Greg & Cathe Laurie on Having a Godly Relationship

When a pilot’s in a bad mood, is he allowed to re-route all his Toronto-bound passengers to Hawaii, just for kicks? No. If a firefighter is feeling a little down, is he allowed to take his sweet time responding to a fire? No. We do the right thing no matter how we feel. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, from the story of Jonah, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how to look beyond our feelings to the faithfulness of God. We’ll find hope in hopeless situations.

Never Lose Hope | Beyond Our Feelings

They’ll know we’re Christians by . . . our protests? By . . . our self-righteousness? By . . . all the things we’re against? Sometimes it might seem that way. Jesus actually said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us reevaluate how our faith is seen by others. Is it off-putting . . . or irresistible? As we consider the bad example of the prophet Jonah, we’ll ask ourselves if our witness is working.

Getting Through the Storms of Life | How Are We Known?

Scripture reveals we were not only created on purpose, but for a purpose. And while that purpose may bring opposition, it also brings authority and sends us forward.

Notes:

Luke 4
  
Why do you exist?
Why were you created?
 
The Bible says we were not only created on purpose,
but that we were created for a purpose.
 
Luke 1:3 (NLT)
 
Luke 1:4 (NLT)
 
What is God’s purpose?
 
Luke 4:14–30
 
#1 Purpose Brings Opposition
 
Before you accomplish the purpose of God, you need to have the Spirit of God.
 
Hebrews 4:15 (NKJV)

Luke 4:18–19 (NKJV)
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD."
 
Jesus doesn’t just bring comfort.
He claims authority.
He is the Messiah.
 
Luke 4:30 (NKJV)
Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
 
Luke 4:30 (MSG)
But He gave them the slip and was on His way.
 
Living for God’s purpose brings opposition.
 
Live for God’s purposes rather than your own.
 
Luke 4:31–37
 
#2 Purpose Carries Authority
 
Opposition is confirmation that we are on the right track.
 
Sometimes opposition is correction.
Sometimes opposition is immaturity.
Sometimes opposition has consequences.
 
"The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to Him."
—D.L. Moody
 
But Jesus isn’t just authoritative, He’s compassionate.
He’s not just powerful, He’s loving and merciful.
 
Luke 4:38–44
 
#3 Purpose Sends You Forward
 
Jesus had authority in the synagogue,
compassion in the home, and
mercy in the streets.
 
Luke 4:43 (NKJV)
but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent."
 
What is your purpose?
