  1. 745The Secret to Sharing the Gospel Effectively | Christian UnityWhether it’s a small folk group or a large orchestra, beautiful music comes when everyone plays together in rhythm and harmony. If each is playing a different tune, they have a word for that: yuck! Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of unity in our efforts to bring the gospel to our generation. In a time of division and disunity in the culture, it’s more important than ever that we all come together “in one accord,” as the Bible puts it.

  2. 746The Secret to Sharing the Gospel Effectively | The Power of the GospelWhen God wanted to share His message of love, surprisingly He chose to use people to reach people. Flawed, fallible, foible-filled people. Ahh, but the power of the message is not in us messengers, it’s built in to the message. And the boldness and direction we need is built in to us by the Spirit who lives within us. Pastor Greg Laurie discusses that today on A NEW BEGINNING as he continues a message from his brand new series in Acts – a series called The Upside-Down Life.

  3. 747True Friendship | Sunday MessagePastor Jonathan Laurie shares what a true friendship looks like to the godly person. Notes: “David did not know the rest of his story, he just knew that God was writing it, and it would ultimately be good. God has a future for you, too. Until that day, remember, ‘Our times are in His hands.’” —Pastor Greg Remember that we can always trust an unknown future to a known God. “True Friendship” 1 Samuel / Psalms 1 Samuel 18:1–4 1. A good friend is one who recognizes God’s Will. 1 Samuel 18:1–4 / Psalm 37:4–7 1 Samuel 20:30–33 “A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.” —G.K. Chesterton Psalm 37:4–7 Matthew 6:33 If something makes you forget about God or not want to spend time with Him, you need to deny yourself of it … no matter how good you may think it is. Mark 8:36 2. A good friend is one who builds each other up. 1 Samuel 23:15–18 / Psalm 27:1–3, 14 Psalm 27:1–3 3. A good friend is one who is sacrificial. 1 Samuel 18:1–4 / Psalm 22 Sacrificial love is a type of love that is willing to deny itself, to put itself in harm’s way to get you to safety.

  4. 748Better Together | Early Days of the ChurchChristianity is a worldwide faith. Some say over 31% are Christians the world over. Yet, if you rewind history, Christianity began in a small geographic area on the other side of the globe, with just a handful of followers. How in the world did they reach the world!? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us some good insight from the book of Acts that’ll help us encourage one another in the faith, and reach our world in our time with the love of Christ.

  5. 749Better Together | We Should Imitate the Early ChurchThe Lord has many options for reaching us in a time of need. Certainly one of the most obvious and most important is the local church. In a crisis, help may be as close as the church down the street. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn from the early Church. As we study the Book of Acts today, we’ll see they set the example for reaching out with the care and concern of Jesus Christ . . . and they provide us an opportunity to serve—to give as we’ve received.

  6. 750The Gifts That Keep Giving | Gifts God Gives UsWhether you’re a woodworker, a steel worker or in another form of construction, you know that, the tougher the job, the more the need for power tools. Hard to build a skyscraper with just a tape measure and a good idea. Well, spiritually speaking, with some of our assignments, the Lord gives US power tools. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of putting them to work. It’s part of his series in the book of Acts called The Upside-Down Life.

  7. 751The Gifts That Keep Giving | God Can Use YouGreat things rarely happen when we’re deep inside our comfort zones. No one’s ever heard of the great LazyBoy Revival, or the evangelistic Hammock Crusades! No, somebody’s got to get up and do somethin’! And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us some good news: God empowers and equips those He calls into service. You may already have a special God-given talent you’re not even aware of. Today, we’ll learn how to identify and use those abilities.

  8. 752They Had Been with Jesus | Is It Obvious You've Been with Him?When we spend some serious time out in the sun, it’s pretty obvious. People can see it all over our face. “You got some sun, didn’t you?” Well today, we’ll see when we spend some time with the Son – S-O-N – it may be just as obvious. People will wonder what’s different about us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie continues our studies of the Church of the First Century in the book of Acts. It’s a series called The Upside-Down Life. Let’s see how to show we’ve been with Jesus.

  9. 753The Power of Forgiveness | Sunday MessagePastor Greg Laurie brings us a message on the power of forgiveness, a virtue every Christian should embrace. As he always reminds us, “Forgiven people should be forgiving people.” Hear all he has to say on the matter. Notes 2 Samuel 1 Does God approve or disapprove of us? Our Father in Heaven stands apart from all earthly fathers. David was a warrior, a worshipper, a lover, and a fighter, but he was also wrathful, petty, vengeful, and openly sinful. Be careful what you wish for. You might get it! Read: 2 Samuel 1:23–27 David did not remember Saul's sins! Grace forgives and forgets! The people of Israel wanted peace today! The Israelites were not colonizers because God gave them the land to begin with. Jews are the indigenous people of the land of Judea. David was willing to forgive his enemies and live at peace with them. This is why David is called a man after God's own heart. Read: 2 Samuel 9:2–13 God specializes in taking people who have been dropped in life and picking them back up again! The word kindness could better be translated as "grace." Justice is getting what I deserve. Mercy is not getting what I deserve. Grace is getting what I don't deserve. Just as David reached out to Mephibosheth, God reaches out to us! 2 Samuel 9:5 David was persistent in not giving up on this young man. He didn't just send for him; he brought him. Mephibosheth was afraid when he heard David wanted to see him. 2 Samuel 9:6 David brought Mephibosheth to his table as a member of his royal family. 2 Samuel 9:11 Eating is for a time of sharing and rejoicing. Don't let another person form your view of God. Find out for yourself who God is. So many are kept from a relationship with God by what others say. Forgive your enemies … if they deserve it or not. God took care of the enemies of David. Leave the past in the past. The funny thing about life is that what we think is good may turn out, in time, to be bad, and that which we think is bad now may turn out to be good. Psalm 27:4 David, out of sheer love for Jonathan, demonstrated his grace to his handicapped son. Mephibosheth had nothing, deserved nothing, and could repay nothing. Mephibosheth was adopted as a son and invited to eat at the king's table. Don't let other people form your opinion of God.

  10. 754They Had Been with Jesus | Signs You're Right with the LordJesus warned us that we may face persecution for our faith. It doesn’t mean we’re doing something wrong, in fact it may be an indication that we’re right with the Lord. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to that characteristic and several others that show us how we’re doing. If we’re walking closely with the Lord, these traits will be obvious. It’s good insight, and a good opportunity to take some notes. Pastor Greg is in the book of Acts today, reading from the New Living Translation.

  11. 755Honest to God | Being Genuine, Not a HypocriteWhen we hide behind a facade, a false-front, trying to pretend we’re someone we’re not, we’re not fooling God, right? He knows who we really are. In fact, He knows us better than we know ourselves. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the peril of living an imitation life. It’s a disappointment to the Lord, and our act may not be believable to those around us either. It’s a good opportunity for a reset, and to live a life of transparent honesty going forward.

  12. 756Honest to God | You Can't Fool GodIn the movie industry, they talk about the “suspension of disbelief.” It’s all make-believe, right? But they try to make the costumes, and the special effects, and the acting so convincing that it suspends our disbelief. They hope we forget it’s fake. Or fiction, if you prefer. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that some people sort of act their way through life. They try to suspend our disbelief about how they’re really living. We’ll see that’s a fruitless pursuit.

  13. 757A Life Well-Lived | Fixing Your Eyes on JesusRemember back to your school years. You’re in class, paying attention to the teacher, but the cut-up in the front row, the class clown, starts to...perform. He’s miming what the teacher is saying. You try not to look, but you can’t help yourself. Distractions are powerful, aren’t they? And they’re everywhere. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ. It’s the pathway of a life well-lived.

  14. 758A Life Well-Lived | A Spiritual ExampleWe’re on an inspiring journey through the book of Acts here on A NEW BEGINNING. Pastor Greg Laurie is helping us learn from our spiritual forefathers and see how “The Acts of the Apostles” show us how to live more rewarding lives here and now, 20 centuries later. Today, in a message called A Life Well-Lived, Pastor Greg helps us consider the story of a young man in Acts chapter 7 that set a strong example for other believers to follow.

  15. 759An Interview with Former Mobster, Michael FranzeseIn this classic interview, Pastor Greg Laurie interviews former Colombo family underboss Michael Franzese about his testimony of coming to faith in Christ.  In his past life, Michael was one of the richest and most powerful mobsters of his day, earning tens of millions of dollars from various criminal enterprises, but this is not the most incredible thing about Michael Franzese. By God’s grace, the impossible happened in Michael’s life: he quit the mob and lived. Christ transformed him from hardened criminal to follower of Christ.  This is an amazing and encouraging story giving hope that no one is beyond Christ and His transformative power.  This interview previously aired exclusively on A New Beginning radio. *Get a special Father's Day message from Pastor Greg—plus a FREE resource to help you (or the dads you know) navigate Christian fatherhood here!* --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org This podcast is supported by the generosity of our Harvest Partners.Support the show: https://bit.ly/anbsupportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.21 min
  16. 760The God of Second Chances | Sunday MessageIf it weren’t for second chances, we’d all be in spiritual danger. But our God is merciful and generously offers not one, not two, but multiple chances—even if it’s undeserved. Pastor Greg Laurie reveals more about this God of second chances in today's episode. Notes: Forgiveness is available for every person, no matter how far they have fallen. David stayed close to God and wanted to honor Him.Psalm 57:7 Read: 2 Samuel 11:1–5 When things are going reasonably well, we often begin to lower our guard, and then the devil attacks. David’s fall came after great spiritual success. The sins we commit today may come back to haunt us tomorrow. David was allowing lust to consume his life. God has given a sexual drive to every man and woman, which is to be fulfilled in a monogamous marriage commitment. When a man is filled with lust, it cannot be satisfied with more lust. You don’t feed lust; you starve it! David was sleeping when he should have been fighting. Mark 6:31 If we don’t come apart and rest, we will come apart spiritually. Our greatest battles don’t necessarily come when we’re working hard; they often come when we have some leisure time on our hands and when we are bored. “Moments of leisure are more to be dreaded than those of strenuous toil.” —Alan Redpath “Moments of leisure are more to be dreaded than those of strenuous toil.” —F.B. Meyer 2 Samuel 11:3 When deluded by sin, we do not think clearly because sin makes us stupid! Instead of confessing, David tried to hide his sin. Is God putting up roadblocks in your life right now? You might be rationalizing sin in your mind, but God has not made it easy because He loves you! 2 Samuel 11:27 Psalm 32 describes the futility and misery of sin that is unconfessed. Read: Psalm 32:1–5 God will not allow His child to get away with sin. God disciplines those He loves.Hebrews 12:8 “I have sinned against the Lord.”2 Samuel 12:13 We have ourselves to blame when we fall into sin.James 1:14–15 There is only one correct response to being caught in sin: “I have sinned!”2 Samuel 12:13 Despite David’s sin, he was given a second chance in life. Bathsheba made it into the Messianic line of Jesus Christ.Matthew 1:6 Do you need a second chance? You can be forgiven of all your sin right now, because Jesus died on the cross for you.

  17. 761No One Is Beyond the Reach of God | Sharing the Good NewsThere are several groups of people who used to say they’d never become religious, never darken the door of a church building, never be caught carrying a Bible. Today, we call one of those groups “believers” . . . another of those groups “pastors” . . . and another group “evangelists.” Pastor Greg Laurie is a member of all three groups! And today on A NEW BEGINNING, he brings us good encouragement about sharing the Good News with people who need to hear some good news.

  18. 762No One Is Beyond the Reach of God | An Important ChoiceIn spite of the fact that eternal life is a free gift from God, paid for by Jesus’ death at Calvary, some accept that gift and some don’t. That’s startling to believers: “heaven or hell, take your pick.” “Yeah, I just don’t think heaven’s the right fit for me.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’ll take a look at that choice and how people each make the choices that lead to life or death.
