Faith 101 | Fighting Victoriously Mar 01, 2024

Show notes

If there’s a war raging, and someone mistakenly stumbles into the middle of it, the warriors don’t suddenly stop and say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, fellas, this guy isn’t part of it. Let’s wait ‘til he gets outta the way.’ No people who stumble into battle unaware often get caught in the crossfire. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie wants to make sure that doesn’t happen to us. He points out that we’re surrounded by spiritual warfare, and we need to be prepared to fight, and fight victoriously.

Faith 101 | Back to Basics Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

A pilot said, “the basics of aviation are really quite simple. You push the control stick forward and the houses get real big; you pull it back and the houses get real small.” But imagine if a pilot did lose track of the basics—can’t remember what those switches do, or even why they’re important. Well, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us with a refresher course on the basics of the Christian faith. It’s a good reminder of the fundamentals that’ll keep us all from crashing and burning.

Precious in His Sight | Taking a Stand Feb 28, 2024

For every 1,000 live births in the U.S., there are 195 abortions. Nearly 20%. Think about that. Since 1973, more than 63 million unborn children never got the chance to live their lives. That’s more than the current population of 26 U.S. states combined. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses that heartbreaking reality, and the need to take a stand.

What to Do When the Odds Are Against You | God's Provision Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

Sometimes we may think that our effort, by itself, does count for much. Maybe we’re the only believer in our family . . . or the only Christian at work . . . or the only one in our group of friends at school. The odds are against us. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to one of the most encouraging stories in the Old Testament. We’ll catch up with a military leader about to fight a battle, when God told him to send most of his army home so that God alone would get credit for the victory.

How to Be Happy, Part 1 | Sunday Message Feb 25, 2024

Show notes

Some people look for happiness in relationships, money, or shopping. Where do you look? Hint: If it's not to God, that's the wrong place! Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us that true happiness can only be found in a relationship with our Creator.

Notes:

"God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself because it's not there." —C. S. Lewis

Happiness comes from who you know, not what you have.

"...Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord" —Psalm 144:15

The Christian faith is a happy faith.

God wants you to be happy, contrary to popular belief.

Angels brought good news that brings joy (Luke 2:10).

God Himself is happy.

Christians will still face tragedy.

God's definition of happiness is different than ours.

Biblical world-view: The Bible should change the way you see things.

Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1). Jesus gave it to His disciples, not the multitudes; only Christians can live by this sermon.

First 4 beatitudes deal with our relationship with God, the other 4 deal with our relationships with others.

Blessed = happy.

Read Matthew 5:2–9.

Point #1: God wants you to be blessed and happy.

Point #2: Happy people are humble people.

Point #3: Happy people are "unhappy people."

Point #4: A happy person will be a meek person.

Point #5: A happy person passionately desires a righteous life.

The only way to be a happy person is to know God. Not by chasing happiness, but by knowing God.

Give Me This Mountain | All In Feb 23, 2024

Show notes

During Jesus’ earthly ministry, He didn’t restore sight to just one eye. He didn’t feed most of the 5,000. He didn’t calm the storm on only half the Sea of Galilee. And He didn’t give part of His life on the cross to pay for some of our sins. As someone has said, “Sin had left a crimson stain, and He didn’t wash it light pink.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how Jesus gave His all . . . and the only appropriate response is from us is to give our all.

Ever been caught in gridlock? Maybe you’re trying to get out of the parking lot of a large sporting event. You’re stuck. You can go forward, you can’t back up, you can’t go to the right or the left. Only thing you can do is...look up. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to a time of challenge in the history of the Israelites. They needed help. They were stuck.
