Episodes
P.S. I Love You | Compassion at the Core
How do you pass along the cold, hard truth and a warm and loving way? Is it in the words we choose . . . the body language we present . . . the context in which it’s expressed? Yes, yes and yes. But more than that, today Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it comes from a heart of genuine compassion and concern, energized by God’s love. Today here on A NEW BEGINNING, Past
When Love Moves In, Fear Moves Out | Love That Brings Us Home
Not many people come into the Kingdom because they were sufficiently brow-beaten by someone sharing their faith. Few have surrendered to Christianity simply because they lost a fiery religious debate. The Bible tells us “His kindness leads us to repentance.” God’s love can soften the hardest of hearts. God’s mercy beckons those who’ve lost their wa
When Love Moves In, Fear Moves Out | Spotting Spiritual Scams
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, right? We’ve seen the headlines: People getting duped by smooth talkers, shady deals, and empty promises. But some of the most dangerous scams aren’t financial . . . they’re spiritual. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us spot the fakes and hold fast to the truth. From Ivy League mission statem
Overcoming the Great Deceiver: Truth in a World of Fakes | Forgiven and Free
Many of us remember our most embarrassing moment. Maybe we said something we shouldn’t have . . . or did something we shouldn’t have. It may have been silly or something serious but we remember everything about that moment. Sometimes our sin can be like that. We know the Lord has forgiven us, but we’re not too sure we’ve forgiven us. Today on A NEW BEGIN
Overcoming the Great Deceiver: Truth in a World of Fakes | Fighting From Victory
Our spiritual adversary has been at war with believers for a long time. Thousands of years, in fact. He knows how to trip us up . . . and sadly, admittedly, he’s pretty good at it. So how do we stand strong? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to the battle-tested truth of God’s Word. The good news? We’re not fighting for victory; we’r
Packing for Eternity | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)
When we pack for a vacation or trip to a different place, it’s important to bring the right kind of stuff. If you're going to Tahiti, you'll want to pack more shorts, light-colored clothes, and swim gear! If you’re going to the snowy mountains, then lots and lots of layers will fill your suitcase. But what about the place we'll all go if we trust in Jesus—what do we bring on our
How I Helped Bring My Father to Jesus Christ
In this fascinating story we're revisiting today, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us behind the scenes of Jesus Revolution, sharing the true story of what happened when he reconnected with his adopted father, Oscar Laurie. Pastor Greg calls it "one of the most amazing conversions" he's witnessed. It's a powerful story of faith, repentance, and healing. The Harvest Crusade is coming to An
Overcoming the Great Deceiver: Truth in a World of Fakes | Seeing Through the Lies
It’s become more and more difficult to distinguish the genuine from the counterfeit. A.I. has us all scratching our heads and wondering whether we should believe what we see. But the father of fakery is none other than our spiritual adversary. He’s referred to as the Great Deceiver. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us spot his deceptions, and s
Signs of The Last Days & Why You Shouldn’t Panic | If Today Were the Day
If you really believed Jesus could come back at any moment, would it change how you live today? That’s what Pastor Greg Laurie explores on this edition of A NEW BEGINNING. It’s not about guessing dates or decoding headlines, it’s about being ready. Pastor Greg offers some fresh perspective, and a helpful reminder that Jesus isn’t coming back for a perfec
Signs of The Last Days & Why You Shouldn’t Panic | Your Future Is Secure
Every time something huge happens in the world, people start asking, “Wait… is this it? Is Armageddon about to begin?” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie examines what the Bible actually says about the End Times, and why we don’t need to panic. God’s not caught off guard by any of this. He’s had a plan from the very start. And that
Unshakeable: When Faith Feels Fragile | Cleansed Completely
For years, dry cleaners have used strong chemicals to remove tough stains from delicate fabrics. Things like perchloroethylene, DF2000 and liquid silicone. And usually, the stain goes away. But what do we do with the stain of sin . . . the stain that’s evident on every human heart. “What can wash away my sin – nothing but the blood of Jesus.” Today on A
Unshakeable: When Faith Feels Fragile | Built for the Storm
The time to buy a fire extinguisher is before a fire starts. The right time to put on your seatbelt? When you first get in – before the car accident. The time to prepare for a crisis? When things in your life seem just fine. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us strengthen our faith for those seasons when our passion has faded and our spiritual tank has ru
Off Leash | Sunday Message (Jonathan Laurie)
Notes: Luke 17 God gives us biblical principles to free us from our three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. The freedom that the world offers is slavery. Read Luke 17:1–2 (NKJV) Your Influence Is Never Neutral. Matthew 12:30 (NKJV)"He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.”You cannot impress people and
The Lauries Discuss God's Faithfulness, Their Family, and More

The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11! Stay
Unshakeable: When Faith Feels Fragile | Secure Salvation
When we give someone a birthday gift, we don’t ask them to give it back when they disappoint us. Well, God doesn’t revoke the gift of eternal life when we do something that displeases Him. Our salvation was purchased at Calvary . . . and that purchase was final. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we can rest in the finished work of our salva
Finishing What You Start | Stay Charged
Ever let your phone battery run down to almost nothing? You think you’re fine . . . until suddenly the screen goes dark and you’re desperate for a charger. It’s easy to neglect our faith the same way and soon we feel spiritually drained and like we’re running on empty. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us stay charged and connected for t
Finishing What You Start | What We Water Grows
Life can be like tending a garden. What we water grows. If we spend all our time feeding worry, pleasure, and listening to the voice of our adversary, we shouldn’t be surprised when weeds take over. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus our attention carefully. The voices we listen to are like seeds. Some bring peace, others just bring pests. At some
Never Give Up | Built by the Book
Imagine assembling a complicated piece of furniture without the instructions. You wind up with extra screws, a wobbly chair, and maybe a bruised ego. That’s a good picture of life without the Bible! God’s Word is our instruction manual, keeping us from poor decisions and the Devil’s smooth sales pitches. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows how t
Never Give Up | Deadly Directions
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says GPS-related navigation errors lead to over 200,000 car accidents annually in the U.S. alone. Many drivers blindly followed GPS instructions right straight into trouble. Spiritually speaking, that’s what happens when we listen to the Devil. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, our adversary’s
What Happens One Minute After You Die? | Sunday Message
“What happens one minute after you die?” Jesus answered it plainly in Luke 16. Listen in to today's message from Pastor Greg Laurie. Notes: Luke 16 Everyone will die and enter the afterlife.Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV)And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.

Rebuilding the Ruins of Your Life | Built by Many
Ever try to move a couch all by yourself? Oh boy. Suddenly it’s jammed in the doorway, you’re wedged in with it, and it feels like you’re stuck in a sitcom. But if a few friends help out, no one has to lose their sanity. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to a great biblical example of teamwork. Nehemiah wants to rebuild the broken walls of
Rebuilding the Ruins of Your Life | Time to Move
Do you ever sit in your car with the engine running but haven’t yet put it in drive? You can pray for direction all day, but at some point, you’ve got to step on the gas. Pastor Greg Laurie says our Christian walk is like that. There’s a time to be still and trust, but there’s also a time to move. Maybe God is calling you to take action, just like He did 
Revival Starts Here | When Life Is Too Much
Ever carry too many grocery bags at once thinking you can handle it, and then . . . aah! . . . one bag breaks, another slips out of your hands, and everything’s on the ground? In life, we try to hold it all together, but sometimes it’s just too much. Maybe you’re facing a crisis, a tragedy, or just feeling overwhelmed. God is there, ready to help you pick up t
Revival Starts Here | In Sync Again
A musical instrument sounds beautiful when it’s in tune, but over time, the strings loosen, and the notes go flat. But with a little attention and the right adjustments, it can be restored to the perfect pitch. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the same is true in our spiritual lives. When we drift out of sync with God, we’re not lost—w
Revival Starts Here | Start the Spark
Remember Smokey the Bear? His correct name is Smokey Bear, a fictional spokesperson for the U.S. Forest Service. He’d say, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Yeah, fires can start by one careless person. But when it comes to the fire of revival, that fire can start with one person who does care. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us be th
The Eldest Son | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)
Pastor Jonathan Laurie breaks down the story of the prodigal son by spotlighting the older brother—the one who stayed, obeyed, and still missed the father’s heart. Notes Luke 15:11–32 (NKJV) Luke 15:11–24 The younger brother rejected the father, rebelled, and pursued pleasure. The son’s request would be unheard of in the first century. 
Tips for Reaching Your Family with the Gospel
In essence, believers are a part of two families. We’re a part of our earthly families, and we’re part of the family of God. There are privileges and responsibilities that go with both. Pastor Greg Laurie points out how it’s sometimes difficult to share about our faith with our earthly family. Sometimes, one family doesn’t want to hear about the other one. Listen in for goo
Am I Doing This Right? Special Interview
Pastor Greg Laurie has counsel today for husbands (and wives) on undergirding our marriages. “You need to tell them you find them beautiful. You need to tell them you appreciated the meal. You love what they’re doing with the house. You see them being such a great mother to your children. Or whatever it is, you need to be building one another up. Far too often
The Name That Changes Everything | The Help We All Need
Ever found yourself between a rock and a hard place with a home repair project? If you do this, the house catches fire. If you do that, the house falls down. So you call “the guy.” The guy who knows stuff. He comes in and turns the whatchamacallit right side up, and job done. Where can we find that kind of help to turn the rest of our lives right side up? Pastor Gre
The Name That Changes Everything | The Impact That Lasts
You’ve probably met someone who left an indelible mark on your life. A friend, a loved one, a coach, a teacher. Maybe it was something they said, or the way they stepped in right when you needed it. Long after the moment passed, that impact stayed with you. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to the One who still changes lives like that today . . . but
The God Who Feels Your Pain | Strength in Our Sorrows
We talk of the Word of God as being our sword . . . our sword of the Spirit in spiritual battle. We speak of it being food for our hungry souls. But it’s also a steady life preserver when we get pulled under by pressure and panic. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us the comfort we meet when the Bible calls Jesus a man of sorrows, acquainted with grie
The God Who Feels Your Pain | Paid in Full
None of us likes to pay bills. And we particularly don’t want to pay our next door neighbor’s bills. Well, spiritually speaking, the Bible is clear that a price had to be paid for the sins of mankind. A high price. But Jesus paid it on our behalf. We owed a debt we couldn’t pay, but Jesus paid a debt He didn’t owe. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Gr
Jesus and the Mother Who Wouldn't Give Up | Sunday Message
When hardship comes, we know what we have to do: stay focused on Jesus, keep having faith. But sometimes that doesn’t come easily. Pastor Greg delivers encouragement and guidance.

What Moms Want for Mother's Day: A Special Interview
In this special (throwback) discussion with Cathe Laurie, Brittni Laurie, and Tiffany Velasquez, Pastor Greg Laurie asks what mothers need to feel appreciated and what we should see as the primary goals of motherhood. In a study, 85 percent of millennial mothers report wanting to be reassured that they are doing a good job. Pastor Greg asks whether this is true, and how families can express
Staying Cool When Things Get Hot | Trust the Creator
Have you ever looked up into the starry sky on a clear night? You’re awestruck at the vastness of outer space. If that weren’t awesome enough, God created the heavens and the earth with just the power of His Word. You think He might be able to handle the problem on your mind right now? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us good encouragement about t
Staying Cool When Things Get Hot | Turning Pain Into Prayer
Believers are drawn to worship. Love compels us. But we’re also drawn to God when life gives us nowhere else to go. When trials bring us to our knees, that’s the perfect position to pray. We can waste time focusing on “why” . . . asking why it happened. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to “Who” . . . Who is the One w
Jesus & The Person Who Is Afraid | Courage Over Compromise
We live in an age of compromise, concession and appeasement. The culture would have us look the other way in the face of wrong-doing. Just go along to get along. What’s that they say . . . people who don’t stand for something will fall for anything. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie urges us to be courageous in our walk with the Lord. We have the good new
Jesus & The Person Who Is Afraid | Strength for the Fearful
More than 80% of Generation Z kids say they’re stressed out. 4 out of 5. 1 in 3 adults lose sleep over their finances. And nearly three quarters fear the future. Is that the way God wants us to live? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us a biblical antidote for the anxiety that grips our hearts. We’ll follow the example of a reluctant warrior in the
Wrestling with God | The Illusion of Control
There’s a famous poem about defiant independence featuring phrases like “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” The Lord probably finds that poem pretty funny. The Bible says the earth is God’s footstool. And He hears a wee, little voice say I am the captain of my soul. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us a fresh per
No Good Excuses: Why We Say No to God | Sunday Message
The first known excuse in human history is found in Genesis with Adam. We all have excuses for doing, or not doing, something. But Pastor Greg points out that underneath it all is simply, “I don’t want to.” What excuses are you handing God? — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission
Four Words That Can Change Your Marriage
God invented marriage—and we need to get back to the original template. In a world full of hot takes, shifting expectations, and “whatever works” advice, it’s easy to absorb the culture’s story about marriage without realizing it. But Scripture takes us back to the beginning: God’s original design, God’s purpose, and God’s pathway for a marriag
Wrestling with God | When Wills Collide
God gave us free will. And what a risky gift that is. Sure, it’s fine when the biggest choice is coffee or tea . . . sneakers or sandals. But what happens when our will collides with God’s will? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes on the danger of saying, “Thanks, God, but I’ve got this.” He’ll walk us through the story of an O
God Is Now Here | Love That Rescues
Sin can have lethal consequences! God had a rescue plan from the very beginning, but that plan required His Son to give His own life so that we could live. Jesus’ death wasn’t a good plan gone bad . . . it was God’s perfect plan to redeem imperfect man. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the plan of Redemption is the ultimately example o
God Is Now Here | He Hears You Even Now
Ever walk up to an order counter and not a soul pays attention to you? You clear your throat . . . you utter a polite “excuse me” . . . nothing. Some people think they get the same response when they call on God. Silence. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God hears our prayers, He cares about our needs, and He never stops working on our be
Jesus & The Great Commission | Faith You Can See
Ever searched YouTube for how-to help and found some guy fixing a leaky faucet with nothing but a sock and a taco shell? Somehow, it worked, and you watched the whole thing. Why? Because we learn by watching someone else do it first. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains it’s the same with the Christian life. We help people find Jesus, and show them how to
Jesus & The Great Commission | Eternity Is on the Line
The number one reason believers don’t share their faith is fear: “What if I offend that person? What if it changes the relationship?” Would we be concerned about that if their home was on fire and they were in danger? Well, the Gospel saves people from a very real eternal danger. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how Jesus Himself direc
The Things That Own Us | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)
There are things that own us—whether obviously or silently. Fears, discontentment, the opinions of others… But Jesus reminds us that God is the One who should own our lives. And when we allow Him to, we find real freedom. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.
Jesus & The Pretender | Betrayed, Tried, and Crucified
Jesus was arrested and subject to unjust trials before the Jewish leaders and Roman governor Pilate. Though found innocent, He was sentenced to death to appease the crowd. Jesus was scourged, mocked, and forced to carry His cross to Golgotha. There, He was crucified between two criminals, ultimately dying to pay the penalty for our sin. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us it
Jesus & The Pretender | The Apostle Who Was a Fraud
We’ve all heard the phrase, “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Someone who seems harmless and pleasant, maybe even trustworthy, but who really is a hidden danger. These kind of people can be anywhere – classmates, co-workers, church members. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us understand these people, and be on our guard. We’ll consider one such indiv
Jesus & The Last Days | Insight for the Last Days
The more we believe a warning, the more it changes our actions. If the car makes a funny noise, we think, “Hmm, that’s odd.” Now, the elevator makes a funny noise and our adrenaline immediately starts flowing. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us words of insight and warning about what’s to come during God’s Last Days plan. It’s information tha
Jesus & The Last Days | Hope in a Shaking World
A lot of big things have happened in our world recently. In the last weeks, months, and even a few years, we’ve seen earth-shaking developments, many of which seemed to pop up overnight. Well, God’s Word tells us about some changes coming that we can’t even imagine. It’ll be a time of Great Tribulation! And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie answers our questions
Jesus & The Heart That Grieves | A Glimpse Beyond This Life
It’s a question baked in to the human condition. People have been asking it for millennia: “What happens after we die?” So many contemplate, speculate, postulate, and hyperventilate over the topic. Today, Pastor Greg Laurie simply extrapolates what God has already told us on the subject. Glad you’re along for A NEW BEGINNING as we pull back the curtain to see what’s w
The Lord's Prayer | Sunday Message
Pastor Greg Laurie speaks on the Lord's Prayer in a way you may have never heard. Jesus didn't just give us words to recite—He gave us a roadmap, a complete model for how to speak to God.

I Forgave the Man Who Brutally Tortured Me: Louis Zamperini's Miracle Story
Louis Zamperini was an Olympic athlete and war hero who survived being adrift at sea and POW torture. But the most important and powerful part of his incredible story is what came after. Everything changed for Louis when he encountered Jesus Christ at a Billy Graham crusade—trauma, rage, and all. Listen to the entire interview with Pastor Greg Laurie and Louis now on The Greg Laurie Sho
Jesus & The Heart that Grieves | From Confusion to Clarity
Ever look at a puzzle piece and try to guess the whole picture? It’s nearly impossible, until you step back and see the top of the box. So it is with life. We see a just piece (often a painful piece) but God sees the big picture. His perspective is higher, and His timing is better. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows how to trust God even when life doesn’t make sense. If
Jesus & The Mother Who Wouldn’t Give Up | Praying With Confidence
Some people treat prayer like it’s a game of chance. Like Bingo. They bring their petition to the Lord and then wait to see if they “get lucky.” “You win some, you lose some.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to pray with more confidence. It’s not up to luck, it’s up to the Lord . . . the Lord who loves us, and cares for us, and
Jesus & The Mother Who Wouldn’t Give Up | Trusting the God Who Can
Some people don’t understand the logic of faith. Believers put their trust in a God who parted the Red Sea, raised the dead, healed the sick, calm ed the storm, walked on water . . . and created the heavens and the earth. Doesn’t it make sense to trust a God like that? Does it make sense not to. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings a story about a woman who had faith tha
Jesus & The Man Who Needed a 2nd Chance | Avoiding the Pitfalls of Faith
The Bible teaches us how to think and how to behave. And we see it demonstrated in the lives of the heroes of our faith. They were people of commitment, and people of action. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus on one particular biblical action figure to see the steps that lead to spiritual failure . . . so we can avoid them! Peter sometimes showed us what to do, and so
Jesus & The Man Who Needed a 2nd Chance | Grace After the Fall
They say Thomas Edison failed ten thousand times to make a viable electric light bulb. When asked about all those strikeouts, Edison would reportedly say, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us explore the failure of a certain apostle. He did the unthinkable, but we’ll see the Lord responded with the
What the Resurrection of Jesus Means to You | Sunday Message
When the disciples saw their Lord crucified on the cross, their hopes and dreams were dashed. But where they saw an ending, God brought a new beginning. In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie explores the defining event of our faith. Find out “What the Resurrection of Jesus Means to You” in this message. Notes The cross was Jesus’ goal and destination from the very beginning;
Can Jesus' Deity Be Proven Without the New Testament?
Crime shows are extremely popular today—especially “true crime,” where investigators solve real-life crime stories and cold cases. On this historical episode, Pastor Greg Laurie interviews J. Warner Wallace, a retired cold-case detective who now investigates the claims of Jesus Christ. In this special interview, Jim Wallace takes on a bold question: “If we didn’t have
Jesus and The Open Heart | A Sold‑Out Faith
Nothing takes the place of a sold-out relationship with the Lord. Not a big check in the offering plate, not packing a pew with friends and relatives on Sunday morning, not even the “God is my co-pilot” bumper stick on the back of the car. No, as Pastor Greg Laurie points out today on A NEW BEGINNING, Jesus doesn’t so much want what we have or what we can do. He wants us. He want
Jesus and The Open Heart | Letting God In
Adulthood toughens us. Every time we’re lied to, let down, or taken advantage of, we build a thicker skin and vow, “Never again.” Over time, that can make us skeptical, and even cynical. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us that a hardened heart can’t fully connect with God. It’s like we’re turtles hiding in our shells, keeping everyone ou
Jesus and The Brokenhearted | Tuned In to Jesus
Modern radios are very selective. They pick up one station at a time. So as you listen to A NEW BEGINNING, you’re not hearing the latest hit on the Polka Parade, or pork belly prices from the farm report. Today, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we need to be just as selective with our hearing. It’s all too easy to let the voices of our culture plant ideas and values in our heads. But toda
Jesus and The Brokenhearted | The Miracle You Need
A miracle is defined as “a surprising and welcome event that is not explainable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.” Essentially, something awesome: God did it. So many of us have needed a miracle at times . . . maybe you need one right now. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie talks about these kind of supernatural
Jesus and The Lonely Man | When We Truly Follow Him
It makes no sense to complain the car won’t start if it’s out of gas. It makes no sense to complain about sitting in the dark if we haven’t turned on the light switch. Well, when it comes to Christianity, author G.K. Chesterton said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pas
A Second Chance at Easter | Easter Sunday Message
Easter is not only a time to reflect on what happened to Jesus, but what can happen to you. This Easter 2026, Pastor Greg Laurie shares a message for anyone who has failed, fallen, or feels like they've gone too far.

Your Failure Isn't Final: Easter from Simon Peter's Perspective
In this special episode, Pastor Greg Laurie relates the incredible personal experience Simon Peter had with Jesus on the first Easter.

Discover more about the hope of Easter when you tune in to our holiday service tomo
A New Day Dawning | Because He Conquered the Grave
Bible scholars have pointed out that the Bible tells us to fear not about 365 times. 365. Enough for a daily dose of reassurance. And don’t we all need it? Every day, there are plenty of reasons for worry, fear and panic. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Easter season is a great opportunity for a fresh outlook on life and its challenges. All based on the fact that
A New Day Dawning | The Day Death Lost
Think of all the things we do to stay alive. We fasten our seat belts. We buy fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. We lock our doors. We wear sunscreen. We take our vitamins and look both ways before we cross the street. We don’t want to die. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how death has already died. We’ll see that’s the central message of Easter, and
Jesus and The Lonely Man | The Power of True Connection
According to the Mayo Clinic, adults with strong social support minimize many health problems, including depression, high blood pressure, and unhealthy weight gain. So there you go – more friends, less weight. But, in reality, we need connections in our lives. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the blessing of having a friendship with Jesus. “What a friend we h
Jesus and the Moral Man | A Little Jesus Isn’t Enough
Some people just want to try a little bit of Jesus. As though Christianity was one of the dishes at a religion buffet. “Give me just a small scoop of that. I just want to bring a smile to my face, not a change to my heart.” But when we truly invite Jesus in, He’ll make us new people, head to toe, free from the chains of our past. And today on A NEW BEGINNING,
Jesus and the Moral Man | A Journey Toward Something More
Some may think Jesus is only for the needy, the neglected, the “down and out.” But Pastor Greg Laurie has pointed out before, Jesus is for the “up and outers,” as well. He’s for those who’ve tried and failed, He’s for those who’ve tried and succeeded. He’s for everyone! For God so loved the world! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor

Jesus and The Doubter | Even Heroes Had Doubts
Many believers have a time of doubt once a while. It’s not a good feeling, is it? We may wish we had the faith of those men and women in the Bible: steadfast, immovable, faith as solid as a rock. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that even some our biblical heroes encountered doubt. In fact, we’ll focus on one in particular today. But Past
Jesus and The Doubter | From Doubt to Strength
Bad things do happen . . . even to God’s children. We see it in the Bible. Job’s tragedies were mind boggling. Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers. The disciples faced persecution and even martyrdom for their faith. When we face challenges, how do we keep that from turning to doubt?
