Your Failure Isn't Final: Easter from Simon Peter's Perspective

Bible scholars have pointed out that the Bible tells us to fear not about 365 times. 365. Enough for a daily dose of reassurance. And don’t we all need it? Every day, there are plenty of reasons for worry, fear and panic. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Easter season is a great opportunity for a fresh outlook on life and its challenges. All based on the fact that Jesus conquered the grave.

A New Day Dawning | Because He Conquered the Grave

Think of all the things we do to stay alive. We fasten our seat belts. We buy fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. We lock our doors. We wear sunscreen. We take our vitamins and look both ways before we cross the street. We don’t want to die. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how death has already died. We’ll see that’s the central message of Easter, and today we’ll find out that’s our eternal hope.
