Wake Up, Suit Up, Lighten Up | Committing Ourselves to the Lord Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Many people have colorful stories about their first car. Dependably undependable. Some had to hold the shift lever “just so” to start it, or pop the hood and tap on the battery, or make sure they parked on a hill so they could get a rolling start the next day. How much can God depend on us? Are we “instant in season” . . . or stuck in park? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie invites us to fully commit ourselves to the Lord and to the work He wants us to do.

Wake Up, Suit Up, Lighten Up | Ready for Christ's Return Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

Ever been driving along a familiar road, and suddenly you realize you don’t remember the last couple of miles? Your mind was in a fog. You were going through the motions, hand on the steering wheel, foot on the gas pedal, but you weren’t focused. Pastor Greg Laurie is concerned that some people may be serving the Lord that way - lack of focus, in a bit of a fog. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’ll get a wake up call to be alert and prepared for the soon return of the Lord. Insights from Romans.

Handling Hardship & Difficult People | Relief From Our Burdens Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

You might be surprised to know that we put a man on the moon before anyone ever invented a suitcase with wheels. Yeah, in the 60s, everyone grabbed the handle and lifted. But in the 70s, roller bags emerged and people thought why carry the load when you don’t have to. But so many of us are carrying the burden of long-ago offenses when we don’t have to. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us find relief. We’ll see the path forward is outlined clearly in the Bible.

Handling Hardship & Difficult People | Responding to Persecution Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Each of us is born with something commonly called the “fight or flight” response. If our safety is threatened, our skin gets flushed, our pupils dilate, and our heart rate speeds up. It’s your body’s way of getting ready to respond. But when someone persecutes us, we often feel that same urge to respond. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says the WAY we respond makes all the difference in the world. And we’ll see Jesus taught us a way to respond that furthers the Kingdom.

What It Really Means to Love God | A Closer Look at Love Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

The book of Romans contains some of the most profound insight on what the Christian faith is all about. Paul wrote this theology textbook for a church some 1500 miles away from his own home. But within the explanations of righteousness and redemption is important information about God’s love for us, our love for God, and love for others. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie focuses on that theme as he brings us a message called What It Really Means to Love God.

The Joy of Sharing Your Faith | Sunday Message Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

The Harvest Crusade at the Honda Center is coming July 1–2! Get all details: https://crusade.harvest.org/

---

Sharing your faith is a major tenet of the Christian life, but it can be intimidating! In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie demonstrates how to be bold and evangelize efficiently and often.

Notes

“There are two types of speakers: those who get nervous, and those who are liars!” —Mark Twain

Why don’t we share our faith more?

1. Fear of rejection.

2. Anxiety of being asked questions we can’t answer.

3. Feeling we are not the best example.

Being an evangelist is a gift more people have than they may realize.

1. Effective sharing starts with caring.

We will never reach out to people if we don’t care about them.

2 Timothy 2:26

We will never reach anyone if we don’t have contact with them.

The meaning of beautiful feet is “full bloom” … like a blossoming flower.

1. Sharing the gospel is life-giving to us, as well as the person we share with.

Another translation of the word beautiful is “lively.”

It’s saying, “How lively are the feet, those that preach the gospel of peace.”

We have a choice: We can keep it and stagnate, or we can share our faith and flourish and be like a well-watered garden. Evangelize or fossilize.

God primarily reaches people through verbal articulation.

“Oh, I don’t reject your Christ. I love Christ. It’s just so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ!” —Gandhi

The only way to get to Heaven is to be saved by Jesus Christ!

The gospel is only Good News if it gets there in time.

3. We should share the gospel with whosoever, whenever!

The Will of God is revealed as we read Scripture and take steps of faith.

God’s Will is not an itinerary but an attitude.

God’s way becomes clear when we start walking in it.

What It Really Means to Love God | Loving Others Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

It almost goes without saying but successful chefs have to spend time cooking. Successful ballerinas have to dance. Successful photographers have to take pictures. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out successful believers are those who love. The more love characterizes our lives, the more successful we’ll be in so many other areas of the Christian walk. And that’s our goal today – to show our love for God by loving others. Glad you’re along.

The Church: A Place to Call Home | Getting to Work Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Employment agencies work with two different types of people: those who need an employee, and those who need a job. The agency’s goal is to help those people find each other. Well, God has given us spiritual gifts . . . and He also has some work for us to do that’s divinely-designed to make use of those gifts. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us find “gainful employment” of those miraculous gifts God has entrusted to us. There’s a job to be done . . . time to get to work.
