Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

What happens when we die? It’s a question as old as time—and the answer’s right in the Bible. And today, pastor and author Max Lucado addresses this spiritual question and helps ease any fears we have relating to the afterlife. Notes: What happens when we die? “In slavery by their fear of death.”Hebrews 2:15 NIV “We want you to be quite certain, brothers, about those who have died, to make sure that you do not grieve about them, like the other people who have no hope.”1 Thessalonians 4:13 TJB Where do we go when we die? “Remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.”Luke 23:42 NCV “I tell you the truth, today, you will be with Me in paradise.”Luke 23:43 NCV “I was caught up to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether I was in my body or out of my body, I don’t know—only God knows. Yes, only God knows whether I was in my body or outside my body. But I do know that I was caught up to paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be expressed in words, things no human is allowed to tell.”2 Corinthi

How many of us have worried a problem away? We spent hours wracked with anxiety, and that did it! Problem solved. No, not likely. Author Erma Bombeck famously said, “Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere.” Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it’s actually possible to live a worry-free life. We’ll see where to focus our eyes instead.

We’ve all been treated unfairly. Maybe they let us down, they put us down, they kept us down. And we may have paid a dear price for it. Maybe it happened 20 years ago . . . or 20 minutes ago. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out what it does to us when we carry that burden of resentment. We’ll look to the words of Jesus Himself and find a way to set ourselves free from that bondage. We’ll see forgiveness sets a person free. Not the perpetrator, the victim.

Think of the conversations you have with a good friend of yours. If the only time you spoke to them was to ask a favor or borrow a couple of bucks, that relationship would start to feel pretty shallow. No, good friends connect with each other and let the relationship deepen. Today, on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see prayer as more than just a request line. We’ll see it’s a way for us to deepen our relationship with the Lord, and bring our will in line with His will. We’ll see prayer is a lifeline to a loving God.

The Apostle Paul poses some essential questions in Romans chapter 10: How can non-believers call on Jesus to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how important it is that we share the Good News of Christ. It’s such an important link in the chain. Important insight coming up from the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount.

We all have a bit of an actor inside us—not the Broadway type or a movie star, but the kind who can muster up some enthusiasm when we need to. We might force a courtesy chuckle when someone tells a corny joke. But when it comes to our Christian witness, it’s got to be the real deal. It’s not about putting on a show but about living a life of genuine faith. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how to purify our character and let our light shine to those around us.

Visitors to the Holy Land are often able to visit the hillside where it’s thought Jesus indeed delivered the Sermon on the Mount. It’s right on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

And today on A NEW BEGINNING, he digs in to Jesus’ words that lay out the prescription for a truly rewarding life. It cuts through the cultural fog about where happiness can be found.  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.

The things we’re eager to buy, we’re eager to buy them because they’ll make us happy, right? Like a new car! Oh yeah!

How can we find real happiness? Well, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us a message on happiness. Jesus addressed the subject in the Sermon on the Mount.

God has given each of us a job. It’s an important job. But we probably spend a lot more time at the job that’s printed on our business card than engaged in the job God has given us. God didn’t put us here to be the vice-president of this, or the regional director that. Pastor Greg Laurie points out today, our main job is to show others how to know the Lord. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, some practical insight on how to do that job well. The job is discipleship . . . and we all have been called to that privilege. Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27!

Ever been hunting for something in one of those big-box stores . . . and you feel like you’ve been walking forever? You ask an employee, “Excuse me, where are the paper towels?” And you hope they don’t just point... to the other side of the store. The words you want to hear are, “C’mon, I’ll take you there.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains that new believers need that kind of assistance. We need to show them the way. It’s personal, helpful. It’s called discipleship, and that’s our topic today.  Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27! Get details here.

Christian disciples are in the import/export business. No, it’s not Persian rugs or spices from India. It’s truth from Heaven. God’s Word gives us everything we need to know to grow as committed followers of the Lord. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it’s up to us to import those truths into our lives, and then look for opportunities to export those principles into the lives of those in our circle of influence. These are “disciplines of discipleship.”  Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27! Get details here.

One of the classic, old CCM songs of days gone by was called Two Hands, by Love Song. The song said “with one hand reach out to Jesus, with the other, bring a friend.” That’s a pretty good description of discipleship in a nutshell.

We’ll learn how to embrace the very purpose we’re here: to have fellowship with God, and to bring others into that fellowship. Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27! Get details here.
