Revival Starts Here | Sunday Message

1/12/2025
Only a true revival can heal America—and we can all play a part in it. Notes: Focus verse: Nehemiah 1 As Christians, we want to see America godly again! Nehemiah is about restoring a nation’s heart to God. A true revival can heal our land and make it godly again. Revival is restoration. It’s coming back to life. It’s waking up spiritually and getting back to living the Christian life. Your spiritual house can be rebuilt. You can go from rubble to revival. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Acts 17:26 Nehemiah was the cupbearer to the king. He had to have the greatest discretion, loyalty, and honesty. Revelation 2:5 Read Nehemiah 1:1–3 Nehemiah was deeply moved. Read Nehemiah 1:4–7 #1 Nehemiah acknowledged the greatness of God. Nehemiah 1:5 When we see God in His greatness, we see our problems in their smallness. #2 Nehemiah reminded God of His promises. A. God will never leave you alone in life. Isaiah 41:10 B. God will get you through whatever you are facing. C. God will provide for your needs. Philippians 4:19 D. God will forgive you of your sins. 1 John 1:9 #3 Nehemiah confessed his personal sin. Nehemiah 1:7 Sometimes, prayer changes you and you change things. Nehemiah did not talk about prayer, he just prayed. Nehemiah 1:6 Call out to God. He will give you direction. Jeremiah 33:3 #4 Nehemiah’s request was specific. Nehemiah 1:10–11 Let’s ask God for a spiritual awakening in America. Let’s start with our personal lives and our homes. Everybody plays a part. Nehemiah 7:3 --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org. This podcast is supported by the generosity of our Harvest Partners.

Violence & Sex | Cleaning Out the Mind

1/10/2025
If there’s some liquid left in the bottom of a drinking glass – milk, juice, soft drink – what’s the first thing we do to get it clean. Rinse it out, right? Run some water in it and flush it clean. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that same approach works well with all the stuff that needs to be cleaned out of our minds. We’ll see how to wash it clean with a renewed mind and a renewed passion to draw closer to the Lord. It’s one of the most requested messages of the past year.

Violence & Sex | Responding to Hatred in Our Culture

1/9/2025
The Bible tells us God is love. Yes, He’s loving, but First John 4:8 says God IS love. And it says, “He who does not love does not know God . . .” So it should come as no surprise that hatred is not a part of God’s plan for believers. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses the hatred we see around us in our culture. What are we as believers to do? Good insight is coming. And a word to parents – the content of today’s study may be a little too strong for younger ears.

The Family Matters | Teaching Faith

1/8/2025
Teaching our children to walk and talk is not usually intimidating. Teaching them to tie a shoe or pedal a bike is in our comfort zone.

The Family Matters | Back to God’s Design

1/7/2025
The cultural definition of a family is quite broad and all-encompassing. It’s proudly inclusive. But when we get creative with what a family is, we get creative with how a family works. And if we get too creative, maybe it’s time to consult the Creator. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie gets us back to bedrock truth as laid out in God’s timeless Word. We’ll go back to the 10 Commandments and discuss how to honor God’s design for how homes can function best.

What's the Big Deal with God's Name? | The Commandment Against Misusing His Name

1/3/2025
God Almighty is worthy of all glory and honor. We’re mere men and women under the umbrella of His divine authority. So how inappropriate is it to express some kind of disrespect or dishonor to God on high? It’s almost a question that doesn’t need to be asked. Yet so many dishonor the Lord by using His name inappropriately. Does it bother God?

No Other Gods | Atomic Time vs. God's Word

What time is it? No, really. What’s the exact time? How do we know what the exact time is? Maybe your clock is a few seconds different from mine. The defacto standard is International Atomic Time, a weighted average of time kept by over 400 atomic clocks in 50 laboratories worldwide. That’s the source that’s trustworthy. When it comes to right and wrong, Pastor Greg Laurie says the trustworthy standard is God’s Word. And we’ll consult that standard today on A NEW BEGINNING.

Never Say Never | Sunday Message

12/29/2024
Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us to say to God, "Not my will, but Yours." Notes Our marching orders are clear: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel, making disciples of all nations.” God can and will be found by the true seeker. This was not about food but people, people that God happened to love. It’s time to stop dividing and start uniting. We too can be hard and angry toward people who have hurt us in life. Take the gospel message to the people who have mistreated you. “Everything in life is preparation for something else.” —Pastor Chuck Smith Maybe certain things have happened to you that mystify you … remember, God is in control and the “steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.” Never say never! Never be afraid to commit an unknown future to a known God. Before Jesus prayed “if it is possible, let this cup pass from me,” He said, “Abba Father, all things are possible for You” (Mark 14:36). We are not childish but childlike; open to and dependent on God without embarrassment. No life is an unfinished life. Even if it’s a short life, if it’s lived for God’s glory, it’s still a success. Not my will, but Yours be done! If we believe in the providence of God, we know that the Lord is in control of all things. If we are a true Christian, we do not have the liberty of saying, “never, Lord!” Who is God calling you to reach out to right now? God has prepared you to bring the gospel to other people. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you! Invest in evangelism in 2025! --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
