A New Beginning with Greg Laurie

It’s an understatement to say heaven is a place where we all want to go.

We’re looking at the moment when heaven comes to earth. Every kind of separation becomes a thing of the past. No political separation. No racial separation. No spiritual separation.

Pastor Greg Laurie explains.Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A day of reckoning is coming. Pastor Greg Laurie says the road to hell is paved with excuses. He asks ’who will face The Great White Throne Judgement, when sinners who died without Christ face their consequences?’ Every person on earth will meet Jesus Christ, either as Saviour or judge. World leaders, movie stars, billionaires, unknown people, everyone, will stand before God... It’s a sobering look at what we all must avoid at all costs.Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our world is a mess. What’s right and wrong are up for grabs. Pastor Greg Laurie points out where we can find help, not in technology, psychology or ecology, but in theology without apology...

It’s an encouraging study about the future. Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some try to find fulfillment in a Babylon-type religion ? a worldview that leaves God out. Pastor Greg Laurie says God is our only hope because there’s coming a day when the Lord’s going to say, 'The party’s over!'Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Babylon represents an evil empire governed by the Antichrist. As Pastor Greg Laurie points out, many will embrace that worldview during the Last Days. It will look so good on the outside, but so evil on the inside. The Antichrist will be saying, ’Hey, peace and love. It’s all good. Let’s work together.’ And then he will show his true colours.Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastor Greg Laurie addresses the difference between Christianity and other religions of the world. He says religion can be summed up in one word: do! Do this and you’ll reach nirvana. Do that and you may get to heaven one day... But Christianity could be summed up in the one word: done! I don’t have to do a bunch of stuff to reach God because it’s done! When Jesus died on the cross, He said, 'It is finished!’Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the more interesting things about Bible prophecy is not who it mentions, but also who it does NOT mention in the Last Days scenario. Ps Greg Laurie points out there’s a certain nation conspicuous by its absence in the pages of prophecy.

Sometimes we’ll face hostility because of our faith. But we need to check ourselves and make sure it IS because of our faith.

Pastor Greg Laurie reveals why sometimes people are reluctant to accept Jesus’ free gift of salvation. He says sometimes people feel if they follow Jesus, they’ll be giving up their dreams and live a miserable life. But Jesus said, ’if you lose your life for my sake, you’ll find it.’ God’s plans are better than our plans for ourselves. And we’ll see how much He loves us as those plans unfold.Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maybe you didn’t plan on falling, but you fell. And you’re wondering, can I get up again?

It’s so easy to underestimate our vulnerability to the lure of temptation. The Bible says, ’Pride goes before a fall, and an arrogant spirit before destruction.’ When we think I’ll never do that, we’re trusting in ourselves instead of trusting in God.Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Someone has said you always know when the Devil’s lying: his lips are moving. Pastor Greg Laurie urges us not to buy the lie. He says, 'The Devil will whisper in our ear, ’God doesn’t love you.’ That’s a lie. Sometimes we’ll hear, ’Go ahead and do this thing’. He’ll say, ’It’ll be fun!’ And he’ll whisper into our ears these things that are not true. And the only way to know the lie from the truth is to have a good, working knowledge of the Bible.'Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastor Greg Laurie points out from Revelation how The Great Tribulation will change nearly everything about life here on planet earth.

The Antichrist will exercise unprecedented control over the population, even religion will be dictated. The Antichrist’s religion will be a mixture of many beliefs intertwined with occultism.
