Fame, money, and success. Celebrities seem to have it all, so why do we tragically keep hearing the same story?

What Happens When Christians Pray Together | Talking with God

Ever lose your electricity at home? It’s surprising how much we depend on it. We know the power’s out but, when we walk into a room, what do we automatically reach for? The light switch. Muscle memory. We take that connection for granted. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the connection we each have with God through prayer. And when we ignore that connection, it starts to feel like the lights are out in our faith. Good encouragement coming from the book of Acts today.

What Happens When Christians Pray Together | The Lifeline of Prayer

Have you ever been to an auction, or seen one on TV . . . maybe classic cars . . . or farm animals. As you’re sitting there, you have to be very quiet and very still. You scratch your head at the wrong moment and you’ll suddenly own a 1500 lb Texas Longhorn! (Sfx) Today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’ll see we need to be careful in our speech and attitude toward the Lord. Pastor Greg Laurie points out how our behavior should draw people to the Lord, not stand in the way of that decision.
