God's Solution to Man's Problem | Controlling Your Thoughts

May 17, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MB

Mankind has had some great ideas: air travel, space flight, the wheel, the smartphone. But everyday, each of us has some very bad ideas. God calls them sin. But, good or bad, it starts with an idea. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us keep our ideas in check. We’re launching a new series from “the book of beginnings,” the book of Genesis. We’ll see dangerous ideas can be traced all the way back to the Garden of Eden. Harvest Crusade 2024 --- Listen on harvest.org --...

Trouble in Paradise | Victory Through Christ

May 16, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MB

How does the Devil cause so much mayhem among believers? He has help! He and his minions set their sights on believers trying to make them fall . . . and they’re quite good at what they do. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out victory is assured for God’s children when we stand in the victory of Jesus. We’re in the Garden of Eden today watching Adam and Eve struggle against the temptation of our adversary, and we’ll see how that struggle affects us even today. Harvest...

Trouble in Paradise | How to Fight Temptation

May 15, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MB

In the Lord’s Prayer, we read “Lead us not into temptation.” Yeah, we certainly don’t want to go down that path. But haven’t you found that sometimes temptation comes up the path and finds us! Temptation is pervasive. It’s ubiquitous. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us dissect temptation. We’ll trace its roots all the way back to the Garden of Eden. And Pastor Greg offers some biblical insights on how to stop Satan’s attacks right in their tracks. Harvest Crusade 2024 --...

Trouble in Paradise | The Creation of Marriage

May 14, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

Many products have labels noting where they were made. Maybe Made in China, Japan, Mexico, or Made in the U.S.A. Metaphorically, if we were to look at our label—the label of man himself—it would say “Made in the Garden of Eden . . . by God.” You and I were handcrafted by our Heavenly Father. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, not only were man and woman handmade by God, the institution of marriage was, as well. Today we’ll get the full story. Harvest Crusade 2024 ...

May 13, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MB

If you don’t know where you’re going, how do you know when you get there? It seems some people are in permanent wander mode. They’re drifting. But those who live for the Lord continually encounter the wonder of God. Wonder . . . or wander? The choice is up to us. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps connect us with the plan and purpose of God. We’re in the opening message of a study series in the book of Genesis.

May 12, 2024 07:00 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MB

Psalm 27 offers us comforting words, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid?” In today’s message, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us study this Psalm, revealing the power it holds. Find the biblical wisdom you need. Notes: People’s number one fear is glossophobia.   We need to face our fears.   Deal with your giants, because either you conquer them, or they will conquer you.   “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life;...

God's Purpose for Us | Understanding God's Plan for Mankind

May 10, 2024 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

God’s plan for creation and His plan for mankind, included His plan for man’s redemption. Even before the heavens and the earth were created, He knew man’s freewill would lead him astray. . . and He had a solution before we even tasted of the forbidden fruit. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie digs into God’s plan as revealed in Genesis. To understand something best, we need to take it from the top—chapter 1, verse 1 of book #1 in God’s Word. Harvest Crusade 2024 --- Listen on h...

The Refreshing Power of the Word of God | Guidance From God's Word

May 09, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

According to one survey, only 5% of people read owners’ manuals. Maybe that’s why one lady called Kitchen Aid to ask which was the best spin cycle in her clothes washer for drying her lettuce. And then wanted to know why her clothes were turning green. Well, we have an owner’s manual for life: the Bible. But so many leave it on the shelf. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us recognize the Bible for what it is: a book that gives the prescription for life. Harvest Crusade 202...

The Refreshing Power of the Word of God | Hungry for God's Word

May 08, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MB

Ever been so hungry you felt weak? Not just hunger pangs, not just in a “hangry” mood. You actually felt sluggish and powerless. Food is at the top of your mind. Well, we can start to feel weak spiritually . . . but so many times our spiritual food ISN’T at the top of our minds. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out just what God’s Word does for the weary traveler on the road of life. We’ll see it gives us actual power for living.

May 07, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

When people hear what Jesus has done for us, they’ll see what Jesus can do for them. That’s the essence of sharing the gospel. But what HAS Jesus done for us? If we’ve lost sight of how our life has changed, it may be time to for some soul searching before we go out soul winning. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us reignite the passion in our hearts, and ignite our afterburners in our efforts to share Christ with those who need to meet Him. Today’s study is from the series ...

May 06, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

May 05, 2024 07:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

May 03, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

When you think back on your spiritual journey and how it was that you came to Christ, most likely there was at least one human being involved in the process. Aren’t you thankful for that person? Well, we each have the opportunity to be “that person” for someone else. It’s God’s plan for disseminating the Good News. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as part of his series called Refresh, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how refreshing it is when we follow through with our evangelism privilege and res...

The Refreshing Power of Sharing Your Faith, Part 1 | Jonah’s Success in Nineveh

May 02, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MB

Some seem to believe the realm of evangelism is for “men of the cloth” . . . for pastors, ministers, evangelists. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says it’s a privilege and responsibility shared by all believers. In recent days, he’s been pointing out the tremendous lessons we can learn from Jonah’s success in Nineveh. It was the most successful evangelistic gathering in history.

The Refreshing Power of Sharing Your Faith, Part 1 | The Happiest Christians

April 30, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MB

Whatever we’ve accumulated in life, we can’t take it with us when life is over. It’s like a game of Monopoly . . . the cash, the houses, the hotels . . . when the game is over, it all goes back in the box. But there is one exception: people. We can take people to Heaven with us. The Lord invites us, urges us, to share the gospel, and invite them to Christ. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie offers good encouragement as a part of his encouraging series called Refresh. Harvest Crusa...

The Refreshing Power of Revival | Evangelizing to the Unreachable

April 29, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MB

God has given us mere humans the opportunity to participate in giving life. A mom and dad bring life into this world with their newborn baby. And as believers, we have the privilege of bringing the message of new life to people as we share Christ. But some folks are not easily persuaded. They’re stuck in their sin and don’t want to move. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we can reach the unreachable. It’s part of his series called Refresh. Harvest Crusade 2024 ---...

The Refreshing Power of Revival | What Is Revival?

April 26, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? God reaches people through people. God may want to reach someone you know . . . through you! And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us be ready for that assignment. There’s nothing like helping someone meet Jesus and find eternal life! You’ll never forget it. The reward is worth the risk. Harvest Crusade 20...

The Refreshment of the Spirit in Times of Trial | What Helps Us Edify

April 25, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

Wood that’s been split and sawn, and sanded and shaped can make some fine furniture. But if our compassion should get the best of us and we didn’t want to see that wood face that stress, most of us would just have some chunks of tree sitting in our living rooms. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the sanding and shaping in our lives helps us mature into the kind of people God wants us to be. Good encouragement coming today.

April 24, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

It’s been said that, when we get to the end of our rope, we get to the beginning of God. A lot of truth in that statement.

We’re glad you’ve joined us for his new series called “Refresh: What Every Christian Needs to Know.” Valuable information for believers who face the challenges of life. Harvest Cru...

April 23, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB

Sometimes, a child needs a little help from his mom or dad. Whether it’s trying to tie his shoe, or trying to climb a tree, sometimes he just can quite make it on his own.

Pastor Greg Laurie begins our new "Psalms of David" series with a message focused on the choices we have in life, including the choice to follow God. Notes: Matt. 7:24-29/ Ps.1 Choices matter, because we make our choices, and our choices make us! We are not the only ones who make choices; God makes choices, too! There are over 59 references to David in the New Testament, yet he was far from perfect. He wasn’t only a shepherd, warrior, and king, but also, an adulterer, murderer, and aby...

The Refreshing Power of Prayer | Heaven's Perspective

April 18, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

When we think about sitting down, we might think that’s pretty relaxing. But if you’re sitting in traffic, not so much. If you’re sitting in the doctor’s office, you might be fearing bad news. Many are fearful sitting on an airplane. But is God feeling fear or tension as He sits on His throne? No. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us tap in to God’s state of mind through the power of prayer. He invites us to taste of the refreshing reassurance of a heavenly point of view.

What the Resurrection of Jesus Means to You | The Power of the Resurrection

April 16, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

The Resurrection is a pivot point for the entire Christian faith. Paul told the Corinthian church, “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” Thankfully, he then said, “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead.” And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the Resurrection provides the power we need to break through the barriers and live the Christ...

What the Resurrection of Jesus Means to You | The Cost of Calvary

April 15, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MB

Most of us are wired to look for a good deal. We like to exchange something of lesser value for something of greater value. Well, on a spiritual level, Jesus offers us an arrangement that’s too good to refuse. We owed a debt we couldn’t pay, but Jesus stepped in and paid a debt He didn’t owe. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us appreciate the price paid at Calvary. But even more remarkably: after Jesus died for our sins, He rose again.

April 12, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB

For the past month, we’ve studying the rich writings of the Gospel of Mark. Mark weaves together a vivid narrative of the life of Jesus . . . and certainly the most vivid is his description of the end of Jesus’ life and ministry. These events were choreographed by the Father from the beginning of time, but the events were surprising to a First Century citizen seeing it in real time. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie presents his message, What the Death of Jesus Means to You. List...

What the Death of Jesus Means to You | When Our Sins Were Paid

April 11, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

There are very few events of the past that we could rightfully say changed the course of human history. The invention of sliced bread? People often say it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. No. Some might say air travel . . . or telecommunications . . . or penicillin. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the very moment when our sins were paid in full. It’s the singular event that had ETERNAL consequences. And we’ll consider what that event means for us. Listen on ...

A Second Chance in Life | Forgiveness and Restoration

April 10, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

Golfers know the meaning of the world “mulligan.” Bad golfers know it very well.

We’ll see what it was that led to the sin, and how that sin was forgiven and fellowship restore...

A Second Chance in Life | God Rewriting Your Story

April 09, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

Ever looked at the social media posts of a friend and think, “Wow, they live a pretty good life.” Someone has pointed out we should never compare someone else’s highlight reel, to our blooper reel. We live out our blooper reel everyday, don’t we? We see the flubs, the fumbles, the gaffes, and the goofs up close. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God sees beyond the blooper, to the future. Today, a good example of how God can rewrite our story. Listen on harves...

The Best Choice | Doing More for Jesus

April 08, 2024 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MB

Ever been that one person at your table in a restaurant that takes a pass on dessert? Everybody’s ordering salted caramel this and double chocolate that, and they look at you like you have a second nose growing out of the side of your head! “What’s wrong with you!?” But sometimes we have to pass up the attractive things for the best things. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us chart a course for a richer, more fulfilling walk with the Lord, in spite of other things that ...

The Best Choice | Jesus Commends Mary

April 05, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

If the gift someone gives you is modest, your expression of thanks can likewise be modest. When the gift is extraordinary, a modern etiquette expert says, “Keep the level of the thank you near the level of kindness you received.” Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to a memorable moment in Jesus’ ministry when gratitude was extended Him at such a generous level, it drew attention and even criticism from the disciples. But Pastor Greg explains that Jesus commended Mary....

Only Jesus! | The Path to Heaven

April 04, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

There’s nothing like driving a wide vehicle on a narrow road to make you sweat. Things get tight ... tight ... tighter still ... and you suck in your breath...! C’mon, like that’s going to make your vehicle thinner. Ever done that? But narrow roads have to be taken seriously. And the Bible describes the narrow road that leads to heaven. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that there are few who find it . . . it’s only found through a relationship with Christ. Listen on h...

Only Jesus! | The Transfiguration

April 03, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

We’ve all seen things we’ll never forget. Maybe we saw Old Faithful in Yellowstone. Or we stood on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Or maybe it was watching our child take their first steps. But nothing on earth could have prepared these certain onlookers for the spectacle they were about to see. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the Transfiguration of Jesus, we’ll see it left them speechless. Well, should have left them speechless – but one of them spoke anyway.

Lost in Translation | The Source of Happiness

April 02, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

So much of life is determined by our focus. Do we focus on career more than family, or family more than career? Do we focus more on pursuing goals, or enjoying the journey? Some focus on happiness . . . it’s their most important pursuit in life. And yet happiness isn’t found through direct pursuit. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that happiness comes when we put God before ourselves . . . when His will becomes our will. That’s our cross to bear. Listen on harvest.org...

Lost in Translation | An Important Question

April 01, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

March 28, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

Two of the most important holidays on the calendar are Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Without the Lord’s death (commemorated on Good Friday), there’s no forgiveness of sin.

March 27, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB
