Hope for Prodigal Children | They Can Escape Your Presence, But Not Your Prayers Nov 01, 2024

Show notes

A 17th century poet once said, “Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories.” Child-rearing is one of the most humbling things a confident parent can undertake. Kids have minds of their own. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings hope for parents of prodigals . . . and later in today’s message, Pastor Greg’s son, Jonathan, recounts his years of rebellion, and how he came back home.

Hope for Hurting Marriages, Part 1 | A Physical Union with a Spiritual Meaning Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

Wedding experts say some of today’s brides and grooms avoid what they call the “death vow” – “til death do us part.” “Why make a promise you can’t keep?” they say.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie offers hope for marriages headed in the wrong direction—hope that’ll will restore them to God’s plan.

Hope for Hurting Marriages, Part 1 | The Power of Commitment in Marriage Oct 25, 2024

Show notes

A noted author of children’s books said, “One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again.” It’s true that relationships heat up and cool down over time. But marriage is the constant commitment that remains in place through it all . . . or should be. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to honor this commitment between a man and a woman and their God.
