Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

Do you ever sit in your car with the engine running but haven’t yet put it in drive? You can pray for direction all day, but at some point, you’ve got to step on the gas.

Maybe God is calling you to take action, just like He did with Nehemiah. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, good encouragement about stepping up and moving forward in our walk of faith.

Ever carry too many grocery bags at once thinking you can handle it, and then . . . aah! . . . one bag breaks, another slips out of your hands, and everything’s on the ground?

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie finds encouragement from a familiar Old Testament story. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11!

A musical instrument sounds beautiful when it’s in tune, but over time, the strings loosen, and the notes go flat. But with a little attention and the right adjustments, it can be restored to the perfect pitch. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the same is true in our spiritual lives. When we drift out of sync with God, we’re not lost—we just need to be re-tuned. We’re in Nehemiah, learning practical steps to bring our lives back into harmony with God’s plan.

Remember Smokey the Bear? His correct name is Smokey Bear, a fictional spokesperson for the U.S. Forest Service. He’d say, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Yeah, fires can start by one careless person. But when it comes to the fire of revival, that fire can start with one person who does care. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us be that kind of person who let’s God use them to share the love of Christ in a world that needs that message.

Pastor Jonathan Laurie breaks down the story of the prodigal son by spotlighting the older brother—the one who stayed, obeyed, and still missed the father’s heart. Notes Luke 15:11–32 (NKJV) Luke 15:11–24 The younger brother rejected the father, rebelled, and pursued pleasure. The son’s request would be unheard of in the first century. The father honors the son’s request. Jesus is painting a picture of a father who maintains his love and endures the agony despite being rejected. We can be like that, too. We want the gift but not the Giver of the gift. The prodigal son hit rock bottom. That’s when he came to himself.The father ran to the son and kissed him. The RobeThe Father tells his servants to bring out the best robe. The father covered the son with his own honor. We don’t clean our lives up and then come to God.He cleans our lives up when we come to Him. The RingThe son had the righteousness of the father, and a full restoration of identity and authority to make decisions and give directives. The SandalsThe father restored the son, saying you belong here, and you’re equipped for the road ahead. The FeastThis was the father’s way of publicly and directly addressing any rumors or questions about his son. Luke 15:23 (NKJV)“And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; Luke 15:24 (NKJV)“For this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” And they began to be merry. Read Luke 15:25–32 The father again demonstrates his love. He pursues both sons because both sons are lost. The Religious BrotherLuke 15:25–32 Jesus was holding up a mirror. Read Luke 15:1–2 (NKJV) The religious leaders that Jesus was speaking to looked down on the people Jesus came to redeem. Luke 19:10 (NLT)For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost. The two brothers are a picture of the two types of people in the audience, rebellious versus religious. The Redemptive BrotherRomans 8:29 (NKJV) Jesus is the third brother. He is the one who left heaven and came to earth to seek and to save the lost. Jesus took our rebellion; He took our religion and everything that stood between the Father and us and absorbed it on the cross. That’s the gospel.That’s what Jesus did for you. What’s it going to take? — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

In essence, believers are a part of two families. We’re a part of our earthly families, and we’re part of the family of God. There are privileges and responsibilities that go with both. Pastor Greg Laurie points out how it’s sometimes difficult to share about our faith with our earthly family. Sometimes, one family doesn’t want to hear about the other one. Listen in for good insight on what God expects of us within those most important earthly relationships. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11!

Pastor Greg Laurie has counsel today for husbands (and wives) on undergirding our marriages. “You need to tell them you find them beautiful. You need to tell them you appreciated the meal. You love what they’re doing with the house. You see them being such a great mother to your children. Or whatever it is, you need to be building one another up. Far too often in marriage we tear each other down and we never build each other up.” The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11!

Ever found yourself between a rock and a hard place with a home repair project? If you do this, the house catches fire. If you do that, the house falls down. So you call “the guy.” The guy who knows stuff. He comes in and turns the whatchamacallit right side up, and job done. Where can we find that kind of help to turn the rest of our lives right side up? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that today on A NEW BEGINNING. Good encouragement coming our way. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11!

You’ve probably met someone who left an indelible mark on your life. A friend, a loved one, a coach, a teacher. Maybe it was something they said, or the way they stepped in right when you needed it. Long after the moment passed, that impact stayed with you. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to the One who still changes lives like that today . . . but on a whole different level. A level that reaches to eternity. It’s a message you don’t want to miss. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11!

We talk of the Word of God as being our sword . . . our sword of the Spirit in spiritual battle. We speak of it being food for our hungry souls. But it’s also a steady life preserver when we get pulled under by pressure and panic. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us the comfort we meet when the Bible calls Jesus a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. He understands our pain, and His arms are strong enough to carry us through. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11!

None of us likes to pay bills. And we particularly don’t want to pay our next door neighbor’s bills. Well, spiritually speaking, the Bible is clear that a price had to be paid for the sins of mankind. A high price. But Jesus paid it on our behalf. We owed a debt we couldn’t pay, but Jesus paid a debt He didn’t owe. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see just what agony Jesus went through in settling our debt.

Have you ever looked up into the starry sky on a clear night? You’re awestruck at the vastness of outer space. If that weren’t awesome enough, God created the heavens and the earth with just the power of His Word. You think He might be able to handle the problem on your mind right now?

Believers are drawn to worship. Love compels us. But we’re also drawn to God when life gives us nowhere else to go. When trials bring us to our knees, that’s the perfect position to pray. We can waste time focusing on “why” . . . asking why it happened. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to “Who” . . . Who is the One who has the power and the desire to get us through the mess we’re in.

We live in an age of compromise, concession and appeasement. The culture would have us look the other way in the face of wrong-doing. Just go along to get along. What’s that they say . . . people who don’t stand for something will fall for anything. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie urges us to be courageous in our walk with the Lord. We have the good news that leads to eternal life. We can’t keep that hidden.

More than 80% of Generation Z kids say they’re stressed out. 4 out of 5. 1 in 3 adults lose sleep over their finances. And nearly three quarters fear the future. Is that the way God wants us to live? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us a biblical antidote for the anxiety that grips our hearts. We’ll follow the example of a reluctant warrior in the Old Testament and see how the same God that gave him courage can give us courage. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

There’s a famous poem about defiant independence featuring phrases like “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” The Lord probably finds that poem pretty funny. The Bible says the earth is God’s footstool. And He hears a wee, little voice say I am the captain of my soul.

God gave us free will. And what a risky gift that is. Sure, it’s fine when the biggest choice is coffee or tea . . . sneakers or sandals. But what happens when our will collides with God’s will? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes on the danger of saying, “Thanks, God, but I’ve got this.” He’ll walk us through the story of an Old Testament character who wanted things his way, in his timing . . . and even wrestled with God. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Sin can have lethal consequences! God had a rescue plan from the very beginning, but that plan required His Son to give His own life so that we could live. Jesus’ death wasn’t a good plan gone bad . . . it was God’s perfect plan to redeem imperfect man.

Ever searched YouTube for how-to help and found some guy fixing a leaky faucet with nothing but a sock and a taco shell? Somehow, it worked, and you watched the whole thing. Why? Because we learn by watching someone else do it first. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains it’s the same with the Christian life.

The number one reason believers don’t share their faith is fear: “What if I offend that person? What if it changes the relationship?” Would we be concerned about that if their home was on fire and they were in danger? Well, the Gospel saves people from a very real eternal danger.

Jesus was arrested and subject to unjust trials before the Jewish leaders and Roman governor Pilate. Though found innocent, He was sentenced to death to appease the crowd. Jesus was scourged, mocked, and forced to carry His cross to Golgotha. There, He was crucified between two criminals, ultimately dying to pay the penalty for our sin.

These kind of people can be anywhere – classmates, co-workers, church members. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us understand these people, and be on our guard.

Some people treat prayer like it’s a game of chance. Like Bingo.

Some people don’t understand the logic of faith. Believers put their trust in a God who parted the Red Sea, raised the dead, healed the sick, calm ed the storm, walked on water . . . and created the heavens and the earth.

The Bible teaches us how to think and how to behave. And we see it demonstrated in the lives of the heroes of our faith. They were people of commitment, and people of action.

Nothing takes the place of a sold-out relationship with the Lord. Not a big check in the offering plate, not packing a pew with friends and relatives on Sunday morning, not even the “God is my co-pilot” bumper stick on the back of the car.
