Classic Replay | A Visit with an American Hero: The Story of Louis Zamperini Part 2

So many of us spend so little time thinking about the Lord during the day, and yet we want to live with Him forever. God’s Word has a bottomless supply of insights for life, but social media captures so much more of most people’s attention. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues our Genesis series, we’ll see how Noah remembered the Lord—it was his priority—after reaching dry land following the Flood. We’ll learn a number of principles from following the life of this great patriarch!

God Keeps His Promises | Prioritizing the Lord

When you have to walk a ways in the snow, sometimes it’s easiest to use the same footprints on your way back. They’re easy enough to see. What footprints do we leave in our lives that allow our adversary the easiest access to our thoughts and actions? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series in Genesis, we’ll see the enemy is always on the prowl, looking for his next target. But we’ll learn practical principles for locking the Devil out . . . leaving him out in the cold.

God's Solution to Man's Problem | The Danger of Envy

“...But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help” (Psalm 31:22). How often has that been true for you, too? Psalm 31 puts the overwhelming goodness of God on display, reminding us of who He is in hardship we face. Get more insight into this psalm now with Pastor Greg Laurie.

Notes:

Today's Scripture: Psalm 31

God determines the length of your life.

God was preparing David to be a king, the greatest of Israel’s kings.

The most important thing about this king is, he would be in the Messianic line.

Acts 13:22

Overall, David did everything God wanted him to do, not flawlessly but faithfully.

“I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, for You have considered my trouble and You have known my soul in adversities.” Psalm 31:7

Sometimes the ones you help the most hurt you the worst.

Sometimes fellow believers will criticize you when God begins to bless you.

People are going to hurt you in life, and you will hurt people as well.

“God allows us to feel the frailty of human love so we’ll appreciate the strength of His.” —C.S. Lewis

Forgiveness doesn’t mean condoning bad behavior or dismissing it.

To forgive means, “surrendering the right to get even.”

When you face tragedy, when you face hardship, the church is there for you.

When people are hurting, they just need someone to be with them.

God is in control of our lives, and He determines how long we will live.
Psalm 31:14–15

God has a beautiful future for you.
Jeremiah 29:11

Get your eyes off your problems and put them on God!
Psalm 31:23–24

Put your hope in God.
Psalm 119:114; Romans 15:4

“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God, you’ll be at rest.” —Corrie ten Boom

“Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.” Psalm 27:14

As Christians, we are indestructible until God is done with us.

You decide in this life where you will spend the afterlife.
