Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

Pastor Greg Laurie wraps up our end times series with a look at a modern day miracle and fulfillment of Bible prophecy: the nation Israel. He also focuses on how we should be living as believers waiting for the Lord’s return. 

Notes

Israel will be scattered.

Israel will be regathered.

Israel will regain Jerusalem.

Israel will be isolated.

Israel will be attacked.

 

Jerusalem will be the focal point of End Times events.

 

Jerusalem has been and always will be the Capital of Israel.

 

Israel will be an “intoxicating drink,” “a heavy stone,” “and a burden for the world.”

Zechariah 12:2–3

 

Never has a nation been able to maintain its national identity, even 300–500 years after being removed from its homeland … until Israel!

 

Read: Ezekiel 37:1–6

 

Read: Ezekiel 37:11–14

 

Read: Ezekiel 38:1–11

 

America needs Israel more than Israel needs America!

 

God made a promise to Abraham and his descendants in Genesis 12:3: “I will bless them that bless you, and I will curse those that curse you.”

 

The Lord will send a national revival to Israel where they turn to Yeshua.

 

The fact that God will pour out His Spirit on Israel shows that she will have a revival.

 

Romans 11:25

 

God has been pouring out His Spirit on the church, but that time is coming to an end when the last person has come to faith. Then, the Rapture happens.

 

In light of the signs of the times, we will look at a Last Day’s believer, Noah.

 

In this dark time, we need to shine as lights.

 

Scripture says, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.”

 

A world changer is someone who wants to change the culture.

 

A world changer is a follower of Jesus Christ, and they affect their surroundings more than their surroundings affect them.

 

A world changer, like Noah, are thermostats, not thermometers; they control the temperature and set the pace.

 

Noah was commanded to build a giant boat.

Hebrews 11:7

 

Remember: The Ark was built by amateurs; The Titanic was built by professionals.

 

God revealed secrets to Noah.

 

Christians know things the world does not.

 

It seems to be that openhearted Christians know we are in the Last Days.

 

Noah had a great reverence for God.

“Noah moved with Godly fear.”

Hebrews 11:7

 

To fear God does not mean we cower in fear before Him; it means we revere Him.

 

God gave us the rainbow to remind us of His promise!

 

The last page in the Bible states that we win in the end!

 

One of the signs of the times is people will not think these are the Last Days.

2 Peter 3:3

 

Jesus told us our last days would be just like Noah’s time.

Matthew 24:37–44

 

Noah walked with God when no one else did.

Genesis 6:9

 

The prophet, Amos gives us a key as to what it means to walk with God.

“Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?”

Amos 3:3

 

 

Noah was a witness for God.

2 Peter 2:5

 

“By faith, Noah being divinely warned of things not yet seen.”

Hebrews 11:7

 

A world changer will draw their family to Christ; but those changed by the world, drive their family from Christ.

 

Noah has great reverence for God.

Noah walked with God when no one else did.

Noah was a witness for God.

 

Jesus Christ is coming back again!

Smart grocery shoppers pay attention to expiration dates. You may see a dozen cartons of milk on the shelf . . . but a careful look shows that the expiration dates on some cartons are much further into the future. But sometimes we don’t think carefully about the other things of life that may affect us. Those things that bring quick enjoyment, often bring long-lasting disappointment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus on the things above. It’s a study of Moses.

GPS systems have come a long way over the years. They not only can show the best route, but traffic along the way, coffee stores, gas stations and fast food. You know exactly which way to go and how long it’ll take. But you still have to put the car in drive and get moving. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the same is true in our walk with God. After we’ve prayed for direction and strength, it’s time to get moving. It’s harder to steer a parked car.

We love to watch movies where the hero is stuck in an impossible situation with time running out. Will he make it? Can he make it? And he’s rescued just in the nick of time. But when WE’RE stuck in a tough spot, it’s not nearly as enjoyable. No inspiring music – maybe just an icy, lonely silence. And it may look like our time is up. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says don’t give up hope. Instead, realize where your hope comes from.

Nearly all pain relievers on the market use the phrase “for fast, temporary relief.” Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen – they’ll give a little relief, for a little while. But when it comes to forgiveness of our sin, we’re more interest in “immediate, everlasting relief” from our guilt and guile. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the story of the first Passover, we’ll see God provided a solution for sin that forever paid the price that had to be paid.

New believers and non-believers can be baffled by so many references to blood in Scripture: washed in the blood, saved by the blood, the blood of the covenant, the blood of the Lamb. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, some biblical history and context as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the book of Exodus and Moses’ confrontation with the Pharaoh of Egypt . . . a confrontation that culminated one night in the death of all the first-born sons of Egyptians. But the Lord passed over and spared all the Jews.

The stock market has had some tumultuous times in recent years. Trillions of dollars lost in days. But some managed to weather the storm...a few even had a gain. What’s the difference? They knew where to invest. What investments are a sure thing? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we should invest our lives in our relationship with God and His plan. That’s a plan that never devalues, dwindles or depreciates. Today, we’re studying the life of Moses.

Ever gotten into a dialogue with a telemarketer. You refuse his sales pitch, but he always has a rebuttal, a counter argument, a counter offer! Sometimes the best way to deal with him is just to say goodbye. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we can use that same approach with our spiritual adversary. We can’t negotiate with sin, we can’t “come to an understanding” with evil, we can’t compromise with the Devil. Today, some insight from our study of the life of Moses.

Wedding vows are pledges of loyalty and faithfulness to a spouse. You never hear a groom promising to “love, honor and cherish, but I’m still going to date some other girls on the side.” A good relationship is defined by how much we do for the other...not by how much we can get away with just ‘cause we want to. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that same dynamic applies in our spiritual lives...as we cling to the Lord, and resist our spiritual adversary.
