When we give someone a birthday gift, we don’t ask them to give it back when they disappoint us. Well, God doesn’t revoke the gift of eternal life when we do something that displeases Him. Our salvation was purchased at Calvary . . . and that purchase was final. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we can rest in the finished work of our salvation, but then set our minds on moving forward in our walk of faith. It’s good encouragement for good times and bad. The Harvest Cru...

Ever let your phone battery run down to almost nothing? You think you’re fine . . . until suddenly the screen goes dark and you’re desperate for a charger. It’s easy to neglect our faith the same way and soon we feel spiritually drained and like we’re running on empty. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us stay charged and connected for the long haul. No more running on “low power mode” when we have a full-power calling from our God. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium...

Life can be like tending a garden. What we water grows. If we spend all our time feeding worry, pleasure, and listening to the voice of our adversary, we shouldn’t be surprised when weeds take over. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus our attention carefully. The voices we listen to are like seeds. Some bring peace, others just bring pests. At some point, we’ve gotta ask: are we planting the right crop, or just giving the weeds a comfy home? The Harvest Crusade is coming ...

Imagine assembling a complicated piece of furniture without the instructions. You wind up with extra screws, a wobbly chair, and maybe a bruised ego. That’s a good picture of life without the Bible! God’s Word is our instruction manual, keeping us from poor decisions and the Devil’s smooth sales pitches. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows how to build a life where the pieces fit together, because they all came straight from the Manufacturer. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel...

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says GPS-related navigation errors lead to over 200,000 car accidents annually in the U.S. alone. Many drivers blindly followed GPS instructions right straight into trouble. Spiritually speaking, that’s what happens when we listen to the Devil. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, our adversary’s temptations sound appealing, but they’re deadly. Let’s recalculate our route.

Ever try to move a couch all by yourself? Oh boy. Suddenly it’s jammed in the doorway, you’re wedged in with it, and it feels like you’re stuck in a sitcom. But if a few friends help out, no one has to lose their sanity. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to a great biblical example of teamwork. Nehemiah wants to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem, but he faces serious challenges. Pastor Greg picks up at Nehemiah chapter 2, verse 11. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel S...

Do you ever sit in your car with the engine running but haven’t yet put it in drive? You can pray for direction all day, but at some point, you’ve got to step on the gas. Pastor Greg Laurie says our Christian walk is like that. There’s a time to be still and trust, but there’s also a time to move. Maybe God is calling you to take action, just like He did with Nehemiah. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, good encouragement about stepping up and moving forward in our walk of faith.

A musical instrument sounds beautiful when it’s in tune, but over time, the strings loosen, and the notes go flat. But with a little attention and the right adjustments, it can be restored to the perfect pitch. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the same is true in our spiritual lives. When we drift out of sync with God, we’re not lost—we just need to be re-tuned. We’re in Nehemiah, learning practical steps to bring our lives back into harmony with God’s plan. The Harvest ...

Remember Smokey the Bear? His correct name is Smokey Bear, a fictional spokesperson for the U.S. Forest Service. He’d say, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Yeah, fires can start by one careless person. But when it comes to the fire of revival, that fire can start with one person who does care. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us be that kind of person who let’s God use them to share the love of Christ in a world that needs that message.

Pastor Jonathan Laurie breaks down the story of the prodigal son by spotlighting the older brother—the one who stayed, obeyed, and still missed the father’s heart. Notes Luke 15:11–32 (NKJV) Luke 15:11–24 The younger brother rejected the father, rebelled, and pursued pleasure. The son’s request would be unheard of in the first century. The father honors the son’s request. Jesus is painting a picture of a father who maintains his love and endures the agony despite being rejected. We can be like t...

In essence, believers are a part of two families. We’re a part of our earthly families, and we’re part of the family of God. There are privileges and responsibilities that go with both. Pastor Greg Laurie points out how it’s sometimes difficult to share about our faith with our earthly family. Sometimes, one family doesn’t want to hear about the other one. Listen in for good insight on what God expects of us within those most important earthly relationships. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Ange...

Pastor Greg Laurie has counsel today for husbands (and wives) on undergirding our marriages. “You need to tell them you find them beautiful. You need to tell them you appreciated the meal. You love what they’re doing with the house. You see them being such a great mother to your children. Or whatever it is, you need to be building one another up. Far too often in marriage we tear each other down and we never build each other up.” The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11! Stay up...

Ever found yourself between a rock and a hard place with a home repair project? If you do this, the house catches fire. If you do that, the house falls down. So you call “the guy.” The guy who knows stuff. He comes in and turns the whatchamacallit right side up, and job done. Where can we find that kind of help to turn the rest of our lives right side up? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that today on A NEW BEGINNING. Good encouragement coming our way. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on...

We talk of the Word of God as being our sword . . . our sword of the Spirit in spiritual battle. We speak of it being food for our hungry souls. But it’s also a steady life preserver when we get pulled under by pressure and panic. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us the comfort we meet when the Bible calls Jesus a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. He understands our pain, and His arms are strong enough to carry us through. The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium...

None of us likes to pay bills. And we particularly don’t want to pay our next door neighbor’s bills. Well, spiritually speaking, the Bible is clear that a price had to be paid for the sins of mankind. A high price. But Jesus paid it on our behalf. We owed a debt we couldn’t pay, but Jesus paid a debt He didn’t owe. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see just what agony Jesus went through in settling our debt.

Pastor Greg asks whether this is true, and how families can express their gratitude in words and deeds to the mothers in their lives. This discussion takes a look at some of ...

Believers are drawn to worship. Love compels us. But we’re also drawn to God when life gives us nowhere else to go. When trials bring us to our knees, that’s the perfect position to pray. We can waste time focusing on “why” . . . asking why it happened. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to “Who” . . . Who is the One who has the power and the desire to get us through the mess we’re in. Good encouragement is coming our way. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in k...

There’s a famous poem about defiant independence featuring phrases like “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” The Lord probably finds that poem pretty funny.
