I want to talk to you about the God of open doors. He is the God who opens the doors that no man can close. He is the God who makes a way where there is no way. If you’re trying to get into something and there’s no way in, he’s your way in. If [...]

Great! That’s it right there. That’s it. That’s it. That’s what I was going to say. Amen. She just said it better and faster. You know, the first saint-this was the first canonized saint in history. Canonized simply means that the church fathers [...]

To our worship team and our crew that put that beautiful testimony together of Michael, I don’t know if most people know him or recognize him. Not only does he serve in a life group, but he has served for a long, long time in our parking lot [...]

A great greeting, and I’m so thankful for each and every one of you mothers. You may be seated. Let’s take a seat. Where are we seated? We are seated with Jesus in heavenly places. Amen. We began talking about the shaking that is happening in the [...]

Stress is at an all-time high in our world, and whether the stress is economic or the side effects of COVID, there is so much stress and so much breakdown of the health of our mind and the health of our soul. It turns into a breakdown of our bodies, [...]

Now let’s get right into today’s content. I want to talk about every breakthrough that you need in your life. Every breakthrough, every miracle, and every bit of happiness starts with this one thing. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, «God has not [...]

That’s very powerful. When I see land like that, that belongs to God — well, it has always belonged to Him. But you see the land in that video, and the Bible says, «Wherever the sole of your foot treads, it will be given to you.» The Bible also [...]

Paul writes to us. He’s writing to the church at Ephesus. He’s writing to us as believers. And you were dead in your trespasses and sins. He’s talking about what we were before Jesus came to the earth, before He died for us, before He rose from the [...]

Lord, we just thank You for Your presence today. We thank You that what distinguishes our lives is Your presence. What sets us apart is Your presence, not our holiness but Your holiness, Your presence. Father, we thank You that today peace will [...]

That’s a powerful verse that Abe shared: we’re called to inherit a blessing. Amen! We’re called to be a blessing, to inherit a blessing. You can’t be what you haven’t first become. You have been made by God. You’ve been blessed by God. We are [...]

Now, today we are going to dive into one of the entries from our daily devotionals in our 2025 Fast from Wrong Thinking. Today, we’re going to specifically draw from Day 23, to be exact. You get an email every day. By the way, this year’s theme is [...]

What the devil understands that most Christians don’t: The devil understands how dangerous the gift of righteousness is to God’s people and his kingdom. He understands, and he is not at war with your finances. The devil is not at war with your [...]

Good afternoon. Wasn’t that a great video that we just saw? I came across it on Instagram, and I thought, «Whoa, this is really good!» So I reposted it, and then I found out the guy who made it-I’ve known him for years. He’s actually here, sitting [...]

I want to talk to you about your life and the direction your life is taking. The title of my message is, «What’s It Going to Take?» Now, you might think that I was raised in a Christian home. Well, the very opposite was the case. I was raised in a [...]

There’s a story in the Old Testament about Elisha and his servant Gehazi. They were surrounded by enemy forces, and Gehazi was starting to freak out. Actually, Elisha had fallen asleep; he was so confident in the Lord. So Gehazi wakes him up and [...]

Life is filled with lots of choices, isn’t it? You can sit down in front of a television set and have over a thousand channels to choose from. Have you ever flipped through those channels and literally not found anything worth watching? And if [...]

Yes. What a day that was! How many of you came to the baptism? Raise your hands. Well, quite a few of you. Were any of you baptized? Raise your hands. Wow! A lot of you. Congratulations! We baptized 2,100 people yesterday, and we’re putting the [...]

You know we live in such a crazy, chaotic, scary world right now. Fear is everywhere. People are so stressed out. War is around the world, violence is in our streets, and there’s an uncertain future. Social media only fuels this fear. And what we [...]

Have you ever wondered how long you will live? I read an article the other day that said AI (artificial intelligence) can now tell us how long we will actually live. They base that on your medical history, place of residence, and working hours. [...]

You know, it feels like things are beginning to change in America. And what’s even more remarkable is this movement isn’t just being carried on by the older generation-people like me. It’s gaining momentum among the young, and I love this. I have to [...]

Well, I read an interesting article from the New York Times, a former newspaper, that said there is a return of young people to church right now, especially men. Did you hear about this article? This article says, and I quote, «For the first time in [...]

Question: Is the Antichrist alive today? A lot of people think he is. Could artificial intelligence (AI) actually be part of a future deception? What if the greatest threat isn’t something outright evil, but something that actually looks well, kind [...]

The title of my message is «How Could a God of Love Send Someone to Hell?» So, a number of years ago, I was preaching, and I was standing at the back door, meeting people. Some guy came up to me, shook my hand, and said, «That was a hell of a [...]

Hey everybody, Greg Laurie here, welcoming you to my podcast. I want to talk about a topic that some people are uncomfortable with. Are you ready for it? I want to talk about hair loss! Not really; that would be an interesting topic, wouldn’t it? [...]

Let’s pray. Lord, as we have just sung, we owe all to You. We couldn’t even speak to You right now if it were not for Your death on the cross, Lord, and Your resurrection, where You opened to us a new and living way. We could address God as Father, [...]

Today we’re going to look at the Kingdom of God. Is that a big enough topic for everybody? We’re going to discover whether you and I are in the Kingdom or whether you and I are not in the Kingdom. People always ask, «How do I know I’m a Christian? [...]

Three billion people who are Christians around the world will be celebrating Easter today. On five continents, every ethnicity, and virtually every language, a worship leader will stand before the congregation and express his profession, his [...]

We talk about parenting. First of all, we spent several weeks discussing what it means to have a marriage based on biblical principles. I firmly believe and can affirm that if the Bible teaches us about marriage, if those principles are not true, [...]

There’s always bad news before there’s good news, ladies and gentlemen. In the gospel, well, the gospel is good news. There’s bad news before there’s good news: we had to realize, be convicted of our sin and our rebellion against God before the good [...]

Neuroscientists, those who study the brain, have found a switch that you and I can turn on in our brains to be healthier, wiser, and happier. Did that sink in? Now everybody asks, what in the world is that switch? It’s your mind. It’s my mind. You [...]

We read in Psalm 3 how Absalom, the son of King David, launched a revolution. Every time a decision was made by David and those in power, Absalom would go take the opposite course. In other words, he set up a new system of justice that was contrary [...]

How do we apprehend the word of God? I’ll tell you exactly how we do it: with the presence of God. It is only through the presence of God that we have the power of God. We try to use the power of God, as did the Israelites who faced the Philistines, [...]

What is a worldview? Somebody will say, «Well, I don’t know.» Let me tell you exactly what it is: it is a philosophy of life. It is how you and I view life — animal life, Homo sapiens, human life-and how we relate to the universe and to the Earth. A [...]

We’re familiar with the 23rd Psalm. Right at the end, it says, «Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.» I heard someone teach on this passage years ago. He said, «You [...]

I’ve had the privilege of going to the Vatican and visiting the Sistine Chapel on several occasions. The last time Joe, Beth, and I were there, we got what they called a backdoor tour. Our guide knew someone there, and we went into the Sistine [...]

We hear a lot about colors: red states, blue states, purple states, white, green, black, orange. We hear a lot about colors, but there’s one color that is a very, very dangerous color. I don’t think you could guess what it is. It is an angry color; [...]

David was a man after God’s own heart. He wrote 72 of these Psalms; he was a harpist, a singer, a composer, a leader, a genius in any way you look at it. From a shepherd boy to taking care of Goliath, how he handled Saul when he was seeking to kill [...]

Noah was a man of faith, the Bible tells us, and he had a wife and sons, married wives, and they had a household-a family of faith- which was countercultural, going in the opposite direction of everybody else on the planet. So judgment came in the [...]

We have the idea-well, I can go and pray to God anytime. Oh, He’s omnipresent; He is. But you and I can’t pray anytime because I am unclean and you’re unclean. We go to God, and God is holy, and God will listen only to people who are holy. So you [...]

Our scripture is from the Book of Acts, Chapter 5. I’ll read verses 12 through 15: «At the hands of the apostles, many signs and wonders were taking place among the people, and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Portico. But none of the rest [...]

We’ve been studying the book of Psalms. We’ve already looked at Psalm 1 and Psalm 2; they are the introductory Psalms. Originally, they were just one Psalm. Then you move on to Psalm 3, which we have looked at, and we’ve also examined Psalm 4. Now [...]

We’re going to study a part of the book of Psalms as our preaching menu for the next few months. I’ll be honest with you: I’ve been reticent to do this. Not that I haven’t spoken on Psalms or taught on Psalms; it’s just one of those books that’s [...]

To what can we compare this generation? With that question in mind, I encountered something I had never heard of before. There’s a special category of goats called fainting goats. Did you know that? By the way, these goats have the finest cashmere [...]

Dr. David Peterson was pastor of the Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church in Houston, Texas, for many years. Dave tells a story that when he was in seminary, he studied a man by the name of Dr. F.R. Frederick Buechner, who is a well-known scholar, [...]

Anybody here who has ever lived in Vermont, would you lift your hand? You lived in the state of Vermont? Surely out of 5,000 or 6,000 people, somebody’s lived in Vermont! Am I not seeing your hands? Where? Back there! Stand up, Vermont! Stand up for [...]

Hebrews chapter 12, verse 11: «Now no discipline seems to be joyful for the present, but painful. Nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.» And it is discipline; God loves those He [...]
