Listen in as Pastor Jonathan Laurie reveals three ways to overcome discouragement from the life of the apostle Paul. Notes Paul was a man of conviction and character; he was in submission to his Lord Jesus.  Paul was the right man for the job.  Paul had grit. He was unwavering.  How to overcome discouragement: Obedience  Serving others Sharing our hope God’s revealed will is found in scripture:  It is not if we will suffer, but when we will suffer.  It is also what we will do with our sufferings.  The greatest thing we can do with our suffering is to use it for God’s glory.  Paul served people because Jesus laid that foundation.  Paul went from a persecutor of the church to being persecuted for the church.  “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thou

When you’re on the road, every once in a while you may see an unusual speed limit sign. Most mention the maximum speed. But a few post the minimum. Why is that? Because if you fall below the minimum, you’re in danger. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us realize the danger of falling below the minimum in our walk with the Lord. Instead, we’ll focus on giving our all, and hoping to hear those words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” View and subscribe to Pastor Greg’s weekly notes. --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

Many pastors are asked a variation of one particular question. Can I do such-and-such and still be a Christian? It’s never “can I tithe and still be a Christian?” It’s always something questionable, or clearly sinful. Essentially, it’s asking, “Can I give my all to Jesus but hold this one thing back?” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie presents the flip side of that coin. We’ll see a New Testament story of a woman who gave it all for the Lord, including a most precious possession.

Some people will share their pain with anyone. . . a friend, a bartender, the checker at the supermarket, a wrong number who calls their phone. Other people keep all that pain locked away inside the aching chambers of their heart. What’s the best way to deal with those calamities?

Humans tend to be impatient by nature. And technology has made it worse. We can’t a week to receive a letter anymore. Send a fax? No, nobody does that either. Too slow. Send an e-mail. Better yet, a text. And make sure you abbreviate every word you can, LOL. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that we need to have the opposite mindset in our relationship with God. We need to wait onGod’s timing, and trust that His timing is divinely perfect. View and subscribe to Pastor Greg’s weekly notes. --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

During a recent hurricane, limits on prescription refills were suspended so people had enough medicine to get them through the storm and any aftermath. So important was that medication, they got creative in making sure it was available. Well, as believers, we have a remedy for a deadly disease: the disease of sin. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says we need to get creative in delivering that remedy to the people who need it. Some good counsel today on how to do that.

God wants us to have a successful finish and part of that means helping Him reach those around us. Listen in as Pastor Greg Laurie explores Acts 19 and 20 to share “running tips” from the apostle Paul! Notes God used Paul powerfully, and miracles were happening! Whenever God is at work, the devil will be there to oppose. Satan is real and powerful. Jesus is much more powerful than Satan. The best defense is a good offense. Paul compares himself to a runner in a race (1 Corinthians 9:24). Paul warned to not “get off track.” Paul warned against looking back. Paul wanted to "finish his race with joy." It is a joyful thing to know and walk with God. We need to “play by the rules.” Paul compared himself to a steward. Everything we have has been given to us by God. Paul compared himself to a witness. Paul compared himself to a herald.  Paul compared himself to a watchman. We all have 3 things to give to God: Our talent Our treasure Our time We are to be: Runners Stewards

It’s no mistake that the words disciple and discipline are related. Those who truly follow the Lord wholeheartedly – genuine disciples – may often feel the loving Hand of correction when they stray. Disciples are sometimes disciplined. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that discipline may sometimes be perceived as suffering. And we may ask God why we’re facing that pain. But Pastor Greg points out that suffering can be an effective way for God to guide us.

When you take your young child to the doctor to get a shot, you know it’s going to cause them some pain.

Ever wonder why the stars glow at night? No, not the scientific reason. Why did God make them visible to us, even though some are thousands of light years away? Maybe it’s a message. If He can create a universe that’s bigger than we can imagine, maybe He can solve a problem that’s bigger than we can handle. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us look at God’s power and His love . . . they’re demonstrated in how He sent His Son to save us from our sins.

God had an important message to deliver to mankind. He was surrounded by heavenly messengers, called angels. But He had a different plan. He could have written His message across the sky, or fashioned creation itself to reveal His words. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, instead, God chose to deliver the message Himself, clothed in humanity, born as a baby. Today, we’ll look at the message, and the God-man who was born in a manger. View and subscribe to Pastor Greg’s weekly notes. --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

Having a community of believers to surround you will support you in your walk and give you the opportunity to support others as well. In a special Sunday episode, Pastor Jonathan Laurie gives us a model of what a gospel partnership really looks like. Notes Priscilla and Aquila were ordinary people who made a profound impact. To be “Corinthianized” meant to be morally corrupt to the extreme. Priscilla and Aquila were missionaries, evangelists, teachers, and friends to the church. Priscilla and Aquila built their life upon the rock-solid foundation of Jesus Christ. Hope comes from being in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Priscilla and Aquila had spiritual community. Don’t underestimate just how much Christian fellowship through a small group, “koinonia,” can change your life. Salvation comes by faith in what Christ did on the cross. “The path to public success is always paved with private discipline.” —Craig Groeschel A fake salvation, a fake faith, a fake relat

Pastor Greg Laurie sits down with Austin Carlile, former vocalist from Of Mice & Men about his journey to faith. Austin recounts the years he spent running away from God and how he came into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Although he was raised by Christian parents, Austin Carlile grew angry with God after his mother’s death and pursued satisfaction in a music career. Having spent years in the band Of Mice & Men, Austin Carlile had it all: money, fame, and a fast lifestyle. He performed alongside Kanye West, Linkin Park, Avenged Sevenfold, and others, but inside he had a hole in his heart that only God could fill. Diagnosed with Marfan syndrome and undergoing many surgeries, Austin had to turn to the one person who could save him: Jesus Christ.  God had a plan for Austin's life, and He has a plan for your life.

Author Max Lucado has pointed out that a car’s windshield is a lot bigger than the rearview mirror, because we need to focus on where we’re going, not where we’ve been. Too many of us want to drag our past failures right into our present. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us break from the sins of our past, and focus on finishing our lives well. It’s the final instalment today in Pastor Greg’s encouraging series in Philippians . . . a series simply called Happiness.

As a rule, people don’t walk much anymore. Oh, some might do a couple of miles on the treadmill at the gym, but they drove three laps around the parking lot to get the closest parking space. In biblical times, everybody walked . . . a lot! And running? Well, that was the speeding they did when they were late for work. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how Paul the Apostle offers counsel on how we can run the race of life with endurance, and how we can run to win.
