Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

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.

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. 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  --- A New Beginning is the daily half-hour program hosted by Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Southern California.

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 The Holy Spirit has come to bring us to Jesus. The Holy Spirit seals us. The Holy Spirit assures us that we are children of God. The Holy Spirit teaches us. The Holy Spirit helps us to pray. The Holy Spirit leads us. 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.

The average life expectancy in the United States is about 78 years. What’s life expectancy in heaven? Forever. Not sure what the fraction is of our life here compared to our life there, but it’s clear we spend the larger amount of time thinking about the lesser part of our life. Today on A New Beginning, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series on Bible prophecy in Revelation, we’ll consider what life is like on the other side, and how the Rapture may take us there.     This year we are excited to bring back our SoCal Harvest.
