Scour the TV listings from front to back and you’ll have a hard time finding a series that extols the virtues of traditional families. Long gone are the Father Knows Best kinds of TV shows.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us get back to God’s plan for the home . . . a plan for the family that He designed when He designed the family.

We’ve all had experience putting our best foot forward. A first date. A job interview. We let people see the best side of ourselves. Is it who we are? Well, some version of who we are.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie urges us to consider the genuineness of our faith and walk with God. We’ll learn how to put our best foot forward toward eternity.

In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie gives us encouragement perfect for the New Year with a message titled, “Happiness: Where to Find It.” Most people deep down inside want to be happy. It’s even in our Declaration of Independence that in the United States of America we want to be happy. Even those who say they don’t want to be happy, and want to be unhappy, find a certain happiness in their unhappiness. You may be surprised to know that God wired you to want to be happy, and according to the Bible, you can be happy—you should be happy. But you just need to look for it in the right place. Here are a few places not to look for happiness. Being beautiful or handsome will not bring personal happiness. Sometimes people think, “If I was as handsome or beautiful as the people that I see in magazines or as the movie stars, I’d be happy.” We’re always trying to look our best with surgery, airbrushing, Photoshop, Instagram filters, and other enhancements. But there will always be someone more attractive, and ph

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 that, 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. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

One of the most positive things people can say about us is that we’re “followers” of Jesus Christ. It means we’re willing to follow His lead, we’re active in our belief, we’ve put feet to our faith. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to Revelation 13 where we learn about a group of exactly 144,000 “followers” of Jesus. A group recorded for time and eternity in Scripture. We’ll see what makes them unique, and learn to follow in their footsteps. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

Our minds come with built-in baloney filters. We hear something that’s too good to be true and we think, “baloney.” The trouble is, our adversary has some pretty sneaky ways of dressing up lies to look like the truth. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us tune up our spiritual discernment so we can spot the lies as they escape from the Devil’s mouth. It’s an important study, and one of the messages our listeners requested the most over the past 12 months. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org.

Some might think a cashless society might be kind of handy—just scan and scoot. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the mark represents allegiance to the Antichrist! It’s something far more consequential than an alternate form of identification. In effect, it identifies us with the powers of darkness. It’s a hard-hitting message, and one of the studies our listeners requested the most over the past 12 months. We’re kicking off our series of top 10 messages today.

Not even Jesus’ family was a perfect one—but that shouldn’t be a shock. Instead, it should be a reminder that Jesus came to save. Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see God's grace in action and connect what we learn to the story of Christmas. Pastor Greg's Christmas message LIVE Notes God gives second chances! Read: Matthew 1:1–7, 15–16 Jesus’ story is not about God helping perfect people but saving lost people. In this genealogy, which is really a key part of the Christmas story, we have God, in His mercy, doing for sinners what they can’t do for themselves. Reminding us that Jesus came to heal broken lives and restore shattered hopes. David Matthew 1:1 Luke 1:32 Tamar Matthew 1:3 Rehab Ruth Bathsheba Mary Matthew 1:16 Read: Luke 1:26–29 “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” —Luke 1:28 Mary was troubled, or literally agitated. A truly spiritual person will not boast of their accomplishments. The more spiritual you are, the more aware you will become of your own sinfulnes

Tough trials can bring us to our knees. But no doubt the most disheartening time to face those challenges is here at Christmas time. It’s a time to deck the halls, not to be sidelined and feel all alone. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie wants you to know, you’re NOT alone. We’ll see that, within the biblical story of the birth of Christ, is found a promise of His presence in our lives. It’s a promise we can cling to today, through the weekend, and into the coming year!

We think of Christmas as a season of togetherness . . . family, friends, fellowship. But real life never quite looks like the greeting cards. Maybe a loved one has passed, or someone has let us down. We may have lost a job, or lost our good health. It’s the toughest time of the year for heartache and disappointment. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie has a message of hope and reassurance. No matter what’s going on in your life, be assured that you are not alone.

If you follow many of the discussion threads on social media, they often follow a pattern. A suggestion . . . a counter suggestion . . . disagreement . . . rude disagreement . . . personal attack . . . intense, caustic tirade . . . and we close the page uttering something about humanity being doomed. It’s probably a good idea to get our input from a higher source. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points to our Wonderful Counselor.

So many of us are thinking, “How am I gonna get all this stuff done?” It’s probably the holiday that requires the most planning and preparation . . . preparation that has so little to do with the reason for the season. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie contrasts this Christmas with the first Christmas, and points out the joy of this season if we can refocus . . . not on all the things not yet done, but on the finished work of Christ—born in the manger, who died on the cross.

The Christmas holiday focuses a great deal on a birth—a special birth, to be sure. But the reason for Jesus’ birth was ultimately for our re-birth. To miss that element is to miss the message of Christmas itself. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us consider the gift of God’s Son, and how his payment years later at Calvary made it possible for us to be reborn as children of God.

In this classic interview, Pastor Greg Laurie speaks with author and speaker Joni Eareckson Tada about God’s sovereignty—and why He permits suffering in this world. What follows is a classic conversation that touches on Christmas, Heaven, and how we can glorify God in our broken bodies. You'll learn about the grace and amazing nature of God, and how He can and does work everything out for good to those who serve Him.

Joni shares the words that changed her perspective on everything: “God permits what He hates to accomplish that which He loves.” Joni Eareckson Tada is an esteemed Christian stateswoman and respected global leader in disability advocacy. Although a 1967 diving accident left her a quadriplegic, she emerged from rehabilitation with a determination to help others with similar disabilities. Mrs. Tada serves as CEO of Joni and Friends, a Christian organization which

Many students wait until the night before to study for a test. The adrenaline makes them razor sharp—or so they say. But then they also hope for a little good luck when the test is handed out. Well, someone has pointed out luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Now, as believers, we don’t depend on luck, we depend on the Lord, but today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows the wisdom in letting preparation meet opportunity as it relates to the fiery trials we may all face.
