Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

Some professions have specialty clothing . . . and it saves lives. Firefighters have “turnout pants and jackets” to protect against heat. Police officers wear kevlar vests. Soldiers have vests, helmets, and boots. As we’ll learn today, Christian soldiers have specialty clothing as well. But too many of us don’t know much about it. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us get to know our six pieces of spiritual armor, and how we can use them in spiritual battle.

The old evangelist Billy Sunday said, “Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.” How many of us have our fingerprints on the doorknob, and wonder why we fell to the devil’s lures? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us good insight on the spiritual environment we’re living in. It’s a look at the spiritual battle being waged all around us, whether we realize it or not . . . and how we’re all combatants in the fight.

Ever been the target of a scam? Many of us have—some without even realizing it. None of the scammers admit they’re trying to rip you off. They play upon your fear, or your kindness. They find a weakness or a vulnerability. Satan is like that, only he’s been practicing a lot longer. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie warns us about his tactics and strategies. We’re each in his crosshairs, but as believers we’re under the protection of The Cross.

Angels, unfortunately, suffer from a good deal of bad press. Fake news. Inaccurate reporting. They’re not plump little babies sitting on clouds playing harps. They don’t have two wings and a glowing halo. And not all angels are the good guys. What’s the truth about these heavenly beings? Pastor Greg Laurie has the answer today on A NEW BEGINNING from the only reliable source, a book inspired by God, the creator of angels. . . the Bible.

We can have a steady diet of donuts and burgers and then blame the giant carbohydrate conglomerates for our weight gain. We can speed and blame the cop for our traffic ticket. But at some point, we all need to take personal responsibility for our choices. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out no one goes to Hell by accident. God gives opportunity after opportunity to choose the path that leads to Heaven. Today, we’ll examine the clear choice where we spend eternity.

There are things we don’t like to talk about in polite company. Politics, of course. How about embarrassing moments, a troubled past, those times we didn’t tell the truth, the date that went very badly. Near the top of the list would have to be death and the existence of Hell. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that our knowledge of Hell may be dangerously limited . . . or worse yet, influenced by all the things we’ve heard in books or on TV or movies. We’ll get the truth today.

They say, in any major city these days, there are cameras watching you . . . as you walk, as you drive. Security cameras in front of a market, or built into a nearby ATM. Maybe a webcam on the top of a building or someone’s video door bell. What about our friends and loved ones in Heaven? Are they watching what’s going on here on Earth? Pastor Greg Laurie address that question and several others today on A NEW BEGINNING as he presents a glimpse of life inside our eternal home.

In this special message, Cathe Laurie joins Pastor Greg to speak to women on being godly wives. Let’s set what culture says aside and instead turn to God’s Word for biblical insight on marriage. It’s a message you won’t want to miss!

Notes

If we want a marriage and family that succeeds, we must do it as God tell us to!

H. O. P. E

Holding On with Patient Expectation.

“Victory is not won by evacuation.” —Winston Churchill 

1. Be the best version of yourself that you can be.

Proverbs 31 speaks of a balanced woman strong in every way.

The Bible reminds us to not focus on outward appearance alone.

The Godly woman focuses primarily on the internal but does not forget the external. 

The word adornment is “cosmos” in Greek.

Note: The Bible does not forbid women to look attractive.

Paul gives a balanced view of a balanced believer.

The godly woman is known for her wisdom as well as her beauty.

2. Respect your man. 

For a wife to win her husband requires her to respect him.

“When a husband feels disrespected, it is especially hard to love his wife. When a wife feels unloved, it is especially hard to respect her husband.” —Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

God is not calling on wives to feel respect; He is commanding them to show respectful behavior.

Let your beauty be primarily inward, but don’t forget the outward.

Respect and honor your husband. 

Focus on actions over words to influence your husband.

A man needs to listen to what his wife has to say.

A woman needs to avoid the temptation to nag.

T. – True

H. – Helpful

I. – Inspiring

N. – Necessary

K. – Kind 

Often in communication, we are speaking from different perspectives.

3. Submit to the leadership of your husband. 

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28

The husband has the God-given responsibility to provide, protect, and lead just as the Lord does for the church!

“But Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” —Acts 5:29
