Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

Ever had a stain appear on an article of clothing? Maybe you try to wipe it clean. Maybe you try vinegar and baking soda . . . or one of the “revolutionary” new products from the store. Or, you take it to the cleaners . . . but you get it back and it’s still there! Sometimes our lives have stains like that . . . and the embarrassment never goes away. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to a reassuring story in God’s Word. We’ll see the Lord can treat the stains of our lives.

The Bible tells us that believers are ambassadors, or representatives of Christ. Each of us is a walking, talking billboard for the Lord. What does your billboard say? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series Water - Fire - Stone . . . an inspiring look at the life of Moses. And today, we’ll see how Moses actually demonstrated how NOT to behave as one of God’s children. We’ll see what happens when angers gets the best of us. Good insight is coming up.

Sometimes, problems seem to come our way in droves. When it rains, it pours. Ever been at the end of your rope? Someone has said, when you get to the end of yourself, you get to the beginning of God. And the Bible is replete with accounts of God stepping in at the right place, at the right time, for just the right reason. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how God specializes in putting His providence and His faithfulness on display. We’ll see a case in point today.

Pastor Greg Laurie gives us wisdom from Joshua 3–4, where we see the Israelites cross the Jordan River.

Notes:

The Christian life is not a playground but a battleground, and there’s not really a choice of fighting or not fighting; it’s a choice of victory or defeat.

Deuteronomy 6:23

“He brought us out, that He might bring us in.”

The people of Canaan were wicked.

When people repent, God relents!

Read: Joshua 3:4–8

If we want to enter the land of promises, we must be bold and strong!

Joshua 3:4

Habakkuk 3:2

“Lord, I have heard of Your fame; I stand in awe of Your deeds. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath, remember mercy.”

The Three R’s of Revival:

Remember, repent, and repeat.

If you want to live in the land of promises, you must keep your eyes on God.

Joshua 3:4

When we are looking to Jesus, it will change the way we see our circumstances!

If you want to live in the land of promises, you must take risks!

If you are called to lead, you must go first and set the pace.

Joshua 3:7

If you want to be a good leader, first be a good follower.

Joshua and the people of Israel moved in faith!

Faith is like a muscle; it gets stronger through use, but if you don’t use it, it will atrophy!

If you are called to be a leader, then lead!

Romans 12:7–8

Sometimes a step of faith will not necessarily make much sense!

Remember to give thanks with as much passion as you prayed for help!

Read: Joshua 4:21–24

Judges 2:8–10

Children will remember the time you made for them. Children will remember the way you interacted with your spouse. Your kids will remember your words of affirmation and criticism.

To train up means, “to create a thirst in.”

It’s never too late for a new beginning!

When you’re driving clear across the country, you might encounter the Rocky Mountains. A huge mountain range. Pikes Peak alone jets up more than 14,000 feet into the sky. But when you fly over those mountains on an airliner, it kinda looks like the same ground you saw an hour ago but with more . . . texture. So it is with differing perspectives. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us God's reassuring perspective on our "mountain-sized" problems.

The Lord never advises us to approach His throne gingerly, with reluctance and
uncertainty. Even though He’s “God most high,” Hebrews invites us to “come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to the example of Moses, who showed us how to approach the Lord with uncommon courage and confidence. We’ll get some practical insight on taking our prayer lives to the next level.

Mature believers talk to others about God. And they also talk to God about others. Do you regularly pray for others . . . pray for their needs, pray they might come to the Lord or come closer to the Lord? Our mission statement here at A NEW BEGINNING is Knowing Him and Making Him Known. And intercessory prayer is a vital instrument in that pursuit. So today, Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series on the life of Moses uncovering the leader’s faithful ministry of intercessory prayer.
