There are numerous help lines available for times of crisis. For instance, there’s 988 for those with thoughts of suicide. Or sometimes, there’s personal help available through your church. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that we can’t forget the help available from the Lord directly. David cried out to God. Samuel cried out to God. Moses cried out to God as did all of Israel. Today, how to cry out ourselves and how to take our pain directly to the Lord’s throne. List...

It’s fashionable to be an independent thinker. To question the norm. To think outside the box. But what do we call all those independent thinkers who think the same way? It may not always be beneficial to think outside the box, but it IS always beneficial to look up. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out success isn’t measured in how different we are from other people. No, it’s measured in how much we pattern our thoughts and our actions after the Lord. More on that today. List...

In most parts of this country, if a building falls into disrepair, there’s a good chance they’ll knock it down and start over. But in most of Europe, it isn’t that way. Buildings aren’t as “disposable” . . . and in some towns 500 year old buildings are commonplace. The Lord doesn’t treat sinners as disposable. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out God stands ready to meet us where we are, and help us put the pieces of our sin-shattered lives back together. Listen on harvest.org...

There’s a conspiracy afoot. Forces are conspiring together to bring you down. What are they? The world, the flesh and the Devil. We’re surrounded by temptation, and those forces make sure we’re aware. So is our fall, our failure a fait accompli? An unavoidable, irreversible outcome? Pastor Greg Laurie says no. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, he offers some important help from the book of Romans in a practical message called How to Overcome the Power of Sin. Listen on harvest.org --- Own Jesus Revoluti...

It’s possible to dutifully drive to the gym every morning, and drive thru the donut shop on the way back home. It’s possible to set aside time every morning for devotions, but then get distracted by all the stuff on social media. Good intentions by themselves don’t take us far down the path of holiness. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see where our lives are out of adjustment, and helps us chart a course away from carnality and into spiritual growth. Listen on harvest.org -...

Those who’ve had heart surgery often talk of feeling younger and more energetic after the surgery. Their blood flows better, more oxygen to their system, they feel brand new. Spiritually speaking, we get a new heart when we come to the Lord. We’re new creatures in Christ. The old man is dead. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says sometimes that old man tries to come back to life. Paul addressed that very issue in the book of Romans, and that’s our subject for today.

Sometimes believers give the Devil more credit than he deserves. “I couldn’t help myself; the Devil made me do it.” Not really. Sin requires our cooperation. We don’t fall into sin, we jump. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how our adversary and our sinful nature may conspire to lure us, but we can stand in the Lord’s victory over temptation. How? That’s what today’s study is about. Pastor Greg helps us chart a path toward spiritual success. Listen on harvest.org --- Own J...

Romans is widely regarded as a textbook on the Christian faith. It clarifies so many issues of sin and salvation, temptation, and redemption. If the whole of the Bible is a balanced spiritual meal, Romans would be a generous serving of meat. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us gain some clarity on the precepts of our faith. We’ll see God does His part, we cooperate with what He’s done, and there are a few things that are up to us. Let’s learn how it all works together. List...

Every ship captain likes smooth sailing. No squalls, no storms, no stress. And every ship captain has seen the weather change very suddenly. How many of us have started a particular day with the sun shining and birds singing, and ended the day wondering how we’d make it through until tomorrow. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how Jesus is with us in the midst of our trials, and how those trials may be hand-picked to turn us into the stalwart saints God wants us to be.

Ever bought a product that made you feel out of sorts? A shirt or blouse that was cut strangely. Maybe a pair of shoes that pinched. Or you sat in a chair that looked really comfortable but the minute you sat down, you said, “I’ll stand, thank you.” Many people live their lives all out of sorts . . . and they don’t really know what’s wrong. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out it may be they need to come to the Lord, or come closer to the Lord. Let’s learn more. Listen on harv...

Many people remember Polaroid cameras. You’d look through the viewfinder, snap a picture, pull the film out of the back of the camera and wait for the picture to develop before your eyes. The photographer always knew what was coming because he saw what was in his viewfinder. But it was a surprise to everyone else. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us God knows what’s developing in your life. He’s already seen it. And so we need to trust that His plan is better than ours. Liste...

It’s doubtful many of us are very good at waiting. What’s that saying, “Patience is a virtue, Possess it if you can, Seldom found in woman, Never found in man.” The stakes are even higher when there’s great danger or discomfort. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues our study series in the book of Romans, we’ll see God will come through for us . . . and His timing is always perfect. And the best example of His providence is in His Son’s sacrifice for our sins. Listen on h...

If happiness and fulfillment were found in money, in fame, in accomplishment, then celebrities would be the happiest people on the face of the earth.

Sometimes didn’t even get the prescription filled! What’s a doctor to do!? Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the same is often true in the spiritual arena. Those who need Jesus the most often resist making a change because they simply don’t want to change. Let’s learn more...

“Looking for loopholes.” That’s what the late actor W.C. Fields reportedly said when someone asked him why he was reading the Bible. “Looking for loopholes.” Unfortunately, sometimes believers look for loopholes in Scripture. They’ve read a certain passage but they wonder if maybe the original Greek will cut them some slack.

The most significant book on some bookshelves is the one with the most dust on it. It has the answers to the biggest questions of life, but it’s opened about as often as a 40 year old Farmer’s Almanac.

More than that, get its insights into our minds and hearts. Pastor Greg has good counsel today from the book of Romans. Listen on harvest.org --...

Before you came to the Lord, it’s more than likely there was someone praying for you to do so. Maybe many “someones.” Aren’t you glad the Lord heard those prayers? Who are you praying for right now?

We all know someone who seems like they’re on nonstop sin patrol. They spend their time looking into everyone else’s business seeing if they can spot any kind of inconsistency in a person’s walk of faith. Maybe in searching for other people’s sin it helps them ignore their own. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us each check ourselves.

Some people look at sin the way some count calories. That sin? Oh, that’s nothing. It’s like a broccoli sin. You can do that one—doesn’t even count. That other sin? Oh, no. That’s a hot fudge Sunday sin. Stay away from that one. The truth is, we should count sin less like calories and more like poison. Sin kills. The wages of sin is death.

What kind of doctor would run some tests and leave out all the bad news? The bad news may be hard to hear but, before you can cure the disease you have to know about the disease.

Ever gone to a concert or sporting event and had tickets waiting at “will call.” You go to the window and say, “Yes, I’m so-and-so and I believe you have tickets waiting for me.” And then you cross your fingers that nothing went wrong—that your name is on the list and you’ll get in. Some people are hoping their name is on the will call list for Heaven. After all, they did good things.

When someone famous dies, that news is in circulation on social media within minutes. By the time the “Breaking News” appears on TV, millions already know about it.
