Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

In 1998, Play-Doh was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. We’ve all had Play-Doh. You can mold it into anything you want—squash it, reshape it, and start over as many times as you like. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says no matter how your life has taken shape, God offers you the chance to be remolded and start fresh. No squashing involved. A case in point today from the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Luke.

The internet is full of videos of people walking along looking at their smart phones, and then suddenly falling . . . falling into fountains, falling into swimming pools, tripping over a plethora of obstacles in their path. Seconds before, they might have said, “I got this. I can read my phone while I walk.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that many of us have the same confidence in our spiritual walk. Today, a message of caution: anyone can fall.

Many drivers have been in that unenviable position of losing traction in their car . . . in the snow, on ice, on a muddy road, in the sand.

Pastor Greg Laurie will answer that today here on A NEW BEGINNING as he brings us a practical message called How to Never Stumble or Fall. It’s wise counsel for those of us wrestling with a sin nature.

As Christians, we do not have to fear death—because Jesus Christ defeated it. Easter was the death of death; it died when Christ rose! This Easter, hear Jesus as He says, “Don’t be afraid.” Notes: Focus verse - Matthew 28 #1 The world is full of fear. We live in a scary, frightening world.It’s an age of anxiety and global fears. There are personal fears too. Everyone has a fear of death. #2 Because Jesus rose from the dead, we no longer need to live in fear. Psalm 90:9 #3 The resurrection of Jesus replaces fear with faith. Read Matthew 28:1–10 The disciples were filled with fear and uncertainty after the crucifixion of Christ. Jesus came with the express purpose of dying on the cross and rising from the dead. Jesus is concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. Jesus told His disciples He would suffer and die and then He would rise again.  Death does not have the last word—East

J. Warner Wallace is a former cold-case detective—and curious skeptic—who used his unique skill set to investigate the Bible's claims. He joins Pastor Greg Laurie to help us find answers to questions that grip us, like how can a loving God allow suffering and what do I do with my unanswered questions? He also shares his effective approach to addressing skeptics' questions, encouraging us to think like we're in front of a jury.  By the end of this episode, you'll feel more empowered and equipped, not only to talk about your faith with others, but to work through questions of your own.

If you have ever felt like Heaven was silent, you’re not alone. Even Jesus Himself cried out, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” But here's what we’ll learn this Good Friday as we reflect on Jesus Christ’s ultimate sacrifice: it’s often in the silence that God is doing His greatest work. Notes: Focus verse: Matthew 27:45–54 (NLT) #1 The Cry Met With Silence #2 The Plan Behind the SilenceIsaiah 53:5–7 (NLT) The silence from Heaven wasn’t indifference.The silence from the cross wasn’t weakness.It was fulfillment. #3 The Purpose of the SilenceJohn 19:28–30 (NLT)Support the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Easter is the most important holiday on the Christian calendar. It’s the remembrance of the sacrifice of Christ, and the celebration of a risen Savior. It commemorates the day our eternal life became possible. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie highlights practical truths about the Lord’s Resurrection and the difference it makes for us today. How important is the Resurrection?

We’re all used to seeing before and after pictures. Before the diet, after the diet. Before the haircut, after the haircut. Crinkled up fender, un-crinkled up fender.

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.

Jesus is calling us to put our sinful nature to death and be raised to new life—not just once, but daily. In this message, we look at someone who embraced this truth: Saul of Tarsus. Notes: Focus verses - Acts 7–9 Being friends with your kids is a reward you receive after being a good parent.It is biblical to think about death.James 4:14 (ESV)Psalm 90:12 (NKJV) Christopher Laurie pointed others to Jesus.  Jesus wants us to put our sinful nature to death and raise us to new life, daily. Read Acts 7:57–8:4 (NKJV) #1 A Man of Death Saul cast his vote; he oversaw and led the stoning of Stephen. Acts 26:11 (NKJV) Saul was a man of death. Saul was sincere. Yet he was sincerely wrong. Saul depended on his own righteousness, and not on the righteousness of God. Jesus saw a future apostle, a bold witness; Jesus saw Paul.1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV)  Nobody is beyond the reach of God. Saul was a man of death, but Jesus was calling him to pu

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!

We know prayer is a privilege. We know prayer is powerful. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. But what some don’t realize is that God WANTS us to come to Him. He welcomes our petitions. He listens to our cries. And prayer can make a difference, even if we don’t feel worthy for such an important role. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us insights on prayer straight from the Word of God. It’s good encouragement to be on “speaking terms” with our Heavenly Father.

Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, yet he chose to placate the people rather than release Him. But the courage he lacked, you can show today. Notes: Focus verses - John 18, 19 By definition, a coward is someone who lacks the courage to face difficult or painful things. Pontius Pilate saw an angry crowd that threatened his position.He was more afraid of the consequences than he was of God. #1 The Prefect Meets the PerfectJohn 18:28-38 Jesus, the PERFECT Son of God stands before Pontius Pilate, the Roman appointed PREFECT Governor of Judea.   Prefect Governor means he was a military focused governor. The religious leaders knew exactly what they were doing when they brought Jesus to Pilate. The man known for using power harshly becomes hesitant and weak when confronted by Jesus.  “What is truth?” Jesus was the incarnation of truth. Read verse 37.Jesus came to bring truth. Truth divides. Like Pilate, we all must make a decision regarding Jesus. Neutrality is not
