“I believe in crystals.” 🔮
Healing energy. Protection. Alignment.
But what if what you’re looking for… isn’t what you’re finding?
In Acts 8, we see a collision between magic and the miraculous, counterfeit spirituality vs. the real power of God. And it forces a question most people avoid:
Is all spirituality the same?
The Bible’s answer is unapologetic, no.
There are only two categories:
✨ The Holy Spirit
⚠️ Everything else
This message confronts two kinds of people:
The magician, chasing spiritual experiences, energy, and control.
The materialist, convinced there’s nothing beyond what can be seen or measured.
And both are missing the same thing… the real God.
Because the world performs for attention…
But the Church proclaims for transformation.
Some of you have settled for something cheap.
A diluted spirituality. A customized God. A powerless faith.
But God offers something money can’t buy, control can’t manufacture, and culture can’t replicate.
The real thing.
And maybe the very thing that led you here…
was meant to lead you to Him. ✝️
A CHURCH FOR SKEPTICS & SAINTS
Whether you’re curious about Christianity or a serious follower of Jesus, we’d love to see you this Sunday.
IS THE GARDEN BIBLICALLY SOUND?
We have a high view of the Bible and take sound doctrine seriously.
-
Everyone will be dressed in what’s comfortable. Some people rock button-ups. Others T-Shirts. If you look extra snazzy, more power to you. Feel comfortable to be yourself.
-
Each weekend we gather to hear fresh, relevant, teaching from the bible that will impact your real life. We speak to non-christians and christians alike because we’re a church that exists for the West Valley. A band leads us in a time of musical worship to Jesus. We have response times where people can go be prayed for, take communion (eat bread and drink juice remembering what Jesus did for us), or give to the mission.
If you’re new, we don’t pressure you to do things like take communion or give money. We actually don’t want you to. We give as a church to create space for you. We genuinely care about you and you’re our valued guest. -
We are a non-denominational church but anchored in the Historic Christian Confessions, imbued by the wisdom of Christian history, and affiliated with doctrinally sound Christian networks: Vision Arizona, Flatirons Church Planting Network, and Strategic Launch Network.
We joke that we’re bapti-costal because we’re serious about robust verse by verse bible teaching and passionate Spirit-filled living. We believe the Spirit is at work bringing about order and beauty in the life of Christians the same today as in the early church because He is unchanging. -
So glad you asked!
