The Heart of the Problem | What Is Coveting?
September 29, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBAt 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 one...I want YOURS.” Today, we’ll see it’s addressed in the 10 Commandments. Listen on harvest...
The Heart of the Problem | Changing Our Behaviors
September 28, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBChildren 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 Greg Laurie helps us chart a course for our behavior from the Lord’s 10 Commandments. Listen o...

September 27, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBWhat things are most important in our lives? Our computers probably know . . . our smartphones have a good idea.

And we’ll see the Lord recognizes the danger and mentions it in His 10 Commandments. Listen on harvest.or...

September 25, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBIf 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.

Violence & Sex | How to Respond to Hatred
September 22, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBThe 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 word to parents – the content of today’s study may be a little too strong for younger ears. Lis...
The Family Matters | Sharing Your Faith With Your Kids
September 21, 2023 07:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBTeaching our children to walk and talk is not usually intimidating. Teaching them to tie a shoe or pedal a bike is in our comfort zone.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us solid insight based on the 10 Commandments found in Exodus chapter 20. Glad you’re along. Listen on harvest.o...
The Family Matters | God's Design for the Home
September 20, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBThe cultural definition of a family is quite broad and all-encompassing. It’s proudly inclusive. But when we get creative with what a family is, we get creative with how a family works. And if we get too creative, maybe it’s time to consult the Creator. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie gets us back to bedrock truth as laid out in God’s timeless Word. We’ll go back to the 10 Commandments and discuss how to honor God’s design for how homes can function best. Listen on harvest.org ...

September 19, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBIf we follow God’s blueprint for life, our lives will go better. You can depend on that.

What's the Big Deal with God's Name? | Honoring God's Name
September 18, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBGod Almighty is worthy of all glory and honor. We’re mere men and women under the umbrella of His divine authority. So how inappropriate is it to express some kind of disrespect or dishonor to God on high? It’s almost a question that doesn’t need to be asked.

"10", Part 2: No Other Gods | Is God Your Number One?
September 14, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBWe each have to make a decision in our relationship with God. Are we sold out . . . or are we a sell out? Are we sold out for the Lord, where He is number one and we don’t compromise? Or do we allow ourselves to sell out to the world and its lures? We face that question afresh each and every day. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s an issue that’s addressed up front in the 10 Commandments, and it’s a decision that affects our quality of life.

"10", Part 1: No Other Gods | The Standard for Right and Wrong
September 12, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBWhat time is it? No, really. What’s the exact time? How do we know what the exact time is? Maybe your clock is a few seconds different from mine. The defacto standard is International Atomic Time, a weighted average of time kept by over 400 atomic clocks in 50 laboratories worldwide. That’s the source that’s trustworthy. When it comes to right and wrong, Pastor Greg Laurie says the trustworthy standard is God’s Word. And we’ll consult that standard today on A NEW BEGINNING. Listen on harves...
The Desert Song | Remembering What's Important
September 11, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MBOne 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.

The Desert Song | Finding Joy in the Eternal
September 08, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBSmart 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.

Between Impossible & More Impossible | Get Moving
September 07, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBGPS systems have come a long way over the years.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the story of the first Passover, we’ll see God provided a solution for sin that forever paid the price that had to be paid.

We can’t negotiate with sin, we can’t “come to an understanding” with evil, we can’t compromise with the Devil. Today, some insight from our study of the life of Moses. Li...
The Danger of the Compromised Life | Cling to the Lord
August 30, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBWedding vows are pledges of loyalty and faithfulness to a spouse. You never hear a groom promising to “love, honor and cherish, but I’m still going to date some other girls on the side.” A good relationship is defined by how much we do for the other...not by how much we can get away with just ‘cause we want to. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that same dynamic applies in our spiritual lives...as we cling to the Lord, and resist our spiritual adversary. Listen on ...

The Danger of a Hardened Heart | Listening With a Hardened Heart
August 28, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MBSome months ago, social media was ablaze with an interesting sound experiment. A certain recording sounded like the word “Laurel” to some people, and like “Yanny” to others. It was very interesting, and a bit odd. But we see the same thing on a spiritual level – two people can respond to a single Gospel message in two different ways. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the danger of listening with a hardened heart. And Pastor Greg begins with an admission. Listen on harv...
