Jesus gave His life so that we could have life. But why did He do that? Pastor Greg Laurie points us to Scripture in Hebrews, chapter 12: ’For the joy that was set before Him, He endured the cross, despising the shame.’ What was the joy that was set before Him? It was every one of us, so we could be forgiven of our sin.

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.
