If ever there was someone who had a reason to be hopeless, it was Jesus. He left the glory of heaven to come to earth. He was tempted like us, felt pain like us, felt betrayal like us. The world He created turned against Him, and He was sentenced to the death of a common criminal. How’s YOUR day going? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to the hope found in Jesus’ sacrifice for us – a message Pastor Greg has been sharing in his Harvest Crusades for 30 years. Listen on harvest.or...

Many people have colorful stories about their first car. Dependably undependable. Some had to hold the shift lever “just so” to start it, or pop the hood and tap on the battery, or make sure they parked on a hill so they could get a rolling start the next day. How much can God depend on us? Are we “instant in season” . . . or stuck in park? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie invites us to fully commit ourselves to the Lord and to the work He wants us to do. Listen on harvest.org --- Ow...

Ever been driving along a familiar road, and suddenly you realize you don’t remember the last couple of miles? Your mind was in a fog. You were going through the motions, hand on the steering wheel, foot on the gas pedal, but you weren’t focused. Pastor Greg Laurie is concerned that some people may be serving the Lord that way - lack of focus, in a bit of a fog. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’ll get a wake up call to be alert and prepared for the soon return of the Lord. Insights from Romans. List...

You might be surprised to know that we put a man on the moon before anyone ever invented a suitcase with wheels. Yeah, in the 60s, everyone grabbed the handle and lifted. But in the 70s, roller bags emerged and people thought why carry the load when you don’t have to. But so many of us are carrying the burden of long-ago offenses when we don’t have to. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us find relief. We’ll see the path forward is outlined clearly in the Bible. Listen on har...

Each of us is born with something commonly called the “fight or flight” response. If our safety is threatened, our skin gets flushed, our pupils dilate, and our heart rate speeds up. It’s your body’s way of getting ready to respond. But when someone persecutes us, we often feel that same urge to respond. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says the WAY we respond makes all the difference in the world. And we’ll see Jesus taught us a way to respond that furthers the Kingdom. Listen on ha...

The book of Romans contains some of the most profound insight on what the Christian faith is all about. Paul wrote this theology textbook for a church some 1500 miles away from his own home. But within the explanations of righteousness and redemption is important information about God’s love for us, our love for God, and love for others. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie focuses on that theme as he brings us a message called What It Really Means to Love God. Listen on harvest.org --- ...

It almost goes without saying but successful chefs have to spend time cooking. Successful ballerinas have to dance. Successful photographers have to take pictures. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out successful believers are those who love. The more love characterizes our lives, the more successful we’ll be in so many other areas of the Christian walk. And that’s our goal today – to show our love for God by loving others.

Employment agencies work with two different types of people: those who need an employee, and those who need a job. The agency’s goal is to help those people find each other.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us find “gainful employment” of those miraculous gifts God has entrusted to us. There’s a job to be done . . . time to get to work. Listen...

When you walk through the tool department at your neighborhood hardware store, it isn’t just a collection of hammers. Big hammers, small hammers, funny-shaped hammers, but just hammers. No, there are different tools for different jobs. Well, God has different jobs to be done for His Kingdom and so He’s given His people different tools: talents, abilities, personalities and spiritual gifts to get the jobs done. If we aren’t using our gifts, we may not be used by the Master. Listen on harvest.org ...

Most pilots follow an unwritten rule: if they flip a certain switch and the plane suddenly starts going crazy, they switch it back. Pretty basic.

It’s easy to forget that the Lord uses people to reach people with the Gospel. Chances are good that someone influenced you in your decision to come to the Lord. And chances are good that the Lord wants to use you to influence someone else. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn how to do that job effectively. We need to give thought to whether we’re attracting people to the faith, or repelling them away. Today’s message is titled, God Keeps His Promises. Listen on harvest.o...

So many people think, if they share the Gospel with someone, they’ll regret it. “Oh, they might have a question I can’t answer . . . or they may shut me down . . . or they may not like me anymore.” If you talk to those who HAVE shared the Gospel they’ll tell you it’s exhilarating! We’ll find out why today on A NEW BEGINNING as Pastor Greg Laurie brings a message called Happy Feet. He’ll reference a verse in our text, and we’ll find out happy is a good word for how we’ll feel.

Some people think Jesus is for people who can’t get through life on their own. Many believers can’t imagine trying to get through life on our own. But the more important fact is Jesus is for those who can’t get to Heaven on their own. And we’re all in that category. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues our study series in Romans called Relentless Grace with insight on how the Gospel needs to be shared with everyone. . . because we’re all in need of that grace.

Certain words can be freeing. Like “you’re forgiven.” Or “the debt has been canceled.” Or “you’ve been found not guilty.” The Gospel includes all those words. We’ve been forgiven of our sin because Jesus paid our debt and took our guilt upon Himself. Those words of freedom can’t be kept to ourselves. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues a series called Relentless Grace, we’ll see the importance of sharing that Good News with those who need freedom.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us get over the hurdles and hesitations that keep us from sharing that Good News. Listen on harvest....
