In scholastic debates, they keep score. It’s a competition, and each side wants to win big. All too often, believers think sharing their faith is some kind of competitive debate. If they can score enough points, they win . . . and the other person automatically comes to Christ. But that approach can suddenly end the conversation, and even end the friendship. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we’re to win souls, not debates. Good encouragement coming today.

Evangelism Jesus-Style | Winning Hearts for Christ

It’s the day we celebrate God incarnate, the baby Jesus born in a humble stable. It was a miraculous birth . . . on many levels. And yet the simple circumstances masked the enormity of how deity came to dwell among humanity. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us connect the past and the future as we consider how Jesus could return at any time. His return will be no less miraculous. And today, a lesson on “patient expectation.”

Jesus and the Expectant | Awaiting His Return

In any gathering, there are a few people in the spotlight, so to speak, and there are a few on the periphery. Those in the spotlight may seem like the most interesting people in the room, but those on the periphery sometimes have the most fascinating stories. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the birth of Christ and helps us meet a couple of people who seem to be on the periphery of the story, but who have much to teach us about having a love for Christ.

Jesus and the Expectant | Love from the Margins

Follow anyone on social media? People choose their favorites — travel bloggers, DIY geniuses, chefs who can cook practically anything with practically nothing. (And yes, Pastor Greg Laurie is on all the major platforms, too.) But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg points out a similar choice in the Christmas story. When Jesus was born, some people hit “follow” right away, and others just scrolled on by. And believe it or not, that same decision is still in front of us today.

Jesus and the Ones Who Listened | The Choice of a Lifetime

Is it that God didn’t know how to stage a spectacular entrance for His Son? The God who created heaven and earth, hung the stars in the sky, and summons forth thunder and lightning. Was the heavenly event planner on vacation the day Jesus was born in a humble stable? No, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the birth of Christ happened quietly, with little fanfare, and revealed to the least likely. It was on purpose . . . and it speaks of our purpose.

Jesus and the Ones Who Listened | The Quiet Arrival

The true Christmas story is far more powerful—and far more personal—than the version we often see wrapped in sentiment and tradition. Through Luke 2, Pastor Greg looks at how Christmas has been romanticized and even sidelined, yet the real story remains explosive: God stepped out of Heaven and into human history.

Notes:

Taking Christmas Back

Luke 2

 

The real Christmas story is explosive.

That’s because the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.

 

Christmas has been hijacked.

 

Christmas has been emptied of its meaning.

 

Portland, Oregon just had its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

 

Christmas has perhaps been far too romanticized even by well-meaning Christians.

 

The beauty of the true Christmas story has explosive power.

 

The night when God Himself came to this earth.

 

The first Christmas is when God stepped out of Heaven and entered history.

 

Mary was living in Nazareth, a town known for its wickedness.

 

Mary was a nobody in a nothing town in the middle of nowhere.

 

The angel Gabriel had announced to Mary that she would be the mother of the Messiah.

 

Luke 1:28–30 (NLT)

Gabriel appeared to her and said, "Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!"

Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean.

"Don't be afraid, Mary," the angel told her, "for you have found favor with God!

 

Read Luke 2:1–7

 

Joseph is the unsung hero of the Christmas story.

 

God’s selection of Joseph was just as significant as His selection of Mary.

God, the Father in Heaven, chose Joseph to be a stepfather or father figure on earth for Jesus.

 

Jesus grew up in many ways like any other child.

 

We are in danger of becoming a fatherless society in America.

 

That’s why Joseph matters.

 

Hearing that Mary was pregnant, Joseph was willing to simply “put her away quietly,” to break the engagement.

 

But the angel of the Lord came to Joseph, too.

 

Matthew 1:20–21 (NKJV)

But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins."

 

Luke is very meticulous in his reporting.

 

Luke was not an eyewitness to the life of Jesus.

 

He carefully researched and had first-person interviews with the principal characters of the story.

It was his desire to bring a historical and accurate record of the life of Jesus.

 

These are not fairy tales or legends Luke invented.

Luke 1:3

 

Caesar Augustus was the first real Roman emperor.

His real name was Caius Octavius.

 

The Roman Republic was now the Roman Empire.

 

One inscription that was found called Augustus Caesar “the savior of the whole world.”

 

Luke 2:11–12 (NKJV)

"For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."

 

The angel was saying, “Augustus is not the savior of Rome, Jesus is.”

 

In a time when man wanted to be God, God became a man.

 

God incarnate born on the dirt floor of a filthy cave.

 

God became a fetus. Deity in diapers.

 

Babies are so amazing and so helpless.

You have to cradle their heads.

 

“It was clearly a leap down— as if the Son of God rose from his splendor, stood poised on the rim of the universe irradiating light, and dove headlong, speeding through the stars over the Milky Way to earth’s galaxy . . . where he plunged into a huddle of animals. Nothing could be lower.” — R. Kent Hughes

 

This symbolized Jesus’s whole life on this earth, from the cradle to the cross.

 

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV)

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

 

Luke 2:7 (NKJV)

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

 

That phrase became emblematic of Jesus’s life and ministry on earth.

 

Christ said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions.”

 

We didn’t have any room for Him, but He has many rooms for us.

 

We effectively lose Jesus at Christmas.

 

We say things like, “I would like to go to church, but I’m just too busy.”

 

When Mary and Joseph got back home, they realized Jesus was gone.

 

This can happen to us, too.

Not that we lose our salvation, but we can lose sight of Jesus.

 

It’s not about Christmas presents but His Christmas presence.

 

The message of Christmas is, “let us worship.”

 

We need a savior because we are sinners.

Evangelism Jesus-Style | Kindle the Fire

Ever try to run up a downward escalator? Sounds silly, but kids try it all the time, just to see if they can. When we try to fight against the lures of temptation on our own strength, we’re running up a downward escalator. The momentum against us is just too much. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us change escalators and embrace the power and provision of God through prayer. When we’re moving in the same direction as the Spirit of God, the journey is much easier.
