Is God Real? | Sunday Message (Guest Speaker: Lee Strobel) Dec 03, 2023

Show notes

Help us share the gospel in 2024!

Guest speaker—and leading apologetic in America—Lee Strobel brings a powerful message discussing evidence for God’s existence. Listen in to expand your knowledge on spiritual topics, not only for yourself, but for future conversations with nonbelievers.

Notes:

1. Cosmology: The Origin of the Universe

Whatever begins to exist has a cause.

The universe began to exist.

Therefore, the universe has a cause.

Genesis 1:1 (NIV)

Transcendent, spirit, eternal, powerful, smart, personal, creative, caring, and unique.

2. Physics: The Numbers Behind the Universe

Psalm 19:1 (NIV)

“The exquisite order displayed by our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the divine.” —Dr. Vera Kistiakowski, physics professor, MIT, and president of the Association of Women in Science

3. The Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:17 (NIV)

Jesus was definitely alive at Point A.

“Jesus did exist, whether we like it or not.” —Agnostic Historian Bart Ehrman

Jesus was surely dead at Point B.

“Clearly the weight of the historical and medical evidence indicates that Jesus was dead [even] before the wound to his side was inflicted.” —Journal of the American Medical Association

Jesus was alive again at Point C.

His tomb was empty.

His disciples were convinced He appeared to them.

“I say unequivocally that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt.” —Sir Lionel Luckhoo

John 1:12 (NASB)

Believe + Receive = Become

“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)

“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13 (NASB)

There’s so much evil in the world, it’s hard to wrap our minds around it.

And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us understand what’s to come, and how the Lord wants us to respond to that information. And we need to remember, ultimately, the battle belongs to the Lord, and we know Who wins in the end!

Show notes

Missed Giving Tuesday? You can still make a gift! Just go to givingtuesday.harvest.org

When we hear about the Rapture, how we’ll meet the Lord in a heartbeat, our first reaction might be, “Let’s go!” But when we think about all the loved ones who haven’t come to Christ yet, our second response might be, “Can we wait just a bit longer?” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us understand the Rapture and its part in the Lord’s grand Last Days plan. It’s a dramatic moment to be sure, but that’s only part of the startling things to come according to God’s Word.

Reflecting on the Past, Preparing for the Future | Sunday Message Nov 26, 2023

Show notes

Pastor Greg Laurie delivers important points on God’s faithfulness and our faith in Him.

Notes:

Two words stand out in our 50-year history: Faithfulness and faith. The faithfulness of God and our response of faith to His calling.

Jesus promised to the church: “The gates of Hell shall not prevail against us.”

God has remained faithful to lead, protect, and guide us each step of the way.
