At various times, we all come down with a case of the “gimmes.” Gimme this, gimme that. And nearly every advertisement feeds that craving. Whatever they say, what they really mean is, “You want one of these, don’t you?” A new car, a new phone, a new outfit. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the biblical reference to coveting goes even beyond the gimmes. “I don’t just want one...I want YOURS.” Today, we’ll see it’s addressed in the 10 Commandments.

Children often look like their parents. It could be facial features, the way they move their hands as they speak, or their laugh. And a child will often mimic his parents’ mannerisms. Something about an apple not falling far from a tree. But ever since Eve was handed the fruit of one particular tree, Satan has been lying to us . . . and many now mimic his behavior. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us chart a course for our behavior from the Lord’s 10 Commandments.

If there’s some liquid left in the bottom of a drinking glass – milk, juice, soft drink – what’s the first thing we do to get it clean. Rinse it out, right? Run some water in it and flush it clean.

We’ll see how to wash it clean with a renewed mind and a renewed passion to draw closer to the Lord. It’s a message from Pastor Greg’s series simply called ‘10.’ Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

Pastor Greg Laurie gives great encouragement and guidance for navigating the seemingly impossible.  Notes: The flood had come, and the Earth was covered in water. Genesis 8:1 Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery and thought him dead. Genesis 50:20 Death does not have the final word. Psalm 49:15 God is bigger than any obstacle! God will always have the last word! Hebrews 11:25–26 “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. Esteeming the reproach of Christ for greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he looked to the reward.” Before you can face an impossible situation, God needs to prepare you. Exodus 13:17–18 Before you can face an impossible situation, remember that God’s way is always the right way. Christ Himself lives inside us, guiding and speaking to us through Scripture. Isaiah 55:12 “You shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace.” God knows things that we don’t! Isaiah 30:21 Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female He created them.” Don’t let this culture guide you—look to God and His Word! Ecclesiastes 2:10–11 Ecclesiastes 12:13 “The last and final word is this: Fear God and do what He tells you. And that’s it.” Read: Exodus 14:3–4 Exodus 14:10 “As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them …” It took God one night to get Israel out of Egypt, but it took 40 years to take Egypt out of Israel! When facing an impossible and more impossible situation, pray! Exodus 14:11 Faith and worry cannot coexist because one chases the other away. “Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything…” Philippians 4:6 Our relationship with Christ is not about what we do for Jesus but what Jesus has done for us! Unbelief tends to create or magnify our difficulties. Faith raises the soul above the difficulty. When led by the Lord, make your move! Exodus 14:15–16 World changers take bold, radical steps of faith! The more you use your faith, the stronger it gets! World changes see opportunities; the worldly see obstacles. To face the impossible, you must walk by faith, not feelings. Exodus 14:21 We would prefer it if God would let us go around the Red Sea, but sometimes He wants us to walk through it. God is bigger than your problems! After overcoming the impossible, give God the glory. Exodus 15:1–2 Jesus was born to die so that we might live. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

The Bible tells us God is love. Yes, He’s loving, but First John 4:8 says God IS love. And it says, “He who does not love does not know God . . .” So it should come as no surprise that hatred is not a part of God’s plan for believers. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses the hatred we see around us in our culture. What are we as believers to do? Good insight is coming. And a word to parents – the content of today’s study may be a little too strong for younger ears. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .
