Christmas, B.C. | Jesus Before Christmas
Help us share the gospel in 2024! Some may make the assumption that Jesus was “behind the scenes” in the heavenlies right up until the moment He made His first appearance in the stable in Bethlehem. Some would even say the Son didn’t even EXIST until that moment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie sets the record straight. We’ll see how the Son is coeternal with the Father, and even makes several appearances in Scripture before that first Christmas. We’ll see for ourselves. Revealing insight is coming our way today.

Christmas, B.C. | A Closer Look at Genesis
Help us share the gospel in 2024! Some may think that everyone celebrates Christmas just like we do here in the United States. Wintertime scenes of sleighs and snow-covered Christmas trees.

Heaven’s Light Breaking | Sunday Message
Help us share the gospel in 2024! Do you ever wonder, “God where are you!?” Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how God is always at work—even if it’s behind the scenes. We’ll also see what more we can learn from Zechariah, Elizabeth, and John the Baptist. Notes: Luke 1 Malachi 4:2 We live by time; God lives outside of time. God recognizes human time, but He is not bound by it. God sees the big picture, but we see the small picture. God has His timing and makes everything beautiful in His time. Ecclesiastes 3:11 No one wants your loved ones to come to Jesus more than Jesus does! God was not only promising the Messiah, He also spoke of a forerunner. Malachi 3:1 The forerunner would be known as John the Baptist. From Genesis to Revelation, we have one complete Revelation of God. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, He is the same. Jonah 4:2 Read: Luke 1:11–17 Continually bring your burdens to the Lord in prayer! Zechariah means, “God remembers.” Elizabeth means, “My God is an oath.” God remembers us and keeps His promises! Philippians 1:6 Zechariah was a humble man. “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6 God is still looking for humble people to use for His glory. 2 Chronicles 16:9 We represent God to a lost world, and we intercede for those in need to God in prayer. 1 Peter 2:9 Zechariah was a faithful man. God often speaks to His people when they are busy doing their daily tasks. Zechariah and Elizabeth were Godly and blameless people. Luke 1:6 Blameless does not mean they were sinless; it means they obeyed God. God was preparing them both for this day, and now the reward for their faithfulness has come! Luke 1:13 His prayer on earth was heard in Heaven! God promises that if we, as His people, call out to Him, He will hear and answer! Psalm 34:15 God urges us to call out to Him! Jeremiah 33:3 God’s delays are not necessarily His denials. God hears and stores our prayers. Not one is wasted. Every prayer is answered: Yes, no, and wait. Zechariah was human and flawed just like us! Luke 1:18–19 Read: Luke 1:21–22 John was the direct forerunner of the Messiah! His job was to clear the way, prepare the way, and get out of the way. Be humble, wait on the Lord, and serve Him where you are. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
