Greg Laurie Podcast

In the Lord’s Prayer, we read “Lead us not into temptation.” Yeah, we certainly don’t want to go down that path. But haven’t you found that sometimes temptation comes up the path and finds us! Temptation is pervasive. It’s ubiquitous. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us dissect temptation. We’ll trace its roots all the way back to the Garden of Eden. And Pastor Greg offers some biblical insights on how to stop Satan’s attacks right in their tracks.

Many products have labels noting where they were made. Maybe Made in China, Japan, Mexico, or Made in the U.S.A. Metaphorically, if we were to look at our label—the label of man himself—it would say “Made in the Garden of Eden . . . by God.” You and I were handcrafted by our Heavenly Father. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, not only were man and woman handmade by God, the institution of marriage was, as well. Today we’ll get the full story.

If you don’t know where you’re going, how do you know when you get there? It seems some people are in permanent wander mode. They’re drifting. But those who live for the Lord continually encounter the wonder of God. Wonder . . . or wander? The choice is up to us. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps connect us with the plan and purpose of God. We’re in the opening message of a study series in the book of Genesis. We’re considering God’s plan from the very beginning. Harvest Crusade 2024 --- Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

Psalm 27 offers us comforting words, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid?” In today’s message, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us study this Psalm, revealing the power it holds. Find the biblical wisdom you need. Notes: People’s number one fear is glossophobia. We need to face our fears. Deal with your giants, because either you conquer them, or they will conquer you. “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”Psalm 27:1 Faith overcomes fear. When faith walks in, worry walks out; but when worry steps in, faith walks out. The Christian life is not a cakewalk; it’s a conflict—it’s not a playground; it’s a battleground. There will always be something to potentially worry about. When you are afraid in the dark, turn on the light.Psalm 27:1 Anxious notions come sweeping into our mind, uninvited and unwelcome.But the presence of our heavenly Father can dispel all fear, worry, and anxiety. Face your fears in God’s strength, not your own.Psalm 27:1 God is bigger than your enemies.Psalm 27:2–3 God promises to keep us safe in His protection.Psalm 27:5 God will never allow anything to touch us that He does not allow, and He certainly will never let anything happen that would separate us from His love for us. God either did it or allowed it for His glory and our ultimate good.Romans 8:38  David knew that the main thing was to keep the main thing the main thing!Psalm 27:4–5 A danger in life is to permit the urgent things to crowd out the important things. If we don’t focus on that one thing, we will end up doing everything, and accomplish nothing.Read: Psalm 27:8–10 You have a Father in Heaven who loves you and always has time for you. God promises to be a Father to the fatherless. Your heavenly Father will never abandon you.Psalm 27:9 Take courage and continue to follow the Lord.Psalm 27:13–14 Harvest Crusade 2024 --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

God’s plan for creation and His plan for mankind, included His plan for man’s redemption. Even before the heavens and the earth were created, He knew man’s freewill would lead him astray. . . and He had a solution before we even tasted of the forbidden fruit. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie digs into God’s plan as revealed in Genesis. To understand something best, we need to take it from the top—chapter 1, verse 1 of book #1 in God’s Word.

According to one survey, only 5% of people read owners’ manuals. Maybe that’s why one lady called Kitchen Aid to ask which was the best spin cycle in her clothes washer for drying her lettuce. And then wanted to know why her clothes were turning green. Well, we have an owner’s manual for life: the Bible. But so many leave it on the shelf. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us recognize the Bible for what it is: a book that gives the prescription for life.

Ever been so hungry you felt weak? Not just hunger pangs, not just in a “hangry”mood. You actually felt sluggish and powerless. Food is at the top of your mind. Well,we can start to feel weak spiritually . . . but so many times our spiritual food ISN’T at the top of our minds. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out just what God’s Word does for the weary traveler on the road of life. We’ll see it gives us actual power for living. And we shouldn’t deprive ourselves. Harvest Crusade 2024 --- Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

When people hear what Jesus has done for us, they’ll see what Jesus can do for them. That’s the essence of sharing the gospel. But what HAS Jesus done for us? If we’ve lost sight of how our life has changed, it may be time to for some soul searching before we go out soul winning. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us reignite the passion in our hearts, and ignite our afterburners in our efforts to share Christ with those who need to meet Him.

Imagine coming upon a burning car with someone trapped inside. And you help them get free. Or imagine seeing a toddler heading toward a busy street just as momma turns her head. And you scoop him up just in the nick of time. It’s a good day when you save someone from peril! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, we save someone from eternal peril when we help them come to Christ. And when that happens, it’s a very good day!

In today’s message, Pastor Greg Laurie shares that spiritual success or failure depends on how much of God’s Word you get into your life on a regular basis, and how obedient you are to it. Get insight now from Psalm 19.  Notes  Don’t build your life on fickle emotions; build your life on Christ and God’s Word. As we read, study, memorize, and obey Scripture, it refreshes us.  The word convert means, “to revive, restore, and transform.” Success or failure in the Christian life depends on how much of God’s Word you get into your life on a regular basis, and how obedient you are to it. A growing believer will delight in and love the Word of God.  Hungry Christians are healthy Christians.  The Word of God is perfect. “His mercies are new every morning.” —Lamentations 3:23 How do you know the Bible is the Word of God? All the authors of the Bible write about one theme: God’s redemption of mankind. The Bible is true because it gives the experience it claims it will give you. The Bible is true because it is confirmed by science. It was the Bible that first said that the number of stars were innumerable.  The objective of the Bible is not to tell us how the heavens go, but how to go to Heaven and how to know God. The Bible is true because it is the one book that dares to predict the future. The Word of God transforms us.  It’s not enough to read and study God’s Word; we must do it! The Bible is God’s Word to us, and it should be treasured. The Word of God gives us incredible wisdom.  The word simple comes from a root word that speaks of an open door. What if you don’t agree with what the Bible says? Answer: Change your opinion because you are wrong, and the Bible is right. The Word of God is right. Keeping the Word of God makes you happy.  “Happy are those that hear the Word of God and keep it.” —Luke 11:28 You can have a happy life without sin.  The Bible tells us how to get to Heaven.

When you think back on your spiritual journey and how it was that you came to Christ, most likely there was at least one human being involved in the process. Aren’t you thankful for that person? Well, we each have the opportunity to be “that person” for someone else. It’s God’s plan for disseminating the Good News. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as part of his series called Refresh, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how refreshing it is when we follow through with our evangelism privilege and responsibility.

Some seem to believe the realm of evangelism is for “men of the cloth” . . . for pastors, ministers, evangelists. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says it’s a privilege and responsibility shared by all believers. In recent days, he’s been pointing out the tremendous lessons we can learn from Jonah’s success in Nineveh. It was the most successful evangelistic gathering in history. And there are six practical lessons we can learn from that account. Let’s take some notes. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

Whatever we’ve accumulated in life, we can’t take it with us when life is over. It’s like a game of Monopoly . . . the cash, the houses, the hotels . . . when the game is over, it all goes back in the box. But there is one exception: people. We can take people to Heaven with us. The Lord invites us, urges us, to share the gospel, and invite them to Christ.

God has given us mere humans the opportunity to participate in giving life. A mom and dad bring life into this world with their newborn baby. And as believers, we have the privilege of bringing the message of new life to people as we share Christ. But some folks are not easily persuaded. They’re stuck in their sin and don’t want to move.

Wood that’s been split and sawn, and sanded and shaped can make some fine furniture. But if our compassion should get the best of us and we didn’t want to see that wood face that stress, most of us would just have some chunks of tree sitting in our living rooms.
