Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

The Devil certainly has a foothold in our culture today. But that’s nothing like his reign of terror during the Great Tribulation. Now’s the time to introduce our loved ones to Christ.

And Pastor Greg Laurie will help with that on October 3 at SoCal Harvest. Although it’s a live event from Angel Stadium in Southern California, you can be involved from anywhere by inviting your loved one to watch at harvest.org. And today on A New Beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie brings more eye-opening insights on prophecy.

 As “connected” as we are through technology, we still experience loneliness and a need to belong. And there’s a lot we can learn from a biblical concept called koinonia. In this Sunday morning episode, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us, “We need God, and we need each other.” Discover why in the newest message in Pastor Greg’s series, The Upside Down Life.

Notes

We need God, and we need each other.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” —Proverbs 27:17

The church is a place to find relationships, encouragement, and perspective. 

1. They were a learning church.

It’s not only strong preaching we need, but also strong listening. 

2. They were a loving church. 

The Lord likes it when we talk about Him to other people. 

The Lord listened and heard means “to prick the ear,” “to bend down,” “to not miss a single word.”

The stronger your vertical fellowship is the stronger your horizontal fellowship will be.

The first century church looked out for each other.

You have been blessed to be a blessing to others.

The early church met house to house.

3. They were a worshiping church.

From Genesis to Revelation, our faith is one of worship.

There are times we don’t feel like worshipping.

If a nonbeliever were to watch your everyday life, would they want to know more about Jesus or less? 

When we come to God in prayer and worship, we see things correctly.

“The sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which the child of God rests his head at night, giving perfect peace.” —Charles Spurgeon

4. They were an evangelistic church.

You are loved by God.

In this episode from our archives, Pastor Greg Laurie relates the story of the conversion of movie star Steve McQueen. He was known as the “king of cool,” but McQueen eventually came into a personal relationship with the King of kings.

This story, originally told by Pastor Greg at SoCal Harvest 2016, became the basis for a book and a film—all relating the life of Steve McQueen and his faith.

In the hereafter, is there something of a heavenly grandstand where our departed loved ones can watch the events of our lives? Or are heaven’s citizens sequestered and blissfully unaware of our struggles? It’s an interesting question, and today Pastor Greg Laurie finds insight in God’s Word. Glad you’re along for A New Beginning and our continuing series in Revelation. And later on, some details about a new book Pastor Greg has just released that takes these Revelation insights further.

 

 

This year we are excited to bring back our SoCal Harvest. Why do large-scale, evangelistic crusades still matter after all these years? It’s pretty simple: in a time of division, disharmony, social unrest, and fractional politics, we, now more than ever, need to be together—physically, mentally, emotionally, and yes, spiritually. We need the presence of God in our lives, the only one with a plan, a road map for all of us, RSVP today: harvest.org/socal

The Bible warns against false prophets – it calls them wolves in sheep’s clothing. But a false Messiah? The warnings are even more ominous. And today on A New Beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us consider the rise of the Antichrist – the one who comes in place of Christ. It reinforces the need to make sure our friends and loved ones know the Lord. If they don’t, be sure to tell them about SoCal Harvest coming October 3rd, where Pastor Greg will present the Gospel. Get details at harvest.org.

Believers don’t have to worry about God’s End Times plan. We’re in His care. Unbelievers have much more to be concerned about.

SoCal Harvest at Angel Stadium, and live across the country online at harvest.org. But today, on A New Beginning Pastor Greg brings important insight from his compelling series on the Last Days based in the book of Revelation.

It’s interesting that some people find Revelation a challenge to understand. The symbolism is so rich and unusual. But at the same time, some wonder if it’s going to be a boring existence. Well, if it’s such a spectacle that it’s a challenge to explain, how could it be boring? Today on A New Beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the final book in the New Testament, and one of the most descriptive discussions of what we’ll see and what we’ll do when we enter eternity.

If you want to visit Europe, there’s a lot of information online. If you want to tour the Brazilian rainforest, you can find books, and videos, and even personal travel guides.

Today on A New Beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us dig deep into what God tells about heaven in His Word. You’ve joined us for a fascinating study of the book of Revelation – and today we consider what life is like on the other side.

The early church in Acts is a model for us today—particularly in evangelizing the world. In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie looks at the inaugural message of the early church and reveals their secret to success. Listen in and get insight from Acts 2. 

It’s the latest message in our series, The Upside Down Life.

Notes

1. The Holy Spirit has come to bring us to Jesus.
2. The Holy Spirit seals us.
3. The Holy Spirit assures us that we are children of God.
4. The Holy Spirit teaches us.
5. The Holy Spirit helps us to pray.
6. The Holy Spirit leads us.
7. The Holy Spirit wants to empower us and fill us again and again. 

Nonbelievers cannot understand the work of the Holy Spirit.

They were unified. 

When the believers were persecuted for preaching the gospel and told to stop, they prayed for even more boldness to do so (Acts 4:31). 

If we can’t say “this is that which is spoken of,” we should not seek it or practice it.

If it’s not in the Word, it’s not of the Lord. 

When sharing your faith, get to know the person you are speaking to. 

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

There is distinct power in the simple message of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

The Holy Spirit will do His part; make sure you do yours.

Our job is to proclaim the gospel. 

B.L.A.S.T

B – Build a Bridge

L – Listen

A – Ask Questions

S – Share Your Testimony

T – Tell Them About Jesus

To get right with God, you call out to Jesus.
