Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

Certain things people say can SOUND like they’re true. But they’re not. Before the railroad was invented, it was believed people couldn’t ever travel faster than 30 miles an hour because air would rush past them and they wouldn’t be able to breathe. How fast were you driving to work today? And you’re still here! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Gre...

Ever play the telephone game? You and some others gather in a circle. Someone whispers a message to the first person, who whispers it to the second and so on. When the last person reveals what he heard, it’s obvious that the message got wildly distorted. Some people seem to play a game like that with their Bible knowledge. They rely on what they’ve heard the Bible s...

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

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

Some people bake a double batch of cookies and then wonder why they’re tempted to eat sweets.

The trees with the strongest root systems are not those where a breeze blows gently through the leaves. No, the strongest trees face challenging winds which cause their root systems to grow deeper.

Have you noticed how problems always seem bigger in the middle of the night? They can overwhelm us. They can rob us of sleep and steal our peace. In the middle of the night, when we can’t figure out what to do, we need to remember that God works the night shift. He’s up all night anyway, why not cast our cares on Him? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie ret...

How many of us have worried a problem away? We spent hours wracked with anxiety, and that did it! Problem solved. No, not likely. Author Erma Bombeck famously said, “Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere.” Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it’s actually possible to live a worry-f...

We’ve all been treated unfairly. Maybe they let us down, they put us down, they kept us down. And we may have paid a dear price for it. Maybe it happened 20 years ago . . . or 20 minutes ago. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out what it does to us when we carry that burden of resentment. We’ll look to the words of Jesus Himself and find a way to s...

Think of the conversations you have with a good friend of yours. If the only time you spoke to them was to ask a favor or borrow a couple of bucks, that relationship would start to feel pretty shallow.

The Apostle Paul poses some essential questions in Romans chapter 10: How can non-believers call on Jesus to save them unless they believe in Him?

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how important it is that we share the Good News of...

We all have a bit of an actor inside us—not the Broadway type or a movie star, but the kind who can muster up some enthusiasm when we need to. We might force a courtesy chuckle when someone tells a corny joke. But when it comes to our Christian witness, it’s got to be the real deal. It’s not about putting on a show but about living a life of genuine faith. Tod...
