Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

As we wait on Jesus' return, Christians are not to be still, but to go about the business God's assigned. If Jesus came back right now and asked "What have you done with what I've given you?" what would be your honest answer? It's not too late to start doing more!

In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie opens Scripture and points us in a proactive, rather than inactive, direction.

"If we're too busy using our sickles on each other, we'll miss the harvest." —Vance Havner

In this episode, Pastor Greg Laurie recounts an experience at a Mexican restaurant where he realized: The happiest Christian are evangelistic. And the unhappiest are too busy arguing to notice the opportunities right in front of them!

They often say values are caught more than taught. We can proclaim “do as I say not as I do” all day long, but we have to go the way in order to show the way. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings good encouragement for dads. Pastor Greg brings some deeply personal insights today from his own life . . . growing up without a dad, for the most part, but learning how to draw from Scripture and from other positive role models around him.

We all have a Father we can look up to. Even if the man we called dad was a disappointment, or abusive, or just less than loving, we have a Father in heaven who loves us. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, even if we never knew our earthly father, God is there for us. How does Pastor Greg know? From first-hand experience. Today he brings us a powerful message called, How to Be a Father When You are Fatherless.

“If I had only known.” It’s a sentence filled with regret. “If I had only known that would be the last time I’d see my mom.” “If I’d only known the house wasn’t safe to live in . . . or, the water wasn’t safe to drink, or the car wasn’t safe to drive.” Many may have a similar regret when they one day stand before the Lord. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us face to face with the regret that enveloped a certain Old Testament king. It serves as a strong warning to all of us.

...

Be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. That was an exhortation from the Apostle Paul in First Corinthians. We DO the work of the Lord, and we’re to BE steadfast and immovable. When the winds of change blow through our culture, we’re to be solid as a rock. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to do that as we consider a man who showed us how NOT to do that. We’re considering an epic failure in the Old Testament.

A ship’s captain approaching a foggy seaport will navigate based on the light from the lighthouse, not from the light of other boats. Boats drift, lighthouses stand secure. Do we navigate the life of faith based on the conduct of other believers, or based on the One we believe in? What’s the hymn say, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie help us put that objective into practice.

Many of us are carrying burdens God never intended us to carry. We carry worry, fear, anxiety, guilt, and more. Prayer is God's invitation to transfer those burdens from our shoulders to His. The Bible says “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). Prayer is not informing God of something He doesn't know. Prayer is inviting God into something we can't handle.

How do you pass along the cold, hard truth and a warm and loving way? Is it in the words we choose . . . the body language we present . . . the context in which it’s expressed? Yes, yes and yes. But more than that, today Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it comes from a heart of genuine compassion and concern, energized by God’s love. Today here on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg begins the final message in his series in First, Second and Third John.

Not many people come into the Kingdom because they were sufficiently brow-beaten by someone sharing their faith. Few have surrendered to Christianity simply because they lost a fiery religious debate. The Bible tells us “His kindness leads us to repentance.” God’s love can soften the hardest of hearts. God’s mercy beckons those who’ve lost their way. And coming up today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn to put the Lord’s compassion into practice.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, right? We’ve seen the headlines: People getting duped by smooth talkers, shady deals, and empty promises. But some of the most dangerous scams aren’t financial . . . they’re spiritual. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us spot the fakes and hold fast to the truth. From Ivy League mission statements, to wolves in sheep’s clothing, it’s a revealing look at deception in the last days, and the hope we have in Christ.

Many of us remember our most embarrassing moment. Maybe we said something we shouldn’t have . . . or did something we shouldn’t have. It may have been silly or something serious but we remember everything about that moment. Sometimes our sin can be like that. We know the Lord has forgiven us, but we’re not too sure we’ve forgiven us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see just how complete the Lord’s forgiveness is. It’s just as if it never happened.

Our spiritual adversary has been at war with believers for a long time. Thousands of years, in fact. He knows how to trip us up . . . and sadly, admittedly, he’s pretty good at it. So how do we stand strong? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to the battle-tested truth of God’s Word. The good news? We’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from victory. God has already won, and He’s equipped us to stand our ground.

When we pack for a vacation or trip to a different place, it’s important to bring the right kind of stuff. If you're going to Tahiti, you'll want to pack more shorts, light-colored clothes, and swim gear! If you’re going to the snowy mountains, then lots and lots of layers will fill your suitcase.

But what about the place we'll all go if we trust in Jesus—what do we bring on our trip to Heaven? Tune in now to see how we should be preparing for Heaven.

It’s become more and more difficult to distinguish the genuine from the counterfeit. A.I. has us all scratching our heads and wondering whether we should believe what we see. But the father of fakery is none other than our spiritual adversary. He’s referred to as the Great Deceiver. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us spot his deceptions, and stop his influence in our lives. It’s part of his encouraging series in First John . . . a series called Unshakeable.

If you really believed Jesus could come back at any moment, would it change how you live today? That’s what Pastor Greg Laurie explores on this edition of A NEW BEGINNING. It’s not about guessing dates or decoding headlines, it’s about being ready. Pastor Greg offers some fresh perspective, and a helpful reminder that Jesus isn’t coming back for a perfect person, just a prepared one. So open your Bible, and join us for a hopeful look at the signs of the times.

Every time something huge happens in the world, people start asking, “Wait… is this it? Is Armageddon about to begin?” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie examines what the Bible actually says about the End Times, and why we don’t need to panic. God’s not caught off guard by any of this. He’s had a plan from the very start. And that plan includes you . . . your peace, your hope, and your future. It’s a reassuring reminder you don’t want to miss.

For years, dry cleaners have used strong chemicals to remove tough stains from delicate fabrics. Things like perchloroethylene, DF2000 and liquid silicone. And usually, the stain goes away. But what do we do with the stain of sin . . . the stain that’s evident on every human heart. “What can wash away my sin – nothing but the blood of Jesus.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the Lord can wash our sins as white as snow.

The time to buy a fire extinguisher is before a fire starts. The right time to put on your seatbelt? When you first get in – before the car accident. The time to prepare for a crisis? When things in your life seem just fine. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us strengthen our faith for those seasons when our passion has faded and our spiritual tank has run dry. It's in those moments we realize how much we need a good, strong spiritual foundation.

Luke 17

God gives us biblical principles to free us from our three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil.
 
The freedom that the world offers is slavery.

Your Influence Is Never Neutral.

When we give someone a birthday gift, we don’t ask them to give it back when they disappoint us. Well, God doesn’t revoke the gift of eternal life when we do something that displeases Him. Our salvation was purchased at Calvary . . . and that purchase was final. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we can rest in the finished work of our salvation, but then set our minds on moving forward in our walk of faith. It’s good encouragement for good times and bad.

Ever let your phone battery run down to almost nothing? You think you’re fine . . . until suddenly the screen goes dark and you’re desperate for a charger. It’s easy to neglect our faith the same way and soon we feel spiritually drained and like we’re running on empty. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us stay charged and connected for the long haul. No more running on “low power mode” when we have a full-power calling from our God.

Life can be like tending a garden. What we water grows. If we spend all our time feeding worry, pleasure, and listening to the voice of our adversary, we shouldn’t be surprised when weeds take over. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus our attention carefully. The voices we listen to are like seeds. Some bring peace, others just bring pests. At some point, we’ve gotta ask: are we planting the right crop, or just giving the weeds a comfy home?

Imagine assembling a complicated piece of furniture without the instructions. You wind up with extra screws, a wobbly chair, and maybe a bruised ego. That’s a good picture of life without the Bible! God’s Word is our instruction manual, keeping us from poor decisions and the Devil’s smooth sales pitches. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows how to build a life where the pieces fit together, because they all came straight from the Manufacturer.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says GPS-related navigation errors lead to over 200,000 car accidents annually in the U.S. alone. Many drivers blindly followed GPS instructions right straight into trouble. Spiritually speaking, that’s what happens when we listen to the Devil. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, our adversary’s temptations sound appealing, but they’re deadly. Let’s recalculate our route.

Everyone will die and enter the afterlife.

Ever try to move a couch all by yourself? Oh boy. Suddenly it’s jammed in the doorway, you’re wedged in with it, and it feels like you’re stuck in a sitcom. But if a few friends help out, no one has to lose their sanity. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to a great biblical example of teamwork. Nehemiah wants to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem, but he faces serious challenges. Pastor Greg picks up at Nehemiah chapter 2, verse 11.

Do you ever sit in your car with the engine running but haven’t yet put it in drive? You can pray for direction all day, but at some point, you’ve got to step on the gas. Pastor Greg Laurie says our Christian walk is like that. There’s a time to be still and trust, but there’s also a time to move. Maybe God is calling you to take action, just like He did with Nehemiah. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, good encouragement about stepping up and moving forward in our walk of faith.

Ever carry too many grocery bags at once thinking you can handle it, and then . . . aah! . . . one bag breaks, another slips out of your hands, and everything’s on the ground? In life, we try to hold it all together, but sometimes it’s just too much. Maybe you’re facing a crisis, a tragedy, or just feeling overwhelmed. God is there, ready to help you pick up the pieces. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie finds encouragement from a familiar Old Testament story.

A musical instrument sounds beautiful when it’s in tune, but over time, the strings loosen, and the notes go flat. But with a little attention and the right adjustments, it can be restored to the perfect pitch. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the same is true in our spiritual lives. When we drift out of sync with God, we’re not lost—we just need to be re-tuned. We’re in Nehemiah, learning practical steps to bring our lives back into harmony with God’s plan.

Remember Smokey the Bear? His correct name is Smokey Bear, a fictional spokesperson for the U.S. Forest Service. He’d say, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Yeah, fires can start by one careless person. But when it comes to the fire of revival, that fire can start with one person who does care. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us be that kind of person who let’s God use them to share the love of Christ in a world that needs that message.

Pastor Jonathan Laurie breaks down the story of the prodigal son by spotlighting the older brother—the one who stayed, obeyed, and still missed the father’s heart.  

Notes

Luke 15:11–32 (NKJV)
  
Luke 15:11–24
 
The younger brother rejected the father, rebelled, and pursued pleasure.
 
The son’s request would be unheard of in the first century.
 
The father honors the son’s request.
 
Jesus is painting a picture of a father who maintains his love and endures the agony despite being rejected.
 
We can be like that, too. We w...

In essence, believers are a part of two families. We’re a part of our earthly families, and we’re part of the family of God. There are privileges and responsibilities that go with both.

Pastor Greg Laurie points out how it’s sometimes difficult to share about our faith with our earthly family. Sometimes, one family doesn’t want to hear about the other one. Listen in for good insight on what God expects of us within those most important earthly relationships.

Pastor Greg Laurie has counsel today for husbands (and wives) on undergirding our marriages. “You need to tell them you find them beautiful. You need to tell them you appreciated the meal. You love what they’re doing with the house. You see them being such a great mother to your children. Or whatever it is, you need to be building one another up. Far too often in marriage we tear each other down and we never build each other up.”

Ever found yourself between a rock and a hard place with a home repair project? If you do this, the house catches fire. If you do that, the house falls down. So you call “the guy.” The guy who knows stuff. He comes in and turns the whatchamacallit right side up, and job done. Where can we find that kind of help to turn the rest of our lives right side up? Pastor Greg Laurie answers that today on A NEW BEGINNING. Good encouragement coming our way.
