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.

volume_upJune 4, 2023 Angels and Demons | Sunday Message
Pastor Greg Laurie gives a message titled “Angels and Demons,” in which he dispels the myths and helps you understand the truth about the spiritual world. Listen in for a practical message!
Notes
People do not become angels; angels are angels!
The Bible is full of stories of those who were miraculously spoken to, comforted, and delivered by angels; and sometimes angels speak to us, and we don’t even know it!
1. Angels sometimes deliver us from difficult situations.
Angels played a major role in getting Peter out of prison again in Acts 12.
2. Sometimes angels stop us, and other times, they prompt us.
Perhaps, we have headed for destruction and God changed our course.
We may not always be aware of the presence of angels or predict how and when they will appear, but the Bible says they are there.
It is entirely possible that you have even personally met an angel!
If an angel were to appear to us right now, we would be tempted to worship it.
As hard as it is to fathom, not all of the angels follow the Lord, due to a rebellion.
3. Before we talk about demons, let’s say a few words about their leader, the devil.
The devil came from Heaven.
This angelic rebellion was led by Satan himself.
Lucifer was not satisfied with worshiping God. He himself wanted to be worshiped.
Though the devil lost this once exalted position, he still has access to Heaven.
The Bible describes Satan as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
4. The devil is not alone. He has a well-organized network of demon powers doing his bidding.
We read numerous passages that refer to Satan and his minions.
5. The purpose of demons seems to be two-fold: They seek to hinder the purposes of
God and to extend the power of Satan.
6. The devil knows his days are numbered.
This is more than a political or ideological conflict; it’s a spiritual battle.
Satan knows we are in the last days, and he is upping his game; we, as Christians, must do the same.
Our offensive weapons are prayer and the proclamation of the gospel.
The grammatical construction of this phrase, in the Greek, indicates Satan starts this.
Why pick a fight with an angel more powerful than you?
Answer: Sin makes you stupid!
7. The devil does not want you to know that he attacks with accusation.
“A good general must penetrate the brain of his enemy.”—Victor Hugo
There is no sin in a temptation, only in giving into it.
It’s not the bait that constitutes sin; it’s the bite.
Before we sin, while Satan is tempting us, he whispers: “You can get away with this.”
After we sin, he shouts: “You will never get away with this!”
8. They overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb.
My access to God is the result of what Jesus has done for me.
At the Cross of Calvary, Jesus dealt the decisive blow against Satan and his forces.
It is through the blood of the Lamb I can even approach God and find the help I need.
You will never overcome the devil as long as there is unconfessed sin in your heart.
9. They overcame by the word of their testimony.
10 They did not love their lives to the death.
Jesus said, “There is joy in Heaven in the presence of the angels when one sinner repents.”
The devil says, “tomorrow,” while the Holy Spirit says, “Today is the day of salvation.”

volume_upJune 2, 2023 God Keeps His Promises | Attracting Others to the Faith
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.

History is replete with examples of people who lived meager lives, not allowing themselves the simplest of luxuries, and then its discovered after they die that they had millions! They lived as paupers when they could have lived as princes. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the blessings God has reserved for us . . . but how so few of us have claimed them. They’re stored up like dollar bills in an old mattress. Let’s learn how to use them as God intended.

In so many things of life, there are winners and losers. In the stock market, selling real estate, selling a car . . . if someone gets a good deal, someone else may have suffered a loss. But when it comes to sharing Christ, we gain as much as we give. When we share God’s love with another person, we both win.

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!

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.

volume_upMay 25, 2023 Too Good to Keep to Yourself | The Importance of Sharing the Gospel
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.

As believers, Jesus has changed our lives. He’s given us life eternal and life more abundant in the here and now. If Jesus can change our lives, He can change someone else’s life.

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

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.

volume_upMay 12, 2023 How to Overcome the Power of Sin | From Carnality to Spirituality

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows what Scripture reveals about us, but helps us chart a pathway out of our sin to our Savior.

The most significant book on some bookshelves is the one with the most dust on it.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see the value of God’s Word . . . and how we need to get that book off the shelf and into our laps. More than that, get its insights into our minds and hearts. Pastor Greg has good counsel today from the book of Romans.

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. We’ll learn to walk more closely with the Lord, and spend less time worrying about the spiritual scorecards of others.

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. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see the antidote.

volume_upApril 2, 2023 Power Over Death | Sunday Message
In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie completes our 7 Signs of Jesus series with the last sign. In John 11, four days after the death of Lazarus, Jesus brings him back to life. Listen in for insights over Christ’s victory over death.
Notes
Death is not fair; it’s harsh and mean and rips those we love away from us.
Death is not a friend; it’s an enemy!
“The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” —1 Corinthians 15:26
God did not want people to die.
1. Life is filled with pain, sorrow, and the death of loved ones.
2. God loves us.
(Therefore, whatever He does or allows to happen in your life, as His child, is motivated by His everlasting love for you).
“Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” —John 11:3
“He is a very present help in time of trouble.” —Psalm 46:1
Even though we cannot see how the situation will end, or why it has come upon us, we can know it flows from the love of God and is controlled by Him.
We think of the temporal; God thinks of the eternal!
Mary and Martha brought their doubts to Jesus!
3. Because Jesus loves us, He weeps with us in our times of pain.
(Jesus was/is God, with all His power and glory, but He also was a man who felt our pain and sorrows.)
Death breaks God’s heart, just as it breaks ours.
The word troubled could be translated as, “He was mad!”
4. God can be glorified through human suffering and bring good out of bad.
Sometimes God will be glorified through the removal of affliction (in this case, death); and other times, He will be glorified through the enduring of the affliction.
Heaven is the earthly life of the believer, glorified and perfected.
Death is an enemy, but it was also destroyed!
Jesus Christ has power over death!

volume_upMarch 5, 2023 Time to Clean House! | Sunday Message
In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie continues our 7 Signs of Jesus series with a particularly powerful story—the “cleansing of the temple.” Discover what makes God angry in this message from John 2!
Notes
“The Christian life is like a greased pole; you are either climbing or slipping.” —Unknown
Goliath was not always a giant.
The little things that we nurture can become big things; in other words, little liberties can turn into big vices.
“Sow a thought, reap an act. Sow an act, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a destiny.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught us to ask for forgiveness regularly.
Jesus’ first miracle: Water into wine.
Jesus answers our prayers, does what we ask, and comes through for us; but then there are times He comes and cleans house and overturns tables.
1. There are things that make God angry.
2. God cares about His house.
If you come to Jesus, He will accept you as you are, but He will not leave you that way.
Saul of Tarsus was a murderer, but he became a mighty apostle.
“Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for He guards the lives of His faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” —Psalm 97:10
Sometimes we get angry with sinners when we need to be angry with Satan.
What angered Jesus?
People being kept from God.
3. God gets angry when people are kept from coming to Him.
The church exists to glorify God, edify the saints, and evangelize to the world.
“The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.” —Abigail Van Buren
4. What does Jesus cleansing the Temple have to do with me?
As part of the new covenant, God now lives in the hearts of His people.
Paul prayed that “Christ would dwell in our hearts by faith” (Ephesians 3:17).
Dwell means, “To settle down and be at home.”
The dwelling place of God (the Temple of God) is you!
Perhaps you have sins that have not been confessed, and vices that have not been confronted.
Jesus wants access to every room of your house!
Jesus wants access to every room to clean properly.
Jesus may overturn a table or two, but when it is done, it will be clean!
Revival is returning to original condition.
5. Jesus knows everything about you.
6. Jesus will always reveal Himself to the true seeker; but to the fickle, shallow, and insincere, nothing will happen.
Jesus Christ is ready to come clean up your life!

2 Timothy 2:25–26

volume_upFebruary 22, 2023 The Jesus Revolution & Evangelism | How to Experience Personal Revival
Our mission statement here at A NEW BEGINNING is “Knowing Him and Making Him Known.” Today, we’ll see how those two ideas are inseparably linked. When we make Him known, we know Him better. When we draw other people to Christ, we’re drawn to Christ. Sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it? And today on the broadcast, as Pastor Greg Laurie brings us the final installment in his popular series examining the Jesus Movement, we’ll see how we can put that great idea into practice.

You know, when you share a smile with someone, it’s not like they take it from you and you don’t have it anymore. Often you both end up smiling. When you share a word of encouragement, both of you are the better for it. When you share the Good News of God’s love, it can touch both of you profoundly. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shares how the Gospel is at the very center of God’s plan for mankind. It’s the one thing that can change the eternal trajectory of someone else’s life.

In 2 Peter 3, we read, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” Some people accepted Christ yesterday—good thing the Rapture didn’t happen the day BEFORE yesterday. Coming up on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn all we can about the Rapture . . . that great event when we’re suddenly caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

God’s Word is a light for our path . . . food for our souls. It’s the only offensive weapon in our suit of spiritual armor. And yet, in many homes, it’s the most dusty book on the bookshelf. It contains the very keys to the issues of life, yet it’s overlooked and forgotten. And so many times we need the help it offers. A well-used Bible that’s falling apart is usually owned by someone who isn’t. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of digesting Scripture.

volume_upFebruary 11, 2023 A Supernatural Invasion of God | Today’s Devotion from Pastor Greg
Today, we feature a powerful devotional thought from Pastor Greg's Daily Devotion. Follow Daily Devotions from Greg Laurie here.
---
We can’t create a revival. We can’t organize a revival. But we can agonize in prayer for a revival. A revival is a supernatural invasion of God. It is something that God does for us and not something we do for Him.
One person defined revival as a community saturated with God. Richard Owen Roberts, who wrote a great book called Revival, described it as “an extraordinary movement of the Holy Spirit producing extraordinary results.”
A. W. Tozer defined revival as that which changes the moral climate of the community.
Revival is nothing more or less than a new beginning of obedience to God.
And really, nonbelievers don’t need revival; they need salvation. The church needs revival. Revival is for believers only, but evangelism is for nonbelievers.
Charles Spurgeon said, “To be revived is a blessing which can only be enjoyed by those who have some degree of life. Those who have no spiritual life are not, and cannot be, in the strictest sense of the term, subjects of a revival. A true revival is to be looked for in the Church of God.”
I don’t think most Americans have heard an authentic, biblical gospel presentation. In fact, I think we have a lot of “almost Christians” in our nation today. They know a little about the gospel, but they don’t understand it fully. They haven’t responded to it or embraced it.
For example, when the apostle Paul presented the gospel to Herod Agrippa, the ruler said, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian” (Acts 26:28 NKJV).
One of the greatest revivals in human history started with one man, Jonah. Initially he ran from God, but ultimately he came to his senses. God has called us, like Jonah, to go and preach the gospel. The question is, are we doing it?

We know we put on our socks before our shoes, and our shirt before our jacket. We all know that the order of things is important. Pastor Greg Laurie says a spiritual awakening will come to our culture after a spiritual revival comes upon the Church.
God described that dynamic in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’re learning about the components that lead to revival among God’s people. It’s a part of Pastor Greg’s enlightening series called Jesus Revolution.

Collectively, Americans are more than 15 trillion dollars in debt. And what is credit, exactly? It's borrowing tomorrow’s money to pay for today. It’s a stark picture of how our culture wants to live in the moment. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that mindset can get us into a world of trouble on the spiritual level. We’ll take a few moments to consider what we’re living for. And we’ll see where that leads us when it comes to eternity.

volume_upJanuary 17, 2023 What Do You Live For? | Living For Christ
For some people, happiness is as elusive as a feather floating on a strong breeze. It’s in their sights, then escapes before they can lay hold. Is happiness just out of bounds for some people? Or are they looking in the wrong places? Pastor Greg Laurie addresses those concerns today on A NEW BEGINNING from one of this past year’s most requested messages. We’re studying Paul’s counsel in Philippians. It’s some of the Bible’s strongest encouragement, even though the words were written while Paul was in chains.

So many people post pictures of their food on social media. And, admittedly, a lot of it looks really good. But have you noticed the food that’s to die for is also the food you can die from? Isn’t that true? And in the bigger picture, that’s the way sin is. Sin first says “live it up” . . . then says, “you’ll never live that down.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out where we can find real satisfaction in life. We go to the Author of Life Himself to find out what He recommends.

volume_upJanuary 15, 2023 Things Jesus Never Said | Sunday Message
Pastor Greg Laurie’s continuing in our Walk This Way series! He’s taking us into the book of James where we find instruction and direction for walking in the way of Jesus. Don't miss this!
Notes
1. God is angry with me and wants to ruin my life.
“I have loved you with an everlasting love.” —Jeremiah 31:3
2. God loves me and accepts me as I am (this is the opposite of the first one and is also wrong in a different way).
God does love you and accepts you as you are, but He does not want to leave you that way!
3. Follow your heart.
The modern use of the word heart is primarily thought of as emotion.
Do not follow your heart; follow God’s heart (in other words, His Will).
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you.” —Ezekiel 36:26
4. Trust your gut.
The problem with trusting your gut is when selfishness is the motivating factor.
Instead of trusting our gut, we should trust in the Lord.
5. We need to learn to love ourselves.
The real problem is, we love ourselves too much.
6. You deserve to be happy.
“Every man, whatsoever his condition, desires to be happy.” —Augustine (A.D. 397)
God is happy!
Jesus said, “Happy are they that hear the Word of God and keep it.”
7. God wants us to follow our dreams.
God loves you and His plan for you is better than your plan.
God is omniscient (all-knowing).
What bothers you or brings tears to your eyes is a concern to God.
God knows your tomorrow!
The way to life is through death, the way to up is down, and the way to happiness is sadness.
8. We need to live our lives God’s way, not the way of the world.
Wisdom is known by its actions.
Wisdom is known by its good fruit.
God’s wisdom is pure (moral purity).
A wise person is not so arrogant to think they cannot learn anything; they will talk to a person, not about a person.
We need to be bridge builders, not bridge burners.
9. If I live a good life, I will go to Heaven.
There will be bad people in Heaven.
There will be good people in Hell.
It is not enough to know about God; we need to know God.

Author Max Lucado has pointed out that a car’s windshield is a lot bigger than the rearview mirror, because we need to focus on where we’re going, not where we’ve been. Too many of us want to drag our past failures right into our present. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us break from the sins of our past, and focus on finishing our lives well.

As a rule, people don’t walk much anymore. Oh, some might do a couple of miles on the treadmill at the gym, but they drove three laps around the parking lot to get the closest parking space. In biblical times, everybody walked . . . a lot! And running? Well, that was the speeding they did when they were late for work. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how Paul the Apostle offers counsel on how we can run the race of life with endurance, and how we can run to win.

Coming up today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie focuses on Paul’s words in Philippians. While he was under house arrest, he wrote some of the most inspiring counsel on where to find happiness and joy! And as Pastor Greg presents one of the most requested studies of the past year, we see Paul talks about the Christian life as a race. And much like a coach inspiring his runners, today on A NEW BEGINNING we’ll be inspired to run with purpose and intent, so we finish well.

Some people decide one day to get back to the gym. They make the commitment on Monday, and they’re all in! Tuesday, there they are. Wednesday. Thursday, a little late. Friday... oops missed that day. And by the following Wednesday they want their money back. Some people come to Christ full of passion and resolve. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, it’s not how you start, but how you finish. It’s an important study in Nehemiah where we’ll learn to finish well.

Every Sunday morning belongs to God . . . unless it’s a beautiful day, then you gotta get out in the fresh air.

Devotions, every morning . . . unless you didn’t sleep well, or were out late the night before. God isn’t content with the leftovers of our lives. He wants to be top priority. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that principle even extends to our financial management.

volume_upJanuary 1, 2023 Happiness: Where to Find It | Sunday Message
In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie gives us encouragement perfect for the New Year with a message titled, “Happiness: Where to Find It.”
Most people deep down inside want to be happy. It’s even in our Declaration of Independence that in the United States of America we want to be happy. Even those who say they don’t want to be happy, and want to be unhappy, find a certain happiness in their unhappiness. You may be surprised to know that God wired you to want to be happy, and according to the Bible, you can be happy—you should be happy. But you just need to look for it in the right place.
Here are a few places not to look for happiness.
Being beautiful or handsome will not bring personal happiness. Sometimes people think, “If I was as handsome or beautiful as the people that I see in magazines or as the movie stars, I’d be happy.” We’re always trying to look our best with surgery, airbrushing, Photoshop, Instagram filters, and other enhancements. But there will always be someone more attractive, and physical attractiveness will not make you happy.
Personal possessions will not bring personal happiness. Your life may improve or be more comfortable, but possessions will not bring the real happiness you’re searching for. For many, having more money leads to depression. Proverbs 27:20 says, “Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied” (NKJV).
Having relationships will not make you happy. We are wired for a relationship. We are wired to have someone to love and marry one day. That’s not bad, but if you say marriage is going to make you happy, you are going to be in for a big shock. People let us down. Parents let down children. Children let down parents. Husbands let down wives. Wives let down husbands.
Pursuing pleasure will never bring personal happiness. There are many fine pleasures in life that are good. A nice meal. A beautiful sunset. Time with people you love. Those are good pleasures, and then there are perverse pleasures that are sinful. The Bible even says these can be fun for a time, but there are repercussions. 1 Timothy 5:6 says that she “who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives” (NKJV).
Here’s the bottom line of Paul’s happiness, found in Philippians 4:4. He says, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!” (NASB). That is the key. It is rejoicing in the Lord. It is not rejoicing in your condition, rejoicing in your circumstances, rejoicing in your current emotional state, or something else. It’s rejoicing in the Lord and filling your mind with the truth of God. It changes your outlook. I’m not talking about positive thinking. I’m talking about having a mind that is filled with God’s truth—having the mind of Christ.

Ever wonder why the stars glow at night? No, not the scientific reason. Why did God make them visible to us, even though some are thousands of light years away? Maybe it’s a message. If He can create a universe that’s bigger than we can imagine, maybe He can solve a problem that’s bigger than we can handle. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us look at God’s power and His love . . . they’re demonstrated in how He sent His Son to save us from our sins.

God had an important message to deliver to mankind. He was surrounded by heavenly messengers called angels. But He had a different plan. He could have written His message across the sky, or fashioned creation itself to reveal His words. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that, instead, God chose to deliver the message Himself, clothed in humanity, born as a baby. Today, we’ll look at the message, and the God-man who was born in a manger.

One of the most positive things people can say about us is that we’re “followers” of Jesus Christ. It means we’re willing to follow His lead, we’re active in our belief, we’ve put feet to our faith. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to Revelation 13 where we learn about a group of exactly 144,000 “followers” of Jesus. A group recorded for time and eternity in Scripture. We’ll see what makes them unique, and learn to follow in their footsteps.

Our minds come with built-in baloney filters. We hear something that’s too good to be true and we think, “baloney.” The trouble is, our adversary has some pretty sneaky ways of dressing up lies to look like the truth. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us tune up our spiritual discernment so we can spot the lies as they escape from the Devil’s mouth. It’s an important study, and one of the messages our listeners requested the most over the past 12 months.

Some might think a cashless society might be kind of handy—just scan and scoot. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the mark represents allegiance to the Antichrist! It’s something far more consequential than an alternate form of identification. In effect, it identifies us with the powers of darkness. It’s a hard-hitting message, and one of the studies our listeners requested the most over the past 12 months. We’re kicking off our series of top 10 messages today.

volume_upDecember 24, 2022 A Twisted Family Tree | Christmas and Imperfect People
Not even Jesus’ family was a perfect one—but that shouldn’t be a shock. Instead, it should be a reminder that Jesus came to save. Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see God's grace in action and connect what we learn to the story of Christmas.
Pastor Greg's Christmas message LIVE
Notes
God gives second chances!
Read: Matthew 1:1–7, 15–16
Jesus’ story is not about God helping perfect people but saving lost people.
In this genealogy, which is really a key part of the Christmas story, we have God, in His mercy, doing for sinners what they can’t do for themselves. Reminding us that Jesus came to heal broken lives and restore shattered hopes.
David
Matthew 1:1
Luke 1:32
Tamar
Matthew 1:3
Rehab
Ruth
Bathsheba
Mary
Matthew 1:16
Read: Luke 1:26–29
“Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” —Luke 1:28
Mary was troubled, or literally agitated.
A truly spiritual person will not boast of their accomplishments.
The more spiritual you are, the more aware you will become of your own sinfulness.
“My soul exalts the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.” —Luke 1:46–47
Joseph
Luke 1:27
God the Father, in Heaven, chose Joseph to be a stepfather, or father figure, for Jesus on earth!
The angel of the Lord came to Joseph, too.
The whole first chapter of Matthew speaks of the grace of God.
There will never be another Joseph and Mary.
Then again, there will never be another you!
God is preparing you for a purpose in this life, and He is preparing you for the afterlife.
That God’s grace may be richly displayed.
We have the genealogy of Christ so the focus would be on Jesus and not His family.
That we might have hope for our future, and the future of our family.
Christmas is all about redemption—taking messed up families and making them right.

Mark 3:21
Matthew 1:20–21

Tough trials can bring us to our knees. But no doubt the most disheartening time to face those challenges is here at Christmas time. It’s a time to deck the halls, not to be sidelined and feel all alone. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie wants you to know, you’re NOT alone.

We think of Christmas as a season of togetherness . . . family, friends, fellowship. But real life never quite looks like the greeting cards. Maybe a loved one has passed, or someone has let us down. We may have lost a job, or lost our good health. It’s the toughest time of the year for heartache and disappointment. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie has a message of hope and reassurance. No matter what’s going on in your life, be assured that you are not alone.

If you follow many of the discussion threads on social media, they often follow a pattern. A suggestion . . . a counter suggestion . . . disagreement . . . rude disagreement . . . personal attack . . . intense, caustic tirade . . . and we close the page uttering something about humanity being doomed. It’s probably a good idea to get our input from a higher source. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to our Wonderful Counselor.

So many of us are thinking, “How am I gonna get all this stuff done?” It’s probably the holiday that requires the most planning and preparation . . . preparation that has so little to do with the reason for the season. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie contrasts this Christmas with the first Christmas, and points out the joy of this season if we can refocus . . . not on all the things not yet done, but on the finished work of Christ—born in the manger, who died on the cross.

The Christmas holiday focuses a great deal on a birth—a special birth, to be sure. But the reason for Jesus’ birth was ultimately for our re-birth. To miss that element is to miss the message of Christmas itself. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us consider the gift of God’s Son, and how his payment years later at Calvary made it possible for us to be reborn as children of God. We’ll open Scripture to grasp the miracle of God became man.

Many students wait until the night before to study for a test. The adrenaline makes them razor sharp—or so they say. But then they also hope for a little good luck when the test is handed out. Well, someone has pointed out luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Now, as believers, we don’t depend on luck, we depend on the Lord, but today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows the wisdom in letting preparation meet opportunity as it relates to the fiery trials we may all face.

volume_upDecember 11, 2022 Christmas, B.C. | Sunday Message
Here’s something surprising: the story of Christmas relates to a time before Christ’s birth. Pastor Greg Laurie explains just how and leaves us with a stronger appreciation for the holiday. Listen in!
Notes
This story of redemption, the Christmas story, started a long time ago in a garden—and it began with a tree. The tree of the Knowledge of God and Evil.
“The woman was convinced. The fruit looked so fresh and delicious, and it would make her so wise. So she ate some of the fruit.” —Genesis 3:6
The Lord gives the first Christmas verse, not Isaiah 9:6 or Micah 5:2 but Genesis 3:15 where God speaks directly to Satan.
God the Father was effectively saying, “Satan, there is coming One who will crush you.”
Jesus would be born to die so that we might live.
The shadow of the cross lay over the beauty of that first Christmas night.
The Pharaoh tried to exterminate the Jews, starting with the Hebrew baby boys.
The wicked Haman tried to have the Jews wiped off the face of the earth.
King Herod, hearing that One was born “The King of the Jews,” tried to kill Jesus.
Nothing will stop Christ from coming again!
Jesus being God, pre-existed, and He, along with the Holy Spirit and the Father, are co-equal and co-eternal.
From our perspective on Earth: Unto us, a child is born.
From Heaven’s perspective: Unto us, a Son is given.
Jesus is in the Old Testament, concealed, and in the New Testament, revealed.
A Theophany is an appearance of God.
A Christophany is an appearance of Christ before Bethlehem.
Note: It was not an angel of the Lord but the angel of the Lord.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and staff they comfort me.” —Psalm 23:4
A shepherd has two tools: a rod and a staff.
Read: Genesis 32:24–30
Never be afraid to commit an unknown future to a known God.
Something changed in the heart of Jacob. He went from wanting to win to worshipping, from fighting to surrendering, from wrestling to nestling.
Jesus has always been there, and He will always be there in the future.
Even when we sometimes forget about Him, He never for a moment forgets us.
Scripture Referenced
Isaiah 9:6
Isaiah 43:2

You ask an employee, “Excuse me, where are the paper towels?” And you hope they don’t just point to the other side of the store. The words you want to hear are, “C’mon, I’ll take you there.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains that new believers need that kind of assistance. We need to show them the way.

Christian disciples are in the import/export business. No, it’s not Persian rugs or spices from India. It’s truth from Heaven.

And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it’s up to us to import those truths into our lives, and then look for opportunities to export those principles into the lives of those in our circle of influence. These are “disciplines of discipleship.”

volume_upDecember 4, 2022 With God, Nothing Is Impossible | Sunday Message
Sometimes it is easy to forget that the people God chose as Jesus’ parents were young and, in many ways, unprepared. Yet Mary and Joseph trusted in God’s plan and were faithful.
Pastor Greg Laurie shows how God fulfills His promises through the obedience of regular people. Listen in for a message from Luke 1 and Matthew titled, “With God, Nothing Is Impossible.”
Notes
The word for power comes from the root word “dynamite.”
Mary saw Jesus enter the world as her son and leave as her Savior.
Mary was living in Nazareth.
1. Mary lived a Godly life in an ungodly place.
Nazareth could be described as sin city.
Mary models for us that it is possible to live a holy life in an unholy place.
“Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young.”
Mary was a nobody in a nothing town in the middle of nowhere.
God uses “nobodies” to tell everybody about somebody.
The Lord hand-picked Mary to fulfill this prophecy.
Troubled means “disturbed,” “confused,” or “failure to function.”
2. Mary was surprised that God had selected her and not someone else.
Gabriel the Archangel tells Mary what the name of her child, the Messiah, was to be.
Mary was willing to do whatever God wants!
3. Mary obeyed and magnified God.
Mary wonders how she, being a virgin, will conceive and Gabriel says, “For with God nothing will be impossible.” —Luke 1:37
For with God nothing will be impossible!
Joseph is an unsung hero of the Christmas story.
4. God chose Joseph just as surely as He chose Mary, to be a stepfather, a father figure for Jesus on Earth!
Joseph was doubtful about the supernatural conception.
The angel of the Lord came to Joseph, too!
If there were no virgin birth, there would be no sinless Christ. If there is no sinless Christ, there would be no atonement.
1. Jesus came to die and give His life as a ransom for many.
“For even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve others, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” —Mark 10:45
2. Jesus was born in Bethlehem to bring life in all of its fullness.
3. Christ was born in a manger so that we could be born again!
God has given us the ultimate gift.
For with God nothing will be impossible!

Today, we look back two decades at a message from Pastor Greg Laurie given at the SoCal Harvest event at Angel Stadium (formerly Edison Field) of Anaheim. Pastor Greg speaks powerfully from Luke 15 on the story of the prodigal son.
In this message, you’ll find answers to the major questions of life. What are you on this Earth for? What are you here for? And how can you be a happy person?
No matter what kind of home you might have come from, Pastor Greg underscores the possibility of hope. He says, “Even if your parents has let you down, even if your earthly father has left you down, you have a heavenly Father who loves you and will never let you down.”
To learn more about coming into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, just go here.

volume_upNovember 27, 2022 How to Have a Happy Holiday Season | Sunday Message
We've all heard the phrase “it's the most wonderful time of the year.” But is it true? Not for some of us. That's why Pastor Greg Laurie's offering us a Christian perspective on how to make this holiday season a joyful one. Don't miss this valuable, encouraging message.
Notes
There are more than 2,700 passages in the Bible containing words such as joy, happiness, pleasure, laughter, gladness, feasting, and celebration.
God Himself is happy.
Jesus said, “I have told you this to make you as completely happy as I am.”
1. Remember the reason for the season.
Christmas is the celebration of the happiest message of all time.
The only real happiness you will find is in Christ, not in Christmas but in Christ, not in merriment but in the Messiah.
“God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself because it is not there. There is no such thing.” —C. S. Lewis
2. If you want a happy holiday, spend time with loved ones.
There is power when God’s people pray with each other.
3. If you want a happy holiday, be grateful for what you have.
“In everything, give thanks for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus.” —1 Thessalonians 5:18
“Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” —Psalm 106:1
It is very easy to only want to give thanks when we feel like it; but according to Scripture, it is something the believer is to do regardless of circumstances.
The Two Most Important Moments in a Person’s Life:
When they are born and when they realize what they are born for.
4. Focus on giving instead of receiving this Christmas.
“It is more blessed to give than it is to receive.” —Acts 20:35
“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” —Proverbs 11:25
We give God our treasure.
We give God our talent.
We give God our time.
Every morning, God deposits into your bank of time 86,400 seconds or 1,440 minutes, equaling 24 hours.
Jesus’ summary of it all was, “Real life is not measured by how much we own; it is measured by who we know and what we do with our lives.”
Remember the reason for the season.
Spend time with loved ones.
Be grateful for what you have.
Focus on giving instead of receiving this Christmas.
It’s not presents under a tree, but His presence in your life.

What do we actually have to be thankful for?
What can Christians expect when they go to Heaven?
Will we wear clothes in Heaven?
Does belief in an afterlife change how we live today?
Randy reminds us, “If your hope is in yourself, or your hope is in the economy, or stock market and your retirement plan, and your hope is always being healthy or wealthy or whatever, those things are not a solid or firm foundation for hope. Jesus Christ is the source of hope.”
Randy Alcorn is a New York Times bestselling author of more than 50 books, including Heaven. He is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching biblical truth and drawing attention to the needy and how to help them.

volume_upNovember 25, 2022 Time to Take Out the Trash | When Your Burdens Pile Up
Driving instructors often tell their students to look ahead on the road—don’t focus on the mailbox coming up on the right, or the approaching car on the left. If you focus on those dangers, you tend to steer that direction. On a spiritual level, we find similar advice in the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie highlights this time-tested counsel Jesus gives us about the worries and cares that keep us from focusing where we should: on Him.

We’ve all had those unfortunate moments when we’ve said something we shouldn’t have. It’s a regrettable mistake. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’ll see there are also times when we should have said something and we didn’t. We’ll focus on the importance of expressing our thanks to God for His goodness.

volume_upNovember 20, 2022 Spicy Truths for a Bland Culture | Sunday Message (with Jonathan Laurie)
The Bible tells us “faith without good deeds is useless” (James 2:20). We should not only be talk but action when it comes to our faith, and guest speaker Pastor Jonathan Laurie’s reminding us of that in this Sunday episode.
Notes
James is stating that merely saying you have faith does not mean you have it.
The sin of commission is knowing what is wrong and doing it anyway.
The sin of omission is knowing what is right and not doing it.
1. Dead Faith.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” —John 3:16
We are saved by grace through faith, not works.
But saving faith will have works.
2. Demonic Faith.
A faith that only stirs our hearts, stimulates our intellect, and does not bring forth a transformed life does not bear spiritual fruit—it is not a true faith.
3. Dynamic Faith.
Dynamic saving faith, to start with, is based on the Word of God.
“The whole person plays a part in true saving faith. The mind understands the truth; the heart desires the truth; and the will acts upon the truth. The men and women of faith named in Hebrews 11 were people of action: God spoke, and they obeyed.” —Warren Wiersbe
“Of what value is the grace I profess to receive if it does not dramatically change the way that I live. If it does not change the way that I live, it will never change my eternal destiny.” —C. H. Spurgeon
Scripture Referenced
Ephesians 2:8–10 (ESV)
Matthew 7:18–23 (ESV)
Galatians 5:22–23 (ESV)
James 2:18–20 (ESV)
Revelation 12:12 (ESV)
Romans 10:17 (ESV)

Chemistry majors know that liquids can be adhesive or cohesive. Some liquids stick to other things, while others cling together. If you’ve broken a mercury thermometer and seen the little beads of mercury ball-up together, you’ve seen cohesion. Well, when impure thoughts come at us, do we let them stick inside our minds . . . or do we repel them and cling to what we know is right?

It seems holiness and happiness are now considered opposites. When someone is reverent, or pious, or devoted, most don’t expect to see a smile on their face. They expect a serious, somber look of concern and stillness. But Christians should be the happiest people on the planet! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see the biblical basis for happiness. It revolves around the word blessed . . . a term we see repeatedly in the Sermon on the Mount.

volume_upOctober 30, 2022 How to Deal with Trials and Temptations | Sunday Message
How to Deal with Trials and Temptations | Sunday Message
Greg Laurie gives us guidance on overcoming trials that come our way from James 1.
Pastor Greg Laurie begins a new series in the book of James called Walk this Way with a message titled “How to Deal With Trials and Temptations.”
We all go through unique trials and temptations. In fact, it is a good sign that you are walking in the right direction. It is through the toughest trials and temptations that we learn the most and can become healthier, better followers of Jesus Christ.
Listen in for good encouragement!
Notes
God allows trials to strengthen us because He wants to use us!
What Jesus is saying is, “Satan will not be able to stop you!”
The Epistle of James is for suffering people.
James and the family did not believe in Jesus until His resurrection.
1. Living a perfect Christian life will not convince some people.
The resurrection of Jesus turned James around.
2. Make a choice to rejoice when you go through trials.
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” —James 1:2
The more we rejoice in our testings, the more we realize they are not liabilities but privileges.
They are ultimately helpful, not harmful; no matter how severe they may appear.
Job gave thanks.
It is very easy to only want to give thanks when we feel like it, but according to Scripture, it is something the believer is to do regardless of circumstances.
“Gratitude reduces toxic emotions ranging from envy and frustration and reduces depression, and actually increases happiness.” —Robert A. Emmons, Ph.D.
Thankful people are happy people!
3. Trials happen to make us stronger in every way.
In Greek, “The testing of your faith produces ‘patience’” actually translates to, “toughness,” or “fortitude.”
Trials are like God’s gym, where we are broken down to be built up.
God has a purpose for every trial.
Spiritual strength will come through trials.
Jesus would come in His time and in His way because of His love!
Jesus delayed His arrival so He could bring greater glory to His name.
Jesus loves us and wants to be glorified through our lives.
Two words stand out against Paul’s travesty of tragedy: “Nevertheless God!”
4. It is through trials that we learn great wisdom.
Through knowledge, we have learned how to travel faster than sound, but we show our lack of wisdom by going faster in the wrong direction!
5. God will enable us to endure and get through times of temptation.
Where does temptation come from?
Answer: We play a key role in our own temptation by giving Satan our cooperation.
Where there is no desire on our part, then there is no temptation.
The temptation itself.
You are now under its power and are enjoying the experience.
You are now almost hooked.
“Drawn away by his own desires and is enticed.” —James 1:14
The lethal effects of sin kick in.
“And sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” —James 1:15
Temptation often comes after great times of blessing!
We will go through times of trial.
We need to make the choice to rejoice in times of trial.
God will guide you and give you the wisdom you need.
Temptations will come, but there is always a way out!
Jesus suffered and died for your sin, so you can be forgiven!

volume_upOctober 28, 2022 The Biblical Worldview on the Afterlife | Who Goes to Heaven?
People can talk all day about what it takes to get to Heaven. Inevitably, the discussion touches on the golden rule, and includes phrases like “be true to yourself” and “it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere.” People can be sincere and sincerely wrong at the same time. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie goes straight to Scripture for the real answer. If we want to know how to get to Heaven, it’s best to ask the God of Heaven. And that’s what we’ll do today.

It would seem that it’s easy to be content when things are going well . . . and it’s easy to be discontented when life has brought us to our knees. But is our contentment always tied to our circumstances? Pastor Greg Laurie would remind us that some of Paul’s most encouraging words were written from a dank, dark prison cell. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg helps us see how to have a spirit of contentment no matter what life throws our way. It’s part of his series called Worldview.

If you’ve run out of things to worry about, just turn on the news. It’s one crisis after another, 24 hours a day. The old saying in the news business is, “if it bleeds, it leads.” But the Lord calls us to set our minds on things above. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us why. When we’ve made our peace with God, it’s so easy to enjoy the peace of God. Pastor Greg shows us how to enjoy a biblical worldview that’s not mired in worry and fear.

volume_upOctober 23, 2022 How to Divorce-Proof Your Marriage | Sunday Message
In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie concludes his current series, Am I Doing This Right? with a message titled “How to Divorce-Proof Your Marriage.” Listen in and learn how to strike the word “divorce” from your vocabulary and put your spouse first in all things.
Notes
“I would give my entire fortune for one happy marriage.” —J. Paul Getty
If you do not work on making your marriage stronger, it will slowly but surely die.
1. Selfishness (one word to sum up what breaks most marriages apart).
The problem more likely is you.
Marriage is not about finding the right person but being the right person.
People are so obsessed with themselves.
The origins of sin, selfishness, and the focus on ourselves came from the fall.
“Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” —Genesis 3:16
The term desire means to, “compel, impel, urge, or seek control over.”
(Same word used when the Lord warned Cain later in Genesis.)
Sin wanted to master Cain, but God commanded Cain to master sin!
God is saying to Eve, as a result of sin, “you will want to control the man.”
God is saying to Adam, “You will want to rule over and dominate the woman.”
The curse on Eve (and woman) would be a desire to control man.
The curse on Adam (and men) would be the desire to control women.
2. Communication breakdown.
Learn to listen.
“Only a fool answers a matter before he has heard it.” —Proverbs 18:13
Avoid raising your voice.
If you feel anger building (if necessary) walk away.
Once you have had your disagreement, try to find a resolution, and then forgive!
Fight to resolve, not to win.
3. Adultery.
Sow a thought, reap an act.
Sow an act, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny.
In the New Testament, there are 26 references to Pornea.
Our bodies are not made for it (1 Corinthians 6:13).
We should not seek it out (1 Corinthians 7:2).
We should run from it (1 Corinthians 6:18).
You do incredible damage to yourself.
“When adultery walks in, everything worth having walks out.”
You do incredible damage to your spouse; trust is broken.
You do incredible damage to your children.
You do damage to the church.
You do great damage to your witness and the cause of Christ.
You sin against the Lord Himself.
Note: They said, “Command.” Jesus said, “Permitted.”
1. Divorce is allowed when sexual immorality takes place.
Immorality is not only grounds for divorce; it is also grounds for forgiveness.
2. The only other reason God gives for divorce: desertion.
“Am I loving my wife as Christ loves the church?”
“Am I respecting my husband and submitting to his leadership?”
“Am I denying myself and putting the needs of my mate above my own?”
1. Walk with God.
2. Walk with your spouse.
3. Do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly.
4. Count the cost.
Jesus responded, “Let him that is without sin among you cast the first stone.”
Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more!”

volume_upOctober 21, 2022 The Biblical Worldview on Overcoming Fear & Worry | Rejoicing
Author Erma Bombeck was quoted as saying, “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere.” Matthew 6:27 is pretty frank: “Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us overcome fear and worry. In a new series, we’re learning to adopt a biblical worldview . . . and we’ll learn today that worldview doesn’t include worry. We’ll see worry and faith are mutually exclusive.

Where does your electricity come from in your home? The electric company, right? You’re connected directly. Your neighbor is connected directly. You’re not running an extension cord over to the neighbor’s to power up your lights (at least I hope not). Well, we each need a direct spiritual connection to our Heavenly Father. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how that sheds light on Paul’s injunction to “work out our own salvation.” Glad you’re along today for Pastor Greg’s Worldview Series.

Ever been the target of a scam? Many of us have—some without even realizing it. None of the scammers admit they’re trying to rip you off. They play upon your fear, or your kindness.

volume_upOctober 9, 2022 How to Get a New Husband | Sunday Message
In this special message, Cathe Laurie joins Pastor Greg to speak to women on being godly wives. Let’s set what culture says aside and instead turn to God’s Word for biblical insight on marriage. It’s a message you won’t want to miss!
Notes
If we want a marriage and family that succeeds, we must do it as God tell us to!
H. O. P. E
Holding On with Patient Expectation.
“Victory is not won by evacuation.” —Winston Churchill
1. Be the best version of yourself that you can be.
Proverbs 31 speaks of a balanced woman strong in every way.
The Bible reminds us to not focus on outward appearance alone.
The Godly woman focuses primarily on the internal but does not forget the external.
The word adornment is “cosmos” in Greek.
Note: The Bible does not forbid women to look attractive.
Paul gives a balanced view of a balanced believer.
The godly woman is known for her wisdom as well as her beauty.
2. Respect your man.
For a wife to win her husband requires her to respect him.
“When a husband feels disrespected, it is especially hard to love his wife. When a wife feels unloved, it is especially hard to respect her husband.” —Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
God is not calling on wives to feel respect; He is commanding them to show respectful behavior.
Let your beauty be primarily inward, but don’t forget the outward.
Respect and honor your husband.
Focus on actions over words to influence your husband.
A man needs to listen to what his wife has to say.
A woman needs to avoid the temptation to nag.
T. – True
H. – Helpful
I. – Inspiring
N. – Necessary
K. – Kind
Often in communication, we are speaking from different perspectives.
3. Submit to the leadership of your husband.
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28
The husband has the God-given responsibility to provide, protect, and lead just as the Lord does for the church!
“But Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” —Acts 5:29
Scripture Referenced
Song of Solomon 1:10
1 Timothy 4:8
Proverbs 31:26, 30
Ephesians 5:33
Proverbs 31:26
Proverbs 19:13; Proverbs 21:19

volume_upOctober 8, 2022 Life's Most Dangerous Word | Classic Crusade Message
In this classic crusade recording, Pastor Greg Laurie preaches a message titled, "Life's Most Dangerous Word." From this crusade event, we see the power of the gospel to change you and the power of God to satisfy your deepest longings.
Speaking to a large crowd, Pastor Greg gives tragic examples of people who pursue happiness and cannot find it in this world. The answer, we learn, is only found in a relationship with God, and we're invited to believe on the name of Christ today—not tomorrow.
Pastor Greg Laurie states, "Life's most dangerous word is tomorrow. Tomorrow sounds so innocent, but it's life's most dangerous word. Tomorrow is the road that leads to the town called Never. Tomorrow is the barred and bolted door that shuts people out of Heaven."
If you would like to learn more about having a personal relationship with God, just go to KnowGod.org.
This message was originally given at Harvest America at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, TX on the evening of June 10, 2018.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see what we’ll be doing in Heaven . . . and what things will be different from this life, and what things will largely be the same. It’s good insight from his series on the afterlife.

Well, as believers, there’ll come a time when we’re new and improved—for real. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out just how we’ll change personally when we get to Heaven.

volume_upOctober 2, 2022 How to Do Marriage Right | Sunday Message
Hear what Pastor Greg Laurie has to say about doing marriage God’s way! Husbands, this one’s especially for you!
Notes
A successful marriage is a total commitment.
Wedlock should be a padlock.
1. God created marriage.
Before God created the church, before God created the state, before God created the school, God created marriage.
As marriage goes, so goes the family.
As the family goes, so goes the nation.
Satan hates what God loves.
And the man said, “This is now bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man.” —Genesis 2:23
The Garden of Eden was perfection.
Some are called to singleness, and for them, friendship can fill this gap.
Neither Jesus nor Paul the apostle were married.
2. To have a marriage that works, requires you to do two essential things: leave and cleave.
The Hebrew word for leave is often translated as “abandon.”
The Hebrew word for cleave means, “to glue, to cling.”
Companion: One you are united with in thoughts, goals, plans, and efforts.
To dwell means, “to be aligned to or give maintenance to.”
Keep working on, maintaining, cultivating, and strengthening your marriage, because the moment you stop progressing, you potentially start regressing.
3. Men hold the key to a happy and working marriage.
Note: Paul takes more time and gives more space to what he says to the husband than he does the wife.
A successful marriage is not about finding the right person; it is being the right person.
4. Doing marriage right requires constant communication.
“A good marriage consists of two good forgivers.” —Ruth Graham
“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” —Proverbs 31:28
5. Doing marriage right comes back to a commitment you reaffirm every day.
Marriage is tough.
Dating reveals the best of you.
Marriage reveals the worst of you.
6. We need the power of the Spirit to be a good spouse.
The filling of the Holy Spirit will empower you to be a Godly spouse.
The wife cannot submit to her husband without the filling of the Holy Spirit.
If you are a Spirit-filled person, you will be a submitting person.
If you are a Spirit-filled person, you will think of others over yourself.
Wives are called to submit to the loving leadership of their husbands.
Husbands are to bow to the needs of their wives.
It’s not about you; it’s about your mate.
Most marriages fail because of selfishness.
Note: God uses marriage as a picture of His love for us.
Jesus came to the earth and died for your sins; He will forgive you.

We throw the word idol around pretty freely in our culture. “So-and-so is a teen idol” . . . “did you watch American Idol?” . . . “Humphrey Bogart was a matinee idol.” But, biblically speaking, an idol is a representation or symbol of an object of worship. It’s a clear transgression of the First Commandment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie warns about idol worship based on an epic confrontation in 1 Kings 18.

Where Our Focus Should Be
So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, ‘Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?’ (Acts 1:6)
After His resurrection, Jesus said to His disciples, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8 NLT). This statement was prompted by the following question from the disciples: “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” (verse 6 NLT). The disciples thought that the Messiah, Jesus, had come to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth. This was why it seemed like a mistake when He was crucified.
But as the Scriptures foretold, the Messiah would come first to suffer and die for the sins of the world. Then He would return to Earth and establish His Kingdom therein.
Jesus told them, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know” (verse 7 NLT). In other words, “Guys, will you get over this already? I’m not going to establish My earthly kingdom right now. That will come later. Stop focusing on when I’ll return and instead focus on what you are to do until I return.”
Today, there are still people asking when Jesus is coming back. And an occasional misguided person will say they know the date of Christ’s return. But Jesus said, “No one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows” (Matthew 24:36 NLT).
Our focus, therefore, should be on what we’re supposed to do while we await Christ’s return. The early Church had a job to do, and so do we. Jesus’s words in Acts 1 were not only for the first-century believers. He is still calling us to tell people everywhere about Him.Support the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

None of us likes to wait. Like when we’re on hold hearing that annoying music repeat over and over again. Or when we’re in line at the grocery store or the airport. Or in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, and our name is finally called and we go to the exam room to . . . wait some more. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that when we wait on GOD, it can renew us. We’ll see some great miracles took place through the prophet Elijah AFTER a time of waiting on the Lord.

volume_upSeptember 18, 2022 You’ve Got a Friend | Sunday Message
When it comes to our relationships, we should each ask, “Am I doing this right?” And we should turn to God for the answer. Kicking off a relevant series on relationships, Pastor Greg Laurie explores what the Bible says about godly friendships.
Notes
In a culture that is redefining everything, we need to go to God’s original plan.
A friendship is made up of two people committing themselves to one another.
Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
We need Godly friendships.
You become like the people you spend the most time with.
Show me your friends, and I will show you your future.
Some people bring joy wherever they go.
Some people bring joy whenever they go.
Which person are you?
“There are friends that destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.” —Proverbs 18:24
Look for godly people to be your closest friends.
If your friend has no relationship with God, and they are dragging you down, then it could be time to part company.
Give serious consideration about who you want to be your friends.
Friends matter because you will influence them as they will influence you.
As friends, we need to encourage one another, not discourage others.
True friends support each other through thick and thin.
A friend can help you through the hard times.
True friends share their burdens with each other.
True friends tell each other the truth.
A true friend will tell you when you’re doing the wrong thing, too.
“A true friend always stabs you in the front.” —Oscar Wilde
True friends resolve their conflicts.
“Envy grows naturally in a relationship between equals.” —Aristotle
Envy has been described as a small town sin that breeds on proximity.
“The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.” —Victor Hugo
Once you have had your disagreement, try to find a resolution.
Fight to resolve, not to win.
If you go into to win, you lose, even if you win.
Try out these eight words that you should be willing to say everyday:
“I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” and “I love you.”
Jesus is the perfect friend.
True friends of Jesus obey Him continually.
True friends of Jesus obey God in even the smallest matters.
Do you have a relationship with God?
Jesus is much more than a friend; He is also a Savior.

volume_upSeptember 13, 2022 Christ’s Call to Courage | Speaking Up for Truth
Many people feel they just can’t function in the morning with their cup of coffee. But, long ago, coffee met with grumpy, nearly global opposition for hundreds of years (They were grumpy ‘cause they hadn’t had their coffee). People oppose lots of things, but then come to embrace them warmly. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we need to realize that people need the message we share, and we need to find the courage to share it even in the face of opposition.

volume_upSeptember 12, 2022 How to Live a Meaningful Life | Spirit of Generosity
Wouldn’t it be a remarkable world if everyone tried to out-give one another? If we saw someone in need, we automatically took care of it. We were always looking for ways to help. But we don’t live in a culture of givers, it seems like we live in a culture of takers. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how a spirit of generosity is part of the prescription for living a more meaningful life. We’re considering the Apostle Paul’s counsel about living in a way that honors God.

volume_upSeptember 11, 2022 It’s Time for Another Jesus Revolution! | Sunday Message
What does it take for God to turn around an entire generation? The answer may be closer to home than you think. In this special message, Pastor Greg Laurie gives reasons to hope for another spiritual awakening in your lifetime—and shares how you can play a part.
Notes
America is at a crossroads right now.
We are seeking to redefine what God has defined.
We are sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind.
The seeds we sowed in the ‘60s have become a crop of destruction today.
This younger generation is looking for answers.
Today’s younger generation needs help!
God sent a spiritual awakening before, and we want this next generation to have one too!
“Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?” —Psalm 85:6
Our responsibility is to tell the next generation what God did for us.
Revolution means, “upheaval” and “change”; it also means “turning around” or “rotating.” It’s returning to something.
America has never been more divided.
God says the source of the problems is His house, the church!
An earmark of the Jesus Movement:
The Holy Spirit was at work in our lives.
An earmark of the Jesus Movement:
There was a belief in the soon return of Jesus.
Jesus has given us an unprecedented open door.
We need to look for open doors to share our faith.
We should never put a wall up where God has opened a door.
God has given us the power and resources we need.
We need to keep God’s Word and not deny His name.
Open your heart and life to the work of the Holy Spirit.
Be ready for the Lord’s imminent return.
Walk through the doors God opens for you and take risks.
Keep His Word and be faithful.
Scripture Referenced
Joel 1:3
2 Chronicles 7:14

volume_upSeptember 9, 2022 How to Live a Meaningful Life | Giving It Your All
In any gym, there are people there who are just getting it done . . . a certain number of reps, a certain duration of time, and–whew!–they’re done, and they’re gone. And there are others who push themselves, and they give it their all! And it shows. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that this life is too important to muddle through. The Lord wants us to run this race with endurance, and to run this race to win. We’ll learn more about how to do that in Acts.

volume_upSeptember 8, 2022 How to Reach Our Culture with The Gospel | 6 Things to Consider
As believers, sometimes it seems we’re living in some kind of weird, upside-down culture where right is wrong, up is down, and sin is to be celebrated. We feel disoriented, like aliens on a strange planet. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that sometimes people may feel a bit disoriented when they talk to us. He’ll show us ways to find common ground, use common language, and capture their interest with our message of hope.

volume_upSeptember 7, 2022 How to Reach Our Culture with The Gospel | Finding the Right Approach
As believers who want to share our faith, sometimes it would seem we’re attempting to deliver a message that many people just don’t want to hear. They think they don’t NEED to hear it. The truth is, everyone needs the hope of Jesus Christ. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us that God built us with a hunger for God. People may try to feed that hunger with the things of this world, but sooner or later they’ll come to realize their hunger is for something more.

volume_upSeptember 6, 2022 How to Look Up When Things Look Down | Uncomplicating the Gospel
Some people come to Christ instantly, as soon as they hear the Gospel. It’s the miracle of a moment. Others resist that decision for decades, until one day they realize their need for Christ. Sometimes it’s a crisis or tragedy that brings them to that point, other times it’s as though their eyes suddenly opened. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us the miraculous conversion of a certain Philippian jailer . . . a conversion that would sweep through his entire family.

volume_upSeptember 5, 2022 How to Look Up When Things Look Down | Opening Up to God
We like to put our best foot forward. It’s a cultural thing. We keep certain things to ourselves. If we’ve just bounced a check, or we’re in over our head at work, or there’s relationship stress, we stay silent on those subjects. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that when Jesus makes His home in our hearts, we give Him permission to explore the hidden issues we’re keeping to ourselves—yeah, including the one you’re thinking about right now. Let’s get some good encouragement.

volume_upSeptember 4, 2022 The Foolish Wise Man | Sunday Message
How can I serve God? That’s a question every Christian should ask themselves. As Pastor Greg Laurie says, every Christian is called to serve Him—and it should be our greatest joy. See what other insightful comments he has in this special message.
Notes
“For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his generation, fell asleep.” —Acts 13:36
To fall asleep means, “to die.”
A long life is not the objective; fulfilling God’s purpose for your life is.
1. Focus on what God has given you, not on what He did not give you.
One day, we too will give our final words.
2. Have an intimate relationship with God.
3. Serve God with a whole heart and willing mind—a person who really knows God will want to serve God.
“The joy of the Lord is your strength!” —Nehemiah 8:10
Every Christian is called to serve God.
4. Put God first in your life and everything else will find its proper order.
Prayer is about getting our will in alignment with God’s Will.
God answered Solomon’s prayer and gave him great wisdom.
Solomon compromised his relationship with God.
Solomon disobeyed God’s commandments and married a nonbeliever.
It’s much harder to pull someone up than it is for them to pull you down.
Solomon compromised his morality.
In Hebrew, to seek and explore means, “to investigate the roots of a matter.”
Solomon looked to the pursuit of knowledge without God.
After many years wasted, Solomon finally came to his senses.
Solomon warned others to not make the same mistake (Ecclesiastes 12:1).
The end of a life is known by its beginning, and the evening by the morning of it.
If you leave God out of the picture, your life is going to be empty, meaningless, and futile.
Before you know it, you, like Solomon, will have more life behind you than before.
You have two major dates in your life:
Your date of birth and date of death.
Scripture Referenced
2 Corinthians 6:14
Ecclesiastes 12:13–14

volume_upSeptember 2, 2022 How to Resolve Conflict | Practical Help
In so many arguments, as one person is making her point, the other person is formulating his response. He’s not really hearing her point, he’s preparing his counterpoint. It’s tactical gamesmanship, and they’re keeping mental score. Hopefully that DOESN’T sound familiar. But if it does, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn to resolve conflict by following an example we see in Scripture. Today, practical help for everyone.

volume_upSeptember 1, 2022 How to Resolve Conflict | Choosing the Right Response
Disagreement and conflict is almost inevitable in human relationships. When that happens, some people put up their fists . . . others call up their lawyer. Others look up the Proverb that says a soft answer turns away wrath. In the big picture, those moments can either undergird our efforts to share Christ, or undermine them. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us deal with everyone in a spirit of grace and humility. We’re in Acts chapter 15.
