Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

God parted the waters of the Red Sea, He caused time to stand still, He caused time to go backwards! He protected Daniel in the Lion’s Den, and the three Hebrew teens in the fiery furnace. Jesus fed multitudes with table scraps, healed the sick, raised the dead, and conquered the grave. And don’t forget all of creation! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how powerful God is, a...

If you’re on a long road trip, you’ve got to map out your course. If you don’t know where you’re going, how do you know when you get there!? As we travel the road of life, serving the Lord, heavenbound, we need to make sure we’re on course. If we ignore the direction of Scripture, we may discover we’re on that broad road that leads to destruction. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps...

From Joshua chapter 5–6, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us to be steadfast in our faithfulness. Just as the Israelites trusted the Lord to deliver the promised land, we can trust Him with the challenges in our life. Notes: The Bible tells us that the final conflict of man would be centered on Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be the focal point of End Times events. Jerusalem plays a key role in the Last Days....

People who attend class reunions are often surprised. Sometimes, the more popular people way back when have lost that prominence . . . and the prominent people today were the wallflowers years ago. And that’s not really random or accidental. It has to do with the choices they made. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the choices we make in how we serve God will affect the her...

Throughout the Bible, we see stories of God using individuals to accomplish great things: Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon. Sometimes there’s strength in numbers, but other times there’s supernatural strength in a humble man or woman saying yes to God. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us open ourselves to being used by God by looking to the example of Moses. It’s an inspiring presen...

Ever had a stain appear on an article of clothing? Maybe you try to wipe it clean. Maybe you try vinegar and baking soda . . . or one of the “revolutionary” new products from the store. Or, you take it to the cleaners . . . but you get it back and it’s still there! Sometimes our lives have stains like that . . . and the embarrassment never goes away. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie ta...

The Bible tells us that believers are ambassadors, or representatives of Christ. Each of us is a walking, talking billboard for the Lord. What does your billboard say? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series Water - Fire - Stone . . . an inspiring look at the life of Moses. And today, we’ll see how Moses actually demonstrated how NOT to behave as one of God’s children. We...

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...

Pastor Greg Laurie gives us wisdom from Joshua 3–4, where we see the Israelites cross the Jordan River. Notes: The Christian life is not a playground but a battleground, and there’s not really a choice of fighting or not fighting; it’s a choice of victory or defeat. Deuteronomy 6:23 “He brought us out, that He might bring us in.” The people of Canaan were wicked. When people repent, God relents! R...

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 Laurie bri...

There are some passages in the Bible that sound poetic and inspiring. The kind of thought you might see on social media or even crocheted on a throw pillow. But if you look below the surface, you can often find a treasure trove of rich insight to sink your spiritual teeth into. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie looks at a familiar verse, an inspiring verse, but one that reveals six trut...

Has anyone ever tried to help you who – candidly – wasn’t much help at all? Maybe a child showed up to your plumbing emergency with a smile and her “Little Tikes” plastic, toy crescent wrench. It may have warmed your heart, but you were still ankle deep in water. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God can bless us when we need Him most, and with just what we need the most...

The Lord never advises us to approach His throne gingerly, with reluctance and uncertainty. Even though He’s “God most high,” Hebrews invites us to “come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to the example of Moses, who showed us how to approach the Lord with uncommon courage and con...

Mature believers talk to others about God. And they also talk to God about others. Do you regularly pray for others . . . pray for their needs, pray they might come to the Lord or come closer to the Lord? Our mission statement here at A NEW BEGINNING is Knowing Him and Making Him Known. And intercessory prayer is a vital instrument in that pursuit. So today, Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series...

Pastor Jonathan Laurie shows us what we can learn about God through Rahab's story. Notes: 1 Samuel 16:7 “…the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Joshua 2 / Joshua 6 Read: Joshua 2:1–15 This Is Only a Test. Joshua 2:1 Matthew 19:26 “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” An Unlikely Ally. Joshua 2:3–...

At various times, we all come down with a case of the “gimmes.” Gimme this, gimme that. And nearly every advertisement feeds that craving. Whatever they say, what they really mean is, “You want one of these, don’t you?” A new car, a new phone, a new outfit. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the biblical reference to coveting goes even beyond the gimmes. “I don’t just want...

Children often look like their parents. It could be facial features, the way they move their hands as they speak, or their laugh. And a child will often mimic his parents’ mannerisms. Something about an apple not falling far from a tree. But ever since Eve was handed the fruit of one particular tree, Satan has been lying to us . . . and many now mimic his behavior. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor...

What things are most important in our lives? Our computers probably know . . . our smartphones have a good idea. Or certainly our checkbook or our charge card. What captures our attention, what steals our thoughts? What is it that’s always near the top of our minds? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that idols are anything or anyone that takes our focus off of God. And we’ll...

If we thought about it, many of us could name our 10 favorite movies . . . our 10 favorite actors . . . our 10 favorite songs . . . our 10 favorite meals. But what about God’s top 10 instructions, carved on stone tablets and hand-delivered to Moses on Mt. Sinai? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us dig in to those instructions as we return to his series called Water - Fire - Stone...

If there’s some liquid left in the bottom of a drinking glass – milk, juice, soft drink – what’s the first thing we do to get it clean. Rinse it out, right? Run some water in it and flush it clean. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that same approach works well with all the stuff that needs to be cleaned out of our minds. We’ll see how to wash it clean with a renewed mind and...

Pastor Greg Laurie gives great encouragement and guidance for navigating the seemingly impossible.  Notes: The flood had come, and the Earth was covered in water. Genesis 8:1 Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery and thought him dead. Genesis 50:20 Death does not have the final word. Psalm 49:15 God is bigger than any obstacle! God will always have the last word! Hebrews 11:25–26 “Choosing rathe...

The Bible tells us God is love. Yes, He’s loving, but First John 4:8 says God IS love. And it says, “He who does not love does not know God . . .” So it should come as no surprise that hatred is not a part of God’s plan for believers. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses the hatred we see around us in our culture. What are we as believers to do? Good insight is coming. And a...
