Committed Christians are the true rebels in culture today.

Coming up next, Pastor Greg Laurie urges us to resist conforming to anything other than Christ

likeness. Don't tell me it's rebellious to do what everybody else does and say what everybody

all says and be a woke person and conform to pre-existing culture that is changing before our eyes.

You want to be a rebel, follow Jesus Christ. You'll be a real rebel today.

Oh, can you kill me? I just want to see you.

Today on the new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us an alternative. He helps us through the

narrow gates. It will make us popular or politically correct, but better to live in a way that's

pleasing to God even if it displeases people rather than the other way around.

I want to talk about a man that really changed his world. He has what we would call a hero of

the Bible. And he did it during a very dark time in human history. Maybe the darkest it has ever

been. I'm talking about the time before the great flood when God brought his judgment upon

planet earth. Jesus called it the days of Noah. And it's relevant to us because Christ said

as it was in the days of Noah, so also shall it be when the Son of Man returns. So Christ is saying

remember how it was in Noah's day. It's going to be very similar in the time before my return yet.

I can't just very dark background lived a man who walked with God showing you can live a godly

life in an ungodly culture. And I like to call him a world changer. What does a world changer?
