Overcoming the Great Deceiver: Truth in a World of Fakes | Forgiven and Free

Many of us remember our most embarrassing moment. Maybe we said something we shouldn’t have . . . or did something we shouldn’t have. It may have been silly or something serious but we remember everything about that moment. Sometimes our sin can be like that. We know the Lord has forgiven us, but we’re not too sure we’ve forgiven us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see just how complete the Lord’s forgiveness is. It’s just as if it never happened. Harvest Crusade tickets are fully claimed—but it’s not too late to participate and witness what God does on July 11.

Overcoming the Great Deceiver: Truth in a World of Fakes | Fighting From Victory

Our spiritual adversary has been at war with believers for a long time. Thousands of years, in fact. He knows how to trip us up . . . and sadly, admittedly, he’s pretty good at it. So how do we stand strong? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to the battle-tested truth of God’s Word. The good news? We’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from victory. God has already won, and He’s equipped us to stand our ground.

Packing for Eternity | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)

When we pack for a vacation or trip to a different place, it’s important to bring the right kind of stuff. If you're going to Tahiti, you'll want to pack more shorts, light-colored clothes, and swim gear! If you’re going to the snowy mountains, then lots and lots of layers will fill your suitcase. But what about the place we'll all go if we trust in Jesus—what do we bring on our trip to Heaven? Tune in now to see how we should be preparing for Heaven. Notes: Luke 17    Heaven is every Christian’s eternal destination.   Philippians 3:18–21 (NLT)   Luke 17: 11–19 (NKJV)   Pack Gratitude   Gratitude matters to Jesus.   The ten lepers were healed of the worst disease they ever could’ve contracted.   All ten lepers were healed, but only one returned to Jesus to thank Him.   When God answers our prayers, we need to come back and say, “Thank you, Lord, for what you did!”   Gratitude is a spiritual discipline that keeps you oriented toward God, rather than toward what God gives you.   1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (NLT) Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is the will of God.   We are told to be thankful in all circumstances.   All miracles were created by God to point to the greatest miracle. 2 Corinthians 5:20–21 (NLT) The greatest miracle is that Jesus, who never sinned, was the offering for our sin, so we could be made right with God.   All the lepers had faith in Jesus to heal. Only one had faith that resulted in trust, gratitude, humility, love, praise, and worship.   Luke 17:20–37 (NKJV)   Pack Light   Spiritually, we pick up all kinds of baggage that we don’t want to bring with us to heaven.   The Pharisees failed to understand because they were spiritually blind.   What are you willing to leave behind?   Luke 17:32 (NKJV)   Luke 17:33 (NKJV)   You cannot hold onto your old life and your new life simultaneously. You have to decide which one you are actually living for.   Those who are the most heavenly-minded do the most earthly good.   The King of Heaven Himself came down and paid your way.   Remember Lot’s wife. She almost made it. Don’t almost make it. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11!
