Wrestling with God | The Illusion of Control

Wrestling with God | The Illusion of Control

There’s a famous poem about defiant independence featuring phrases like “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” The Lord probably finds that poem pretty funny. The Bible says the earth is God’s footstool. And He hears a wee, little voice say I am the captain of my soul. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us a fresh perspective from Jacob’s attempt to wrestle with God. — 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.

No Good Excuses: Why We Say No to God | Sunday Message

The first known excuse in human history is found in Genesis with Adam. We all have excuses for doing, or not doing, something.

Wrestling with God | When Wills Collide

God gave us free will. And what a risky gift that is. Sure, it’s fine when the biggest choice is coffee or tea . . . sneakers or sandals. But what happens when our will collides with God’s will? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes on the danger of saying, “Thanks, God, but I’ve got this.” He’ll walk us through the story of an Old Testament character who wanted things his way, in his timing . . . and even wrestled with God. — 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.

God Is Now Here | Love That Rescues

Sin can have lethal consequences! God had a rescue plan from the very beginning, but that plan required His Son to give His own life so that we could live. Jesus’ death wasn’t a good plan gone bad . . . it was God’s perfect plan to redeem imperfect man. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the plan of Redemption is the ultimately example of God’s love and providence for His children . . . a love that protects His children. — 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.

God Is Now Here | He Hears You Even Now

Ever walk up to an order counter and not a soul pays attention to you? You clear your throat . . . you utter a polite “excuse me” . . . nothing. Some people think they get the same response when they call on God. Silence. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that God hears our prayers, He cares about our needs, and He never stops working on our behalf. Even when it seems like nothing’s happening, something’s happening. — 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.
