Ever had your car break down out in the middle of nowhere...scorching heat...no cell service...no other cars to stop and help...no friendly, little farmhouse beckoning you in the distance? Crisis compounded by solitude. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, we never have to face our challenges by ourselves. We’ll learn to reach out to the Lord in our times of need, and that He’s our anchor when we’re feeling helpless and hopeless. Good encouragement is coming. Listen on harves...
Many people ask one question when tragedy strikes. Is the one-word question that reverberates in our very soul: “why?” Why did this have to happen? “Why...why me...why now...why this?” Maybe you’ve asked that question...or maybe you’ve tried to answer that question. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses that challenge head on. When earthly answers don’t satisfy, we have to look to what God tells us in His Word. Truth that speaks to the heart.

It frankly would be hard to list all the things Jesus has done for us. The top of the list would be that He loved us enough to die for us. So here’s the question. If we love Jesus, what are we willing to do for Him? If He died for us, are we willing to live for Him? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the Gospel of John for an important look at a well-known miracle. As we examine this account, we learn a lot about how Jesus wants us to live for Him and speak about Him. Liste...
Believers have the opportunity to be salt and light in a world that desperately needs both. Our culture is marinating in sin and hopelessness, and we have the opportunity to point the way to hope and forgiveness. But will we stand up and speak out? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us recognize the difference we can make, and make the difference so many will recognize. If you’ve ever complained about the state of the world we live in, learn how your efforts can help turn the tid...
Our God can calm storms, create storms, part the waters of the Red Sea. He can make time literally stand still, He can raise the dead, and cause the deaf to hear. So what is it that you need today? Glad you’re along for A NEW BEGINNING as Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see nothing is impossible for the Lord. And He invites us to come to Him in prayer. He bids us to “ask, seek, and knock.” And when our petitions intersect with His willingness, big things can happen! Listen on harvest.org --- Learn m...

Sometimes, we treat prayer as a last resort. In reality, it’s our best option. And sometimes it’s our only option. So many of us could testify to the power of prayer, and even tell a story of how God came through just in the nick of time. So why aren’t we calling on God more often? And why don’t we let Him use us to step out boldly for Him? We’ll consider those questions today on A NEW BEGINNING as Pastor Greg Laurie helps us examine the feeding of the 5,000 in John chapter 6. Listen on harvest....
How many of us are up in the wee hours of the morning worrying if the sun will rise? Didn’t it rise yesterday? And the day before? Has it not risen every day in all of human history? When something has been that reliable in the past, we can trust it will be reliable in the future. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us pause and consider the faithfulness and reliability of the Lord. In addition to making the sun rise each morning, we’ll see just how well God takes care of His...
The second law of thermodynamics says things tend toward disorder. As time goes on, things fall apart. When it comes to our homes, a clean room never stays that way for long. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out there’s a spiritual parallel. Our Christian lives can get messy and out of sorts. But we’ll learn Jesus can come in sort it out...if we let Him. Pastor Greg urges us to open the door and let Jesus have access to every room of our spiritual house. Listen on harvest....
The successful Christian life doesn’t happen by accident. It takes focus and effort. Salvation is a free gift...but Christian growth involves some work and sacrifice on our part. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series in John called The Seven Signs of Jesus. We’ll learn how to map out a plan to keep us moving full speed in the right direction. If you’ve had a few stumbles and sputters in your walk with the Lord, this is a great opportunity to knuckle down and buckl...
We can make two mistakes when it comes to the afterlife. Some people think hell won’t be too bad. They joke that all their friends will be there – they’ll just party all the time. There won’t be any parties there. The other mistake we can make is thinking heaven isn’t all that good...especially if you don’t play the harp. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see what’s really waiting for believers. We’ll learn about the abundant life in the here and now, and eternal life in the ...

Jesus didn’t tell us to argue someone into the kingdom of God...or to protest our culture into the faith...or even to isolate ourselves from those who don’t believe. Pastor Greg Laurie has said we’re not to isolate but infiltrate. We’re to be salt and light in a culture that needs the hope of the Gospel. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg helps us set a course for taking this life-saving message to those whose eternal lives hang in the balance. It’s the very reason we’re here. Listen on ...
We know prayer is a privilege. We know prayer is powerful. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. But what some don’t realize is that God WANTS us to come to Him. He welcomes our petitions. He listens to our cries. And prayer can make a difference, even if we don’t feel worthy for such an important role. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us insights on prayer straight from the Word of God. It’s good encouragement to be on “speaking terms” with our Heavenly Father. Listen o...
Many of us have a few friends on-line who seem to live a worry-free life! What’s that like, huh? Every post is an unbelievable meal, a breath-taking sunset, or some new toy they just had to have.

Good insight from our study in James. Listen ...
For many kids, as the days countdown to the end of a school year, there’s excitement...no more homework, no more tests! I think Alice Cooper sang about that. But those final hours of the school year can go by so S-L-O-W-L-Y. A lot of us feel that way about the return of Christ. We’re excited to see our Savior, but we’ve been waiting a long time. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the reasons for the wait and shows us what God would have us do with our extra time. Listen...

They rely on what they’ve heard the Bible ...
No matter who we are, what neighborhood we come from, whether we’re famous, infamous or unknown, we have something someone else wants. We have something someone else needs. We have a smile, and a kind word. It’s that simple. Maybe we don’t have a dollar in our pocket, but a moment of kindness may be just what someone needs to get through their difficulty.

If you’ve ever been nervous about sharing your faith, Pastor Greg Laurie has good news: it’s easier than you might think. In this Sunday message, he gives us a powerful example of leading others to Christ from John 4. Notes Jesus never dealt with any two people in exactly the same way, because there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to evangelism—everyone is different! 1. Telling your story (testimony) is a powerful bridge for the gospel message. People may argue with you about facts, but they...

We’ve all been wounded by something someone said to us. And, if we’re candid, we’d probably all admit we’ve said some things that may have hurt someone else. Once those careless words leave our mouths, there’s just no getting them back. How can we control our tongues . . . how can we keep that tiger in the cage?

Some comedians have stopped performing on college campuses. Why? Political correctness is more important than humor. And on some campuses, the biblical values we once held sacred are now considered hate speech. Look at TV. Curse words and innuendo flow freely, but traditional family values are deemed offensive.
