How to Overcome Your Giants | Trusting God with Our Biggest Problems Nov 19, 2024

Show notes

God has never encountered a problem or a crisis too big for Him to handle. He’s never said, “Uh-oh.” So when we encounter something we can’t handle, we need to look to our God who can handle anything. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie returns to our studies of the life of David, we’ll see what happened when David faced a giant-sized problem. It’s a familiar story, but sometimes we miss the practical application. That’s Pastor Greg’s focus as we begin today’s study.

The Man After God's Heart | Imperfect People, Remarkable Purpose Nov 18, 2024

Show notes

Some tend to think that God only uses perfect people . . . people with no blindspots, no failings, no shortcomings. But the more we study the Bible, the more we see how God used imperfect people to do remarkable things for His Kingdom. How can we be the kind of person God is looking for? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that today here on A NEW BEGINNING as we examine the life of a great leader of Israel who God chose personally, over and above other candidates who appeared more impressive.

Jesus and the Outcast | Sunday Message Nov 17, 2024

Show notes

As a tax collector, Matthew was one of society's most looked down upon. But Jesus still called him to be His follower.

Notes:
Focus verse: Luke 5:27–32
#1 Jesus sees Matthew.
Luke 5:27
Theaomai means to have an intent look at something, to take something in with one’s eyes, with implication that one is especially impressed, see, look at, behold.
#2 Jesus sees you.
2 Chronicles 16:9
The acceptance and inclusion of Matthew is a picture of the redeeming power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Jesus knows your story and He knows your potential.
#3 Jesus calls us to see others.
Luke 5:29–32
Jesus meets you where you are.
82% of non-believers would go to church if they were invited by a friend or family member.
The miracle is that God called that person to Himself, and you were able to be an instrument in His hand.
Jesus sees you.
Jesus says, “Follow Me, and be My disciple.”

The Man After God's Heart | What Truly Matters Nov 15, 2024

Show notes

We see the social media posts of certain friends and marvel at how great their life is. Lunch on the beach in Cabo. Sipping a hot chocolate in a ski chalet in Aspen. Social media has become a collection of highlight reels – because people want to look good. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out God follows you . . . no, not on social media, in real life. And He’s most impressed by the things that would never show up in a highlight reel.

Angels and Demons | Exposing the Scams of Satan Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

Ever been the target of a scam? Many of us have, some without even realizing it. None of the scammers admit they’re trying to rip you off. They play upon your fear . . . or your kindness. They find a weakness or a vulnerability. Satan is like that, only he’s been practicing a lot longer. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie warns us about his tactics and strategies. We’re each in his crosshairs, but as believers we’re under the protection of The Cross.

Angels and Demons | The Realities Beyond Fiction Nov 13, 2024

Show notes

What do most people know about angels? Chances are they don’t know a lot, and what they do know comes from movies, or TV programs or . . . cartoons! That’s just fiction . . . make believe. But it would be a mistake to just throw out the concept of angels altogether. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that angels are real, and they’re an important part of the plan of God. But we’ll see not all angels are “the good guys.” Reliable biblical insight is coming your way today.

The Hope of the Church | Seeking True Change Beyond Politics Nov 11, 2024

Show notes

We’ve made it through another election season. Not that we needed a reminder. Some people are hopeful about the future, others are deeply concerned. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that Washington can’t fix what’s wrong with our country. It tends to make things worse. What’s needed is a return to God. And that doesn’t come by way of a ballot. Today, Pastor Greg takes us to the Gospel of Matthew for his message “The Hope of the Church.”
