Who Is Jesus? | Characteristics of Jesus

October 20, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB

When we’ve invited someone over for dinner, and they’re on their way, our excitement about it says something about our feelings for them, does it not? Your best friend since childhood – “can’t wait!” Your boss, who invited himself over, um...was that tonight? Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie brings us some foundational insights on the character and attributes of Jesus, we’ll give thought to His Second Coming. It’s a revealing look at how much we love the Lord! Listen on ...

Who Is Jesus? | Don’t Miss This

October 19, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MB

We could call the sun a source of warmth – but that misses the enormity. We could call a nuclear explosion a big flash of light – but that says nothing of the phenomenal power. So many times, people miss the enormity of who Jesus is? He walked among us, but He created the universe. He died, but He rose again. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us sense the full scope of who Jesus is. It’s a part of the series called, “Timeless.” Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and...

Who Is God? | God's Attributes

October 18, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MB

In Oklahoma, it’s reportedly illegal to trip a horse. In Arizona, it’s illegal for a donkey to sleep in a bathtub. In Connecticut, a pickle must be able to bounce. Yeah, those laws are reportedly still on the books. Mankind came up with some doozies. So why do we let the culture dictate what’s right and wrong? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series called “Timeless,” we’ll continue our look at the attributes of our God. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more an...

Who Is God? | God's Power

October 17, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

God parted the waters of the Red Sea, He caused time to stand still, He caused time to go backwards! He protected Daniel in the Lion’s Den, and the three Hebrew teens in the fiery furnace. Jesus fed multitudes with table scraps, healed the sick, raised the dead, and conquered the grave. And don’t forget all of creation! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how powerful God is, and how your gigantic problem is no match for an omnipotent God. Listen on harvest.org --- Lea...

Who Is God? | Following God's Path

October 16, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

If you’re on a long road trip, you’ve got to map out your course. If you don’t know where you’re going, how do you know when you get there!? As we travel the road of life, serving the Lord, heavenbound, we need to make sure we’re on course. If we ignore the direction of Scripture, we may discover we’re on that broad road that leads to destruction. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us recalibrate what we know, and what we do with what we know. Glad you’re along! Listen on ha...

Overcoming or Overcome? | Sunday Message

October 15, 2023 07:00 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MB

From Joshua chapter 5–6, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us to be steadfast in our faithfulness. Just as the Israelites trusted the Lord to deliver the promised land, we can trust Him with the challenges in our life. Notes: The Bible tells us that the final conflict of man would be centered on Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be the focal point of End Times events. Jerusalem plays a key role in the Last Days. Zechariah 12:2–3 We need to pray for Israel and their military, that they prevail in this...

The Power of One, Part 2 | The Effect of Our Choices

October 13, 2023 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB

People who attend class reunions are often surprised. Sometimes, the more popular people way back when have lost that prominence . . . and the prominent people today were the wallflowers years ago. And that’s not really random or accidental. It has to do with the choices they made. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the choices we make in how we serve God will affect the here and now, and will likely affect the hereafter as well. We’ll learn to chose well. Listen on h...

The Power of One, Part 1 | The Example of Moses

October 12, 2023 07:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

Throughout the Bible, we see stories of God using individuals to accomplish great things: Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon. Sometimes there’s strength in numbers, but other times there’s supernatural strength in a humble man or woman saying yes to God. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us open ourselves to being used by God by looking to the example of Moses. It’s an inspiring presentation from Pastor Greg’s series Water - Fire - Stone. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more a...

On the Outside Looking In | Getting Clean

October 11, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

Ever had a stain appear on an article of clothing? Maybe you try to wipe it clean. Maybe you try vinegar and baking soda . . . or one of the “revolutionary” new products from the store. Or, you take it to the cleaners . . . but you get it back and it’s still there! Sometimes our lives have stains like that . . . and the embarrassment never goes away. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to a reassuring story in God’s Word. We’ll see the Lord can treat the stains of our lives...

On the Outside Looking In | How Do You Represent Christ?

October 10, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MB

The Bible tells us that believers are ambassadors, or representatives of Christ. Each of us is a walking, talking billboard for the Lord. What does your billboard say? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series Water - Fire - Stone . . . an inspiring look at the life of Moses. And today, we’ll see how Moses actually demonstrated how NOT to behave as one of God’s children. We’ll see what happens when angers gets the best of us. Good insight is coming up. Listen on harv...

It's All How You Look at Things | God Stepping In

October 09, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MB

Sometimes, problems seem to come our way in droves. When it rains, it pours. Ever been at the end of your rope? Someone has said, when you get to the end of yourself, you get to the beginning of God. And the Bible is replete with accounts of God stepping in at the right place, at the right time, for just the right reason. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how God specializes in putting His providence and His faithfulness on display. We’ll see a case in point today. L...

Get Your Feet Wet! | Sunday Message

October 08, 2023 07:00 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MB

Pastor Greg Laurie gives us wisdom from Joshua 3–4, where we see the Israelites cross the Jordan River. Notes: The Christian life is not a playground but a battleground, and there’s not really a choice of fighting or not fighting; it’s a choice of victory or defeat. Deuteronomy 6:23 “He brought us out, that He might bring us in.” The people of Canaan were wicked. When people repent, God relents! Read: Joshua 3:4–8 If we want to enter the land of promises, we must be bold and strong! ...

It's All How You Look at Things | God's Perspective

October 06, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MB

When you’re driving clear across the country, you might encounter the Rocky Mountains. A huge mountain range. Pikes Peak alone jets up more than 14,000 feet into the sky. But when you fly over those mountains on an airliner, it kinda looks like the same ground you saw an hour ago but with more . . . texture. So it is with differing perspectives. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us God's reassuring perspective on our "mountain-sized" problems. Listen on harvest.org --...

A Blessing for You | Six Truths for Every Believer

October 05, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

There are some passages in the Bible that sound poetic and inspiring. The kind of thought you might see on social media or even crocheted on a throw pillow. But if you look below the surface, you can often find a treasure trove of rich insight to sink your spiritual teeth into. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie looks at a familiar verse, an inspiring verse, but one that reveals six truths about God every believer needs to know. Glad you're along for today's practical study. Liste...

A Blessing for You | Just What We Need

October 04, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

Has anyone ever tried to help you who – candidly – wasn’t much help at all? Maybe a child showed up to your plumbing emergency with a smile and her “Little Tikes” plastic, toy crescent wrench. It may have warmed your heart, but you were still ankle deep in water. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God can bless us when we need Him most, and with just what we need the most. It’s as if He knew all along! Today, we’ll learn how to open ourselves to His blessings. List...

How to Have Friendship with God | Approaching God in Prayer

October 03, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

The Lord never advises us to approach His throne gingerly, with reluctance and uncertainty. Even though He’s “God most high,” Hebrews invites us to “come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to the example of Moses, who showed us how to approach the Lord with uncommon courage and confidence. We’ll get some practical insight on taking our prayer lives to the next level. Listen ...

How to Have Friendship with God | Intercessory Prayer

October 02, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

Mature believers talk to others about God. And they also talk to God about others. Do you regularly pray for others . . . pray for their needs, pray they might come to the Lord or come closer to the Lord? Our mission statement here at A NEW BEGINNING is Knowing Him and Making Him Known. And intercessory prayer is a vital instrument in that pursuit. So today, Pastor Greg Laurie continues his series on the life of Moses uncovering the leader’s faithful ministry of intercessory prayer. Listen ...

From More Impossible to Effortless | Sunday Message

October 01, 2023 07:00 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MB

Pastor Jonathan Laurie shows us what we can learn about God through Rahab's story. Notes: 1 Samuel 16:7 “…the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Joshua 2 / Joshua 6 Read: Joshua 2:1–15 This Is Only a Test.

The Heart of the Problem | What Is Coveting?

September 29, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

At various times, we all come down with a case of the “gimmes.” Gimme this, gimme that. And nearly every advertisement feeds that craving. Whatever they say, what they really mean is, “You want one of these, don’t you?” A new car, a new phone, a new outfit. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the biblical reference to coveting goes even beyond the gimmes. “I don’t just want one...I want YOURS.” Today, we’ll see it’s addressed in the 10 Commandments. Listen on harvest...

The Heart of the Problem | Changing Our Behaviors

September 28, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

Children often look like their parents. It could be facial features, the way they move their hands as they speak, or their laugh. And a child will often mimic his parents’ mannerisms. Something about an apple not falling far from a tree. But ever since Eve was handed the fruit of one particular tree, Satan has been lying to us . . . and many now mimic his behavior. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us chart a course for our behavior from the Lord’s 10 Commandments. Listen o...

From Hopelessness to Happiness | Identifying Idols

September 27, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MB

What things are most important in our lives? Our computers probably know . . . our smartphones have a good idea. Or certainly our checkbook or our charge card. What captures our attention, what steals our thoughts? What is it that’s always near the top of our minds? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that idols are anything or anyone that takes our focus off of God. And we’ll see the Lord recognizes the danger and mentions it in His 10 Commandments. Listen on harvest.or...

From Hopelessness to Happiness | A Deeper Look at the Ten Commandments

September 26, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

If we thought about it, many of us could name our 10 favorite movies . . . our 10 favorite actors . . . our 10 favorite songs . . . our 10 favorite meals. But what about God’s top 10 instructions, carved on stone tablets and hand-delivered to Moses on Mt. Sinai? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us dig in to those instructions as we return to his series called Water - Fire - Stone . . . an enlightening study of the life of Moses. Good encouragement coming our way today. Lis...

Violence & Sex | How to Renew Your Mind

September 25, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

If there’s some liquid left in the bottom of a drinking glass – milk, juice, soft drink – what’s the first thing we do to get it clean. Rinse it out, right? Run some water in it and flush it clean. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that same approach works well with all the stuff that needs to be cleaned out of our minds. We’ll see how to wash it clean with a renewed mind and a renewed passion to draw closer to the Lord. It’s a message from Pastor Greg’s series simply c...

Between Impossible and More Impossible | Sunday Message

September 24, 2023 07:00 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MB

Pastor Greg Laurie gives great encouragement and guidance for navigating the seemingly impossible.  Notes: The flood had come, and the Earth was covered in water. Genesis 8:1 Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery and thought him dead. Genesis 50:20 Death does not have the final word. Psalm 49:15 God is bigger than any obstacle! God will always have the last word! Hebrews 11:25–26 “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of ...

Violence & Sex | How to Respond to Hatred

September 22, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MB

The Bible tells us God is love. Yes, He’s loving, but First John 4:8 says God IS love. And it says, “He who does not love does not know God . . .” So it should come as no surprise that hatred is not a part of God’s plan for believers. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses the hatred we see around us in our culture. What are we as believers to do? Good insight is coming. And a word to parents – the content of today’s study may be a little too strong for younger ears. Lis...

The Family Matters | Sharing Your Faith With Your Kids

September 21, 2023 07:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MB

Teaching our children to walk and talk is not usually intimidating. Teaching them to tie a shoe or pedal a bike is in our comfort zone. But we parents sometimes stall when it comes to sharing our faith with our kids. We acknowledge it’s the most important subject of all, but few parents feel like they’ve mastered the assignment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us solid insight based on the 10 Commandments found in Exodus chapter 20. Glad you’re along. Listen on harvest.o...

The Family Matters | God's Design for the Home

September 20, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

The cultural definition of a family is quite broad and all-encompassing. It’s proudly inclusive. But when we get creative with what a family is, we get creative with how a family works. And if we get too creative, maybe it’s time to consult the Creator. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie gets us back to bedrock truth as laid out in God’s timeless Word. We’ll go back to the 10 Commandments and discuss how to honor God’s design for how homes can function best. Listen on harvest.org ...

What's the Big Deal with God's Name? | God's Blueprint

September 19, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MB

If we follow God’s blueprint for life, our lives will go better. You can depend on that. If we ignore God’s blueprint, our lives will face more challenges and heartache. But sometimes we think we’re the exception . . . or this situation is the exception. The sweet aroma of certain decisions can lead to the stench of bad destinations. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us consider more of the timeless wisdom we find in the 10 Commandments. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn mo...

What's the Big Deal with God's Name? | Honoring God's Name

September 18, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

God Almighty is worthy of all glory and honor. We’re mere men and women under the umbrella of His divine authority. So how inappropriate is it to express some kind of disrespect or dishonor to God on high? It’s almost a question that doesn’t need to be asked. Yet so many dishonor the Lord by using His name inappropriately. Does it bother God? Well, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that transgression is mentioned in God’s top ten list of commandments. Listen on harvest...

How to Live a Successful Christian Life | Sunday Message

September 17, 2023 07:00 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MB

Pastor Greg Laurie starts a new series called, “Joshua: Living in the Land of Promises” with an encouraging message on living a successful Christian life. New believers tend to be on fire: excited for church, Bible studying, having a healthy prayer life. . . But then a backslide happens: going back to the same sins, neglecting prayer and Bible reading. . . In this message we'll see how we can put a stop to that. Notes Joshua is the story of the end of the wilderness wanderings of the Jewi...

"10", Part 2: No Other Gods | The Top Ten Instructions From God

September 15, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

The military has specific ranks among its service members. Admirals and Generals . . .Captains and Colonels . . . Sergeants and Petty Officers. It’s a chain of command . .  and there’s never any doubt who’s in charge in any situation. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps Christian soldiers realize their chain of command. It’s basic, essential truth spelled out clearly in the 10 Commandments. Today, we’re studying these top ten instructions from God. Listen on harvest.org --- ...

"10", Part 2: No Other Gods | Is God Your Number One?

September 14, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MB

We each have to make a decision in our relationship with God. Are we sold out . . . or are we a sell out? Are we sold out for the Lord, where He is number one and we don’t compromise? Or do we allow ourselves to sell out to the world and its lures? We face that question afresh each and every day. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s an issue that’s addressed up front in the 10 Commandments, and it’s a decision that affects our quality of life. Listen on harvest...

"10", Part 1: No Other Gods | A Balanced Life

September 13, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MB

Ever driven on a tire that’s out of balance. Sometimes it feels like the tire is bouncing down the roadway . . . the steering wheel wabbles, your seat vibrates and you wonder if you’re losing control. But a tire store can adjust that balance and give you a smooth ride once again. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how to adjust a life that’s out of balance. If your life is wabbling and it feels a little out of control, glad you pulled in for an adjustment today from the 10...

"10", Part 1: No Other Gods | The Standard for Right and Wrong

September 12, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MB

What time is it? No, really. What’s the exact time? How do we know what the exact time is? Maybe your clock is a few seconds different from mine. The defacto standard is International Atomic Time, a weighted average of time kept by over 400 atomic clocks in 50 laboratories worldwide. That’s the source that’s trustworthy. When it comes to right and wrong, Pastor Greg Laurie says the trustworthy standard is God’s Word. And we’ll consult that standard today on A NEW BEGINNING. Listen on harves...

The Desert Song | Remembering What's Important

September 11, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

One of the great tools to memorization is repetition. If we hear something over and over, we can’t help but remember. We didn’t intend to memorize the words to that TV theme, or that corny commercial, but they’re stuck in our heads. Why? Repetition. The real question is, what do we let our minds hear over and over. But the fact you’re listening now is a great step forward. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings some scriptural truth worth remembering. Listen on harvest.org ...

September 10, 2023 07:00 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MB

He also focuses on how we should be living as believers waiting for the Lord’s return.  Notes Israel will be scattered. Israel will be regathered. Israel will regain Jerusalem.

The Desert Song | Finding Joy in the Eternal

September 08, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

Smart grocery shoppers pay attention to expiration dates. You may see a dozen cartons of milk on the shelf . . . but a careful look shows that the expiration dates on some cartons are much further into the future. But sometimes we don’t think carefully about the other things of life that may affect us. Those things that bring quick enjoyment, often bring long-lasting disappointment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus on the things above. It’s a study of Moses. Liste...

Between Impossible & More Impossible | Get Moving

September 07, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

GPS systems have come a long way over the years. They not only can show the best route, but traffic along the way, coffee stores, gas stations and fast food. You know exactly which way to go and how long it’ll take. But you still have to put the car in drive and get moving. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the same is true in our walk with God. After we’ve prayed for direction and strength, it’s time to get moving. It’s harder to steer a parked car.  Listen on har...

Between Impossible & More Impossible | The Source of Hope

September 06, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MB

We love to watch movies where the hero is stuck in an impossible situation with time running out. Will he make it? Can he make it? And he’s rescued just in the nick of time. But when WE’RE stuck in a tough spot, it’s not nearly as enjoyable. No inspiring music – maybe just an icy, lonely silence. And it may look like our time is up. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says don’t give up hope. Instead, realize where your hope comes from.  Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and s...

The Passover: A New Beginning | The Solution for Sin

September 05, 2023 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

Nearly all pain relievers on the market use the phrase “for fast, temporary relief.” Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen – they’ll give a little relief, for a little while. But when it comes to forgiveness of our sin, we’re more interest in “immediate, everlasting relief” from our guilt and guile. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the story of the first Passover, we’ll see God provided a solution for sin that forever paid the price that had to be paid.  Listen on har...

The Passover: A New Beginning | The Significance of the Blood

September 04, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

New believers and non-believers can be baffled by so many references to blood in Scripture: washed in the blood, saved by the blood, the blood of the covenant, the blood of the Lamb. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, some biblical history and context as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the book of Exodus and Moses’ confrontation with the Pharaoh of Egypt . . . a confrontation that culminated one night in the death of all the first-born sons of Egyptians. But the Lord passed over and spared all the Jew...

The Passover: A New Beginning | Invest in God

September 01, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

The stock market has had some tumultuous times in recent years. Trillions of dollars lost in days. But some managed to weather the storm...a few even had a gain. What’s the difference? They knew where to invest. What investments are a sure thing? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we should invest our lives in our relationship with God and His plan. That’s a plan that never devalues, dwindles or depreciates. Today, we’re studying the life of Moses. Listen on harvest.org...

The Danger of the Compromised Life | You Can't Negotiate With Sin

August 31, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MB

Ever gotten into a dialogue with a telemarketer. You refuse his sales pitch, but he always has a rebuttal, a counter argument, a counter offer! Sometimes the best way to deal with him is just to say goodbye. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we can use that same approach with our spiritual adversary. We can’t negotiate with sin, we can’t “come to an understanding” with evil, we can’t compromise with the Devil. Today, some insight from our study of the life of Moses. Li...

The Danger of the Compromised Life | Cling to the Lord

August 30, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

Wedding vows are pledges of loyalty and faithfulness to a spouse. You never hear a groom promising to “love, honor and cherish, but I’m still going to date some other girls on the side.” A good relationship is defined by how much we do for the other...not by how much we can get away with just ‘cause we want to. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that same dynamic applies in our spiritual lives...as we cling to the Lord, and resist our spiritual adversary. Listen on ...
