We all want this year to be different—but real progress doesn’t start with rushing ahead. It starts with preparation. In Week 1 of Ready Set Go, Pastor Michael Norman challenges us to slow down before we speed up. Drawing from Joshua 1, this message unpacks why God calls us to rest in His timing, reflect on His faithfulness, and fix our focus back on Him before stepping into what’s next. If you’re...

Change sounds great—until it gets hard. In this message, we explore why so many of us want something to be different but struggle to actually change. Through Jesus’ call to Simon and Andrew in Mark 1, you’ll discover that real change doesn’t start with trying harder—it starts with believing that where Jesus is calling you is better than where you are now. Whether you want God to change something i...

What if the greatest love story ever told isn’t a movie—but a moment when light broke into real darkness?

Whether your life feels calm and bright—or heavy and worn—this message points to the hope, peace, and new life found in Jesus, the Light...

Christmas invites belief—but it also demands a decision. Is Jesus just a baby in a manger… a good teacher… or the King of kings? In Miracle in the Manger, we look beyond the sentiment of Christmas to the stunning claim hidden in plain sight: the manger wasn’t just humble—it was revolutionary. Through the gift of gold and the response of the Wise Men, this message reveals who Jesus truly is and why...

Through the story of the wise men and the meaning behind their gifts, we see Jesus revealed as our King, our Sacrifice, and our Great High Priest—one who understands us, intercedes for us, and invites...

When life feels confusing, crowded with voices, or headed in the wrong direction, it’s easy to wonder if you’ll ever get back on track. In this week’s message, Pastor Adam shares how God leads us toward clarity, purpose, and peace — and why you’re never too far gone for a new direction. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or unsure of your next step, this message will show you how to find your way ba...

If you’ve ever wondered whether God really sees what you’re going through—or whether He still speaks in the middle of the chaos—you need this message. This week, we look at Psalm 29 and discover a truth that can steady you in any season: God is sovereign, and His voice has the authority to shape storms, break strongholds, and speak clarity into the moments you least expect. If you’re tired of tryi...

What if God wasn't just a comforting presence, but a fierce protector who rises to fight for you? In this message, Pastor Adam Haugen challenges cultural confusion about strength, identity, and faith—especially for those feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or spiritually passive. Whether you’re battling anxiety, apathy, addiction, or the quiet ache of knowing there's more to life than your to-do list, thi...

Life rarely sits still. Circumstances shift, culture moves, and even our confidence can feel like it’s on shaky ground. If you’ve felt unsettled, frustrated by change, or unsure how to find peace when life keeps moving, this message is for you. In this week of Four Chapters, we look to Psalm 102 and discover the steady, unchanging nature of God. When everything around us feels uncertain, God’s con...

In part one of Four Chapters: God in the Psalms, Pastor Adam Haugen unpacks Psalm 104 to reveal God as both the Creator who brings order to chaos and the Caretaker who sustains all creation. Many today aren’t rejecting who God truly is—they’re rejecting a distorted view of Him. This message helps us rediscover the real God by seeing who He is and who He’s not. When life feels formless or overwhelm...

Dareth Ly tells how Jesus turned tragedy into purpose. After losing everything as a child under the Khmer Rouge, Dareth found healing in Christ and returned to Cambodia to bring that same hope to others. His message: Missions aren’t just part of the church—they’re the point of it. Open your eyes. The harvest is ready.

What does real loyalty look like in a culture of self-preservation and conditional commitment? In this message, Pastor Adam Haugen exposes the lies that keep us divided—“look out for number one” and “I can’t be loyal if you’re not loyal to me”—and reveals the truth of God’s hesed love: steadfast, covenant faithfulness that never quits. Discover how to reflect God’s loyal love in your marriage, fri...

In a world obsessed with showing off, Pastor Adam Haugen reminds us that modesty isn’t about appearance — it’s about the heart. True modesty keeps honor in the right place, directing glory to God rather than ourselves. Learn how to flex less, honor more, and walk humbly with Him.

This week at Glad Tidings Church, we conclude our Legacy series with a powerful reminder that God is always working—upstream and down the road. Drawing from Joshua 3–4 and Habakkuk 2:3, Pastor Adam Haugen unpacks what it means to wait on God when the river feels raging, the miracle seems delayed, and doubts start to rise. Through stories of Joshua’s faith at the Jordan River, the hidden clay that...

In part three of our Legacy series, Pastor Adam Haugen reminds us that leaving a legacy means more than having a mentor—it also means investing in someone else. Just as Moses poured into Joshua, we are called to raise up the next generation, even while facing our own battles. This message challenges us to fight for others in prayer, pursue God personally, and be strong and courageous in the face o...

In this week’s message, We All Need a Jethro, Pastor Adam explores the vital role of mentors in our lives. Just as Jethro guided Moses with wisdom, encouragement, and sound advice, we too need people who will listen, challenge, and speak truth into us. Legacy isn’t built alone. It grows when we allow others to invest in us, helping us walk faithfully and make better decisions. This message will in...

What kind of legacy are you leaving behind? Most of us would say we want our families and the people we love to experience joy and fulfillment. But if happiness is the goal, it’s a shaky plan—because what makes one person happy can leave another empty. In this opening message of our Legacy series, Pastor Adam shows us from Scripture that God calls us to something greater. Through the life of Moses...

This week at Glad Tidings, Pastor Hillarie shared a powerful message on Kingdom Purpose as part of our Home Team series. She reminded us that God’s Kingdom often looks upside-down from our expectations—but it’s exactly what we need. We’re called to Join the Team, Learn the Playbook, and Run the Plays as we live out our faith and bring God’s Kingdom near. Whether you’re looking for encouragement, d...

Bad days are inevitable—but how we respond to them makes all the difference. In this message, Pastor Adam Haugen draws from Philippians 4 and the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 to show us how to face overwhelming seasons of stress, fear, and anxiety. Through humor, real-life stories, and the reminder that even great men of faith struggled, we discover that God is close, even in our worst moments. H...

God never intended for us to walk through life alone. From the very beginning, He created us for community—a place to belong, to be known, and to grow together in faith. In this week’s message, Pastor Adam Haugen unpacks the beauty and challenge of biblical community. It’s more than attending a service; it’s a gathering of grace, healing, and mission. Just as the early church met daily to pray, sh...

Prayer isn’t just something we do—it’s the heartbeat of our relationship with God. But too often, we treat prayer like a wish list, a spare tire, or a spiritual checklist. In this message, Pastor Adam Haugen unpacks what prayer is not, why it matters, and how it aligns our hearts to God’s will instead of trying to bend Him to ours. With humor, personal stories, and biblical truth, you’ll discover...

We were made to worship. But in the absence of the holy, we often chase the hype—filling our lives with things that can’t truly satisfy. In this message, Pastor Adam Haugen challenges us to see worship not as a song we sing, but as a sacrifice we live. Discover how worship transforms our minds, refocuses our hearts, and realigns our lives to the One who is worthy of it all.

In the final message of the Spiritual Ops series, Pastor Adam Haugen teaches from Ephesians 6 on how to fight life’s daily spiritual battles. We’re reminded to protect our minds with the helmet of salvation, wield the sword of the Spirit—God’s Word—and stay grounded through constant prayer. Real transformation starts in the mind. When we take our thoughts captive and renew them with truth, we live...
