Upstream and Down the Road // Legacy pt. 4 // Pastor Adam Haugen

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 became the Temple’s foundation centuries later, and the legacy of Glad Tidings itself, we see how obedience today can shape worship and transformation for generations to come.If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s timing, questioned His silence, or wondered if your faith really matters, this message will encourage you: while you’re waiting, God is working—upstream in ways you cannot see, and down the road in ways you cannot yet imagine.

We All Need a Joshua // Legacy pt. 3 // Pastor Adam Haugen

Legacy isn’t just about what we receive—it’s about who we invest in.

Live Beyond Yourself | Legacy pt 1 | Pastor Adam Haugen

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
