Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

Pastor Greg Laurie brings us a message on the power of forgiveness, a virtue every Christian should embrace. As he always reminds us, “Forgiven people should be forgiving people.” Hear all he has to say on the matter. Notes 2 Samuel 1 Does God approve or disapprove of us? Our Father in Heaven stands apart from all earthly fathers. David was a warrior, a worshipper, a lover, and a fighter, but he was also wrathful, petty, vengeful, and openly sinful. Be careful what you wish for. You might get it! Read: 2 Samuel 1:23–27 David did not remember Saul's sins! Grace forgives and forgets! The people of Israel wanted peace today! The Israelites were not colonizers because God gave them the land to begin with. Jews are the indigenous people of the land of Judea. David was willing to forgive his enemies and live at peace with them. This is why David is called a man after God's own heart. Read: 2 Samuel 9:2–13 God specializes in taking people who have been dropped in life and picking them back up again! The word kindnes

When we spend some serious time out in the sun, it’s pretty obvious. People can see it all over our face. “You got some sun, didn’t you?” Well today, we’ll see when we spend some time with the Son – S-O-N – it may be just as obvious. People will wonder what’s different about us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues our studies of the Church of the First Century in the book of Acts. It’s a series called The Upside-Down Life. Let’s see how to show we’ve been with Jesus.

Whether you’re a woodworker, a steel worker or in another form of construction, you know that, the tougher the job, the more the need for power tools.

And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of putting them to work. It’s part of his series in the book of Acts called The Upside-Down Life.

Christianity is a worldwide faith. Some say over 31% are Christians the world over. Yet, if you rewind history, Christianity began in a small geographic area on the other side of the globe, with just a handful of followers. How in the world did they reach the world!?

Pastor Jonathan Laurie shares what a true friendship looks like to the godly person. Notes: “David did not know the rest of his story, he just knew that God was writing it, and it would ultimately be good. God has a future for you, too. Until that day, remember, ‘Our times are in His hands.’” —Pastor Greg Remember that we can always trust an unknown future to a known God. “True Friendship” 1 Samuel / Psalms 1 Samuel 18:1–4 1. A good friend is one who recognizes God’s Will. 1 Samuel 18:1–4 / Psalm 37:4–7 1 Samuel 20:30–33 “A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.” —G.K. Chesterton Psalm 37:4–7 Matthew 6:33 If something makes you forget about God or not want to spend time with Him, you need to deny yourself of it … no matter how good you may think it is. Mark 8:36 2. A good friend is one who builds each other up. 1 Samuel 23:15–18 / Psalm 27:1–3, 14 Psalm 27:1–3 3. A good friend is one who is sacrificial. 1 Samuel 18:1–4 / Psalm 22 Sacrificial love is a type of love that i

When God wanted to share His message of love, surprisingly He chose to use people to reach people. Flawed, fallible, foible-filled people. Ahh, but the power of the message is not in us messengers, it’s built in to the message. And the boldness and direction we need is built in to us by the Spirit who lives within us. Pastor Greg Laurie discusses that today on A NEW BEGINNING as he continues a message from his brand new series in Acts – a series called The Upside-Down Life.

Before Covid, few of us had ever been subjected to a quarantine. But that experience effectively isolated us in a bubble. In a spiritual sense, sometimes believers are constantly isolated from the world in a self-imposed quarantine. We don’t want to be OF the world so we try not to be IN the world. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how that neglects one of our most important responsibilities. It’s the kick off of a new series in Acts called The Upside-Down Life.

Ever try to run up a downward escalator? Sounds silly, but kids try it all the time, just to see if they can. When we try to fight against the lures of temptation on our own strength, we’re running up a downward escalator. The momentum against us is just too much. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us change escalators and embrace the power and provision of God through prayer. When we’re moving in the same direction as the Spirit of God, the journey is much easier.

To borrow from Mark Twain, “Bad news can travel halfway around the world, while good news is still putting on its shoes.” When an influential believer falls into sin, it seems like we hear about it at the speed of light. But how do we reach out to someone who’s helped us, when they’re the ones who need help? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that question today on A NEW BEGINNING. We’re considering a story about Noah in the Book of Genesis. This godly man sinned. But we can learn from this biblical account.

“...But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help” (Psalm 31:22). How often has that been true for you, too? Psalm 31 puts the overwhelming goodness of God on display, reminding us of who He is in hardship we face. Get more insight into this psalm now with Pastor Greg Laurie. Notes: Today's Scripture: Psalm 31 God determines the length of your life. God was preparing David to be a king, the greatest of Israel’s kings. The most important thing about this king is, he would be in the Messianic line. Acts 13:22 Overall, David did everything God wanted him to do, not flawlessly but faithfully. “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, for You have considered my trouble and You have known my soul in adversities.” Psalm 31:7 Sometimes the ones you help the most hurt you the worst. Sometimes fellow believers will criticize you when God begins to bless you. People are going to hurt you in life, and you will hurt people as well. “God allows us to feel the frailty of human love so we’ll appreciate the st
