Today on ANEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us solid insight based on the 10Commandments found in Exodus chapter 20. Glad you’re along.

The Family Matters | Sharing Your Faith With Your Kids

The cultural definition of a family is quite broad and all-encompassing. It’s proudly inclusive. But when we get creative with what a family is, we get creative with how a family works. And if we get too creative, maybe it’s time to consult the Creator. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie gets us back to bedrock truth as laid out in God’s timeless Word. We’ll go back to the 10 Commandments and discuss how to honor God’s design for how homes can function best.

The Family Matters | God's Design for the Home

If we follow God’s blueprint for life, our lives will go better. You can depend on that. If we ignore God’s blueprint, our lives will face more challenges and heartache. But sometimes we think we’re the exception . . . or this situation is the exception. The sweet aroma of certain decisions can lead to the stench of bad destinations. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us consider more of the timeless wisdom we find in the 10 Commandments.

What's the Big Deal with God's Name? | God's Blueprint

God Almighty is worthy of all glory and honor. We’re mere men and women under the umbrella of His divine authority. So how inappropriate is it to express some kind of disrespect or dishonor to God on high? It’s almost a question that doesn’t need to be asked. Yet so many dishonor the Lord by using His name inappropriately. Does it bother God? Well, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that transgression is mentioned in God’s top ten list of commandments.

What's the Big Deal with God's Name? | Honoring God's Name

Pastor Greg Laurie starts a new series called, “Joshua: Living in the Land of Promises” with an encouraging message on living a successful Christian life.
New believers tend to be on fire: excited for church, Bible studying, having a healthy prayer life. . . But then a backslide happens: going back to the same sins, neglecting prayer and Bible reading. . . In this message we&#39;ll see how we can put a stop to that.
Notes
Joshua is the story of the end of the wilderness wanderings of the Jewish people.
God promises spiritual rest to those who believe in Him.
Matthew 11:28
Jesus promises eternal life to those who put their faith in Him.
John 4:14
Jesus promises a rich and satisfying life to those who follow Him.
John 10:10
The promises of God are like gift cards; they need to be claimed. God’s promises are exceedingly precious!
For years, the Jewish people had cried out for someone to deliver them from Pharoah—God heard their cries and sent Moses to be that man.
The Lord guided the Jewish people with the ultimate GPS: cloud by day, fire by night.
Just as the Jewish people were slaves in Egypt, we were slaves to sin. Just as they took the Passover lamb and applied the blood to their homes, Jesus was the Passover Lamb slain for us, and we applied His blood in our lives.
“Conversion has made our hearts a battlefield.”
Ephesians 6:12
Satan does not want you to follow Jesus Christ because he knows we are in the End Times.
Revelation 12:12
This is not really a choice of fighting or not fighting; it’s a choice of victory or defeat! In the Christian life, you are either an overcomer or you are overcome.
Exodus 23:30
“I will drive them out a little at a time…”
No addiction needs to control you; no sin needs to have a foothold in your life.
“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.”
They focused their attention on the obstacles instead of their objective. When you focus on the obstacles rather than the objective, fear will always eclipse your faith.
Read: Joshua 1:1–5
To succeed in the spiritual life, you must overcome fear and admit you need help.
Joshua 1:6
“Be strong and of good courage.”
Joshua 1:7
“Be strong and very courageous.”
Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid.”
Joshua 1:5–6
“I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage…”
2 Timothy 1:6–9
To succeed in the spiritual life, you must be consistent.
Our job is to be faithful in our generation.
Acts 13:36
Joshua 1:5
To succeed in the spiritual life, you must know and keep God’s Word.
Joshua 1:8
Meditate means, “to ponder, consider, contemplate.”
Matthew 13:23
You decide what soil you will be!
Matthew 13:23
“They hear and accept God’s Word.”
Success or failure in our lives depends on how we hear God’s Word.
Luke 12:48
The golden key to spiritual growth is hearing, receiving, and obeying the Word of God.
Jesus’ blood was shed for you on the cross!

"10", Part 2: No Other Gods | The Top Ten Instructions From God

We each have to make a decision in our relationship with God. Are we sold out . . . or are we a sell out? Are we sold out for the Lord, where He is number one and we don’t compromise? Or do we allow ourselves to sell out to the world and its lures? We face that question afresh each and every day. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that’s an issue that’s addressed up front in the 10 Commandments, and it’s a decision that affects our quality of life.

Ever driven on a tire that’s out of balance.

What time is it? No, really. What’s the exact time? How do we know what the exact time is? Maybe your clock is a few seconds different from mine. The defacto standard is International Atomic Time, a weighted average of time kept by over 400 atomic clocks in 50 laboratories worldwide. That’s the source that’s trustworthy. When it comes to right and wrong, Pastor Greg Laurie says the trustworthy standard is God’s Word. And we’ll consult that standard today on A NEW BEGINNING.

One of the great tools to memorization is repetition. If we hear something over and over, we can’t help but remember. We didn’t intend to memorize the words to that TV theme, or that corny commercial, but they’re stuck in our heads. Why? Repetition. The real question is, what do we let our minds hear over and over. But the fact you’re listening now is a great step forward. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings some scriptural truth worth remembering.

The Desert Song | Remembering What's Important

Pastor Greg Laurie wraps up our end times series with a look at a modern day miracle and fulfillment of Bible prophecy: the nation Israel. He also focuses on how we should be living as believers waiting for the Lord’s return. 
Notes
Israel will be scattered.
Israel will be regathered.
Israel will regain Jerusalem.
Israel will be isolated.
Israel will be attacked.
 
Jerusalem will be the focal point of End Times events.
 
Jerusalem has been and always will be the Capital of Israel.
 
Israel will be an “intoxicating drink,” “a heavy stone,” “and a burden for the world.”
Zechariah 12:2–3
 
Never has a nation been able to maintain its national identity, even 300–500 years after being removed from its homeland … until Israel!
 
Read: Ezekiel 37:1–6
 
Read: Ezekiel 37:11–14
 
Read: Ezekiel 38:1–11
 
America needs Israel more than Israel needs America!
 
God made a promise to Abraham and his descendants in Genesis 12:3: “I will bless them that bless you, and I will curse those that curse you.”
 
The Lord will send a national revival to Israel where they turn to Yeshua.
 
The fact that God will pour out His Spirit on Israel shows that she will have a revival.
 
Romans 11:25
 
God has been pouring out His Spirit on the church, but that time is coming to an end when the last person has come to faith. Then, the Rapture happens.
 
In light of the signs of the times, we will look at a Last Day’s believer, Noah.
 
In this dark time, we need to shine as lights.
 
Scripture says, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.”
 
A world changer is someone who wants to change the culture.
 
A world changer is a follower of Jesus Christ, and they affect their surroundings more than their surroundings affect them.
 
A world changer, like Noah, are thermostats, not thermometers; they control the temperature and set the pace.
 
Noah was commanded to build a giant boat.
Hebrews 11:7
 
Remember: The Ark was built by amateurs; The Titanic was built by professionals.
 
God revealed secrets to Noah.
 
Christians know things the world does not.
 
It seems to be that openhearted Christians know we are in the Last Days.
 
Noah had a great reverence for God.
“Noah moved with Godly fear.”
Hebrews 11:7
 
To fear God does not mean we cower in fear before Him; it means we revere Him.
 
God gave us the rainbow to remind us of His promise!
 
The last page in the Bible states that we win in the end!
 
One of the signs of the times is people will not think these are the Last Days.
2 Peter 3:3
 
Jesus told us our last days would be just like Noah’s time.
Matthew 24:37–44
 
Noah walked with God when no one else did.
Genesis 6:9
 
The prophet, Amos gives us a key as to what it means to walk with God.
“Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?”
Amos 3:3
 
 
Noah was a witness for God.
2 Peter 2:5
 
“By faith, Noah being divinely warned of things not yet seen.”
Hebrews 11:7

How to Be a World Changer at the End of the World | Sunday Message

Smart grocery shoppers pay attention to expiration dates. You may see a dozen cartons of milk on the shelf . . . but a careful look shows that the expiration dates on some cartons are much further into the future. But sometimes we don’t think carefully about the other things of life that may affect us. Those things that bring quick enjoyment, often bring long-lasting disappointment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus on the things above. It’s a study of Moses.

The Desert Song | Finding Joy in the Eternal

GPS systems have come a long way over the years. They not only can show the best route, but traffic along the way, coffee stores, gas stations and fast food. You know exactly which way to go and how long it’ll take. But you still have to put the car in drive and get moving. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the same is true in our walk with God. After we’ve prayed for direction and strength, it’s time to get moving. It’s harder to steer a parked car.

Between Impossible & More Impossible | Get Moving

We love to watch movies where the hero is stuck in an impossible situation with time running out. Will he make it? Can he make it? And he’s rescued just in the nick of time. But when WE’RE stuck in a tough spot, it’s not nearly as enjoyable. No inspiring music – maybe just an icy, lonely silence. And it may look like our time is up. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says don’t give up hope. Instead, realize where your hope comes from.

Between Impossible & More Impossible | The Source of Hope

Nearly all pain relievers on the market use the phrase “for fast, temporary relief.” Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen – they’ll give a little relief, for a little while. But when it comes to forgiveness of our sin, we’re more interest in “immediate, everlasting relief” from our guilt and guile. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the story of the first Passover, we’ll see God provided a solution for sin that forever paid the price that had to be paid.

The Passover: A New Beginning | The Solution for Sin

New believers and non-believers can be baffled by so many references to blood in Scripture: washed in the blood, saved by the blood, the blood of the covenant, the blood of the Lamb. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, some biblical history and context as Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the book of Exodus and Moses’ confrontation with the Pharaoh of Egypt . . . a confrontation that culminated one night in the death of all the first-born sons of Egyptians. But the Lord passed over and spared all the Jews.

Devotion: Time to Stand Up

The stock market has had some tumultuous times in recent years. Trillions of dollars lost in days. But some managed to weather the storm...a few even had a gain. What’s the difference? They knew where to invest. What investments are a sure thing? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we should invest our lives in our relationship with God and His plan. That’s a plan that never devalues, dwindles or depreciates. Today, we’re studying the life of Moses.

The Passover: A New Beginning | Invest in God

Ever gotten into a dialogue with a telemarketer. You refuse his sales pitch, but he always has a rebuttal, a counter argument, a counter offer! Sometimes the best way to deal with him is just to say goodbye. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we can use that same approach with our spiritual adversary. We can’t negotiate with sin, we can’t “come to an understanding” with evil, we can’t compromise with the Devil. Today, some insight from our study of the life of Moses.
