We all have friends and acquaintances. Some acquaintances may be a friend of a friend, so we don’t know them very well. We may even know a friend of a friend of a friend. . . your next door neighbor’s aunt’s gardener’s sister. God knows each one of us individually. And He wants a close friendship with each of us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how that intimacy forms the bedrock for our redemption, and for the way God cares and provides for us.

Join us on August 16 for the annual Jesus Revolution Baptism, a celebration of new life in Christ at Pirate’s Cove with Pastor Greg Laurie!
