Glad Tidings Church Muncie

Guest Speaker Dr. James O. Davis, founder of Cutting Edge International and Global Church Network.

John was clear about the reason he wrote his gospel and why he chose the signs that he chose to highlight—so that his readers might believe “that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and that believing” they might have “life in His name” (John 20:31). Pastor Kevin will complete his series That You May Believe by unpacking what exactly that belief (authentic faith) looks like and how we...

Fifteenth century Dutch theologian Thomas a’ Kempis wrote, “For a little reward men make a long journey; for eternal life many will scarce lift a foot once from the ground.” This Resurrection Sunday Pastor Kevin will continue his series from John’s Gospel as he preaches on the 7th sign of Jesus recorded by John—the raising of Lazarus and we will discover how that miracle foreshadowed His own resur...

Author Tim Goble wrote, “It’s tough to be in the dark and not let the dark get in you. The unending struggle for the Christian is to walk in the light and at the same time keep moving into the shadows.” This maxim emerges from John’s record of Jesus healing the man born blind and is the subject of Pastor Kevin’s message, part six of his eight-part series,  That You May Believe ! 

“The storms that stand in our way are only an opportunity for Jesus to reveal His glory!” This is one of the many truths that we will discover this Sunday as Pastor Kevin shares part five of this eight-part series, That You May Believe and we turn our attention to the sign of Jesus walking on the water. Learn how you can deepen your faith through the storms in your life. 

“I have learned something along the way. If we offer faithfully to God what we have, somehow it will be used in magnificent ways. We must never underestimate what God will do with what we give.” These words of Dr. Landis Hugh Litchfield are a marvelous summary of the miracle of the feeing of the 5,000. With obedient disciples and a little lad’s lunch, Jesus fed the multitude and completed His four...

The narrative of the man healed by Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda highlights the peril of spiritual blindness—first the man healed who did not know the reason for his blessing and then the blindness of the religious leaders who saw the works of Jesus but failed to understand His heart. In part three of That You May Believe we consider this miracle and address the issue of Godly Restlessness.

Though our culture shuns hardship, we would do well to remember that God uses it "for our good, that we may share in his holiness" (Hebrews 12:10). In Pastor Kevin’s second message in the series “That You May Believe,"  we learn about Jesus’ second sign in John’s gospel, the healing of the nobleman’s son and how through adversity, God shapes, matures, and perfect our faith.

“ The world in not lacking in wonders, but in a sense of wonder. ” These words of G.K. Chesterton serve as a powerful reminder that God is ALWAYS at work in our world and in our lives. Pastor Kevin begins his new series from the Gospel of John, “ That You May Believe ,” this Sunday and he will help us explore the seven “ signs ” of the fourth gospel and show us how each of these miraculous wonders...

“The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from .” These are the words of the late Frederick Buechner in his  Sacred Journey: A Memoir of Early Days. Pastor Kevin will complete his series, Fear F...

Author Dallas Willard said, “ For those who love God, nothing irredeemable can happen to to you. ” God always has a redemptive purpose for everything that happens in our lives. Through struggle, disappointment, failure, and heartaches, God is still working His redemptive plan in us. Sadly, too often fear paralyzes us from knowing that purpose. Pastor’s Kevin’s part three from series from Romans 8:...

In part two of his four-part series, Fear Factor, Pastor Kevin will address the tragic results of fear that paralyzes our ability to hear the promptings of the Holy Spirit who quickens our spirits, deepens our understanding of truth, and convicts us when we drift. Don’t miss — Fear Factor—Part Two: Hearing God’s Voice.

“If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father.” These are the words of the late J.I. Packer. In part one of Pastor Kevin’s new four-week series, Fear Factor, he will discuss how freedom from fear enables us to fully enjoy the spirit of sonship that enables us to cry out, “ Abba Father!...

If you are tired of giving in to your enemy, and you are ready to walk in the strength of the Lord, you will not want to miss the final message of Pastor Kevin’s three-part series. The Lord is our Strength, from Psalm 18 . Join us as we learn how God exalts us by reversing our predicament, empowering our witness , and re-ordering our perspective.

Bethlehem was not a coincidence—it was a place of great importance, the place God had ORDAINED for His Son to be born.

Walter Wangerin Jr., an inner-city pastor and author who died in August of 2021, penned these powerful words. “ This is a mystery—that Christ can be the obedient, glorious love of God and the full measure of our disobedience, both at once. ” In part two of his series from Psalm 18, The Lord is our Strength, Pastor Kevin will explore this powerful mystery as we learn that the Lord as our strength E...

The Christian journey is marked by spiritual enemies and real spiritual battles. As Jill Briscoe, the widow of the great pastor Stuart Briscoe wrote, “  We can worry or we can worship. Strangely enough, busy people find it a whole lot easier to worry than to worship .” The psalmist worshiped and in Psalm 18 we see the reason why. He knew that the Lord was his strength. Here, Pastor Kevin begi...

New research indicates that most people keep the promise they put at the TOP of their New Year’s resolution list. Pastor Kevin will take a close look at what ought to be at the top of our list and how when we “commit our works to the Lord,” our thoughts and plans “will be established” (Proverbs 16:3).

The first Adam needed God to breathe life into him, while the last Adam triumphed over death and breathes life by His Spirit into all who call on Him. This, and much more in the conclusion of Pastor Kevin‘s Advent series , He Shall Be Called. 

Thomas did not ask Jesus how he could live the good life. He did not ask Him how he could better follow His example. He asked Him how he could know the way to get where Jesus was headed, and Jesus said, “ I am THE way!” Here we learn the implications of Jesus’ identity as “ The way, truth, and life .”

In part two of our Advent Series, He Shall Be Called, Pastor Kevin will explore the significance of Jesus as the Lamb of God, tracing this language through the Old and New Testaments and unveiling the full revelation that comes with John’s vision on the island of Patmos. Here we will discover that Jesus, the Lamb of God is not only worthy of our worship but as we truly worship Him, He gives us wor...

Thomas Merton, an American monk who died in 1968 said this of Christ—“It is He alone who holds our world together and keeps us all from being poured headlong and immediately into the pit of our eternal destruction.” This is the essence of Christ’s personal witness to John when He said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.”  Alpha & Omega is an in-depth look at this gr...

Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matthew 28:19 This passage is called the Great Commission, and it’s what drives us here at Glad Tidings. To fulfill the Great Commission we must: go, make disciples, baptize, & teach. Pastor David Wigington Jr. presents...

Pastor Randy Carter of Priority One Ministries speaks on what it looks like to live so that others might be blessed. 

When faced with the greatest challenge of his monarchal rule, Judah’s king Jehoshaphat brought all the people together to seek the face of God and incite His intervention. He brought adults and children alike and together they prayed. KIng Jehoshaphat knew the importance of every generation being near the presence of God. Pastor Kevin will challenge us regarding the importance of inter-generationa...
