March 25, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBWe all need a touch from the Lord. And the Lord is ready to reach out.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says, as it happens, God’s clocks run on a different schedule than ours. We’ll see our timing is often impetuous . . . His timing is always perfect.

The Golden Key to Spiritual Growth | Cause and Effect
March 18, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBSo much of life is a study of cause and effect. We wonder why we get so many speeding tickets. Hmm . . . could it be that we drive too fast?
