Glad Tidings Church - Leander Campus

We've been in a powerful series through the book of Jonah, and we'll pick it back up next week with Part 3. But today, we're taking a pause for a timely message: "Letting Go of What I Used to Do." Sometimes the hardest thing to do is let go of what's familiar—even when it's holding us back. This message will challenge you to release what no longer belongs, return to God's best, and take a stand against the enemy's plan.

What do you do when you've been running from God—and you finally hit rock bottom?In part two of our series through the book of Jonah, Pastor Adam Haugen explores Jonah's turning point in the belly of the fish—a moment of desperation that led to heartfelt prayer and a renewed sense of purpose. Through humor, raw honesty, and powerful biblical truth, we're reminded: it's never too late to pray, and God is always working—sometimes even in the mess.If you've ever felt like you were too far gone or too stuck to hear God's voice, this message will encourage you to stop running from God and start running to Him. Because even in the storm, even in the struggle, God's grace is closer than you think.

What do you do when God asks you to do something you don't want to do?In this first message of our new series through the book of Jonah, we see the story of a prophet who hears God clearly—but chooses to run. Jonah's resistance isn't rooted in fear—it's rooted in pride, bitterness, and a clash of values. And if we're honest, many of us can relate.Pastor Adam walks us through Jonah chapter 1 and unpacks what happens when we run from God: life unravels, worship becomes hollow, and others can even get caught in our storm. But the good news? God's grace always runs faster than we do.This message will challenge your comfort, expose hidden compromise, and call you back to full obedience to the voice of God.

What if the work is the reward? What if the prize is in the process? And what if—right in the middle of the mundane—you could actually be grateful in the grind?On this special weekend, as we celebrate graduates and honor those who gave their lives for our freedom, Pastor Adam wraps up the Come Home series by challenging the “when/then” mindset so many of us live with: “When I get there, thenI'll be fulfilled.” But what if God is calling us to live with purpose right where we are?Drawing from Paul's words in 1 Corinthians, this message reminds us that the goal isn't just personal gratification, but glorifying God in whatever we do. Whether you're chasing dreams, folding laundry, or fighting discouragement, this message will help you reframe your everyday moments with meaning and purpose.Because when you live for the glory of God—every diaper changed, every bill paid, every step taken—is on purpose.

We all have them—those people who challenge our patience, push our buttons, or leave us emotionally drained. In Part 4 of our Come Home series, Pastor Adam Haugen dives into the Apostle Paul's words in Ephesians to explore how we can respond to difficult people with grace, boundaries, and truth. This message will help you see others (and yourself) through God's eyes and take practical steps toward peace, even when it feels out of reach.Whether you're dealing with conflict at home, tension at work, or hurt in the church—this episode is for you.

Bitterness. Anger. Offense. We've all been hurt—but what do we do with that pain? In this message from Ephesians 4, Pastor Adam Haugen walks us through the trap of unforgiveness and the freedom that forgiveness brings. With powerful stories, practical tools, and a raw, honest look at personal wounds, this message helps us see that forgiveness isn't forgetting, approving, or even trusting—it's choosing to release, because Christ released us. You may not feel ready to forgive, but through Jesus, healing is possible.Key Verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32Ready to be free? This message might be the step your heart has been waiting for.

Parenting isn't for the faint of heart—and in today's world, it might be harder than ever. In this message, Pastor Adam Haugen brings humor, honesty, and biblical truth to one of life's most challenging callings. Drawing from Ephesians 5, he reminds us that parenting starts not with fixing our kids, but by shaping our own hearts.Learn why your identity as a child of God matters more than your parenting method, how your kids mirror what they seemore than what you say, and why consistent, kind correction can transform mistakes into masterpieces. Whether you're raising toddlers, teens, or adult children—or just want to support the next generation—this message is filled with practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement.It's not about raising "good kids"... it's about raising godly adults.

This week, Pastors Adam and Amber Haugen kicked off our brand-new series Come Home—a four-week journey focused on strengthening the relationships that matter most. In this first message, they dive deep into the topic of Marriage, exploring the beauty, challenges, and calling of covenant relationships.From hilarious real-life moments to heartfelt biblical truths, Adam and Amber share how God uses our differences to strengthen us—not divide us. They unpack how marriage is not just a contract, but a covenant; not about “me” but about “we.” Together, they challenge both husbands and wives to practice mutual submission, selfless love, and Christ-like leadership in their homes.Whether you're single, newly married, or have been journeying together for decades, this message offers wisdom, encouragement, and a powerful reminder: your marriage can be as strong as both of you choose it to be—with God at the center.

On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Adam Haugen walks us through one of the most pivotal questions in human history: Who is Jesus—Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?As we celebrate the resurrection, we also confront the claims of Christ and the evidence behind them. Was Jesus just a good teacher… or something more? Through Scripture, historical insight, and personal testimony, this message explores the exclusive and life-changing truth of the Gospel: that Jesus is Lord—and you are the one He loves.Whether you're hurting, searching, or just showed up for the Easter ham—this message is for you. Jesus' love isn't just general—it's personal. Come discover how the resurrection changes everything… starting with you.Use the links below to stay connected.

This Palm Sunday, Pastor Adam dives into one of the most profound identities of Jesus—the Son of Man. As the final week of Jesus' life begins, we reflect not only on His divinity but on His full humanity. Why did Jesus refer to Himself as the Son of Man more than any other title? What does that mean for us today?From Daniel's prophecy to the cross at Calvary, this message explores how Jesus embraced self-denial, chose servanthood, and endured suffering to restore a relationship between God and humanity. You'll be challenged to step away from a self-centered culture and embrace a life of daily surrender and service.

In this week's message, Pastor Amber Haugen reminds us that Jesus isn't just our Savior—He's our Partner. Exploring the healing of the blind man in Mark 8, Amber highlights how Jesus invites us to join Him in the process of healing, understanding, and transformation. Through honest reflection, quiet moments alone with God, and persistent pursuit of clarity, we grow into the partnership He's always intended. No matter where you're at, God still desires to walk with you. Not yet? Keep going back—He's not finished.

When life feels uncertain, provision can feel just out of reach. But in Mark 6, Jesus reminds us that He is more than enough—even when all we see is “not enough.” This week, we explore the miracle of feeding the 5,000 and how it speaks to God's heart to meet our needs, strengthen our trust, and deepen our faith. Whether you're in a season of waiting, questioning, or simply needing a reminder—Jesus is our Provider.Use the links below to stay connected.

Does God still heal today? In Mark 5, we see three powerful stories where Jesus brings freedom and restoration. This week, we explore what it means to trust Jesus as our Healer—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether you're praying for a miracle or learning to live with mustard-seed faith, be encouraged: our faith isn't based on what God does, our faith is based on who God is.

We all carry the weight of our past—mistakes, regrets, and sins we hope no one sees. But Jesus does see, and instead of condemnation, He offers forgiveness. In Mark 2, Jesus not only heals a paralyzed man but meets his deepest need first—forgiveness. This week, we explore how Jesus confronts sin, extends grace, and invites us to walk in the freedom only He can give. No matter what's in your past, God's not done writing your story.

As we journey through the Gospel of Mark leading up to Easter, we begin with a fundamental question: Who is Jesus? Mark's Gospel wastes no time declaring that Jesus is the Son of God—the fulfillment of prophecy, the faithful one who stands in our place, and the only way to the Father. In a world full of broken promises, Jesus is proof that God always keeps His word.

The world says turn inward, compromise, conform. God says be strong and courageous. To endure even the greatest of challenges, knowing where our source of strength comes from. We're made for a reality and purpose that far exceeds our wildest dreams. And there's perhaps no better example of this to glean from, than the life of Jeremiah.Pastor Adam shares a message on allowing our convictions to guide us and finding community to surround us. In a culture that thrives on the outward appearance and are more concerned with the show rather than the substance, we put emphasis on the wrong things like distance over direction. Direction is more important than distance and our beliefs are more important than our behavior because behavior is an outgrowth of your beliefs. We also need our communities beside us. We need a team that champions us and encourages us. What needs more of your attention? Your convictions or your community?

We've all done things we regret, and guilt can weigh heavy on our hearts and minds. But imagine what life could be like if you could finally let go of that burden and move forward. With God's help, it's possible! Pastor Adam unpacks the message this week as we continue the series Running with Horses.

Join us as Pastor Adam explores the Book of Jeremiah, focusing on Jeremiah 1, where God calls Jeremiah to a task he feels unqualified for. Despite Jeremiah's many excuses, God responds, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you… Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you.”If we want to Run with the Horses, we must rely more on God and less on ourselves. God doesn't call the qualified—He qualifies the willing. It's not our ability that matters, but our availability. Are you ready to say yes to God?

The world urges us to look inward, compromise, and conform. But God calls us to be strong and courageous, to stand firm through even the greatest challenges, knowing He is our true source of strength. We are created for a purpose far greater than we can imagine. And few lives illustrate this truth more powerfully than that of Jeremiah.

What if you're not as right as you think? And what happens when you're more right than loving? We're breaking it down in this message.Use the links below to stay connected.

Doubt isn't a sign of weak faith—it's an opportunity for growth. God isn't afraid of our questions, and we don't have to be either.In our series, Face-to-Face, we're exploring how God meets us in our doubts, just like He did with Thomas in John 20. Together, we'll see how asking honest questions can lead to deeper trust in God. Join us as we discover how doubt can actually strengthen our faith.

As the New Year kicks off, you might feel the pressure to hit the gym, save more, or boost your performance at work. But what if true transformation didn't start with external goals? What if this year, you focused on the inside—a healthy heart? Join us as Pastor Adam explores how to cultivate a heart that thrives.

Sometimes, it's hard to obey. You know what's right, but in the moment, it can be tough to choose obedience to God. How can you learn to make choices that honor God even when it's hard? In this message, we'll learn how one moment of obedience can change our lives.

Everyone likes to win. It's fun to win a game or a race. But how do you train for life? How do you train to win at things like marriage, health, or your relationship with God?
