Eden Church NJ Podcast

High Schoolers have some INCREDIBLE faith questions. They asked questions like, "How do you defend predestination?" "Is Jesus really the only way to God?" and "How do I break a porn addiction?" These are real questions that deserve honest answers. 

Eden Church is privileged to be full of youth. We are a community with many students from K through College. This live recording was taken with a classroom f...

What does it mean to be God's child? Legitimate children learn how to operate in their families. This is at the heart of what Jesus meant when he admonished us that the harvest is plenty but the workers are few. The harvest of God is obvious and real around us. Let's talk about how to make sure the harvest doesn't spoil.

"Make it make sense!" is one of the most popular phrases in the world right now. But what if our desire to make everything make sense is getting in the way of God's power showing up in our lives?

We celebrated Eden Church's 1st Birthday with a sermon topic both saints and skeptics have both considered -- Are we supposed to really believe in miracles? How likely are the miracles in the Bible to have hap...

It's time to grow, Eden! We are ultra grateful for all God has done over the first 52 Sundays of Eden Church NJ's existence. So many souls were added to the Kingdom of God. 

As our community turns 1 year old, we believe it's time to grow the Garden of God in the Garden State! We continued in our Matthew series (Matthew 8:1-3) where Jesus heals a leper.

In this sermon from our Matthew series, Pastor Brandon unpacks Jesus' warning about false prophets and wolves in sheep's clothing (Matthew 7). 

Learn how o recognize fake Christians who have the flare of Jesus but not the fruit of Jesus, and why true discipleship is measured by repentance, obedience, and fruit that lasts. Discover how to guard your heart, follow Jesus faithfully, and live a life that actually bea...

The way of the cross is not left or right, it's up!

The audio from this segment was originally posted on Instagram. It was received so well that we are now sharing it here. 

Walk with us upward in unity. Eden Church is among the most diverse faith communities in all of New Jersey. We are figuring out how to be people from varying backgrounds, living and worshipping Jesus together. In a world that glorifies politics and political...

When Jesus said "Do not judge," what does that mean? Don't watch me, watch tv? You're not allowed to make any judgments about what I do? 

Jesus is landing the plane on the sermon on the mount. And he brings one of the most important principle to know in the Christian faith. We dive in to what God says about judgement in Matthew 7:1-6 at the end of a very judgmental week in American culture (the Sunday after the C...

It's the Great Lock In! People are locking in to discipline this Fall in a unique way. And of course, Eden is here for it!

Matthew 6 comes at the perfect time in our series. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus turns to give us specific steps we can take to lock into the heart of faith.

We turn to one of the most important passages in the Bible to answer one of the most important questions in your faith walk: How should we live as God's children? 

In Matthew 5:17-48, Jesus preaches what is known as the Six Antithesis Statements. We walked through them to understand how to read them properly and connect them to the Gospel.

We talked last week about how clarity doesn't always come. But that doesn't mean God is incoherent. We have clarity on more things than we lack. 

One of those things in the standard of Christian living. How should we live as Christians? What are the marks of true Christianity? This is the exact question Jesus answers in the Sermon on the Mount. 

Here we start a new section in our Matthew series to hear see Jesus clarifying ...

We begin a new section of our Matthew series where the story of Jesus turns to clarify the Christian life. And the FIRST thing you must do when you start walking with God? Put down imposter syndrome. Pastor Brandon focused Matthew 4:23-25 and Luke 5:1-8 to show us how.

"You're thirsty" is something nobody really wants to hear in our context. So when God says come all who are thirsty, we don't naturally think He's talking to us lol. "I'm not thirsty!" is probably our natural response. But maybe God doesn't mean it like we mean it? 

Pastor Emmanuel Dominguez joined us from BRAVE Church in Washington Heights to help us find the spiritual nourishment we tru...

Wanna know what to think about the US, Iran, and Israel? Repent! What does that really mean? John bursts on the scene in Matthew 3 screaming, "Repent." Jesus soon followed. Why did they do that? And what is the significance of this message for you today?

How was Fatherhood displayed in Jesus' family? We took a look at Fatherhood through the eyes of Joseph in Matthew 2:13-15 to encourage all types of Dads in the room. 

The beginning of this sermon was accidentally cut short. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we reach month 9 of our existence as a church!
