Greg Laurie Podcast

We could call the sun a source of warmth – but that misses the enormity. We could call a nuclear explosion a big flash of light – but that says nothing of the phenomenal power. So many times, people miss the enormity of who Jesus is? He walked among us, but He created the universe. He died, but He rose again. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us sense the full scope of who Jesus is. It’s a part of the series called, “Timeless.” Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org A New Beginning is the daily half-hour program hosted by Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Southern California.

There are some ways to tell if you’re really walking right with Jesus—John lays it out for each of us. But even if you aren’t, we’ll see how to handle that as well. Listen in and get your spiritual checkup now. Notes: Focus verse - 1 John 2 Read 1 John 2:1–6 #1 How’s Your Walk?1 John 2:1–6 Sin is serious, but Jesus is our Advocate. It’s not if you sin—it’s when.The question is, “How will you respond?” Read 1 John 2:3–4 Are you walking toward Jesus? Are you alongside Him?Or are you name dropping as you walk the other way? Propitiation: the means by which sins are forgiven. Read 1 John 2:7–11 #2 How’s Your Heart?1 John 2:7–11 Sometimes it’s easier to love a God you can’t see than it is to love the person next to you. Anyone who claims to live in God’s light and hates a brother or sister is still in the dark.1 John 2:9 (MSG) Redemption means giving the love you never received, because God gave it to you first.  The compassion Christ showed you is the same compassion you’re called to show them.  If your heart is constantly cold toward others, if your instinct is to isolate, criticize, or cut people off, or if you cling to your grudge like an emotional support animal, maybe it's not them—it's you.  Read 1 John 2:12–17 #3 What’s Got Your Heart?1 John 2:12–17 Your spiritual health is not a matter of perfection, but direction. Jesus isn’t saying that having wealth is the problem.He’s saying being owned by it is.  There’s nothing wrong with having possessions, as long as your possessions do not possess you. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.1 John 2:17 (NKJV)--- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
