Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

We can have a steady diet of donuts and burgers and then blame the giant carbohydrate conglomerates for our weight gain. We can speed and blame the cop for our traffic ticket. But at some point, we all need to take personal responsibility for our choices. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out no one goes to Hell by accident. God gives opportunity after opportunity to choose the path that leads to Heaven. Today, we’ll examine the clear choice where we spend eternity.

There are things we don’t like to talk about in polite company. Politics, of course. How about embarrassing moments, a troubled past, those times we didn’t tell the truth, the date that went very badly. Near the top of the list would have to be death and the existence of Hell. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that our knowledge of Hell may be dangerously limited . . . or worse yet, influenced by all the things we’ve heard in books or on TV or movies. We’ll get the truth today. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

They say, in any major city these days, there are cameras watching you . . . as you walk, as you drive. Security cameras in front of a market, or built into a nearby ATM. Maybe a webcam on the top of a building or someone’s video door bell. What about our friends and loved ones in Heaven? Are they watching what’s going on here on Earth? Pastor Greg Laurie address that question and several others today on A NEW BEGINNING as he presents a glimpse of life inside our eternal home.

In this special message, Cathe Laurie joins Pastor Greg to speak to women on being godly wives. Let’s set what culture says aside and instead turn to God’s Word for biblical insight on marriage. It’s a message you won’t want to miss! Notes If we want a marriage and family that succeeds, we must do it as God tell us to! H. O. P. E Holding On with Patient Expectation. “Victory is not won by evacuation.” —Winston Churchill  1. Be the best version of yourself that you can be. Proverbs 31 speaks of a balanced woman strong in every way. The Bible reminds us to not focus on outward appearance alone. The Godly woman focuses primarily on the internal but does not forget the external.  The word adornment is “cosmos” in Greek. Note: The Bible does not forbid women to look attractive. Paul gives a balanced view of a balanced believer. The godly woman is known for her wisdom as well as her beauty. 2. Respect your man.  For a wife to win her husband requires her to respect him. “When a husband feels disrespected, it is especially hard to love his wife. When a wife feels unloved, it is especially hard to respect her husband.” —Dr. Emerson Eggerichs God is not calling on wives to feel respect; He is commanding them to show respectful behavior. Let your beauty be primarily inward, but don’t forget the outward. Respect and honor your husband.  Focus on actions over words to influence your husband. A man needs to listen to what his wife has to say. A woman needs to avoid the temptation to nag. T. – True H. – Helpful I. – Inspiring N. – Necessary K. – Kind  Often in communication, we are speaking from different perspectives. 3. Submit to the leadership of your husband.  “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28 The husband has the God-given responsibility to provide, protect, and lead just as the Lord does for the church! “But Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” —Acts 5:29 Scripture Referenced Song of Solomon 1:10 1 Timothy 4:8 Proverbs 31:26, 30 Ephesians 5:33 Proverbs 31:26 Proverbs 19:13; Proverbs 21:19  --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

In this classic crusade recording, Pastor Greg Laurie preaches a message titled, "Life's Most Dangerous Word." From this crusade event, we see the power of the gospel to change you and the power of God to satisfy your deepest longings.  Speaking to a large crowd, Pastor Greg gives tragic examples of people who pursue happiness and cannot find it in this world. The answer, we learn, is only found in a relationship with God, and we're invited to believe on the name of Christ today—not tomorrow. Pastor Greg Laurie states, "Life's most dangerous word is tomorrow. Tomorrow sounds so innocent, but it's life's most dangerous word. Tomorrow is the road that leads to the town called Never. Tomorrow is the barred and bolted door that shuts people out of Heaven."  If you would like to learn more about having a personal relationship with God, just go to KnowGod.org. This message was originally given at Harvest America at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, TX on the evening of June 10, 2018. --- Learn more about this year’s outreach event: SoCal Harvest 2022 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

Sometimes we just can’t hold back the joy. When our favorite sports team wins the big game. When our young child takes his first steps. When you hear the words, “You may kiss your bride.” Well, when we get to Heaven, we just may not be able to hold ourselves back from worship. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see what we’ll be doing in Heaven . . . and what things will be different from this life, and what things will largely be the same. It’s good insight from his series on the afterlife. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

Imagine sitting down for a fine meal. It may be the finest meal you’ve ever experienced. The service is first class. The chef is world renowned. His culinary creations will leave you speechless.

Pastor Greg Laurie revealed last time that 81% of Americans—churched and unchurched—believe in Heaven. More than three quarters. Even more hope to go there! But what’s it like there? Is it even possible to know? Yes, it is. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg brings a biblical travel brochure about our eternal home. It’s beyond our imagination, but we’ll see today the Bible gives some good information. Let’s open our minds and hearts to God’s Word.

Each year, more than 30 million people in this country move . . . relocate. That may explain why there are 7,000 moving companies across the fruited plain. When we move, we try to find out some details about our new home. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie provides some details about our eternal home. The Bible gives us more detail than you may be aware. And none of us knows our moving date, so it’s a good idea to get that information now and to be prepared.
