In Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira try to “look holy” without being holy, and their deception doesn’t just backfire, it drops them. 💀 Why would God judge so fast, so hard? Because God guards where God dwells. The church isn’t a social club, it’s a holy invasion, a place where heaven bends low and hypocrisy gets exposed. ⚡️🏛️

This message will confront fake faith, comfort-driven Christianity, and the terrifying beauty of God’s presence, and it’ll point you to the only safe place for sinners, the cross of Jesus. ✝️🔥

What do you do when obeying God could cost you everything?

Acts 3–4 shows us a church that refuses comfort and chooses courage. A miracle sparks belief, the resurrection provokes outrage, and opposition exposes what kind of faith the disciples really have. Like Martin Luther standing before the powers of his day, Peter and John preach Christ anyway, pray boldly, and leave shaken but unashamed. 💥🙏

This message traces the unstoppable flow of the early church, from power → persuasion → persecution → prayer, and asks a piercing question: are we more committed to self-preservation or the resurrection? Boldness doesn’t come from personality, it comes from being with Jesus.

If you want a faith that doesn’t fold under pressure, this one’s for you.
👉 Listen, pray, and step out in bold obedience. ✝️🔥

You were made for war. 2026 can’t be another year about trying to get less out of shape and making zero difference in the spiritual war all around us. What if you made this year about fighting the darkness, leading the people around you, and being a deeper and more serious follower of Christ?

In this talk, Nolan casts vision for how The Garden is positioning you to do just that in several very specific ways. How are we making a dent in the darkness this year? He’ll unpack Matthew 28:16-20 and Jesus’ great commission—diving deep into Kingdom theology.

Also: Don’t miss the invite to a very special vision night concerning some big upcoming moves we’re making as a church!

Is it actually biblical for pastors to do Q&A… or is that just modern church culture? Turns out, Scripture is loaded with it.

In this raw, wide-ranging Q&A, our pastors tackle the real questions the church is asking, from hearing God’s voice, science and faith, lust, guilt, and forgiveness, to Mormonism, Revelation, gender roles, dating, abuse, and how the Gospel actually changes daily life. Nothing is off-limits, and nothing is watered down.

This isn’t hot takes or vague spirituality. It’s Bible-soaked wisdom, pastoral honesty, and truth spoken straight to the heart.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, confusion, or shame, this conversation is for you.

Have you ever wondered if God is really at work… or if life should look bigger than this?

Christmas isn’t a Hallmark moment, it’s a hostile takeover. The Gospel invades real history, real empires, and real pain, not with power plays, but with a baby in a manger.

Luke 2 exposes a clash of kingdoms: Caesar’s loud empire versus Jesus’ quiet reign. While the proud miss Him, the humble see Him. This King doesn’t crush His enemies, He’s crushed for them. If your life feels small, overlooked, or hopeless, don’t assume God is absent. What if He’s working humbly? Press play, let the King disrupt your expectations, and decide which kingdom you belong to.
