Heaven: The Home We Long For | Sunday MessageHeaven: The Home We Long For | Sunday MessageHomer’s epic The Odyssey—retold in this summer’s blockbuster—is built around one longing: to get home. The Greeks even had a word for it: nostos, or “homecoming.” It’s where we get the word “nostalgia”—literally, the ache of home. For ten years, Odysseus fights his way past hostile gods just to reach Ithaca—Poseidon, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and more. Here’s the difference: we don’t have to fight our way home. We just have to find our way back.

When Nothing Feels Like Enough: The Secret to ContentmentWhen Nothing Feels Like Enough: The Secret to ContentmentWe think if we had a nicer car, or a bigger house, or a larger salary, or a new face, or new body, then we’d be content. But Max Lucado says: “The good life begins not when circumstances change but when our attitude toward them does.”  And writing to the Christians in Philippi, the apostle Paul said, “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.” (Philippians 4:11–12 NLT). Paul was in difficult circumstances when he wrote these words. He wasn’t spouting theories from an ivory tower. He was under house arrest, writing from the school of hard knocks. Yet Paul found contentment because he rejoiced in the Lord. Earlier in Philippians 4, he wrote, "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (verse 4 NKJV). He didn’t say that we should rejoice in circumstances. Sometimes that’s hard to do. But Paul did say that we should rejoice in the Lord.

The Golden Key to Spiritual Growth | Sunday MessageThe Golden Key to Spiritual Growth | Sunday MessageWhy do some believers grow deep roots while others fade out fast? Jesus answered that question 2,000 years ago in the Parable of the Sower. Turns out, spiritual growth isn’t one big decision—it’s thousands of small, daily choices. Bible or phone? Church or no church? Those choices add up, and they shape who you become. Pastor Greg Laurie walks us through the four kinds of hearts Jesus describes: Hardened, shallow, crowded, and fruitful. And he shares the real “golden key” to lasting spiritual growth. Notes: Luke 8   The Christian life is more than praying a prayer and getting “fire insurance.”   It's following Jesus as your Savior and as your Lord.   Life is one long string of choices.   By not choosing spiritual growth, we choose spiritual decline.   Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV) "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life.”   If you want to go forward as a Christian, you will.   God has given us everything we need for spiritual growth and progress. 2 Peter 1:3   Read Luke 8:11–15 (NLT)   Which of these four soils represents you best? Only one out of four makes it.   The job of the Sower is to throw the seed out far and wide.   This type of sowing seed was known as “broadcasting.”   Our job is to sow the seed of the word of God.   God does the work of conversion.   The Apostle Paul shows us how we each have a role to play. 1 Corinthians 3:6–7   The only way to tell if someone is really a Christian is through the test of time.   1 John 2:19 (NLT) These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.   Prodigals come to faith, fall away, and return later.   Some people have a weak beginning but a strong finish. That is better than a strong beginning and no finish.   The Hardened Heart Luke 8:12   Mark 4:15 (NLT) “Only to have Satan come at once and take it away.”   Whenever you share the gospel with people, expect satanic opposition.   Every time you hear the gospel, your heart can get softer or harder.   Shallow Hearts Luke 8:13   These are the hearers who seem to be converted but never get grounded in the faith.   They are living on an emotional high and a state of spiritual euphoria.   Perhaps they have experienced a supernatural touch from God.   Faith that cannot be tested is faith that cannot be trusted.   Christianity is Christ!   “Christianity has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.” —G.K. Chesterton   Some people are simply impulsive by nature. Some people fall away because they have built their faith on the wrong foundation.   Some people fall away because of persecution.   Mark 4:17 (NLT) But since they don't have deep roots, they don't last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God's word.   2 Timothy 3:12 (NKJV) Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.   Some people fall away because unbelief set in, causing them to doubt God at the first emotional low.   Infested Hearts Luke 8:14   Second best is often the worst enemy of the best.   Excessive worry can crowd out spiritual growth. Mark 4:19   We live in a time when people are obsessed with extending their lives.   God determines the length of our lives. Job 14:5   Fruitful Hearers Luke 8:15   The golden key to spiritual growth is how you hear and respond to God’s word.   Mark 4:20 (NLT) “Those who hear and accept God's word.”   The difference isn’t exposure to the word. It’s what the heart does once it lands.   The Bible is everywhere, but it’s not in our hearts.   The issue is not access. It’s appetite.   Luke 12:48 (NIV) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.   The hardest thing about studying the Bible is sitting down and opening it.   Standing the test of time, finishing the spiritual life well, is not a mystery. It is maintaining a close and vibrant relationship with Christ.   Read the Bible daily. Pray about things. Go to church regularly. Share your faith. — 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.

Discipleship: The Next Step in Following Jesus | Growing Together in FaithDiscipleship: The Next Step in Following Jesus | Growing Together in FaithThere’s a good chance you’ve seen a two-man saw. With handles on both sides, it’s an excellent example of teamwork. One man pushes, the other man pulls – and then vice versa. Some of those saws were 12 feet long. The Christian life has many examples of teamwork, and today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus on discipleship. It addresses the push n’ pull of daily life as a believer – where a new believer and a veteran believer each have something to offer the other.

Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we tutor new believers through a process called “discipleship.” It’s a process of spiritual duplication where older believers give the younger an example to follow, a paradigm for success.

The King the World Needs | Sunday MessageThe King the World Needs | Sunday MessageThe most patriotic thing you can do this month is have a broken heart for the 330 million people who need a Savior. Notes: Psalm 127:1 (NKJV) Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.   2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Luke 19:40 (NKJV) But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” A nation where the gospel can be freely preached is worth fighting for.    Jesus came to deal with sin. He came to bring spiritual restoration. He came to rule as an Eternal King.   The Terms of Peace Luke 19:41–44   Matthew 23:37–38 (NKJV) “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate.”   Luke 19:42 (NKJV) “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.”   “Jesus knew that their desire for a political Messiah would bring total destruction in less than a generation.”  —David Guzik   The most patriotic thing you can do today is to have a broken heart for the 330 million people who need a Savior.   Read Luke 19:45-48   Cleansing the Temple Luke 19:45–48   The revolution Jesus came to start was never going to begin in the halls of government. It has always started with His people.   “To the distinguished Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more distinguished Character of Christian.”  —George Washington 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.    Are we desperate enough?   America is not an accident, and her best days will not be determined in Washington; it will be by all of us.   Psalm 139:23–24 (NKJV) Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my thoughts; And see if [there is any] wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Hope for America | Sunday MessageHope for America | Sunday MessageSome things seem impossible. But with God, nothing is. Even our nation, which seems so filled with darkness, can change with the Lord. Yes, there is hope for America. And it starts with Christians. Christians are salt and light. Salt preserves. Salt stimulates thirst. Light exposes darkness and shows the way out. And as salt and light, Christians must infiltrate culture, not isolate. Christians are not called to evade, but invade. And who knows? You may be the only representative of Jesus some people will ever see! They may never read the Bible, but they’ll read your life. Notes: Some things just seem impossible. But with God, nothing is impossible.   Our country is in a state of moral and spiritual crisis.   We have two options before us as a nation: judgment or revival.   Read Matthew 5:13–16 (NKJV)   The world needs salt because it is corrupt and light because it is dark.    This world will get worse before it gets better. 2 Timothy 3:13   Sometimes Christians try to isolate.   Jesus has not called us to isolate, but to infiltrate. Not to evade but to invade.   Jesus is sending us into the world.    Before the American Revolution, there was spiritual revelation.   The American Revolution worked because it was rooted in spiritual and biblical principles.   “To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian”.  —George Washington   “The Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”  —John Adams   We must stand for truth, whether it is popular or not.   To reach our culture, we must use a language people understand.   1 Corinthians 9:22–23   We need to bring them the message of the gospel.   2 Corinthians 2:14–15   But before we can effectively tell them, we must first live it.   Salt Preserves The main function of salt in Jesus’ day was preservation.   Christians, like salt, are also here to preserve.   Salt Stimulates Thirst As we live godly lives, we make other people thirsty for God.   We cannot stimulate spiritual thirst in others if we have lost our own.   We cannot be used by God to stop the corruption of sin in others if sin has corrupted us. Matthew 5:13   Jesus first says we are to be salt, then He says we are to be light.   Salt is hidden, whereas light is obvious. Salt works secretly while light works openly. Salt works from within, but light works from without.   Salt works primarily through our living, while light works through what we say to others.   Light exposes the darkness.   You are the only representative of Jesus Christ that many nonbelievers will ever see.   We need to infiltrate, not isolate, being both salt and light.    We need to pray. 2 Chronicles 7:14   We need to preach the gospel message.   There is hope for America, and there is hope for you.   Hebrews 4:7(b) If you can hear His voice, harden not your heart.

God Keeps His Promises | Restoring the FallenGod Keeps His Promises | Restoring the FallenTo borrow from Mark Twain, “bad news can travel halfway around the world, while good news is still putting on its shoes.” When an influential believer falls into sin, it seems like we hear about it at the speed of light. But how do we reach out to someone who’s helped us, when they’re the ones who need help? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that question today on A NEW BEGINNING. We’re considering a story about Noah in the book of Genesis. This godly man sinned. But we can learn from this biblical account.

God Keeps His Promises | Keeping God FirstGod Keeps His Promises | Keeping God FirstSo many of us spend so little time thinking about the Lord during the day, and yet we want to live with Him forever. God’s Word has a bottomless supply of insights for life, but social media captures so much more of most people’s attention.

The Writing Is On the Wall | Immovable FaithThe Writing Is On the Wall | Immovable FaithBe steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. That was an exhortation from the Apostle Paul in First Corinthians. We DO the work of the Lord, and we’re to BE steadfast and immovable.

P.S. I Love You | Standing on the Solid RockP.S. I Love You | Standing on the Solid RockA ship’s captain approaching a foggy seaport will navigate based on the light from the lighthouse, not from the light of other boats.

Don't Carry What God Can Handle | Sunday MessageDon't Carry What God Can Handle | Sunday MessageMany of us are carrying burdens God never intended us to carry. We carry worry, fear, anxiety, guilt, and more. Prayer is God's invitation to transfer those burdens from our shoulders to His. The Bible says “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). Prayer is not informing God of something He doesn't know. Prayer is inviting God into something we can't handle. Notes: Luke 18    As God’s child, you don’t need a badge to reach Him.   Hebrews 10:19 (NLT) And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.   Prayer is the Christian’s secret weapon.   There is a right and a wrong way to pray.   Prayer is God’s invitation to transfer those burdens He never intended for us to carry from our shoulders to His.   God cares about your problem.   1Peter 5:7 (NKJV) Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.    Jehosaphat called the people together for prayer. 2 Chronicles 20:12   God is bigger than your problem.   2 Chronicles 20:6 (NLT) “O LORD, God of our ancestors, you alone are the God who is in heaven. You are ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth. You are powerful and mighty; no one can stand against you!”   Prayer is inviting God into something we can’t handle.   God has His perfect timing.   Read Luke 18:1–8   We need to be persistent in our prayer. Luke 18:1 We all have a choice as to what we will do and to whom we will turn when a crisis hits. We can lose heart or we can pray.   We should pray simply because Jesus told us to.   We should pray because prayer is God’s appointed way for obtaining things.   James 4:2 You have not because you ask not.   Luke 11:9 Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and it will be opened to you.   Prayer is the way God helps us to overcome our anxiety and worry.   Philippians 4:6 (NLT) Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.   Philippians 4:7 (NLT) Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.   Worry is not a virtue but can actually be a sin.   Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.   The judge was the powerful one; the widow was the weaker one.   Our loving Father in Heaven is the very opposite of this judge. Luke 18:7   The widowed woman had persistence and a just cause, and that was enough. We have something far greater, a Heavenly Father who already wants to help us.   Every prayer is answered: Yes, No, Wait.   Read Luke 18:9–14   We look on the outside, God looks on the inside. 1 Samuel 16:7   The most religious man in the room went home empty, and the man nobody wanted to sit next to went home justified before God. Some will use prayer as an opportunity to: Brag. Gossip. Impress.   Attitude is so very important in prayer.   If we pray selfishly, it can hinder our prayers. James 4:2–3   An unforgiving attitude toward another can hinder our prayers. Matthew 6:15   We must confess our sin to God.   How do we approach God? Like the widow, with persistence. Like the tax collector, with humility. Like little children.   Read Luke 18:15–17   Luke 18:16 Let the little children come to me   The objective of every parent is to bring their children to Christ.   God sees things differently than we do. The weak widow is strong because she prays with persistence. The sinful man’s prayer is heard because he admits his sin. The child is an example for us to follow in approaching God.   To be childlike means we come with complete honesty to God.   Children come with complete helplessness.   We must come in complete dependence on God to be saved and forgiven.   Children know how to receive a gift.   Come like a child to Jesus right now.   Worry is strangling you, guilt is crushing you, and fear won’t let you sleep.   Jesus said, “Come unto me all who are burdened with life.”   Come to Jesus as you are, a sinner, and become His child.

When Love Moves In, Fear Moves Out | Love That Brings Us HomeWhen Love Moves In, Fear Moves Out | Love That Brings Us HomeNot many people come into the Kingdom because they were sufficiently brow-beaten by someone sharing their faith. Few have surrendered to Christianity simply because they lost a fiery religious debate. The Bible tells us “His kindness leads us to repentance.” God’s love can soften the hardest of hearts. God’s mercy beckons those who’ve lost their way. And coming up today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn to put the Lord’s compassion into practice.

Packing for Eternity | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)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!

Off Leash | Sunday Message (Jonathan Laurie)Off Leash | Sunday Message (Jonathan Laurie)Notes: Luke 17 God gives us biblical principles to free us from our three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil.   The freedom that the world offers is slavery.    Read Luke 17:1–2 (NKJV)   Your Influence Is Never Neutral.   Matthew 12:30 (NKJV) "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” You cannot impress people and bless people at the same time.   Parents, your greatest mission field is inside your own home.     Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NKJV) "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”   Luke 17:2 (NLT) It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.   1 Corinthians 10:31–32 (NLT) So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Don't give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God.   1 Corinthians 10:33 (NLT) I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don't just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.   1 Corinthians 11:1 (NLT) And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.   Repent! Turn from the shortcomings and follow God’s will.   Ask God to forgive you and to strengthen you so you won't fail.   Luke 17:3 (NKJV) Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.   Luke 17:4 (NKJV) And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him.   Forgive As You’ve Been Forgiven.   Proverbs 27:5–6 (NKJV) Open rebuke is better Than love carefully concealed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.   Luke 6:37 (NKJV) Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.   To forgive means to release someone from a debt.   Luke 17:5 (NKJV) And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."   Luke 17:6 (NKJV) So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.   The Right Faith   We don’t need more faith; we need a deeper understanding of what faith in God can accomplish.   Read Luke 17:7–10 (NKJV)   It’s Not Always About You.   Jesus is the central figure in all human history, in all of creation.   Acts 20:22–23 (NLT) And now I am bound by the Spirit to go to Jerusalem. I don't know what awaits me, except that the Holy Spirit tells me in city after city that jail and suffering lie ahead.   Acts 20:24 (NLT) But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.   Matthew 6:3–5 (NLT) When you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.   When we obey God, it’s liberating, it’s freedom, and it’s revolutionary.

What Happens One Minute After You Die? | Sunday MessageWhat Happens One Minute After You Die? | Sunday Message“What happens one minute after you die?” Jesus answered it plainly in Luke 16. Listen in to today's message from Pastor Greg Laurie. Notes: Luke 16    Everyone will die and enter the afterlife. Ecclesiastes 3:1–2   Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV) And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.     What happens one minute after you die? If you are a Christian, you go to heaven.   2 Corinthians 5:8 To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.   Philippians 1:23 “I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.”   What happens to the nonbeliever when they die?    Most people do not think they will go to hell.   Matthew 7:13 (NKJV) Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad [is] the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.   Matthew 7:14 (NKJV) Because narrow is the gate and difficult [is] the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.   If we believe the Bible, most people today are not headed to heaven.   The very word “hell” is so misused that people do not even understand its meaning.   Jesus spent more time talking about hell than any other preacher.   Jesus gives us three things we need to know about what hell is actually like.   Read Luke 16:19–22   Jesus tells a true story about two men: one owning everything, yet possessing nothing, the other owning nothing and inheriting everything.   We get a behind-the-scenes look at the eternal future of the nonbeliever.   Read Luke 16:22–31   The sin of the rich man in Hell was not his wealth, but his heart. He was possessed by his possessions. Luke 16:19    Sin is pleasurable for a season, but then it brings death.   The rich man was living the good life with no concern for anything or anyone but himself.   The rich man was not ushered into Heaven like Lazarus.   The rich man’s sin was disregard for the spiritual, revealed in his prideful flaunting of resources and his neglect of a starving, disabled man at his door.    You can build an empire, fill every room with every award, and still arrive at eternity completely unprepared.   People in Hell suffer.   Nonbelievers don’t go to purgatory, soul sleep, or reincarnation.   Nonbelievers go to Hell and eventually to the Lake of Fire.    God invented Hell because He is a God of love and justice.   Once you enter the afterlife, you cannot change your location.   We decide in this life where we will spend the afterlife.   There are no chances after death, but millions before.   You cannot communicate from the other side.   In the afterlife, you are conscious and fully aware of where you are.   Just as there is memory in Heaven, there is also memory in hell. Luke 16:28   If you are born once, you will die twice. If you are born twice, you will die once.   Often, Christians are reluctant to mention Hell out of fear that they might offend someone.   To promise heaven and not warn of hell, to offer forgiveness without repentance, to preach the gospel without the cross, this is a false message giving false hope.   If we really love people, we need to tell the truth about eternity.   Jude 1:22 Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.   Jude 1:23a Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment.   Read Luke 19:29–31   Jesus did many miracles, and many did not believe.   The gospel is a universal declaration that Hell is not God’s desire for anyone.   The road to Hell is paved with excuses.   God has a much better plan for you. It’s called Heaven!   What happens one minute after you die? If you are a believer in Jesus, you go to Heaven. If you reject His offer, you send yourself to Hell.

Luke 16:19    Sin is pleasurable for a season, but then it brings death.   The rich man was living the good life with no concern for anything or anyone but himself.   The rich man was not ushered into Heaven like Lazarus.   The rich man’s sin was disregard for the spiritual, revealed in his prideful flaunting of resources and his neglect of a starving, disabled man at his door.    You can build an empire, fill every room with every award, and still arrive at eternity completely unprepared.   People in Hell suffer.   Nonbelievers don’t go to purgatory, soul sleep, or reincarnation.   Nonbelievers go to Hell and eventually to the Lake of Fire.    God invented Hell because He is a God of love and justice.   Once you enter the afterlife, you cannot change your location.   We decide in this life where we will spend the afterlife.   There are no chances after death, but millions before.   You cannot communicate from the other side.   In the afterlife, you are conscious and fully aware of where you are.   Just as there is memory in Heaven, there is also memory in hell. Luke 16:28   If you are born once, you will die twice. If you are born twice, you will die once.   Often, Christians are reluctant to mention Hell out of fear that they might offend someone.   To promise heaven and not warn of hell, to offer forgiveness without repentance, to preach the gospel without the cross, this is a false message giving false hope.   If we really love people, we need to tell the truth about eternity.   Jude 1:22 Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.   Jude 1:23a Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment.   Read Luke 19:29–31   Jesus did many miracles, and many did not believe.   The gospel is a universal declaration that Hell is not God’s desire for anyone.   The road to Hell is paved with excuses.   God has a much better plan for you. It’s called Heaven!   What happens one minute after you die? If you are a believer in Jesus, you go to Heaven. If you reject His offer, you send yourself to Hell.

The Eldest Son | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)The Eldest Son | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)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 Robe The 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 Ring The son had the righteousness of the father, and a full restoration of identity and authority to make decisions and give directives.   The Sandals The father restored the son, saying you belong here, and you’re equipped for the road ahead.   The Feast This 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 Brother Luke 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 Brother Romans 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.

Tips for Reaching Your Family with the GospelTips for Reaching Your Family with the GospelIn 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.
