Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

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. But you can’t get your eyes off the shiny silverware. You ignore the food and gaze upon the utensil. Behold the spoon! Ridiculous. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the folly of being so enamored with the world we miss eternity.

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 us some good information. It’s one of the most requested messages of this past year.

In this message, Pastor Adam helps us remember "why church matters." We'll take a look at Hebrews for important points.  Notes: Hebrews 10:19—25 Hebrews 4:12 Hebrews 4:15—16 Hebrews 6:19 We must go to God. We must hold on to hope. We must motivate each other. Only 24% of our congregation attended Harvest at least once per month on average. 76% attended less than once per month. Only 11% went to at least half the Sundays in 2023. 1. We must go to God. The Church exists for 3 reasons: The exaltation of God (Upward) The edification of the saints (Inward) The evangelization of the world (Outward) 2. We must hold on to hope. Ephesians 2:8–9 (ESV) “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” 3. We must motivate each other. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Each year, about 27 million people in this country move . . . relocate. That may explain why there are 17,000 moving companies across the fruited plain. When we move, try to find out some details about our new home. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie provides some details about our eternal home.

Some professions have specialty clothing . . . and it saves lives. Firefighters have “turnout pants and jackets” to protect against heat. Police officers wear kevlar vests. Soldiers have vests and helmets and boots. As we’ll learn today, Christian soldiers have specialty clothing, as well. But too many of us don’t know much about it. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us get to know our six pieces of spiritual armor, and how we can use them in spiritual battle.

The old evangelist Billy Sunday said, “Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.” How many of us have our fingerprints on the doorknob, and wonder why we fell to the devil’s lures? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us good insight on the spiritual environment we’re living in. It’s a look at the spiritual battle being waged all around us, whether we realize it or not . . . and how we’re all combatants in the fight.

We throw the word idol around pretty freely in our culture. “So-and-so is a teen idol” . . . “did you watch American Idol?” . . . “Humphrey Bogart was a matinee idol.” But biblically speaking, an idol is a representation or symbol of an object of worship. It’s a clear transgression of the First Commandment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie warns about idol worship based on an epic confrontation in First Kings 18. Elijah goes toe to toe with the prophets of Baal. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

None of us likes to wait. Like when we’re on hold hearing that annoying music repeat over and over again. Or when we’re in line at the grocery store or the airport. Or in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, and our name is finally called and we go to the exam room to . . . wait some more. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that when we wait on GOD, it can renew us. We’ll see some great miracles took place through the prophet Elijah AFTER a time of waiting on the Lord. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

Merry Christmas from all of us at Harvest Ministries and A NEW BEGINNING. Today, Pastor Greg helps us look beyond the gifts and the garland, the tinsel and the tree. We’ll see the birth of Jesus had a purpose. God sent His Son on a rescue mission for sinners who couldn’t save themselves. That was His purpose.
