Heaven: The Home We Long For | Sunday Message

Homer’s epic The Odyssey—retold in this summer’s blockbuster—is built around one longing: to get home. The Greeks even had a word for it: nostos, or “homecoming.” It’s where we get the word “nostalgia”—literally, the ache of home. For ten years, Odysseus fights his way past hostile gods just to reach Ithaca—Poseidon, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and more. Here’s the difference: we don’t have to fight our way home. We just have to find our way back. Jesus said it plainly, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). — Become a Harvest Partner [https://harvest.org/harvest-partner/?utm_source=ANB&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=HarvestPartners] today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

The Gifts that Keep Giving | Power for Every Assignment

Whether you’re a woodworker, a steel worker or in another form of construction, you know that the tougher the job, the more the need for power tools.

And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of putting them to work.

Better Together | Serving Like Jesus

The Lord has many options for reaching us in a time of need. Certainly one of the most obvious and most important is the local church. In a crisis, help may be as close as the church down the street. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us learn from the early Church. As we study the book of Acts today, we’ll see they set the example for reaching out with the care and concern of Jesus Christ . . . and they provide us an opportunity to serve – to give as we’ve received. — Become a Harvest Partner [https://harvest.org/harvest-partner/?utm_source=ANB&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=HarvestPartners] today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Christianity is a worldwide faith. Some say over 31% are Christians the world over. Yet, if you rewind history, Christianity began in a small geographic area on the other side of the globe, with just a handful of followers. How in the world did they reach the world!? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us some good insight from the book of Acts that’ll help us encourage one another in the faith, and reach our world in our time with the love of Christ. — Become a Harvest Partner [https://harvest.org/harvest-partner/?utm_source=ANB&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=HarvestPartners] today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.
