November 24, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MB

When we talk to friends and co-workers right after Christmas, they’ll often ask, “Well, what did you get for Christmas?” How many times has someone asked you, “Well, what did you give?” That doesn’t usually come up.

Loving God | Turning Back to God

November 22, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MB

Sometimes we need a new beginning, don’t we? When our spiritual lives have meandered and we’re not as close to the Lord as we used to be, it’s okay to make an adjustment. God allows U-turns.

Loving God | Focusing on God

November 21, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

Sometimes it’s easiest to see our human idiosyncrasies in other people. Take a toddler, for instance.

There’s a good chance you’ve seen a two-man saw. With handles on both sides, it’s an excellent example of teamwork. One man pushes, the other man pulls, and then vice versa.

November 17, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

When was the last time you were the “newbie” on the job . . . the new guy or gal just hired? If you were fortunate, you had someone come alongside you to show you the ropes. Because if you don’t know anything, it’s hard to do anything.

What to Do When the Odds Are Against You | Sunday Message

November 12, 2023 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

We have to remember that God's perspective is different than our own. As Pastor Greg Laurie says, where we see weakness, God sees potential. Where we see the past, He sees the future. We see a lump of clay, He sees a beautiful sculpture... More on that in this episode! Notes: “In those days, Israel had no king, so the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.” Judges 17:6 Israel was living in despair, but they finally called out to God to deliver them, and He did.

The sum total of what many people know about angels came from a movie . . . or a TV show . . . or a book . . . or social media. But whether it came from a screenplay or a novel, it was fiction.

We’ll read the words of the Creator of angels with Scripture. It’s from the series called “Timeless.” Listen on harvest.org ...

November 07, 2023 08:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

Most pilots follow an unwritten rule: if they flip a certain switch and the plane suddenly starts going crazy, they switch it back. Pretty basic.

The Secret to Spiritual Success | The Power of the Scriptures

November 03, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

Our minds have a cruise control function, it would seem. We can be driving down a familiar road, paying only a modicum of attention, and wonder when that last mile went by. Our minds weren’t really in the moment. We can unfortunately follow that same pattern when we read Scripture, especially if we’re trying to read a certain volume of passages as a goal. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us of the tremendous power of God’s Word to instruct, to inspire and to inspect. Lis...

November 02, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

The Holy Spirit & You, Part 2 | Allowing the Holy Spirit to Lead

October 30, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 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.
