8:48 p.m. - Pastor Greg Laurie prays that the audience's heart would be open to the message tonight. His message title is "The Problem with Man." He shares a little of his testimony of how when he was a teenager, and how he had been wondering about "What is the meaning of life?" He shares how he had heard a Bible study going on at lunchtime on his high school campus, and he realized that maybe the Christians were right and he was wrong. He shares about the speaker and says that there was one thing the speaker said is that Christ said, "You are either for Me or against Me," and he says that next thing he knew, he was up there praying with those people and that's why he is here tonight, to share God's love with everyone here and tell them the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Greg shares how everyone of us have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God. He shares how none of us have to learn to sin, it comes naturally. He talks about how our problems are deep down inside of us. He talks about how people today just live for the moment and for the pleasures of this world. He talks of how we just seek after pleasures and how this is not a new problem, he shares in Ecclesiastes how Solomon spoke of the same thing. Pastor Greg talks of how Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn, spoke on MTV about how unhappy he is. He was shown kissing a bottle of Prozac and saying "This is my best friend. I don't know true happiness. I'm not a happy person. I play like it, I act like it a lot. But inside, actually I'm really not that happy."

Pastor Greg shares that we might ask "Why do we sin?" He says it's because we have a "hole in our heart," that is a longing for God. He shares how sin stated with Adam and Eve. The Bible says in Romans 5:12, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all have sinned." He shares how sin is a DEFIANCE against God. He says that sin is also a DEFECT, a DECEPTION. Pastor Greg says that "Your sin will find you out." He shares that no matter what, you can't cover these things up. We have to come clean and confess our sin.

Pastor shares that if you want to come to the Lord tonight, you have to see that you are a sinner. Jesus came to the earth 2000 years ago and died for every sin ever committed and if you accept His forgiveness, you can have eternal life. There has never been anyone to walk this earth, who was like Jesus. Pastor Greg shares how God became man in human flesh and how He came to pay a debt He didn't owe, for a debt we could not pay. He shares about how Christ shed His blood for our sins. Pastor Greg says that you can be forgiven tonight and all you need to do is:

1. Admit that you are a sinner.

2. Recognize that Christ died for your sin.

3. Repent (Change your direction). Go toward God. Turn from your sin.

4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.

5. Do it publically.

6. Do it now!!

Pastor Greg prays for everyone here, that those who do not know Christ in a personal way would see their need for Him. He asks those who would like to receive Christ's forgiveness, to begin immediately to walk down to the outfield to make a proclamation of their faith.

Many are walking down to the field now. As they are coming, ATS sings "He Knows My Name." As people continue to come, ATS sings "Holiness."

9:40 p.m. - Pastor Greg prays with those who have come forward, "Lord, I am sorry for my sin. I repent of it tonight. Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross and shed His blood for every sin I have ever committed. Thank you for calling me and accepting me and forgiving me for every sin I have ever committed. Amen."
