Raising the next generation is not a top-down project. It lives or dies in the middle. From Acts 18, Pastor Adam shows how Aquila and Priscilla quietly took Apollos aside and turned raw zeal into sharp effectiveness. Along the way: Nokia vs. Toyota culture, Jethro's counsel to Moses (Exodus 18), the tragedy of Judges 2, Titus 1 order, and a USS Wisconsin illustration on “recommissioning” veterans to train the new crew. This sermon calls gifted Apolloses to be teachable and seasoned Aquilas/Priscillas to re-engage.Scriptures: Acts 18:24–28; Exodus 18:17–22; Acts 6:3–4; Romans 16:3–4; Judges 2:7–10; Titus 1:5; 1 Kings 12:8; Proverbs 20:5.00:00 Opening humor and setup01:24 Acts 18 and the Nokia vs. Toyota lesson05:16 Aquila & Priscilla take Apollos aside09:12 The role of middle management in ministry13:01 Obstacles: pride in Apollos, comfort in elders20:40 Judges 2 and the generational gap25:02 Teachability and drawing out counsel31:10 Wise correction and practical involvement34:46 USS Wisconsin illustration: recommission the veterans37:07 Testimony of Gus Carrillo & closing callShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Join us this Sunday with a message live from the launch of VIVE West London! Pastor Adam brings a powerful word from Romans 12, reminding us that it's time to make up our minds. God is either in control or He's not. He's either on the throne or He's not. Let's choose to trust Him completely and live with the confidence that comes from His rule.
Welcome to part 2 of Progressive Christianity with Pastor Adam. In this episode, we explore the doctrine of God by learning about a progressive Christian understanding of the Trinity. God is love. God relates to God's Self in love and relates to the world in love.
In this episode of The Follow Up, Pastor Adam and Pastor Ryan kick off our new series in the Gospel of John: That You May Believe. We dig into John 1:1–18, unpacking the identity of Jesus as both fully God and fully man, the Word made flesh, and the light that shines in the darkness.We talk about: • Why John's opening verses matter for our faith today • The divinity and humanity of Jesus and why both are essential • How Jesus reveals who God really is • What it means that He is the light in the darkness, especially in heavy times • How believers can respond with both truth and loveWhether you're new to the Bible or have studied it for years, this conversation will help you see Jesus more clearly and grow deeper in your walk with Him.
This past Sunday, Pastor Adam challenged us to dive deeper into the ocean of God's grace and love. The central theme revolves around the gospel as our foundation and framework for faithful living. We're reminded that the gospel isn't just our entry point into Christianity—it is Christianity. The book of Romans, particularly chapters 1:8-17, serves as the scriptural backbone, emphasizing that we shouldn't be ashamed of the gospel because it's the power of God for salvation. This message encourages us to move beyond surface-level faith, likened to 'professional snorkeling,' and instead plunge into the depths of God's grace. We're called to build our lives on the gospel, allowing it to permeate every aspect of our existence. Let's consider how we can live unashamed of the gospel, strengthening each other's faith, and eagerly sharing the good news with others.

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, we discover that leaving a spiritual legacy begins with recognizing God's rescue, stepping into His call to serve others, and submitting to His plan for our lives.Instead of chasing temporary happiness, learn how to live a story worth telling—one marked by faith, obedience, and impact that extends beyond yourself and points others to Jesus.Our Website: https://gladtidings.org/leanderConnect with us: https://gladtidings.org/connectRequest Prayer: https://gladtidings.org/prayerGive Online: https://gladtidings.org/give
