Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

 Jesus and the Mother Who Wouldn’t Give Up | Sunday Message

We know Jesus is coming back. We don’t know when. The Bible even tells us that none of us knows the day or the hour. But it also advises us to be ready. It’ll come suddenly and could happen when we least expect it. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie welcomes Bible scholar Don Stewart for a revealing discussion of what the Bible says about God’s End Times plan. Although we don’t know the day or the hour of the Rapture, there’s so much we do know. And we’ll talk about that today.

Things to Do Before the End of the World w/Don Stewart | Ready for the Rapture

Many believers start on fire for God—full of awe and excitement—but that often fades with time. In this message, see how we can have an awe that lasts.

Notes:

Luke 8:16–56
  
The problem is when we stop fighting to keep the fire lit.
 
Read Luke 8:16–18 (NKJV)
 
The Secret to Sustained Awe
 
The way you keep your awe alive is by actively receiving and actively sharing the light you've been given.
  
Luke 8:18
“Therefore take heed how you hear.”
 
Read Luke 8:19–21
 
Luke 8:21
“My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
 
Read Luke 8:22–25
 
Storms That Reset
 
Storms expose what we really trust.
 
Storms can also reset our perspectives.
 
Luke 8:25 (NLT)
Then He asked them, “Where is your faith?”
The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When He gives a command, even the wind and waves obey Him!”
 
The storm didn’t reveal how powerful the wind was; it revealed how powerful Jesus was.
 
Every storm we face is an invitation to trust the One who commands the wind and obey Him.
 
Daniel 3:17 (NLT)
“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty.”
 
Daniel 3:18 (NLT)
“But even if he doesn't, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up."
 
Jesus endured the greatest storm, which was taking our sin on the cross.
 
Read Luke 8:26–39 (NKJV)
 
The Awe of Deliverance
 
John 10:10 (NKJV)
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
 
The demons were begging Jesus, because even the powers of hell must submit to the authority of Jesus Christ.
 
Luke 8:37 (NKJV)
Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
 
Luke 8:39
"Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
 
The man who was sitting in spiritual and physical darkness just became a lampstand.
 
Jesus stepped into our darkness so we could:
be forgiven,
be restored,
become children of God.
