Someone has said, “if the only tool you have is a hammer, it’s tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.” The government tends to treat the ills of society by throwing money at them. And many times, the projects are just well-funded failures. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the family is the fabric of society, but that fabric is fraying. The o...

Researchers in Texas discovered that a candle in the darkness can be seen from a distance of 1.6 miles. Small lights can pierce the darkest of nights.

No matter what we do professionally, it’s how we share God’s love and...

If you walk through a busy airport, you’ll see some people are casually moving toward their gate, but others are sprinting as fast as they can. Why? Because they’re running out of time – they don’t want to miss their flight. The lateness of the hour affects the action of their feet. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says we should show that same urgency when it c...

The Bible calls believers “ambassadors for Christ.” We’re public representatives. But when others find out that we’re believers, do they say, “I thought so” . . . or do they say, “Really, you could’ve fooled me”? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how important it is to display the love of God to those around us and how we...

The key to financial security is spend less than you make. The key to driving safely is keep your eyes on the road.

As the Lord’s Last Days plan begins to unfold, there will be chaos unlike anything anyone’s ever seen before. God will pour out his judgement on rebellious man, but Satan will mount a vicious attack through his minions. And that attack will be focused on the nation Israel. Israel is the bull’s-eye for all the animosity arising from the Pit. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Gr...

Whenever an earthquake occurs, scientists focus immediately on the epicenter. Where did all this shaking start? It can inform their view of the bigger picture. Well, when it comes to Middle East tension, and God’s plan for the End Times, the epicenter of everything is Israel. And that’s our focus today as Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series on the Last Days called The Future is Wri...

Think of your spiritual journey. Think back to when you heard about Jesus and came to know Him as your Savior. More than likely at least one other person was involved in inviting you to come to Christ. What if they had been silent that day? What if they were afraid of what you might say, or what questions you might ask? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the privilege and resp...

When we know our pain and discomfort are temporary, it’s a whole lot easier to stick with it. When long distance runners have the finish line in sight, they kick even harder because they know relief is coming. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the joy that’s coming as a part of the Lord’s End Times plan. Jesus is coming soon, and that’s when our pain a...

Most pilots follow an unwritten rule: if they flip a certain switch and the plane suddenly starts going crazy, they switch it back. Pretty basic. Well, spiritually, if we think a certain path we’ve chosen is God’s will for our lives but then our lives suddenly fall apart, maybe it’s worth reconsidering. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings helpful insights on follo...

When God’s people say let’s rise and build, the devil says let’s rise and oppose. We should expect opposition when doing God's work—but we need to press on.

Sometimes, problems seem to come our way in droves. When it rains, it pours. Ever been at the end of your rope? Someone has said, when you get to the end of yourself, you get to the beginning of God. And the Bible is replete with accounts of God stepping in at the right place, at the right time, for just the right reason. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how God specialize...

When you’re driving clear across the country, you might encounter the Rocky Mountains. A huge mountain range. Pikes Peak alone jets up more than 14,000 feet into the sky. But when you fly over those mountains on an airliner, it kinda looks like the same ground you saw an hour ago but with more . . . texture. So it is with differing perspectives. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laur...

GPS systems have come a long way over the years. Not only can they show the best route, but traffic along the way, coffee stores, gas stations and fast food. You know exactly which way to go and how long it’ll take. But you still have to put the car in drive and get moving. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the same is true in our walk with God. After we’ve pr...

We love to watch movies where the hero is stuck in an impossible situation with time running out. Will he make it? Can he make it? And he’s rescued just in the nick of time. But when WE’RE stuck in a tough spot, it’s not nearly as enjoyable. No inspiring music – maybe just an icy, lonely silence. And it may look like our time is up. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Lau...

Nehemiah was someone who saw need and did something about it. We should be the same way.

Scripture says the church is the body of Christ. #2  There is a time to pray then there is a time to move.   #3 Nehemiah had a plan.   Read Nehemiah 2:7...

One of the great tools to memorization is repetition. If we hear something over and over, we can’t help but remember. We didn’t intend to memorize the words to that TV theme, or that corny commercial, but they’re stuck in our heads. Why? Repetition. The real question is, what do we let our minds hear over and over. But the fact you’re listening now is a great step forward....

Smart grocery shoppers pay attention to expiration dates. You may see a dozen cartons of milk on the shelf . . . but a careful look shows that the expiration dates on some cartons are much further into the future. But sometimes we don’t think carefully about the other things of life that may affect us. Those things that bring quick enjoyment, often bring long-lasting disappointment. Coming u...
