Greg Laurie here. You've heard about these devastating fires that we're experiencing right here

in our backyard in Southern California. These fires are moving so quickly and they're zero percent

contained. So what should we do? Pray. Pray for these firefighters, pray for their protection.

But we need to step into this situation.

So we've created the harvest relief funds for situations exactly like this.

If you would like to send some support to help people in need, you just go to our website,

harvest.org slash relief.

We want to bring help and hope to people in the name of Jesus Christ.

I'm reminded of the passage that tells us that God can bring beauty out of ashes.

Thank you for your prayers. And let's pray that this fire is contained and stopped and that lives are spared and most importantly that people come to put

their faith in Christ. Thank you so much. I as a human being tend to think of the here and now. God,

in contrast, thinks more of the by and by. I think about what will make me happy in the moment. God's more interested

and what will make me holy. Coming up today, Pastor Greg Lorry points out, the Lord wants us to

choose the kind of joy that will follow us into eternity. God's end game is to make us more like

Jesus. He's preparing us for heaven because heaven is a prepared place for prepared people.

This is the day when the lost I found. This is the day for a new beginning.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound. Can you hear from the angels are seen it?

This is the day to day when life begins.

Smart grocery shoppers pay attention to expiration dates.

You may see a dozen cartons of milk on the shelf, but a careful look shows that the expiration

dates on some cartons are much further into the future.

But sometimes we don't think carefully about the other things of life that may affect us.
