As Pastor Greg continues his series The Greatest Stories Ever Told, we see that all of the stories up to this point have been prequels to this one story, "The Great Story Ever Told," the story if the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are going to look at Jesus' ministry while He was in His human form on earth. The first Christmas was not about giving gifts. It was about the gift of the Son of God.

We don't really know why God allows suffering in this or that person's life; but we can learn many things about this topic from the oldest book of the Bible, Job. Since Job got a 5-star review from God, Pastor Greg describes the qualities that are important to God, the suffering that God allowed to come into Job's life, and Job's initial reaction to his suffering.

It's been said that Christians are like tea bags: you don't know what they are made of until you put them in hot water. Maybe you are in hot water right now. Maybe you are going through a fiery trial or a red-hot temptation. Here is the good news: you are not the first person to have gone through it, you will not be the last, and you are not alone in your trial! Going through a trial and or temptation can actually be a confirmation that you are on the right track as a Christian. The devil will set his sights on those who are a threat to him. Pastor Greg uses the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to illustrate this in a message titled "Staying Cool When Things Get Hot" from his series The Greatest Stories Ever Told.

Why I am here on this earth? What is the purpose of my existence? 61% of people polled in America said that the purpose for life is enjoyment and personal fulfillment. 50% of those who gave that answer said they were born-again Christians. Should the life of a Christian be spent on enjoyment and personal fulfillment? Pastor Greg answer this question using the story of two kings from Daniel 4 in his message titled "Your Number Is Up" from his series The Greatest Stories Ever Told.

There is no doubt that America is in a state of moral decline. Pastor Greg believes that America has a choice: revival or judgment. Is it too late for us to turn back to God? Greg describes the spiritual awakening that God brought to the ancient city of Nineveh as a result of Jonah's preaching, and says that what we can learn from this account is that if God can send revival to this wicked city, He can send it to us today. Pastor Greg explains what revival is and how the Bible says we can each play a part in bringing revival to our country.

Pastor Greg says that Jonah was chosen by God to deliver a message to the city of Nineveh, and just like Jonah, we as Christians have been chosen to deliver a message (the gospel) to the world. Greg shares four things that are true about God's messengers, and three things that need to be true about the message we are to deliver to those in our world.

Pastor Greg Laurie shares a message entitled "Why Does God Allow Suffering, Part 1" from Job 1. Every life is filled with trouble no matter who we are. If God is good and loving why does He allow evil and suffering? Here, in the Book of Job, we see an example of a righteous man that suffered and lost everything he had in his life, but he never lost His faith in the goodness and love of God.

Any Christian can lead someone to Christ. But we over complicate this thing called evangelism. There is a statistic that says 95% of Christians have never led anyone to Christ. This should not be. You can and you should be leading people to the Lord. Pastor Greg teaches us how in a message titled "How to lead others to Christ."

Jonah and the whale. There is probably no story in all the Bible that is more ridiculed than this one. Much like talking about Eve eating an "apple" (which the Bible never says), we talk about Jonah and the whale. The biblical term is "great fish," and we simply assume that was a whale. A better translation for that term would be "sea-monster." It may have been a whale, it may not have been. Frankly, it doesn't matter whether there is a fish in existence large enough to hold a man for three days. We only need to know there was one. Fact is, Jesus Himself validated the story of Jonah and the fish as historical fact. Jesus said,"For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so I, the Son of Man, will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights" (Matthew 12:40). Not only did Jesus validate the story, but He used it as a picture of His own death and resurrection. But here is the real story of Jonah. It's the story of a man who was given a job to do and he ran from it. It's also a story about second chances, even when we have failed God. Do you need a second chance? Do you know someone else who does? Then check out my message "The Hard to Swallow Truth About Obedience." - Greg Laurie

Are you going through a storm in your life right now? Pastor Greg says there are three kinds of storms we go through: protecting storms, perfecting storms, and correcting storms. He examines the correcting storm that Jonah experienced because of his disobedience to God. Greg notes that we should actually be glad when we are in a correcting storm because it shows us that God loves us too much to let us remain in our disobedience.
