgotten
play

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.

11/18/24 • 41 min

In John 2:1–12, Jesus' first miracle is more than an act of provision; it heralds a new era of grace, joy, and spiritual renewal. This first miracle isn't just about provision; it's a declaration of a new era—one of abundant grace, joy, and deep cleansing for our souls. Through symbolic water jars meant for purification, Jesus demonstrates His power to meet our deepest needs, cleanse our hearts, and fill our lives to overflowing with His love.
This passage invites us to step into the fullness of His grace, to reflect on our need for transformation, and to trust Him as the true source of renewal. Don’t miss this powerful moment where the ordinary becomes extraordinary through Jesus!

The Garden Church - Are You Spiritually Blind?
play

05/14/25 • 49 min

Blind Eyes. Mud in the Face. A Whole New Life.
A man born blind is suddenly healed with spit and dirt... seriously. But the real scandal isn’t the miracle. It’s what happens after.
The healed man is dragged into interrogation, abandoned by his parents, and harassed by religious leaders, all because he won’t deny the one thing he knows: “I was blind, and now I see.”
This isn’t just his story. It’s ours.
Some of us are stuck in spiritual darkness: confused, deconstructing, numb to what’s true. Others claim to see but are walking blind.
Jesus doesn’t wait for perfect people. He meets the broken in the dirt and opens their eyes.
Are you seeing clearly, or just pretending to?
The Light of the world is here. And He's not afraid to get His hands dirty.
