After Jesus Revolution | Pastor Greg Laurie Tells the Story of His Father

Some tend to think that God only uses perfect people . . . people with no blindspots, no failings, no shortcomings. But the more we study the Bible, the more we see how God used imperfect people to do remarkable things for His Kingdom. How can we be the kind of person God is looking for? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that today here on A NEW BEGINNING as we examine the life of a great leader of Israel who God chose personally, over and above other candidates who appeared more impressive.

The Man After God's Heart | Imperfect People, Remarkable Purpose

As a tax collector, Matthew was one of society's most looked down upon. But Jesus still called him to be His follower.

Notes:
Focus verse: Luke 5:27–32

#1 Jesus sees Matthew.
Luke 5:27

Theaomai means to have an intent look at something, to take something in with one’s eyes, with implication that one is especially impressed, see, look at, behold.

#2 Jesus sees you.
2 Chronicles 16:9

The acceptance and inclusion of Matthew is a picture of the redeeming power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Jesus knows your story and He knows your potential.

#3 Jesus calls us to see others.
Luke 5:29–32

Jesus meets you where you are.

82% of non-believers would go to church if they were invited by a friend or family member.

The miracle is that God called that person to Himself, and you were able to be an instrument in His hand.

Jesus sees you.

Jesus says, “Follow Me, and be My disciple.”

Jesus and the Outcast | Sunday Message

We see the social media posts of certain friends and marvel at how great their life is. Lunch on the beach in Cabo. Sipping a hot chocolate in a ski chalet in Aspen. Social media has become a collection of highlight reels – because people want to look good. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out God follows you . . . no, not on social media, in real life. And He’s most impressed by the things that would never show up in a highlight reel.
