The Bible tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. It says to put on the mind of Christ.

When we follow the lives of some of the key individuals in Scripture, we learn so much. We see faith in action . . . or sometimes we see a lack of faith in action.

March 08, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MB

How is a value determined? Whose opinion matters? Let’s say someone says their car is worth $15,000. Is it worth that much? It’s only really worth that much if some PAYS $15,000. What’s our worth? There might be different opinions. But Jesus gave His life for us—that’s the price He paid. That’s what we’re worth. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see ourselves through God’s eyes . . . we’ll see our worth. Listen on harvest.org --- JESUS REVOLUTION is now in theaters! Ge...

March 07, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MB

You would imagine the U.S. holds the distinction of being the most litigious country on earth, right? Actually, that dubious honor goes to Germany, but the U.S. isn’t far behind.

More people complain about headaches than any other health condition. About 45 million people suffer from them each year. The major causes? Stress and lack of sleep, among others.

How to Overcome Your Giants | What You Need to Know About God

March 01, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

God has never encountered a problem or a crisis too big for Him to handle. He’s never said “uh-oh.” So when we encounter something we can’t handle, we need to look to our God who can handle anything. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie returns to our studies of the life of David, we’ll see what happened when David faced a giant-sized problem. It’s a familiar story, but sometimes we miss the practical application. That’s Pastor Greg’s focus as we begin today’s study. Listen o...

The Man After God's Heart | Who God Uses

February 28, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MB

Some tend to think that God only uses perfect people . . . people with no blindspots, no failings, no shortcomings. But the more we study the Bible, the more we see how God used imperfect people to do remarkable things for His Kingdom. How can we be the kind of person God is looking for? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that today here on A NEW BEGINNING as we examine the life of a great leader of Israel who God chose personally, over and above other candidates who appeared more impressive.

The Man After God's Heart | What God's Impressed By

February 27, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

We see the social media posts of certain friends and marvel at how great their life is. Lunch on the beach in Cabo. Sipping a hot chocolate in a ski chalet in Aspen. You know, social media has become a collection of highlight reels—because people want to look good.

In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie points you to Jesus’ first miracle, what this shows about faith, and the Christian’s future is bright. Notes  Have you ever asked God for a sign?

The Great “I Am” Statements of Christ: I Am the Bread of Life – John 6. I Am the Light of the World – John 8. I Am the Door of the Sheep – John 10. I Am the Good Shep...

February 24, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

The last great spiritual awakening in America came in the late 60s and early 70s. It was a time of turbulence and upheaval, a time of uncertainty and angst. People were looking for answers, and hope.

The Jesus Revolution & Evangelism | How to Experience Personal Revival

February 22, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MB

Our mission statement here at A NEW BEGINNING is “Knowing Him and Making Him Known.” Today, we’ll see how those two ideas are inseparably linked. When we make Him known, we know Him better. When we draw other people to Christ, we’re drawn to Christ. Sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it? And today on the broadcast, as Pastor Greg Laurie brings us the final installment in his popular series examining the Jesus Movement, we’ll see how we can put that great idea into practice.

February 21, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

We can send a text to someone on the other side of the planet at practically the speed of light. Through social media, videos can circumnavigate the globe as the event happens.

The Jesus Revolution & Evangelism | Start Sharing the Gospel

February 20, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MB

You know, when you share a smile with someone, it’s not like they take it from you and you don’t have it anymore. Often you both end up smiling. When you share a word of encouragement, both of you are the better for it. When you share the Good News of God’s love, it can touch both of you profoundly. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shares how the Gospel is at the very center of God’s plan for mankind. It’s the one thing that can change the eternal trajectory of someone else’s lif...

The Rapture & Revival | The Next Event on the Prophetic Calendar

February 17, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

In 2 Peter 3, we read, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” Some people accepted Christ yesterday—good thing the Rapture didn’t happen the day BEFORE yesterday. Coming up on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn all we can about the Rapture . . . that great event when we’re suddenly caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Listen on ...

The Bible & Revival | Facts About God's Word

February 16, 2023 08:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MB

Oh the worthless things that get into our minds when we weren’t paying attention. We can remember the words of TV themes . . . the words in the jingles of various fast food restaurants . . . the words to songs on the radio—songs we don’t even like! If we hear something often enough, it sticks. If we can’t remember Bible verses, maybe we haven’t read them often enough. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us write the truth of Scripture on our hearts, from his message The Bible ...

The Bible & Revival | What Makes a Healthy Christian

February 15, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

God’s Word is a light for our path . . . food for our souls. It’s the only offensive weapon in our suit of spiritual armor. And yet, in many homes, it’s the most dusty book on the bookshelf. It contains the very keys to the issues of life, yet it’s overlooked and forgotten. And so many times we need the help it offers. A well-used Bible that’s falling apart is usually owned by someone who isn’t. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of digesting Scripture. L...

Things to Do Before the End of the World w/ Don Stewart | Part 2

February 14, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MB

If we knew exactly when Jesus was returning, most of us would make sure we’re ready. We’d drop everything and GET ready. Well, it’s important to know just how soon Jesus could return. In this case, what we don’t know can impact us for eternity. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us trustworthy insight straight from God’s Word on what we can expect during the Rapture, and just how close we may be to that event.  Listen on harvest.org --- JESUS REVOLUTION is in theaters eve...

Things to Do Before the End of the World w/ Don Stewart | Part 1

February 13, 2023 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

We know Jesus is coming back. We don’t know when. The Bible even tells us that none of us knows the day or the hour. But it also advises us to be ready. It’ll come suddenly and could happen when we least expect it. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie welcomes Bible scholar Don Stewart for a revealing discussion of what the Bible says about God’s End Times plan. Although we don’t know the day or the hour of the Rapture, there’s so much we do know. And we’ll talk about that today. Li...

A Supernatural Invasion of God | Today’s Devotion from Pastor Greg

February 11, 2023 08:00 - 2 minutes - 2.1 MB

Today, we feature a powerful devotional thought from Pastor Greg's Daily Devotion. Follow Daily Devotions from Greg Laurie here. --- We can’t create a revival. We can’t organize a revival. But we can agonize in prayer for a revival. A revival is a supernatural invasion of God. It is something that God does for us and not something we do for Him. One person defined revival as a community saturated with God. Richard Owen Roberts, who wrote a great book called Revival, described it as “an ex...

Prayer & Revival | Spiritually Strengthen Yourself

February 10, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

We know we put on our socks before our shoes, and our shirt before our jacket. We all know that the order of things is important.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’re learning about the components that lead to revival among God’s people. It’s a part of Pastor Greg’s enlightening series called Jesus Revolution. Listen on harvest....

February 09, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MB

Ever been behind the wheel on a long road trip? The endless miles of highway can be fatiguing. We can actually feel sleepy . . . at 65 miles an hour! Sometimes we go through life at 65 miles an hour . . . but spiritually speaking, we’ve practically fallen asleep. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to wake ourselves up spiritually, and how that’ll have an impact on our culture, as well. He’s explaining the biblical prescription for a societal spiritual awakening. Lis...

The Holy Spirit in Revival | The 1970s Spiritual Awakening

February 07, 2023 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MB

“God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” You can find those reassuring words in 2 Peter 3. And when a culture seems intent on its own destruction, sometimes God’s hand moves in miraculous ways. It’s happened before in the history of our country, and today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says it can happen again. But we play a part in bringing it to pass. Glad you’re along for a fascinating series that launches today. Listen on harvest.org -...

What I Would Tell My Younger Self | Pray More, Worry Less

February 02, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

No one ever teaches us how to worry. Our parents don’t sit us down and say, “Okay, kids, I want you to put your head in your hands, look really discouraged, and stress out on something you can’t change.” No, we pretty much picked it up on our own. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us lay down that which we’ve picked up. He’ll offer up some practical precepts in a message called What I Would Tell My Younger Self. Insight for everyone, particularly young people. Listen o...

The 7 Love Letters of Jesus to His Church | What's Your Spiritual Temperature?

January 31, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

Remember when Goldilocks tasted the three bowls of porridge? One was too hot, the other too cold, and the third was just right. Some apply Goldilocks values to their Christian faith. They don’t want to be too “religious,” or too worldly, they want to be just right. The problem is, as we’ll see today, a lukewarm faith makes the Lord sick. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how to heat up our faith as we consider messages to the seven churches of Revelation. Listen on harve...

Ever have guest speakers at your church? What if, one Sunday morning, the surprise speaker was . . . Jesus Himself. He steps to the pulpit, His words are loving, inspirational, insightful.

Well, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s essentially what the Lord did with seven churches of the First Century. He spoke frankly . . . and we should lis...

Just a Moment | Sunday Message

January 29, 2023 21:05 - 45 minutes - 41.8 MB

In this engaging message, Pastor Greg Laurie encourages you to use the life you have for the glory of God.  Notes Life passes quickly. James emphasizes the brevity of the life and the importance of living in God’s will.  Life is short. Live it well.  We should plan for the future but remember to put God’s will first.  A trend in our nation is laziness. “Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.” —Romans 12:11 James is not saying we need to always say, “If the ...

The Holy Spirit & You, Part 2 | Drawn to Christ By the Spirit

January 26, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

Some believers wish there were a tried and true formula for bringing someone to Christ. Memorize these verses, rehearse these statements. If they ask this, you say that. Well, preparation is good . . . but sometimes people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Holy Spirit is the One who draws people to Christ. We can certainly plant a seed, but we have to allow for the Spirit’s work in their lives. Listen ...

January 25, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MB

In our natural bodies, there are many things inside that keep us alive, although we’ve never seen them. Antibodies, clotting agents, intestinal flora, white blood cells. Now, spiritually speaking, there are invisible forces at work that want to help us and save us, although other forces want to destroy us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the work of God’s Spirit acquaints us with our sin, and acquaints us with our Savior. It’s important we know how to respond. Listen...

The Holy Spirit & You, Part 2 | Convicted By the Spirit

January 24, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

Few of us buy products to solve problems we don’t have. Why would you buy a flea collar if you don’t have a pet? But there are many people who have a problem they’re not yet aware of. They’re afflicted with the “good enough” syndrome. They’re convinced they’re good enough to get to Heaven. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that the Holy Spirit shows us our sin, shows us its penalty, and shows us our need for a solution. It’s life-saving information.

The Holy Spirit & You, Part 1 | Resisting the Spirit

January 23, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

The Lord created us with a will of our own. In doing so, He knew some people would reject Him, but that was His plan from the beginning. And yet the Holy Spirit calls out to us, drawing us to the Lord. It’s the wise person who heeds that call. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s just one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit. He has a multi-dimensional role in the lives of believers. And few of us know just how involved He is in our lives. It’s about time for the whole st...

January 18, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

Collectively, Americans are more than 15 trillion dollars in debt. And what is credit, exactly? It's borrowing tomorrow’s money to pay for today. It’s a stark picture of how our culture wants to live in the moment. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that mindset can get us into a world of trouble on the spiritual level. We’ll take a few moments to consider what we’re living for.

January 17, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

For some people, happiness is as elusive as a feather floating on a strong breeze. It’s in their sights, then escapes before they can lay hold. Is happiness just out of bounds for some people? Or are they looking in the wrong places? Pastor Greg Laurie addresses those concerns today on A NEW BEGINNING from one of this past year’s most requested messages. We’re studying Paul’s counsel in Philippians. It’s some of the Bible’s strongest encouragement, even though the words were written while Pa...

What Do You Live For? | Where to Find Real Satisfaction

January 16, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

So many people post pictures of their food on social media. And, admittedly, a lot of it looks really good. But have you noticed the food that’s to die for is also the food you can die from?
