Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

God parted the waters of the Red Sea, He caused time to stand still, He caused time to go backwards! He protected Daniel in the Lion’s Den, and the three Hebrew teens in the fiery furnace. Jesus fed multitudes with table scraps, healed the sick, raised the dead, and conquered the grave. And don’t forget all of Creation! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how powerful God is, and how your gigantic problem is no match for an omnipotent God.

If you’re on a long road trip, you’ve got to map out your course. If you don’t know where you’re going, how do you know when you get there!? As we travel the road of life, serving the Lord, heaven-bound, we need to make sure we’re on course. If we ignore the direction of Scripture, we may discover we’re on the broad road that leads to destruction. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us recalibrate what we know, and what we do with what we know. Glad you’re along!

Life can be like tending a garden. What we water grows. If we spend all our time feeding worry, pleasure, and listening to the voice of our adversary, we shouldn’t be surprised when weeds take over. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus our attention carefully. The voices we listen to are like seeds. Some bring peace, others just bring pests. At some point, we’ve gotta ask: are we planting the right crop, or just giving the weeds a comfy home?

Even when your faith feels fragile, you don’t have to sink. When we look to Jesus rather than our feelings, we can be held steady—whether through loss, personal failure, or other sufferings where faith just seems impossible to hold on to. Notes: Focus verse - 1 John 1 #1 Faith can be shaken, but you don’t have to sink. Faith can be shaken and feel fragile by painful events. God did not give up on Elijah, Jonah, David, or Peter.And He’s not giving up on you either. #2 1 John was written to give assurance to believers. “I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,so that you may know you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13 (NLT) We need truth. We need the word of God. We’ll never be unshakable if we’re not rooted in God’s unchanging truth. Bible promises:God began a good work in you He will complete it.God is the author and finisher of our faith.Salvation is God’s work from beginning to end. #1 God is light.1 John 1:1–2:2 #2 God is love.1 John 2:2:3–4:21 #3 God is life.1 John 5 Read 1 John 1:1–4 John said that for three years they gazed, they stared, and they beheld Jesus. #3 To have unshakable faith, you need to look to Jesus. Jesus will sustain you and be with you.  #4 When you look to Jesus, your life will be filled with joy. Sin promises joy—but it produces sorrow. #3 When you find something wonderful, you want to share it. The best kind of witness is the overflow of a Christ-filled life. #4 The obstacle to joy is unconfessed sin. Read 1 John 1:5–7 Real faith is proven by obedience. “Against You, You only, have I sinned,And done this evil in Your sight.” Psalm 51:4 (NKJV) If you fall into sin, you have no one to blame but yourself.James 1:14–15 There is always a way out of temptation. God’s light does not expose you to shame you. It exposes you to heal you. #5 The way to be forgiven of your sin is to confess it.1 John 1:8–10 Confession is saying, “God, You’re right and I’m wrong.”  “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 8:12 (NKJV) You’ll find that His mercy is greater than your mess.His grace is deeper than your guilt. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Do you ever sit in your car with the engine running but haven’t yet put it in drive? You can pray for direction all day, but at some point, you’ve got to step on the gas.

As Christians, seeing someone make a profession of faith is one of the best things we can experience. But today, Pastor Greg Laurie forces us to stop and think: when is the last time it was me inviting someone to take that step? And he reveals that not sharing your faith can actually be a sin.  The Great Commission is for every follower of Christ. Get the encouragement and insight you need to embrace God's calling. Notes: Focus verse - Matthew 28 God has called every believer to preach the gospel and make disciples. "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”Mark 16:15 (NLT) Read Matthew 28:18–20 #1 Jesus gave a command. #2 These words are for every follower of Jesus Christ. #3 God will give us the power and boldness to fulfill the Great Commission. To “go and make disciples” means to lead others to Christ. #4 To not share your faith can be a sin. A sin of omission is not doing what you should do.James 4:17 The fate that awaits the nonbeliever is worse than a housefire.It’s eternal fire. Go into all of your world and share the gospel. FRAN-gelismFriends, Relatives, Associates, Neighbors #5 Christ has the answer to emptiness, loneliness, guilt, and the fear of death. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”John 3:16 (NKJV) No matter who we are, we all have sinned.Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:8  Christ died on the cross for us, so we don’t have to face hell.Romans 5:6–8  #7 We are not just called to preach the gospel, but to make disciples also.Matthew 28:18–20 God’s truth is meant to be shared, not hoarded. “He [Jesus] is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.”Colossians 1:28 (NIV) Bring a nonbeliever or new believer to church with you. The Christian life is a race. "Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.”Acts 13:36 (NIV) --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Remember Smokey the Bear? His correct name is Smokey Bear, a fictional spokesperson for the U.S. Forest Service.

Many drivers have been in that unenviable position of losing traction in their car . . . in the snow, on ice, on a muddy road, in the sand.

As Christians, we do not have to fear death—because Jesus Christ defeated it. Easter was the death of death; it died when Christ rose! This Easter, hear Jesus as He says, “Don’t be afraid.” Notes: Focus verse - Matthew 28 #1 The world is full of fear. We live in a scary, frightening world.It’s an age of anxiety and global fears. There are personal fears too. Everyone has a fear of death. #2 Because Jesus rose from the dead, we no longer need to live in fear. Psalm 90:9 #3 The resurrection of Jesus replaces fear with faith. Read Matthew 28:1–10 The disciples were filled with fear and uncertainty after the crucifixion of Christ. Jesus came with the express purpose of dying on the cross and rising from the dead. Jesus is concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. Jesus told His disciples He would suffer and die and then He would rise again.  Death does not have the last word—Easter does. Death died when Christ rose.Easter is the death of death. A Christian will never die spiritually. Jesus said, “You must be born again.”John 3:7 (NLT) God’s plans are better than yours. Turn your panic into prayer,your worry into worship,and your fear into faith. "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." So He said, "Come."Matthew 14:28–29 (NKJV) Faith gives way to fear. Trust gives way to worry. Peter sank because he was afraid and took his eyes off Jesus. When we are sinking, we need to call out to Jesus.Matthew 14:30 Death does not have the final word—Jesus does. A new day can dawn for you today: #1 Realize that you are a sinner. #2 Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sin. #3 Repent of your sin. #4 Receive Jesus Christ into your life. #5 Do it now. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Jesus is calling us to put our sinful nature to death and be raised to new life—not just once, but daily. In this message, we look at someone who embraced this truth: Saul of Tarsus. Notes: Focus verses - Acts 7–9 Being friends with your kids is a reward you receive after being a good parent.It is biblical to think about death.James 4:14 (ESV)Psalm 90:12 (NKJV) Christopher Laurie pointed others to Jesus.  Jesus wants us to put our sinful nature to death and raise us to new life, daily. Read Acts 7:57–8:4 (NKJV) #1 A Man of Death Saul cast his vote; he oversaw and led the stoning of Stephen. Acts 26:11 (NKJV) Saul was a man of death. Saul was sincere. Yet he was sincerely wrong. Saul depended on his own righteousness, and not on the righteousness of God. Jesus saw a future apostle, a bold witness; Jesus saw Paul.1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV)  Nobody is beyond the reach of God. Saul was a man of death, but Jesus was calling him to put that life to deathso that he might truly live. #2 A Man Who Had to DieActs 9:1–5 (NKJV) Jesus didn’t just reform Saul, He replaced him.Saul became Paul. Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good.He came to make dead people live. Philippians 3:8–11 (MSG)  #3 A Man Who Died DailyRomans 8:13–18 (NKJV) “I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.”1 Corinthians 15:31 (NKJV) The Christian life is a daily burial of the old self. Jesus came to make you new. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

For many kids, as the days count down to the end of a school year, there’s excitement. . . no more homework, no more tests! I think Alice Cooper sang about that. But those final hours of the school year can go by so S-L-O-W-L-Y. A lot of us feel that way about the return of Christ. We’re excited to see our Savior, but we’ve been waiting a long time. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the reasonsfor the wait, and shows us what God would have us do with our extra time.

Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, yet he chose to placate the people rather than release Him. But the courage he lacked, you can show today. Notes: Focus verses - John 18, 19 By definition, a coward is someone who lacks the courage to face difficult or painful things. Pontius Pilate saw an angry crowd that threatened his position.He was more afraid of the consequences than he was of God. #1 The Prefect Meets the PerfectJohn 18:28-38 Jesus, the PERFECT Son of God stands before Pontius Pilate, the Roman appointed PREFECT Governor of Judea.   Prefect Governor means he was a military focused governor. The religious leaders knew exactly what they were doing when they brought Jesus to Pilate. The man known for using power harshly becomes hesitant and weak when confronted by Jesus.  “What is truth?” Jesus was the incarnation of truth. Read verse 37.Jesus came to bring truth. Truth divides. Like Pilate, we all must make a decision regarding Jesus. Neutrality is not an option.  Pilate attempts to appeal to the crowd logically, in an attempt to get Jesus released.  #2 Pilate BlinksJohn 18:39-19:6 Just like Neville Chamberlain blinked in the face of tyranny, Pilate blinks in the face of Truth. He knows Jesus is innocent.But instead of releasing Jesus, he tries to placate the people. Pilate offers the crowd a choice: Jesus or Barabbas. No better picture of the gospel than this right here. The cross Barabbas was to die on was already constructed, the arrangements were made, and he had hours left to live. Barabbas was guilty, but Jesus was innocent. This is what Jesus has done for us.We’ve committed a crime by violating God’s commands, we’re guilty, and the penalty is death. But God made a way for us to be delivered out of death, out of our guilt, and that’s what Jesus ultimately did on the cross. 2 Corinthians 5:21 Jesus took Barabbas’ place on that cross. The crowd chooses Barabbas. Pilate didn’t need any Passover custom to release an innocent man, he just needed to do what was right. When the crowd decided against Jesus, he thought he might have one more trick up his sleeve. He released Barabbas, and scourged Jesus in hopes it'd satisfy the angry crowd. Pilate brought Jesus out one final time.  He thought that if he give the crowd a little bit of what they want they’ll be happy, they’ll change their minds, they’ll reverse course.Pilate blinked. He thought he could use diplomacy and compromise to get himself out of a difficult position. Compromise doesn’t calm the mob, it fuels it. Compromise is part of life.But when it comes to THE Truth, when it comes to Christ, compromise should not be part of the equation.   To compromise on who Jesus is, is to invent another Jesus. Only the real Jesus saves. Pilate’s appeasement of the crowd is not just a political failure—it’s a picture of what happens when leaders, Christians, and even churches try to compromise truth to satisfy the demands of culture. If you play both sides, offering a little truth, softened by a lot of concession and mix in some human empathy, and you end up with the crucifixion. A complete and utter rejection of everything Jesus is and was. We cannot untether EMPATHY from TRUTH. Just because someone feels a certain way does not mean we abandon truth. As Christians we are called to offer COMPASSION not COMPROMISE. Let’s bring this message to a close now. Read John 19:12–16  #3 Pilate judged the Judge.  Pilate crucifies Him.The fear of man outweighed the fear of God.  Jesus threatened to disrupt Pilate’s cushy role, and so he gave in to peer pressure and he judged the Judge. In Revelation 20 at the Great White Throne judgement, the judged will face the Judge. Pilate symbolically washed his hands of Jesus.But you cannot wash yourself of your sins. You either receive Him or reject Him. “You are either for me or against me.” Have you trusted Jesus as Savior and made Him the Lord of your life? The courage that Pilate lacked, you can show today. Jesus said "Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32 NLT) We are just like Barabbas.Guilty and headed for judgement.But Jesus came in, not accidentally, but intentionally and took that punishment we deserved and He died on a cross for our sin. Like those soldiers around Jack Lucas, he dove on those grenades and absorbed their destruction, that’s what Jesus did for us!He absorbed God’s righteous judgement and drank the cup of His wrath that was going to be poured out on us because of our spiritual rebellion against God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harv

Certain things people say can SOUND like they’re true. But they’re not. Before the railroad was invented, it was believed people couldn’t never travel faster than 30 miles an hour because air would rush past them and they wouldn’t be able to breathe.

Ever play the telephone game? You and some others gather in a circle. Someone whispers a message to the first person, who whispers it to the second and so on.When the last person reveals what he heard, it’s obvious that the message got wildly distorted.

No matter who we are, what neighborhood we come from, whether we’re famous, infamous or unknown, we have something someone else wants. We have something someone else needs.

What's the truth about Judas Iscariot? Has he truly been misunderstood all this time? Pastor Greg Laurie makes a biblical case for just how evil Judas actually was. Notes: Focus verse - Matthew 26 Judas Iscariot was perhaps the most paradoxical and wicked man in the Bible. Was Judas Iscariot misunderstood?   Satan put the idea into Judas’s mind to betray Christ.John 13:2 Judas could have resisted that temptation.  Judas initiated the betrayal of Christ.Matthew 26:14–16  Judas was a pretender, an actor, a performer.  Don’t let someone else’s inconsistency keep you away from following the only one who is consistent, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the perfect example. Read Matthew 26:21–24 Even though Jesus knew what Judas was up to, He demonstrated love to Judas to the very end. Read Matthew 26:39–50  Jesus was considering the load of sin He would bear. Jesus cried out "Abba, Father,"Mark 14:36 When worry causes you to choke, cry out to God. Jesus was a model of what to do in times of uncertainty. Jesus demonstrated His divine power and gave a glimpse of His glory when the Roman soldiers came to arrest Him. Jesus was in complete control of everything.He was going to the cross as a Victor, not as a Victim. Judas ignored all the warnings that Jesus gave. The way Judas betrayed Christ was so abhorrent.Matthew 26:49 Judas was a hypocrite. Jesus reached out to Judas with love.Matthew 26:50 Jesus offered Judas one last chance to repent. Read Matthew 27:2–5 Judas did not have a friend in the world except for Jesus whom he just betrayed. Judas was remorseful.Matthew 27:3 God will not violate the will of man.He will affirm us in the decisions we make. But a true child of God will not continue to live in a pattern of sin.1 John 3:9–10 Two men failed Jesus on one night, Judas and Peter. Judas Iscariot turned away and walked into eternal remorse.Simon Peter walked into the open arms of God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

We’ve all been wounded by something someone said to us. And, if we’re candid, we’d probably all admit we’ve said some things that may have hurt someone else.

Many people ask one question when tragedy strikes.

There are “signs of the times” all around, yet we don’t talk about prophecy enough. In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie and Bible prophecy expert, Joel Rosenberg, give some needed insight. Notes: Focuse verses - John 14, Matthew 24 All around us are signs of the times telling us Jesus is coming. Read John 14:1–3 Jesus has prepared a place for us, and He is coming for us. Jesus said, “When you see these things begin to happen, look up!”Luke 21:28 The teaching of the Rapture was given almost 2,000 years ago by Jesus on the Mount of Olives. The disciples asked Jesus,“What will be the sign of your coming?”Matthew 24:3 The signs of the times mentioned in Matthew 24 are to alert us to His coming. Read Matthew 24:3–15 Jesus wants us to understand this and other passages about prophecy.It’s not God’s desire to conceal, but to reveal. #1 The Tribulation period begins with the emergence of Antichrist.Matthew 24:5 Christians will not be present for the Great Tribulation. The Church is the restraining force in the world today. #2 The Tribulation period ends with the return of Jesus Christ to the earth.Matthew 24:30 The emergence of Antichrist is close, but the coming of Christ for His Church is even closer.  Read Matthew 24:36–44 Jesus is talking about the Rapture, not the Second Coming. There are differences between the Rapture and the Second Coming. At the Rapture, Jesus comes for His people.At the Second Coming, He returns with His people. The Rapture is before the Tribulation.The Second Coming is at the end of it. #3 What is the Rapture? Rapture is the English translation of Harpazo which was translated as Raptus in the Latin translation. It means to take forcibly, to snatch, or to be caught up. #4 Why is there a Rapture? 1 Thessalonians 4:13    Christians do not grieve hopelessly but hopefully. Jesus said, “And behold, I am coming quickly,”Revelation 22:12 (NKJV) When Jesus comes again, it will be fast and without warning. The return of Jesus is imminent. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Once upon a time, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was a beloved fairy tale about kindness, virtue, and beauty. Now? Well, it seems Snow White has gone on a journey—not through the forest—but straight into the wilderness of wokeness.Has Disney completely lost the plot? Can they find their way back to the vision of Walt Disney himself—a man who once said, "In these days of world tensions, when the faith of men is being tested as never before, I am personally thankful that my parents taught me at a very early age to have a strong personal belief and reliance in the power of prayer for Divine inspiration."

It frankly would be hard to list all the things Jesus has done for us. The top of the list would be that He loved us enough to die for us. So here’s the question.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the Gospel of John for an important look at a well-known miracle. As we examine this account, we learn a lot about how Jesus wants us to live for Him and speak about Him.
