Liam Payne's Death: Why Do We Keep Hearing the Same Story?

Wedding experts say some of today’s brides and grooms avoid what they call the “death vow” – “til death do us part.” “Why make a promise you can’t keep?” they say. So you may hear “For as long as we continue to love each other," "For as long as our love shall last" or "Until our time together is over." You can almost see the end from the beginning. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie offers hope for marriages headed in the wrong direction—hope that’ll will restore them to God’s plan.

Hope for Hurting Marriages, Part 1 | A Physical Union with a Spiritual Meaning

Nicodemus was a highly intelligent, cultured, and moral individual. In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie breaks down his conversation with Jesus. It’s not one between rabbi and carpenter, but between God and man.

Notes:
Focus verse: John 2:23–3:16

We all want our lives to matter.

Nicodemus was a highly intelligent, cultured, and moral individual.

This is not a conversation between a rabbi and a carpenter.
It is a conversation between God and man.

Read John 2:23–25

Read John 3:3–10

Jesus saw in Nicodemus a man who was hungry for truth.

Everyone is empty, lonely, and afraid to die.

The true mark of spiritual growth and maturity is not feeling superior but humble.

Nicodemus was the spiritual leader in Israel.

Nicodemus came to Jesus by night.

Better to have a weak beginning and a strong finish than the opposite.

In the end, Nicodemus turned out to be one of the bravest followers of Christ.

John 19:39

The great Nicodemus approached Jesus with great respect.

Being born again is a supernatural act of God making a person spiritually alive
when they were dead in sin.

John 3:16–17

God loves you.
John 3:16

God proved His love by sending His Son.

God’s love is unconditional and universal.

God’s gift of salvation is available for everyone who believes.

To believe is to adhere to, to commit to, to have faith in, to rely upon, to trust in.

Read John 3:19–21

If you are included in the whosoever of John 3:16, then you won't be included in the whosoever of Revelation 20:15.

Jesus will receive and reveal Himself to any person who will come to Him honestly.

Jesus and the Moral Man | Sunday Message

A noted author of children’s books said, “One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again.” It’s true that relationships heat up and cool down over time. But marriage is the constant commitment that remains in place through it all . . . or should be. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to honor this commitment between a man and a woman and their God.
