Just imagine your first day in heaven. The sun is shining, the air is fresh and clean and you have energy to spare. No aches and pains, no car problems, no computer problems, no neighbor problems. So much of what now seems to absorb our time and sap our strength we leave behind. Can I get an amen? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how to fix our eyes on heaven, and give us hope for our time on earth.

The Hope of Heaven | Finding Hope for Earthly Struggles

As believers, we know we’re going to heaven. One day, we’ll walk the streets of gold and be overwhelmed by the presence of the Lord Himself. But back here on concrete and asphalt, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the presence of our problems. How do we make it through the here and now as we wait for the hereafter? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series of hopeful messages, we’ll learn how to find reassurance in God’s promises in Scripture.

The Hope of Heaven | Navigating Life's Challenges

Jesus knew how to meet someone right where they were. He does the same thing today and we should too. In this message, see how He chooses to speak with a certain “immoral woman.” 

Notes

Focus verse: John 4

Jesus meets you right where you are.

Jesus cleans our lives up after we come to Him.

Everyone is looking for God in their own way.

Read John 4:1–7

Go where others won’t.
John 4:4

Jesus went where there was a need.

Build bridges. Ask Jesus to help you address the deeper spiritual need.
John 4:7–15

Offer what matters.
John 4:12

Jesus moved beyond surface level interactions to address real needs, and deeper concerns.

“You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan, why are You talking to me?”
“Do you think You are better than our ancestor Jacob?”
John 4:9, 12

Read John 4:16–19

God loves you with a sacrificial love and gives you peace that you cannot find anywhere else.

When you engage with someone about faith, make it about Jesus.

Read John 4:20–26

The gift of true worship.
John 4:23–24

We must worship in spirit and in truth.

Your spiritual thirst can also be met by that same person, Jesus Christ.

Jesus and the Immoral Woman | Sunday Message

A 17th century poet once said, “Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories.” Child-rearing is one of the most humbling things a confident parent can undertake. Kids have minds of their own. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings hope for parents of prodigals . . . and later in today’s message, Pastor Greg’s son, Jonathan, recounts his years of rebellion, and how he came back home.
