SoCal Harvest Trailer | October 3

Whether you're 17 or 71, popular or struggling, put-together or barely hanging on—we all need the same thing. And His name is Jesus. We'll see that in this message from Pastor Greg Laurie!

Notes:

In Luke 8, we meet two very different people with two very different problems.
 
If you feel like your life is falling apart, this story is for you.
 
Read Luke 8:40–48
 
This poor woman had been in poor health for 12 years.
This young girl, who was sick and near death, was 12 years old.
  
Luke 8:41 (NLT)
[Jairus] came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with Him to come home with him.
 
We all should want Jesus to come home with us.
  
Parents: the best thing you can do is get your children to Jesus.
 
Be faithful. Be consistent. Be present.
 
Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NLT)
And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
 
Every young person is looking for three things:
a place to belong,
a purpose to live for,
and to be loved.
 
Jairus had great faith in Christ.
 
Then this woman burst on the scene.
How easily Jairus could have resented this intrusion.
 
Jesus is never late. He is always on time.
 
This woman had been sick for 12 long years with no hope for a cure.
 
Maybe you, too, need a healing touch from Jesus right now.
Reach out to Him as this desperate woman did.
 
Jesus literally said, “Who touched Me on my clothes?
I felt in myself the power going out from Me.”
 
The Bible says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!”
(James 4:8)
 
Read Luke 8:49–50
 
Jairus heard these dreadful words, “Your daughter is dead.”
 
But Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
 
Jairus had to choose which voice to listen to.
 
“Fear not, for I am with you; I will strengthen you.”
(Isaiah 41:10)
 
“Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
(John 14:27)
 
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
(Hebrews 13:5)
 
“I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.”
(Jeremiah 29:11)
 
How do you hear the voice of God?
By opening the Bible.
 
Read Luke 8:51–53
  
God doesn’t just care about your afterlife.​
He also cares about you in this life.
 
1 Timothy 6:17b (ESV)
God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
 
John 5:24
"I tell you the truth, those who listen to My message and believe in God who sent Me have eternal life. They pass from death to life.”
 
The woman needed Jesus.
Jairus needed Jesus.
That little 12-year-old girl needed Jesus.
And so do you.
 
Turn to Jesus.
 
Only Jesus can give meaning to your life and hope beyond death.
 
Everyone needs Jesus.

What Is God Like?

In 2 Peter 3, we read, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” Some people accepted Christ yesterday – good thing the Rapture didn’t happen the day BEFORE yesterday. Coming up on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn all we can about the Rapture . . . that great event when we’re suddenly caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
