Ever had your car break down out in the middle of nowhere . . . scorching heat . . . no cell service . . . no other cars to stop and help . . . no friendly, little farmhouse beckoning you in the distance? Crisis compounded by solitude. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, we never have to face our challenges by ourselves. We’ll learn to reach out to the Lord in our times of need, and that He’s our anchor when we’re feeling helpless and hopeless. Good encouragement is coming your way.

A biblical case for just how evil Judas actually was.

Jesus and the Pretender | Sunday Message

We’ve all been wounded by something someone said to us. And, if we’re candid, we’d probably all admit we’ve said some things that may have hurt someone else. Once those careless words leave our mouths, there’s just no getting them back. How can we control our tongues . . . how can we keep that tiger in the cage? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to some specific counsel in the book of James.

Talk This Way | How to Prevent Using Hurtful Words

Some people bake a double batch of cookies and then wonder why they’re tempted to eat sweets. Some make sure their new car has a supercharged-mega-hemi-turbo-GT engine and wonder why the police seem to be handing out more speeding tickets. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us take an honest look at temptation and how we often set ourselves up for the fall. We’ll learn to recalibrate and set ourselves up for more success, and more satisfaction.
