Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

A noted author of children’s books said, “One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again.” It’s true that relationships heat up and cool down over time. But marriage is the constant commitment that remains in place through it all . . . or should be. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to honor this commitment between a man and a woman and their God.

Remember Mr. Rogers? Yes, the “won’t you be my neighbor” Mr. Rogers? He was once quoted as saying, “For a couple with young children, divorce seldom comes as a “solution” to stress, only as a way to end one form of pain and accept another.” In our culture, divorce is often seen as the easiest path, or the one with less pain. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie wants to show you an alternative. We’ll see how God has a plan. A plan to give you hope.

Trials strengthen our faith. Just like exercise strengthens muscles, trials strengthen our faith muscles.

Jesus told us to cast our cares upon Him. But He never said, “In this world ye shall have no problems.” The Bible tells us to be anxious for nothing . . . it doesn’t say you won’t have anything to be anxious about. When the disciples cried out to Jesus in the midst of the storm, it was a real storm! But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the Lord is with us in the midst of the storms of life. He may not deliver us from the storm but He will deliver us through the storm.

Our culture says “wait to have sex . . . until the third or fourth date.” They say, before you marry someone, try living together for a while to see if it works out. Marriage as long as we both shall...live? No. Want. It’s pretty obvious that’s not the way God intended. Maybe that’s why half of marriages fail. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie gives the best advice there is. It doesn’t come from magazines or talk shows but from the inventor of marriage.

Jesus never dealt with any two people in the same way. He is the perfect example of how we can connect with people in our world. So, what would He say to the doubter? Notes:Focus verse: Matthew 11 When Jesus walked this earth, He encountered many people,and He always had time for individuals. John the Baptist was not just significant but super-significant. John offered hope to the people, calling them back to God. John was fearless. He called out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and professionally religious.Matthew 3:7–8 John baptized our Lord in the Jordan river and said,“He must increase, and I must decrease.” John’s job was to prepare the way for the Messiah. Read: Matthew 11:1-11 Before wearing “many crowns,” Jesus would wear the crown of thorns.Before the throne would come the cross. Doubt is not a sin. Sometimes we need to go through the foyer of doubt to get into the sanctuary of certainty. Moses was ready to quit. Elijah was ready to quit after Carmel and hearing Jezebel’s threats. Doubting Thomas wante

In a rather popular movie, the lovelorn ingenue confesses, “I love him for the man he wants to be and for the man he almost is.” How many fiancees have high hopes for changing their man that “almost is.” Albert Einstein, of all people, said “Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us discover the joy of marriage the way God intended.

Our culture has taken some liberties with marriage. It’s been redefined, re-envisioned, re-written and re-constructed. Sometimes it’s held out as a panacea . . . other times it’s ridiculed as a ball and chain. “Till death do us part” has come to mean “we’ll give it a try.” It’s no wonder there’s so much confusion about the institution. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us back to God’s original plan for marriage. We’ll see He has some ideas on how it can succeed.

Some comedians have stopped performing on college campuses. Why? Political correctness is more important than humor. And on some campuses, the biblical values we once held sacred are now considered hate speech. Look at TV. Curse words and innuendo flow freely, but traditional family values are deemed offensive. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us find our bearings. The Apostle Paul and several contemporaries show the way.

If ever there was someone who had a reason to be hopeless, it was Jesus. He left the glory of heaven to come to earth. He was tempted like us, felt pain like us, felt betrayal like us. The world He created turned against Him, and He was sentenced to the death of a common criminal. How’s YOUR day going? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to the hope found in Jesus’ sacrifice for us – a message Pastor Greg has been sharing in his Harvest Crusades for over 30 years.

When the alarm goes off early so we can get up and work out, it’s easy to wish we could strengthen our muscles while we lie there in bed. But we know it doesn’t work that way.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us get through the toughest times of our lives. Today, we’ll see our faith grows as we lean hard on the Lord.

Many of us know someone who can sleep through anything . . . a storm, an earthquake, a siren, an alarm. Sometimes you have to go give them a shake to pry them loose from their slumber. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it seems the Church will sometimes sleep through anything. Oh, we may be aware of the angst, the unrest and all the rest, but God wants us to stand up and speak out with God’s antidote for the ills our country is facing.

People can talk all day about what it takes to get to heaven. Inevitably, the discussion touches on the golden rule, and includes phrases like “be true to yourself” and “it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere.” People can be sincere and sincerely wrong at the same time. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie goes straight to Scripture for the real answer. If we want to know how to get to heaven, it’s best to ask the God of heaven. And that’s what we’ll do today.
