A New Beginning with Greg Laurie
Pastor Greg Laurie talks plain truth in a style everyday Aussies can relate to. Using (often funny) stories and straight talk from the Word, he'll help you know God and make Him known. Greg Laurie is Senior Pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. He began his pastoral ministry at age 19 by leading a Bible study of 30 people. Since then, God has transformed that small group into one of the largest churches in America. In 1990, Greg began holding public evangelistic events called Harvest Crusades. Since that time, more than 4 million people have attended Harvest Crusades across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Ps Greg is the featured speaker of Harvest Ministry's radio program, A New Beginning, heard daily on Vision.

The God Who Suffers - II - 29 December 2020
As Jesus hung from the cross at Calvary, in excruciating pain, it took great effort to speak even a single word. It took great effort even to breathe. And yet he uttered seven final statements, each word carefully chosen, each thought embedded with deep insight. Pastor Greg Laurie helps us examine those final words, and we’ll see they have tremendous meaning for how we live our lives.

Waiting for Christmas - I - 24 December 2020
So much talk at this time of year about gifts. Pastor Greg Laurie points out a deep yearning we all have deep down inside? It is not Christmas, its Christ. It’s not merriment, it’s the Messiah.

A Messed Up Family Tree - II - 23 December 2020
Not everyone in the Christmas story gets equal billing. Of course, there’s the Christ-child and Mary, and the Shepherds. There’s the Wise Men, evil King Herod, and the innkeeper. But often times, Joseph, who was betrothed to Mary, is barely mentioned. A key decision he made actually put everything in motion in bringing God incarnate to earth. Pastor Greg Laurie helps us to see how Joseph, and other often-overlooked family members, figure in to God’s plan. Support the show: https://harvest.org/re...

A Messed Up Family Tree - I - 22 December 2020
The story of Jesus is not about God helping perfect people, it’s about God saving lost people.

The Power of One, Part 2 - 17 December 2020
People who attend class reunions are often surprised. Sometimes, the more popular people way back when have lost that prominence, and the prominent people today were the wallflowers years ago. And that’s not really random or accidental. It has to do with the choices they made. Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the choices we make in how we serve God will affect the here and now, and will also likely affect the hereafter as well. We’ll learn to choose well.

The Power of One, Part 1 - 16 December 2020
The culture’s problems are so varied, and so vast. Who are we to think we can make a difference? Pastor Greg Laurie corrects our thinking. It’s been said, quote, ’I am only one but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do ? and what I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.’ One godly man, one godly woman, in the darkest situation can make a big difference!

It is All How You Look at Things - II - 10 December 2020
Faith and worry cannot co-exist together. When faith walks in, worry walks out. It’s been said, 'when you trust, you do not worry; and when you worry, you do not trust.' There are so many opportunities for worry in our lives, especially in 2020, yet Pastor Greg Laurie says we have at least as many opportunities to trust God with great faith.

A Blessing for You - II - 8 December 2020
We need God’s grace because we sin every day. Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God’s grace, along with His mercy, keep us from paying the penalty dictated by His justice.

The Heart of the Problem - II - 2 December 2020
At various times, we all come down with a case of the 'gimmes' - gimme this, gimme that. And nearly every advertisement feeds that craving. A new car, a new phone, a new outfit. Pastor Greg Laurie points out the biblical reference to coveting goes even beyond the gimmes. 'I don’t just want one...I want YOURS.' And it’s addressed in the 10 Commandments.

God hates lying, because He is the source of, and the very personification of, truth. In contrast to Jesus, we have the Devil who’s described in the Bible as the father of lies. So, when we lie, we’re behaving more like children of the enemy. Pastor Greg Laurie says it shows something disturbing about our character.
