Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

Why Do Christians Have to Suffer? | When Life Gets Hard

Have you ever seen your child face something pretty tough? Maybe it was an important medical procedure that was quite painful. You knew it was necessary and helpful in the long term, but your child just focused on the suffering. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us trust our Heavenly Father to know what’s best – even when there’s pain in the present. We’ll learn the encouragement that comes when we focus on the future benefit, and the present presence of God in our lives.

Why Do Christians Have to Suffer? | When Life Hurts

Throughout the Gospel of Luke, people heard Jesus teach, watched Him perform miracles, and saw firsthand who He was. But again and again, they were faced with a deeper question: Would they actually follow Him?

Pastor Jonathan Laurie looks at how Pilate, Herod, and Barabbas each had very different reactions when they encountered Jesus Christ face-to-face.

Close Encounters | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)

Boomers: When was the last time you invited a young person into your life? There's an entire generation—Gen Z—out their waiting to be seen, looking for godly mentors, hoping to find someone who can guide them in life and faith... Yet the older generation isn't doing their part in inviting them in! 

Greg Laurie talks with Ruslan KD on Gen Z's spiritual hunger, what makes them unique, and their real need for direction from those seasoned in life—even recalling a defining moment in his own youth when an older man invited him to dinner. 

Listen to the full conversation on The Greg Laurie Show, where you'll hear more on Gen Z and other topics.
