- 1177Jesus & The Pretender | From Betrayal to the CrossJesus was arrested and subjected to unjust trials before the Jewish leaders and Roman governor Pilate. Though found innocent, He was sentenced to death to appease the crowd. Jesus was scourged, mocked, and forced to carry His cross to Golgotha. There, He was crucified between two criminals, ultimately dying to pay the penalty for our sin. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us it all began with betrayal ... by one of His own disciples.

- 1178Jesus & The Great Commission | Called to Speak UpThe number one reason believers don’t share their faith is fear: “What if I offend that person? What if it changes the relationship?” Would we be concerned about that if their home was on fire and they were in danger? Well, the Gospel saves people from a very real eternal danger. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how Jesus Himself directed us to spread the word far and wide. Someone’s eternity could literally hang in the balance if we don’t.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie explains it’s the same with the Christian life. We help people find Jesus, and show them how to follow Him.

- 1182Going Forward | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)The moment you think you’ve “made it” is the moment you risk drifting backward—forward momentum is essential for every Christian. Today, Pastor Jonathan Laurie shares how returning to the basics keeps you spiritually grounded and thriving. Notes: Focus verse - Philippians 3:7–21 #1 Forward Is Fundamental Philippians 3:12 (NLT)I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. Acts 2:42 (NKJV)And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. We will never outgrow the fundamentals:Read your BiblePrayGo to churchShare your faith These are the weapons of our spiritual warfare. The same basics that started your walk will sustain your walk. #2 Forward Requires Focus Philippians 3:13 (NLT)No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, Hebrews 12:1–2 (NLT) Keeping our eyes on Jesus. Paul said, “This one thing I do… I press on. I forget the things behind me.”Philippians 3:13–14 Habakkuk 3:18 (NLT)Yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! #3 Forward Means Action Philippians 3:14 (NLT)I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Philippians 3:15 (NLT)Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you. Proverbs 4:25–27 (NLT) Get into a small group. Sign up to volunteer. Give with generosity. Share your faith. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

- 1186Why God Chose You | Related to RoyaltyGenealogy is big business these days. And now more than 40 million people have taken DNA tests to learn more about their lineage – maybe hoping they’re related to royalty!

- 1187You Reap What You Sow | The Pride and the HumbleSome do many great things, but talk very little about them. Some do few great things, but talk a lot about them. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie presents a contrast between Mordecai and another man named Haaman. They both appear in the story of Esther. One is a good man and gets little recognition – the other, an evil man who’s angling for great recognition. But today, as the story continues, the winds of change blow, and these men get their “just desserts.” Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org A New Beginning is the daily half-hour program hosted by Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Southern California.

- 1188Honoring Charlie Kirk: A Life Devoted to God, Family, and CountryCharlie Kirk was a remarkable young man whose life left a lasting imprint on our nation—and on the world. He began TPUSA at just the age of 18 and made a difference on many college campuses. He talked with students, gave speeches, and powerfully communicated through logic, clarity, courage, and peace. He was a patriot and American who loved his country. But first and foremost, Charlie Kirk was a Christian, devoted husband, and loving father. He was a bold voice for Jesus Christ. As painfully shocking as his loss is, we can take comfort in knowing that Charlie is now in Heaven. The moment he took his last breath here on earth, he took his first breath in the presence of the Lord. That is the hope we hold on to as believers—eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. In their most unimaginable time, please join me in praying for Charlie’s wife, Erika, and their two young children who won’t understand why their dad isn’t coming home. May the God of all comfort surround them with peace and strength.Support the show: https://bit.ly/anbsupportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 1189You Reap What You Sow | What You Plant, GrowsSo many say they’re glad they came to Christ for forgiveness of sin and only wished they’d done it sooner.

- 1190Unshakeable: When Faith Feels Fragile | Secure in SalvationWhen we give someone a birthday gift, we don’t ask them to give it back when they disappoint us.

- 1195This Is Us | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)A “stagnant Christian” should be an oxymoron. God's plan for His children is that they be edified, constantly moving forward in faith. But the Christian can't become spiritually mature alone... Notes: Focus verse - Ephesians 4 We don’t stand in our own strength, but we are built up together on the foundation of Christ. Upward – glorify GodInward – edify each otherOutward – reach people with the Gospel Edification happens inside each of us when we submit ourselves to God and allow Him to conform us into the image of His Son, Jesus. We are built up so that He is lifted up.1. Edification Is Jesus’ Blueprint.Ephesians 4:11–12 Isaiah 28:16Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;Whoever believes will never be shaken.” Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles—it’s up to you to make sure these children are prepared for spiritual battle. Be proactively teaching your kids Biblical truth or they will be led astray. When Jesus is the cornerstone, and when His people are equipped and built up in truth, the church stands strong. Romans 14:19 (ESV)So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Let us pursue. 2. Edification Produces Maturity.Ephesians 4:13–14 (NKJV) Edification gives us:- discernment- stability- resilience Longevity doesn’t equal maturity. Jesus loved them enough to tell them the truth and call them to repentance. True love doesn’t enable sin; it confronts it. 3. Edification Requires Every Member’s Contribution.Ephesians 4:15–16 (NKJV) It is essential, that we speak the truth in love. 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV)but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, Our goal is to lead people to Christ, to be a light in the world. Speak the truth in love.Use your gifts.Pour into others. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org. This podcast is supported by the generosity of our Harvest Partners.
