Saturday night though, they showed Lost Boy, a movie about Greg Laurie's life. It is a great movie/documentary on Pastor Greg's life, and the story is great, especially for those who think that they have messed up so much that God could not save them, or that they have rebelled too much. Seeing that way that God shaped his life and brought him through all of that to where he is today is really cool. After the movie though, Pastor Greg came out and preached.
I have listened to Pastor Greg on the radio for a while now, and I really enjoy his preaching. He is someone who is real and down to earth, yet very committed and serious to the gospel message. When he preaches, you can feel the love that he has for people come through. It really is the love that God has placed in him shining through. The message was great though, as he talked about the prodigal son and how when he came back to his father, his father did not cast him aside or make him a slave, but rather ran to him and threw his arms around him.
The point is that if we run to God for forgiveness, He will not turn us away. When we come to Christ, He forgives us and puts His arms around us. And God will do that for you as well, if you will come to Jesus Christ, by faith, turning from your sins, and asking Christ for forgiveness and to be your personal Lord and Savior.
Many people tonight came into a relationship with Christ and many prodigal children came confessing known sins in their lives that they were holding onto. It was a great night! Plus, I got to meet Pastor Greg after the event. He is just as nice in person as he seems on the radio, and I am hoping and praying that we might be able to get him to do a Harvest Crusade in Colorado. That is definitely something that I will be praying about.
