  • The Power of Forgiveness | God Knows You

    The Power of Forgiveness | God Knows You
    Aug 13 2025

    We all have friends and acquaintances. Some acquaintances may be a friend of a friend, so we don’t know them very well. We may even know a friend of a friend of a friend. . . your next door neighbor’s aunt’s gardener’s sister. God knows each one of us individually. And He wants a close friendship with each of us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how that intimacy forms the bedrock for our redemption, and for the way God cares and provides for us.

  • The Power of Forgiveness | The Free Gift of Grace

    The Power of Forgiveness | The Free Gift of Grace
    Aug 12 2025

    Advertisers know that nothing gets our attention more than the word “free.” If we can get something for nothing, we’re listening. Well, God’s offer of eternal life means we trade in our sins and shortcomings . . . our nothingness . . . and He gives us eternal life. What’s more, His grace is literally something for nothing. We’ll learn about that today on A NEW BEGINNING as Pastor Greg Laurie continues our studies in the Psalms. We’ll get a good lesson on forgiveness, mercy and grace.

  • Our Future Is In God’s Hands | Right on Time

    Our Future Is In God’s Hands | Right on Time
    Aug 11 2025

    Do you know someone who always runs late? They’re on their own timetable. One thing is certain. One day they’ll meet God exactly on time. God never taps his watch and says, “What took you so long?” Nor does He say, “You’re here already?” God has definitively numbered our days. And coming up today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how reassuring it can be to know our life is in the Lord’s hands. He’s in control, and we can trust His plan.

  • Are We Seeing Another Spiritual Awakening? | Sunday Message

    Are We Seeing Another Spiritual Awakening? | Sunday Message
    Aug 10 2025
    As we witness a growing hunger for spiritual truth in our culture, we have to ask—are we on the edge of another Jesus Revolution? Pastor Greg Laurie shares why he believes we just might be. Notes: Focus verse - Nehemiah 9 Could this be the start of another spiritual awakening? The objective of proclamation evangelism is to clearly preach the gospel and invite people to Christ. Isaiah 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? Acts 2:17 (NLT) 'In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.’ Psalm 85:6 (NLT)Won't you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? Younger men are more likely to become Christians than younger women. Is this another national spiritual awakening? I hope and pray it is. Gen Z has the highest suicide rate of any generation. Teens regularly use AI companions instead of human interaction. The only hope for this generation is Jesus and, for that matter, any generation. #1 In the US we have had four great spiritual awakenings.The first one happened in America before we were a nation in 1740. George Whitfield’s preaching drew massive crowds. The first Great Awakening didn’t just change hearts, it helped shape the moral DNA of the United States. America is exceptional. America is unique.America has been established by God. George Washington was quick to give credit to God for his success on the battlefield. #2 The second Great Awakening occurred during 1790s to 1840s and was led by many, including Charles Finney. #3 The third Great Awakening in America was from about 1857–1859.This revival began when a 48-year-old businessman namedJeremiah Lanphier began a prayer meeting on Fulton Street in New York City. “Revival is the rekindling of a flame, and when the fire is lit,it doesn’t just warm the church—it lights up the world!” —David Jeremiah #4 The fourth Great Awakening was the Jesus Movement. #1 Revival is coming back to life. Revival is refreshment; it’s restoration; it’s returning to original condition. Psalm 80:19 (ESV) Restore us, O LORD God! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! A revival is when God’s people come back to life again. A spiritual awakening is what America needs. Revival is what the church needs. Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV) "…you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works,” #2 Revival is waking from sleep. It’s turning from sin. God’s prescription for revival or restoration is in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Read Nehemiah 9:1–4 (NLT) #3 If we want to see revival, we must pray with passion. Matthew 15:22 (NLT)"Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is possessed by a demon…" We need to pray like early church prayed for Peter to be delivered from prison.Acts 12:5 Fervent means displaying passionate intensity. #4 If you want to see revival, you must confess your sins. We all have sins to confess each and every day. 1 John 1:8 (NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. A sin of commission is doing what you should not do.A sin of omission is not doing what you should do.James 4:17 #5 They separated themselves from ungodly influences. #6 They heard God’s word, and they acted on it. The Bible is our model for how we ought to think and to live. John 15:14 (KJV)You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. God told Joshua the secret to success.Joshua 1:7 (NLT) #7 Revival always leads to evangelism. The evidence of revival is a changed community. Acts 2:41 (NIV) Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. John 4:35 (NIV)“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” New believers need older believers to stabilize them.Older believers need new believers to energize them. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

  • Our Future Is In God’s Hands | The Freedom Found in Forgiveness

    Our Future Is In God’s Hands | The Freedom Found in Forgiveness
    Aug 8 2025

    We sometimes think that forgiveness is something we do for the person who wronged us. Frankly, they may not know . . . or care. No, forgiveness is something we do for ourselves. As Pastor Greg Laurie has said, forgiveness sets a prisoner free – us. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, we look to the Psalms for important encouragement on biblical forgiveness. We follow David as he was facing mortal danger from an enemy. Yet his behavior is a model for us to follow.

    Sadly, in the U.S., there are more than 18 million children with no father in the home. Dads are absent from 80% of single-parent homes. But each and every one of them has a Heavenly Father who cares deeply for them. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us recognize the blessing of provision and protection that provides. Pastor Greg points out we have a Father in heaven who loves us and always has time for us. Good encouragement coming from the Psalms.

  • Don’t Be Afraid | Strength for the Battle Within

    Don’t Be Afraid | Strength for the Battle Within
    Aug 6 2025

    Cartoons have often depicted an angel on one shoulder, and a demon on the other, each whispering their...suggestions. Who will he listen to, the angel (glissando) or the demon (sfx)? Cartoons have had some lighthearted fun with what’s often a real struggle: spiritual warfare. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us some practical encouragement straight from the pages of the Psalms. Psalm 27 says to each of us, “Don’t be afraid.”

  • The Lord Is My Shepherd | Shaped Through Struggles

    The Lord Is My Shepherd | Shaped Through Struggles
    Aug 5 2025

    A tree goes through a torturous process to become fine furniture. There’s the felling and the debarking and the cutting and the planing and the sanding and the drilling and the glueing and the pounding. But the final product can serve people for generations. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how the challenges we face in life may not be pleasant—in fact may seem down right torturous—but the Lord uses those to shape us into the people He wants us to be.
