- 794So What? | Sunday MessageHow should we live in light of what we know about the end times? Pastor Greg Laurie shares the answer as we wrap up our series we’re calling "The Future Is Written." Notes: Focus verse: Luke 12 An understanding of End Times teaching will cause us to live Godly lives. What you believe about End Times will affect the way you live in these times. If our belief in the imminent return of Christ does not affect our lifestyles, we have completely missed the point. D.L. Moody was once asked, “If you knew the Lord would return tonight, how would you spend the rest of the day?” Moody replied without hesitation, “I wouldn’t do anything different than I do every day.” What should I be doing in light of the fact that Jesus could come at any moment? Read: Luke 12:35–38 We should be shining lights in a dark place.Luke 12:35 To gird your waist simply meant, “to tighten your belt.” To have their lamps burning meant, they would have sufficient oil in them. As the culture gets darker, we need to shine brighter. We are to be watching for Him.Luke 12:37 We are to be ready to go. We should not only be ready but be anxiously awaiting His return.Luke 12:36 We are not only anxiously waiting but we are also working.Luke 12:43 We will never share the gospel if we don’t care about lost people.People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. The gospel, by its design, is meant to be shared with others. We can evangelize or fossilize. Luke 12:45–46 The easiest place to get a hardened heart is in the church. The easiest place to get a hardened heart is where you hear the Word of God being taught.The same sun that softens the wax, hardens the clay. Luke 12:47 Jesus is coming! --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

- 795What Is a Disciple? | Embracing DiscipleshipOne of the classic, old CCM songs of days gone by was called Two Hands, by Love Song. The song said “with one hand reach out to Jesus, with the other, bring a friend.” That’s a pretty good description of discipleship in a nutshell. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us follow the Lord wholeheartedly, and show others how to do the same. We’ll learn how to embrace the very purpose we’re here: to have fellowship with God, and to bring others into that fellowship. Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27! Get details here.

- 796The Disciplines of a Disciple | Applying and Sharing God's TruthsChristian disciples are in the import/export business. No, it’s not Persian rugs or spices from India. It’s truth from Heaven. God’s Word gives us everything we need to know to grow as committed followers of the Lord. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it’s up to us to import those truths into our lives, and then look for opportunities to export those principles into the lives of those in our circle of influence. These are “disciplines of discipleship.” Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27! Get details here.

- 798Just Do It | The Importance of Personal DiscipleshipEver been hunting for something in one of those big-box stores . . . and you feel like you’ve been walking forever?

The words you want to hear are, “C’mon, I’ll take you there.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains that new believers need that kind of assistance. We need to show them the way.

- 799Just Do It | Embracing the Job of DiscipleshipGod has given each of us a job. It’s an important job. But we probably spend a lot more time at the job that’s printed on our business card than engaged in the job God has given us.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, some practical insight on how to do that job well. The job is discipleship . . . and we all have been called to that privilege. Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27!

- 806How to Be Happy, Part 2 | Christian PersecutionWhat’s the proof that we’re part of the body of Christ? Is there a membership card, a secret handshake, an insignia we wear on our clothing?

- 811How to (and How Not to) Pray | The Importance of Intentional PrayerThink of the conversations you have with a good friend of yours.

We’ll look to the words of Jesus Himself and find a way to set ourselves free from that bondage. We’ll see forgiveness sets a person free. Not the perpetrator, the victim.
