Keep the Faith with Pastor Adam Burton of Central Baptist Church

Genesis 4 moves us out of the perfect garden and into a reality that looks exactly like our own world today. It is a world filled with family arguments, technological leaps, and the crushing pressure to achieve.

In this message from the "Foundations" series, Pastor Adam Burton explores the story of Cain and Abel to reveal the two paths of humanity. You are either walking the way of Cain by trying to earn your place, or you are in the line of Seth by calling on the name of the Lord. Discover why willpower cannot break the chains of sin and how to trade your "resume virtues" for true legacy.

We often picture the Fall as a simple fable, complete with a talking serpent and forbidden fruit. Yet Genesis 3 unfolds more like a war room, where the Creator storms the battlefield to confront a full-scale rebellion.

In this message from the "Foundations" series, Pastor Adam Burton delves into Genesis 3:8-24. Journey with us from the shattering of relationship to the First Gospel's bold Declaration of War. Uncover how the struggles in your marriage, the frustrations in your work, and the restlessness in your heart are all echoes of a cosmic battle already won by the woman's promised Seed.

Monday morning often feels less like a garden and more like a construction site. We feel a deep dissonance because something in the foundation of the world has fractured.

We trace the first deception, the decision to turn off God's "fences," and the exhaustion of trying to cover our own shame. Discover why the fig leaves we sew together can never truly cover us, and how God offers a better solution.

The U.S. Supreme Court is currently deciding a landmark Title IX case that hinges on a simple question: Does the word "sex" refer to biological reality or gender identity? During oral arguments, even leading legal experts struggled to define what a "man" or a "woman" actually is.

In this message from the "Foundations" series, Pastor Adam Burton opens Genesis 1:26-31 to uncover the true source of our identity. We discover that we are not "breakdancers" performing solo, but partners invited into a "waltz." Learn why your body is a gift, not a canvas, and how to treat yourself like a gardener rather than a sculptor.

The culture tells us to "follow our hearts" and define our own truth. But what happens when our feelings contradict reality?

In this message from the "Foundations" series, Pastor Adam Burton walks through Genesis 1:3-25 to show how God brings order out of chaos. We look at the "Fence" (boundaries), the "Design" (purpose), and the "Logic" (God's Word) that structure our world. Discover why trusting the Architect's design is safer than following your own desires.
