Everybody Needs Jesus! | Sunday Message

3/22/2026
Whether you're 17 or 71, popular or struggling, put-together or barely hanging on—we all need the same thing. And His name is Jesus. We'll see that in this message from Pastor Greg Laurie! Notes: In Luke 8, we meet two very different people with two very different problems. If you feel like your life is falling apart, this story is for you. Read Luke 8:40–48 This poor woman had been in poor health for 12 years. This young girl, who was sick and near death, was 12 years old. Luke 8:41 (NLT) [Jairus] came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with Him to come home with him. We all should want Jesus to come home with us. Parents: the best thing you can do is get your children to Jesus. Be faithful. Be consistent. Be present. Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NLT) And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Every young person is looking for three things: a place to belong, a purpose to live for, and to be loved. Jairus had great faith in Christ. Then this woman burst on the scene. How easily Jairus could have resented this intrusion. Jesus is never late. He is always on time. This woman had been sick for 12 long years with no hope for a cure. Maybe you, too, need a healing touch from Jesus right now. Reach out to Him as this desperate woman did. Jesus literally said, “Who touched Me on my clothes? I felt in myself the power going out from Me.” The Bible says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!” (James 4:8) Read Luke 8:49–50 Jairus heard these dreadful words, “Your daughter is dead.” But Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” Jairus had to choose which voice to listen to. “Fear not, for I am with you; I will strengthen you.” (Isaiah 41:10) “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27) “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) “I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.” (Jeremiah 29:11) How do you hear the voice of God? By opening the Bible. Read Luke 8:51–53 God doesn’t just care about your afterlife.​ He also cares about you in this life. 1 Timothy 6:17b (ESV) God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, those who listen to My message and believe in God who sent Me have eternal life. They pass from death to life.” The woman needed Jesus. Jairus needed Jesus. That little 12-year-old girl needed Jesus. And so do you. Turn to Jesus. Only Jesus can give meaning to your life and hope beyond death. Everyone needs Jesus. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

The Rapture & Revival | When We Meet the Lord in the Air

3/20/2026
In 2 Peter 3, we read, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” Some people accepted Christ yesterday – good thing the Rapture didn’t happen the day BEFORE yesterday. Coming up on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn all we can about the Rapture . . . that great event when we’re suddenly caught up to meet the Lord in the air. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

The Bible & Revival | Filling Our Minds with Truth

Oh the worthless things that get into our minds when we weren’t paying attention. We can remember the words of TV themes . . . the words in the jingles of various fast-food restaurants . . . the words to songs on the radio – songs we don’t even like!

The Bible & Revival | Feeding on God’s Word

3/18/2026
God’s Word is a light for our path . . . food for our souls. It’s the only offensive weapon in our suit of spiritual armor. And yet, in many homes, it’s the most dusty book on the bookshelf. It contains the very keys to the issues of life, yet it’s overlooked and forgotten. And so many times we need the help it offers. A well-used Bible that’s falling apart is usually owned by someone who isn’t.

Things to Do Before the End of the World | Closer Than We Think

In this case, what we don’t know can impact us for eternity.

Things to Do Before the End of the World w/Don Stewart | Ready for the Rapture

3/16/2026
We know Jesus is coming back. We don’t know when. The Bible even tells us that none of us knows the day or the hour. But it also advises us to be ready. It’ll come suddenly and could happen when we least expect it. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie welcomes Bible scholar Don Stewart for a revealing discussion of what the Bible says about God’s End Times plan. Although we don’t know the day or the hour of the Rapture, there’s so much we do know.

Who Is This Man? | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)

3/15/2026
Many believers start on fire for God—full of awe and excitement—but that often fades with time. In this message, see how we can have an awe that lasts. Notes: Luke 8:16–56 The problem is when we stop fighting to keep the fire lit. Read Luke 8:16–18 (NKJV) The Secret to Sustained Awe The way you keep your awe alive is by actively receiving and actively sharing the light you've been given. Luke 8:18 “Therefore take heed how you hear.” Read Luke 8:19–21 Luke 8:21 “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Read Luke 8:22–25 Storms That Reset Storms expose what we really trust. Storms can also reset our perspectives. Luke 8:25 (NLT) Then He asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When He gives a command, even the wind and waves obey Him!” The storm didn’t reveal how powerful the wind was; it revealed how powerful Jesus was. Every storm we face is an invitation to trust the One who commands the wind and obey Him. Daniel 3:17 (NLT) “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty.” Daniel 3:18 (NLT) “But even if he doesn't, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up." Jesus endured the greatest storm, which was taking our sin on the cross. Read Luke 8:26–39 (NKJV) The Awe of Deliverance John 10:10 (NKJV) "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” The demons were begging Jesus, because even the powers of hell must submit to the authority of Jesus Christ. Luke 8:37 (NKJV) Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned. Luke 8:39 "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. The man who was sitting in spiritual and physical darkness just became a lampstand. Jesus stepped into our darkness so we could: be forgiven, be restored, become children of God. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

The Holy Spirit in Revival | Revival Can Happen Again

What the Resurrection of Jesus Means to You | Raised to Live a New Life

3/9/2026
The Resurrection is a pivot point for the entire Christian faith. Paul told the Corinthian church, “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” Thankfully, he then said, “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead.” And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the Resurrection provides the power we need to break through the barriers and live the Christian life. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.
