Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

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 i...

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...

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...

If happiness and fulfillment were found in money, in fame, in accomplishment, then celebrities would be the happiest people on the face of the earth. They often have it all . . . but too many of them end it all when they discover that’s not what life is really about. So . . . then what? Where can we find life that’s worth living? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie speaks with a celebrity...

Physicians will tell you that one of their biggest frustrations is examining a patient, diagnosing an illness, prescribing the medication, and then finding out the patient didn’t take the medication! Sometimes didn’t even get the prescription filled! What’s a doctor to do!? Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the same is often true in the spiritual arena. Those who need Je...

“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...

The most significant book on some bookshelves is the one with the most dust on it. It has the answers to the biggest questions of life, but it’s opened about as often as a 40 year old Farmer’s Almanac. 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 mi...

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? When someone talks about people who need the Lord, whose name immediately comes to your mind? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us take a big step forward in understanding the issues a...

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 Lor...

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...

What kind of doctor would run some tests and leave out all the bad news? The bad news may be hard to hear but, before you can cure the disease you have to know about the disease. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that believers have the cure for an eternal disease . . . a problem that could affect us for eternity. And we’ll recognize the importance of delivering the bad news...

Ever gone to a concert or sporting event and had tickets waiting at “will call.” You go to the window and say, “Yes, I’m so-and-so and I believe you have tickets waiting for me.” And then you cross your fingers that nothing went wrong—that your name is on the list and you’ll get in. Some people are hoping their name is on the will call list for Heaven. After all, they did good things. Today on A N...

There are so many things people will unabashedly advocate. Their favorite sports team, a certain TV show, a particular recipe or certain diet, a particular model of car or truck, their favorite soft drink, Mac or PC. Those subjects come up, they’re not shy. But believers talking about the Gospel? Sometimes not a peep. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues our studies in Romans abo...

When someone famous dies, that news is in circulation on social media within minutes. By the time the “Breaking News” appears on TV, millions already know about it. But when we consider more important news—what’s been called “The Good News”—it’s not the news of death but the news of life—the culture remains largely unaware . . . or at least unconcerned. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie...

"The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him." The words are often attributed to D.L. Moody, but Moody actually heard those words and they helped confirm his life’s calling. What can God do with us if we each are fully and wholly consecrated to Him? We’ll discuss that today on A NEW BEGINNING as Pastor Greg Laurie helps...

Ever try to run up a downward escalator? Sounds silly, but kids try it all the time, just to see if they can. When we try to fight against the lures of temptation on our own strength, we’re running up a downward escalator. The momentum against us is just too much. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us change escalators and embrace the power and provision of God through prayer. When...

Because of the deluge of robocalls we all get, if an unfamiliar number pops up on the phone, many people just don’t answer. Who wants those calls? Do we feel like we’re an unfamiliar number popping up God’s phone when we call on Him in prayer? Do we wonder if He’ll pick up the phone? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God not only answers the phone, He answers our request...

Ever taken a close look at tree rings . . . the age rings we see when a tree has been cut down? When the rings are unusually close together, it indicates that drought, disease or harsh temperatures were threatening that year. Well in our marriages, when the forces of our culture are threatening, it’s a good time for spouses to draw closer together, not further apart. And today on A NEW BEGINNING,...

About 30 million people move each year. It’s a lot of work, packing boxes, unpacking boxes . . . but do you know anyone who’s AFRAID of moving? Well, for the believer, death is—essentially—moving. It’s moving to a nicer neighborhood! But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie has good reassurance for those who are still afraid of what death may hold.
