Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

“God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” You can find those reassuring words in 2 Peter 3. And when a culture seems intent on its own destruction, sometimes God’s hand moves in miraculous ways. It’s happened before in the history of our country, and today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says it can happen again. But we play a part in bringing it to pass. Glad you’re along for a fascinating series that launches today. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

No one ever teaches us how to worry. Our parents don’t sit us down and say, “Okay, kids, I want you to put your head in your hands, look really discouraged, and stress out on something you can’t change.” No, we pretty much picked it up on our own. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us lay down that which we’ve picked up. He’ll offer up some practical precepts in a message called What I Would Tell My Younger Self.

Have you noticed how our perspective changes in life? Some of us hated certain vegetables when we were kids. And now? Well, we may still hate those vegetables but that’s not the point! The point is our perspective changes. Right? We eat vegetables ‘cause they’re good for us.

Remember when Goldilocks tasted the three bowls of porridge? One was too hot, the other too cold, and the third was just right. Some apply Goldilocks values to their Christian faith. They don’t want to be too “religious,” or too worldly, they want to be just right. The problem is, as we’ll see today, a lukewarm faith makes the Lord sick. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how to heat up our faith as we consider messages to the seven churches of Revelation.

Ever have guest speakers at your church? What if, one Sunday morning, the surprise speaker was . . . Jesus Himself. He steps to the pulpit, His words are loving, inspirational, insightful. But then He says, “I’m going to speak frankly for just a moment. There’s something on my mind.” Every ear would be listening. Well, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s essentially what the Lord did with seven churches of the First Century. He spoke frankly . . . and we should listen intently.

In this engaging message, Pastor Greg Laurie encourages you to use the life you have for the glory of God.  Notes Life passes quickly. James emphasizes the brevity of the life and the importance of living in God’s will.  Life is short. Live it well.  We should plan for the future but remember to put God’s will first.  A trend in our nation is laziness. “Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.” —Romans 12:11 James is not saying we need to always say, “If the Lord wills.” Rather, it is the idea to remember that God may change or alter our plans. True Christians are characterized as doing the will of God from their heart. Many Christians are afraid of God’s will for their life. Obedience to revealed truth guarantees guidance in matters unrevealed. God wants you to be filled with the Holy Spirit every day. God wants you to be holy and sexually pure. God calls each and every one of us to pray and give thanks. Be patient and wait for the will of God to be shown to you. Never be afraid to e

The book of Revelation contains a series of letters to seven different churches. It’s the Lord’s specific message to each of those bodies of believers—containing both commendation and criticism. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’ll see the Lord would direct those messages to many of today’s believers. It’s one of this past year’s most requested messages, titled The 7 Love Letters of Jesus to His Church. And we’ll pay close attention to the kind of love He’s talking about.

Some believers wish there were a tried and true formula for bringing someone to Christ. Memorize these verses, rehearse these statements. If they ask this, you say that. Well, preparation is good . . . but sometimes people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Holy Spirit is the One who draws people to Christ. We can certainly plant a seed, but we have to allow for the Spirit’s work in their lives. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

In our natural bodies, there are many things inside that keep us alive, although we’ve never seen them. Antibodies, clotting agents, intestinal flora, white blood cells.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the work of God’s Spirit acquaints us with our sin, and acquaints us with our Savior. It’s important we know how to respond.

Few of us buy products to solve problems we don’t have. Why would you buy a flea collar if you don’t have a pet? But there are many people who have a problem they’re not yet aware of. They’re afflicted with the “good enough” syndrome. They’re convinced they’re good enough to get to Heaven. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that the Holy Spirit shows us our sin, shows us its penalty, and shows us our need for a solution. It’s life-saving information.

The Lord created us with a will of our own. In doing so, He knew some people would reject Him, but that was His plan from the beginning. And yet the Holy Spirit calls out to us, drawing us to the Lord. It’s the wise person who heeds that call. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s just one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit. He has a multi-dimensional role in the lives of believers.

In this special Sunday message, Pastor Jonathan Laurie gives a practical message on humility from James 4. Get insight on how to find a life of joy and blessing through submitting to the will of God.  “He who thinks of making no claims shall have all that others claim and by claiming cannot obtain… Only an empty vessel can God fill with His gifts.
