Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

Pastor Greg Laurie tells the little-known story of one of Hollywood's biggest stars.

How Steve McQueen Came to Christ | From the Archives

Disagreement and conflict is almost inevitable in human relationships. When that happens, some people put up their fists . . . others call up their lawyer. Others look up the Proverb that says a soft answer turns away wrath. In the big picture, those moments can either undergird our efforts to share Christ, or undermine them. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us deal with everyone in a spirit of grace and humility. We’re in Acts chapter 15.
