The Well

It’s important to be vigilant about the kind of people you allow into your life. What kind of fruit does their life produce? Are they really living for the Lord, or are they claiming to live for Him while doing the exact opposite? Pastor Jeff warns you today that one of the easiest ways to allow the enemy access to your life is to allow lukewarm Christians into your life. When you let your guard down, Satan gets the opportunity to work his way into your life and sow lies and false teachings in your heart.

When the disciples saw their Lord crucified on the cross, their hopes and dreams were dashed. But where they saw an ending, God brought a new beginning. In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie explores the defining event of our faith. Find out “What the Resurrection of Jesus Means to You” in this message.

Notes

The cross was Jesus’ goal and destination from the very beginning; and it happened exactly as Jesus had predicted.

The crucifixion and resurrection were God’s well thought out plan.

God takes our endings and turns them into new beginnings.

Read: Mark 16:1–8

“So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy.” —Matthew 28:8

If Jesus were not God, He would have never allowed worship.

Read: John 20:11–17

Jesus made many post-resurrection appearances. 

1. The resurrection of Jesus assures me that I am accepted by God. 

There is no forgiveness from balancing records, but from canceling them.

2. The resurrection of Jesus assures me that I have all the power I need to live the Christian life.

3. The resurrection of Jesus assures me that I too will live forever in Heaven.

The tomb is not an entrance to death, but to life!

The moment we take our last breath on Earth, we take our first breath in Heaven.

4. The resurrection of Jesus assures me that I will receive a new body just like His.

You will still be you in Heaven.

5. Because of Jesus’ resurrection, we will have resurrected relationships.

Because Jesus died and rose there are many blessings that have come.

6. Because Jesus died and rose from the dead, we need to tell others. 

The Great Commission  

These words are a command.

These words were not directed merely to the original twelve disciples.

 They are for every follower and disciple of Jesus Christ.

Thirty years ago, I was a hardened cop who drew chalk lines around dead bodies and went to eat lunch without caring. But when I stepped into the light of God's love, everything changed. God's x-ray machine isn't condemnation—it's love. He wants to take what doesn't belong in your life and replace it with things you can't even dream of having. 

If you ever feel useless, one of the best things you can do is recognize that God has placed you in your current situation for a reason. He doesn’t make mistakes, and His plans for your life are going to look a lot different than the plans you may have for yourself. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the world will try to make you feel unimportant and insignificant. But if you quiet your mind and listen to the Holy Spirit’s voice, you will become aware of the peace you feel in the center of God’s will.

Crime shows are extremely popular today—especially “true crime,” where investigators solve real-life crime stories and cold cases. On this historical episode, Pastor Greg Laurie interviews J. Warner Wallace, a retired cold-case detective who now investigates the claims of Jesus Christ.

In this special interview, Jim Wallace takes on a bold question: “If we didn’t have the New Testament account of Jesus, could we still prove His deity?” Listen in for an enlightening conversation.
