  • Greg Laurie Podcast - Who Is God? | Timeless Truth

    In Oklahoma, it’s reportedly illegal to trip a horse. In Arizona, it’s illegal for a donkey to sleep in a bathtub. In Connecticut, a pickle must be able to bounce. Yeah, those laws are reportedly still on the books. Mankind came up with some doozies. So why do we let the culture dictate what’s right and wrong? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series called “Timeless,” we’ll continue our look at the attributes of our God.

    In this program, Chip tells us the integrity of the Christian message hinges on the resurrection of Jesus. He continues his look, that began in our previous program, at the proofs that Jesus is who He said He is…that He’s God, that He rose from the dead, and is alive today.

                        Some people think the Fall ruined God’s plans. Was it in God’s plan for Eve to pick that fatal fruit from the tree in the Garden of Eden? In this message, Pastor Lutzer shows us three links in God’s interconnected purposes: creation, redemption, and consummation. Let’s unlock the key to God’s redemptive purposes.
