Reflecting on the Past, Preparing for the Future | 50 Years in Review

January 31, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

Leaders of large organizations are often asked how they got to where they are . . . as if they stepped right up to the top position. The answer is often: start small. Start leading and see if anyone follows. And when a few do, keep at it. Work hard, have faith and seek God’s will. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie recalls the development of Harvest Ministries as he and his congregation celebrate 50 years of teaching God’s Word to God’s people.

How to Live a Meaningful Life | Having A Spirit of Generosity

January 30, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MB

Wouldn’t it be a remarkable world if everyone tried to out-give one another? If we saw someone in need, we automatically took care of it. We were always looking for ways to help. But we don’t live in a culture of givers, it seems like we live in a culture of takers.Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how a spirit of generosity is part of the prescription for living a more meaningful life. We’re considering the Apostle Paul’s counsel about living in a way that honors God...

How to Live a Meaningful Life | Stop Muddling Through Life

January 29, 2024 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

In any gym, there are people there who are just getting it done . . . a certain number of reps, a certain duration of time, and – whew! – they’re done, and they’re gone. And there are others who push themselves, and they give it their all! And it shows. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, this life is too important to muddle through. The Lord wants us to run this race with endurance, and to run this race to win. We’ll learn more about how to do that in Acts. Listen on h...

God's Solution to Man's Problem | Sunday Message

January 28, 2024 08:00 - 48 minutes - 44 MB

Pastor Greg Laurie describes the theme of this message as “what happens when we don't follow the warning?” He takes us into Adam and Eve's story, where we get important takeaways on mankind's shortcomings. Notes: Genesis 4 The theme of this message is, “What happens when we don't follow the warning?” Genesis 3:6 Every temptation in life fits into three categories. 1 John 2:15–16 The Lust of the Flesh: Things that feel good.

How to Look Up When Things Look Down | Christ's Offer of Salvation

January 26, 2024 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MB

Some people come to Christ instantly, as soon as they hear the Gospel. It’s the miracle of a moment. Others resist that decision for decades, until one day they realize their need for Christ. Sometimes it’s a crisis or tragedy that brings them to that point, other times it’s as though their eyes suddenly opened. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us the miraculous conversion of a certain Philippian jailer . . . a conversion that would sweep through his entire family. Listen ...

How to Look Up When Things Look Down | The Hidden Issues of Our Lives

January 25, 2024 08:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MB

We like to put our best foot forward. It’s a cultural thing. We keep certain things to ourselves. If we’ve just bounced a check, or we’re in over our head at work, or there’s relationship stress – we stay silent on those subjects. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, when Jesus makes His home in our hearts, we give Him permission to explore the hidden issues we’re keeping to ourselves . . . yeah, including the one you’re thinking about right now. Let’s get some good e...

How to Resolve Conflict | The Bible's Guidance on Conflict Resolution

January 24, 2024 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

In so many arguments, as one person is making her point, the other person is formulating his response. He’s not really hearing her point, he’s preparing his counterpoint. It’s tactical gamesmanship, and they’re keeping mental score. Hopefully that DOESN’T sound familiar. But if it does, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn to resolve conflict by following an example we see in Scripture. Today, practical help for everyone. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and sub...

How to Resolve Conflict | The Role of Grace and Humility

January 23, 2024 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

Disagreement and conflict is almost inevitable in human relationships. When that happens, some people put up their fists . . . others call up their lawyer. Others look up the Proverb that says a soft answer turns away wrath. In the big picture, those moments can either undergird our efforts to share Christ, or undermine them. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us deal with everyone in a spirit of grace and humility. We’re in Acts chapter 15. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn...

January 22, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MB

Trouble In Paradise | Sunday Message

January 21, 2024 08:00 - 46 minutes - 42.5 MB

In Genesis 2, we get a close look at the events that occurred in the Garden of Eden. We get to focus on the relationship between God and man. Pastor Greg Laurie shares valuable points from this book today.  Notes: Genesis 2/Genesis 3 Elohim is the appropriate word to portray God as the Majestic Creator. Yahweh is the personal name God uses when dealing with humanity. Read: Genesis 2:7–9 God created man and breathed life into him. The word, “breathed,” is warmly personal. Genesis 2:7 ...

The Almost Christian | Sincerity of Faith

January 19, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.6 MB

Ever drive away from home and had that nagging feeling you might have left the stove on? Or you forgot to lock a door? Or you left a curling iron plugged in? If you don’t go back and check, you start thinking of how things could go horribly wrong. We want to be sure about certain things, don’t we? Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us check ourselves when it comes to the sincerity of our faith in Christ. When it comes to matters of eternity, “close enough” . . . isn’t cl...

Dealing with Depression | Standing with God in a Sinful Culture

January 17, 2024 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

Trying to live a godly life in an ungodly world can seem like we’re trying to walk up a downward escalator. The culture is trying to drag believers right into a quagmire of hopeless humanism and angry atheism. But God has a plan. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us revisit one of the most exciting stories of the Old Testament when a single prophet of God confronts 850 feckless false prophets and watches God’s plan unfold Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe...

Christ's Call to Courage | Encouragement for the Weary

January 16, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

Sometimes, it can seem as though we’re swimming against the current in our life of faith. If it isn’t opposition and even persecution for what we believe, it’s challenges in health, or finances, or relationships. How do we get through? How have others made it? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to the Apostle Paul as our inspiration. We’re in the book of Acts considering the trial upon trial Paul faced, but the word of encouragement that pulled him through. Listen on harves...

Christ's Call to Courage | Finding the Courage We Need

January 15, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

Many people feel they just can’t function in the morning without their cup of coffee. But, long ago, coffee met with grumpy, nearly global opposition for hundreds of years! (They were grumpy ‘cause they hadn’t had their coffee). People oppose lots of things, but then come to embrace them warmly. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we need to realize that people need the message we share, and we need to find the courage to share it even in the face of opposition. ...

God's Purpose for Us | Sunday Message

January 14, 2024 08:00 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MB

God has a plan and purpose for you. Acts 13:36 We need to know and fulfill our purpose. Romans 8:28 Genesis means, “beginning.” The book of Genesis begins with God. Genesis 1:1 Sinc...

Let's Talk About Heaven, Part 2 | Questions About Heaven

January 12, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

They say, in any major city these days, there are cameras watching you . . . as you walk, as you drive. Security cameras in front of a market, or built into a nearby ATM. Maybe a webcam on the top of a building or someone’s video door bell. What about our friends and loved ones in Heaven? Are they watching what’s going on here on earth? Pastor Greg Laurie address that question and several others today on A NEW BEGINNING as he presents a glimpse of life inside our eternal home. Listen on har...

Let's Talk About Heaven, Part 2 | Eternal Worship

January 11, 2024 08:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MB

Sometimes, we just can’t hold back the joy. When our favorite sports team wins the big game. When our young child takes his first steps. When you hear the words, “You may kiss your bride.” Well, when we get to Heaven, we just may not be able to hold ourselves back from worship. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see what we’ll be doing in Heaven . . . and what things will be different from this life, and what things will largely be the same.

Let's Talk About Heaven, Part 1 | The Importance of the Eternal

January 09, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

Imagine sitting down for a fine meal. It may be the finest meal you’ve ever experienced. The service is first class. The chef is world renowned. His culinary creations will leave you speechless. But you can’t get your eyes off the shiny silverware. You ignore the food and gaze upon the utensil. Behold the spoon! Ridiculous.

January 08, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

Pastor Greg Laurie revealed last time that 81% of Americans—churched and unchurched—believe in Heaven. More than three quarters. Even more hope to go there! But what’s it like there?

January 07, 2024 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

Let's Talk About Heaven, Part 1 | Preparing for Heaven

January 05, 2024 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

Each year, about 27 million people in this country move . . . relocate. That may explain why there are 17,000 moving companies across the fruited plain.

How to Fight the Spiritual Battle | Putting on Armor

January 04, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MB

Some professions have specialty clothing . . . and it saves lives. Firefighters have “turnout pants and jackets” to protect against heat. Police officers wear kevlar vests. Soldiers have vests and helmets and boots. As we’ll learn today, Christian soldiers have specialty clothing, as well. But too many of us don’t know much about it.

How to Fight the Spiritual Battle | The Battle Around Us

January 03, 2024 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

The old evangelist Billy Sunday said, “Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole.

It’s a look at the spiritual battle being waged all around us, whether we realize it or not . . . and how we’re all combatants in the fight....

Which Side Are You On? | The Danger of Idols

January 02, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

We throw the word idol around pretty freely in our culture. “So-and-so is a teen idol” . . . “did you watch American Idol?” . . . “Humphrey Bogart was a matinee idol.” But biblically speaking, an idol is a representation or symbol of an object of worship. It’s a clear transgression of the First Commandment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie warns about idol worship based on an epic confrontation in First Kings 18. Elijah goes toe to toe with the prophets of Baal. Listen on harves...

Which Side Are You On? | Waiting on God

January 01, 2024 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MB

None of us likes to wait. Like when we’re on hold hearing that annoying music repeat over and over again. Or when we’re in line at the grocery store or the airport. Or in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, and our name is finally called and we go to the exam room to . . . wait some more. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that when we wait on GOD, it can renew us. We’ll see some great miracles took place through the prophet Elijah AFTER a time of waiting on the Lor...

December 22, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

Help us share the gospel in 2024! Some of the genealogy TV shows are fascinating. They trace the ancestry of a famous actor or music artist.
