Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

We know prayer is a privilege. We know prayer is powerful. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. But what some don’t realize is that God WANTS us to come to Him. He welcomes our petitions. He listens to our cries. And prayer can make a difference, even if we don’t feel worthy for such an important role. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us insights on prayer straight from the Word of God. It’s good encouragement to be on “speaking terms” with our Heavenly Father.

Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, yet he chose to placate the people rather than release Him. But the courage he lacked, you can show today. Notes: Focus verses - John 18, 19 By definition, a coward is someone who lacks the courage to face difficult or painful things. Pontius Pilate saw an angry crowd that threatened his position.He was more afraid of the consequences than he was of God. #1 The Prefect Meets the PerfectJohn 18:28-38 Jesus, the PERFECT Son of God stands before Pontius Pilate, the Roman appointed PREFECT Governor of Judea.   Prefect Governor means he was a military focused governor. The religious leaders knew exactly what they were doing when they brought Jesus to Pilate. The man known for using power harshly becomes hesitant and weak when confronted by Jesus.  “What is truth?” Jesus was the incarnation of truth. Read verse 37.Jesus came to bring truth. Truth divides. Like Pilate, we all must make a decision regarding Jesus. Neutrality is not

Certain things people say can SOUND like they’re true. But they’re not.

Ever play the telephone game? You and some others gather in a circle. Someone whispers a message to the first person, who whispers it to the second and so on.When the last person reveals what he heard, it’s obvious that the message got wildly distorted.

No matter who we are, what neighborhood we come from, whether we’re famous, infamous or unknown, we have something someone else wants. We have something someone else needs.

What's the truth about Judas Iscariot? Has he truly been misunderstood all this time? Pastor Greg Laurie makes a biblical case for just how evil Judas actually was. Notes: Focus verse - Matthew 26 Judas Iscariot was perhaps the most paradoxical and wicked man in the Bible. Was Judas Iscariot misunderstood?   Satan put the idea into Judas’s mind to betray Christ.John 13:2 Judas could have resisted that temptation.  Judas initiated the betrayal of Christ.Matthew 26:14–16  Judas was a pretender, an actor, a performer.  Don’t let someone else’s inconsistency keep you away from following the only one who is consistent, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the perfect example. Read Matthew 26:21–24 Even though Jesus knew what Judas was up to, He demonstrated love to Judas to the very end. Read Matthew 26:39–50  Jesus was considering the load of sin He would bear. Jesus cried out "Abba, Father

We’ve all been wounded by something someone said to us. And, if we’re candid, we’d probably all admit we’ve said some things that may have hurt someone else. Once those careless words leave our mouths, there’s just no getting them back. How can we control our tongues . . . how can we keep that tiger in the cage? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to some specific counsel in the book of James.  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.

There are “signs of the times” all around, yet we don’t talk about prophecy enough. In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie and Bible prophecy expert, Joel Rosenberg, give some needed insight. Notes: Focuse verses - John 14, Matthew 24 All around us are signs of the times telling us Jesus is coming. Read John 14:1–3 Jesus has prepared a place for us, and He is coming for us. Jesus said, “When you see these things begin to happen, look up!”Luke 21:28 The teaching of the Rapture was given almost 2,000 years ago by Jesus on the Mount of Olives. The disciples asked Jesus,“What will be the sign of your coming?”Matthew 24:3 The signs of the times mentioned in Matthew 24 are to alert us to His coming. Read Matthew 24:3–15 Jesus wants us to understand this and other passages about prophecy.It’s not God’s desire to conceal, but to reveal. #1 The Tribulation period begins with the emergence of Antichrist.Matt

Once upon a time, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was a beloved fairy tale about kindness, virtue, and beauty. Now? Well, it seems Snow White has gone on a journey—not through the forest—but straight into the wilderness of wokeness.Has Disney completely lost the plot? Can they find their way back to the vision of Walt Disney himself—a man who once said, "In these days of world tensions, when the faith of men is being tested as never before, I am personally thankful that my parents taught me at a very early age to have a strong personal belief and reliance in the power of prayer for Divine inspiration." Imagine that. The man who built the magic kingdom, relying on divine inspiration.Here's Pastor Greg Laurie's full review on the new woke Snow White. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

It frankly would be hard to list all the things Jesus has done for us. The top of the list would be that He loved us enough to die for us. So here’s the question.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the Gospel of John for an important look at a well-known miracle. As we examine this account, we learn a lot about how Jesus wants us to live for Him and speak about Him.
