The Bible calls us to invest in each other even though risks are associated with it. We need to be a bridge, not a barrier, to bring people to Christ. In this episode, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us the biblical path to conflict resolution. Listen in! Notes Christians may have conflict and disagreements. The Bible is an honest book. Some people bring joy wherever they go. Others bring joy whenever they go. We should never put a wall up where God has opened a door. We need to be a like bridge, not a barrier, to bring people to Christ. The gospel says, "Come to Christ, and He will clean up your life!" What do you need to do to be saved? 1. Recognize that you are a sinner. 2. Realize that Christ died for you. 3. Repent of your sin. Baptism is important but not necessary for salvation; it is a response to salvation. When you have a disagreement with someone: 1. Don’t talk about them; talk to them. 2. Forgive them. Forgiveness is good for you spiritually and for your health. 3. Reconcile Before you can forgive

In this episode, we revisit a conversation with Pastor Greg and Randy Alcorn—this time to tackle life’s big issues.

Randy says, “There are many things [God] hasn’t told us about Heaven. . . So we don’t have to know those. But what He has told us is powerful. Let us study and contemplate and know and look forward to what He has told us about Heaven.”  Enjoy this edifying discussion about the most important topics of life. Randy Alcorn is a New York Times bestselling author of more than 50 books, including Heaven. He is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching biblical truth and drawing attention to the needy and how to help them. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org This podcast is supported by the generosity of our Harve

In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie reveals the profound reasons God allows His people to experience trials. Listen in! Notes The Christian life is about persevering. Job said, "We're all adrift in the same boat: too few days, too many troubles.” There is a loving God who, despite the worst tragedy, can bring good out of bad.

Suffering and adversity keep us humble. “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” —C. S. Lewis 2. Adversity teaches us eternal truths we would otherwise not learn. Trials are like God's gym: to break us down and to build us up. God will teach us lessons in those valleys we would never learn on mountaintops. “Pain removes the veil; it plants the flag of truth within th

The early Church was ground zero for the very first “Jesus revolution.” But it wasn’t easy to cause mass revival: it took some bold leaders to proclaim the Good News. In this Sunday morning message,, Pastor Jonathan Laurie, Greg Laurie’s son, shares how the early Church turned its world upside down. Listen in! Notes Luke is the only Gentile to have written a book included in our Bibles. We are the Church, not this stage, not this platform or these walls or this screen. You are the Church!  Barnabas: The Son of Encouragement. Simeon: The man who helped Jesus carry the cross. Lucius of Cyrene: A founder of the Christian Church in Antioch. Manaen: Was brought up with Herod the Tetrarch. The church is diverse, multicultural, multiethnic, multigenerational, and unified through believing that Jesus is Savior and Jesus is Lord.
