Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

Some months ago, social media was ablaze with an interesting sound experiment. A certain recording sounded like the word “Laurel” to some people, and like “Yanny” to others. It was very interesting, and a bit odd. But we see the same thing on a spiritual level – two people can respond to a single Gospel message in two different ways. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the danger of listening with a hardened heart. And Pastor Greg begins with an admission.

There’s a special form of Japanese pottery called Kintsugi. It means “golden joinery.” Broken ceramics are restored with a lacquer resin mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. The repairs are obvious...and beautiful! The Bible speaks of us as God’s workmanship. We may have some cracks and chips, but God can heal us in a beautiful way and make us vessels of honor. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains how we can be fit for the Master’s use. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

God used a lot of unlikely people to serve Him in big ways...a shepherd boy, a prostitute, a drunkard, a tax collector, a little boy with a sack lunch. And David, Rahab, Noah and Matthew would all tell you how God can use anyone, anywhere, anytime, under any circumstance. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to make ourselves available for God’s plan. No matter where you’re at right now, you’re in the right spot to be used by the Lord.

Our lives don’t always go according to plan. Or maybe we should say our lives don’t always go according to OUR plans. God knows what’s coming, He knows our heartache and our disappointment, He knows our strengths and limitations, and He has a plan hand-crafted for each of our lives. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn to recognize God’s plan in our lives and say yes to the Lord’s calling. That’s the most rewarding pathway you and I can travel.

Those friends and associates you’re in contact with...they have a word for that group. It’s called your “circle of influence.” The key question is, what kind of influence do you have on your circle of influence? Do you draw them to Christ, or do they wonder what kind of Christian are you? Or would they be surprised you ARE a Christian? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us put ourselves out there on the front line for the Lord...he invites us to put our faith on display to everyone we meet.

God can use just about anybody. He can use a former shoe salesman...such as D.L. Moody. He can use a young dairy farmer...such as Billy Graham. Or use an aimless young high school kid looking for answers...such as Greg Laurie. The Bible is full of people who seemed to lack ability but offered availability. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the time is right for God to use you. What’s holding you back from saying yes to what the Lord has in mind?

Imagine if the signers of the Declaration of Independence had stayed within their comfort zone. Imagine if Henry Ford was satisfied with the horse and buggy. Or if Steve Jobs thought the flip phone was good enough. Those men changed their world. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God wants to take us outside our comfort zone to change our world. It’s not about nations or cars or phones. It’s about letting God use us to impact people with an eternal message. Support the Harvest Maui Relief Fund Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

The Bible helps us learn real lessons from real people. Sometimes we learn from their successes, sometimes we learn from their failures. But it helps to see principles lived out in real life. And currently on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie is helping us learn from the life of Moses. He was a great prophet, a true man of God...but he was a man with shortcomings and blind spots, as are we. And today, we’ll learn from Moses’ impulsiveness, and learn from his shortcomings.

Ever researched a product online and when you discovered dozens of bad reviews, you decided against it? What happened in that research? Other people influenced your behavior. They kept you from making a mistake. How are you influencing others...no not in the products they buy but how they pattern their life?

Certain advertisers used to be guilty of something called “Bait and Switch.” The consumer would get lured into the store by something the advertiser had no plan to deliver. So it goes with the way our adversary tries to bait us with his temptations...but sin never delivers guilt-free pleasure. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to an important case in point in the life of one of the Bible’s great Old Testament patriarchs. We’ll learn from his experience.

The world has a knack for attempting to put a happy face on some deep, dark times of crisis. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” “Don’t worry, be happy.” “Look on the bright side.” But sometimes an earthquake so shakes our lives that there doesn’t seem to be a bright side. But...don’t mountains rise from earthquakes? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how God can help us rise above our pain, and He can put our past to use in the most fulfilling ways.

Imagine sitting in the driver’s seat of your parked car. And you start disassembling your steering wheel. You loosen the nut that holds your steering wheel in place. Now, the steering wheel is barely connected to your front wheels. Are you willing to hit the open highway without that control? Only if you like ditches. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, from the series Heroes of the Bible, Pastor Greg Laurie points out some people choose to do that with their very lives...and wind up in some kind of ditch.

Funambulism is the skill of walking the tightrope...the high wire. And performers face mortal danger...it’s a long way down. The last thing they want (literally) is to make it only half way across the high wire. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out it’s even more important to finish the race of life well. There’s mortal danger, there’s uncertainty and breathless moments. But thankfully, when we fall, the Lord is there to catch us and restore us. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

Scripture warns us that wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction. Lots of folks going that way. It’s the way that “seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us an alternative. He helps us through the narrow gate. It won’t make us popular or politically correct. But better to live in a way that’s pleasing to God, even if it displeases people, rather than the other way around.

Even in the Lord’s Prayer, we say the words “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Thomas Fuller once wrote, “He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.” Today, on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the life of Joseph, an outstanding biblical example of forgiveness and what fruit can come of that selfless action.

God has great promises for believers who are living in the last days—of which the Rapture is one of the greatest. Listen in as Pastor Greg Laurie explores what the Bible says about this future event and how it changes the way you live today.  Notes When a believer dies, they go to Heaven, because death means separation, not annihilation. Humans do not cease to exist; we simply change our address.  Our physical bodies will be transformed at the Rapture. The world itself will not end or cease to exist, but this evil age will come to an end (1 John 2:17).   One of the signs of the end times is a greater awareness of Bible prophecy (Daniel 12:4). The return of Jesus Christ is described for us many times in Scripture. There are over 300 passages that deal with Christ’s return, and one verse in 25 mentions the Lord’s return. One of the big signs of the Last Days is the gathering of Israel to their homeland. Scripture tells us Israel will be attacked (Ezekiel 38; 39).   After Israel is attacked, God will pour out Hi
