Our Future Is In God’s Hands | The Freedom Found in Forgiveness

We sometimes think that forgiveness is something we do for the person who wronged us. Frankly, they may not know . . . or care. No, forgiveness is something we do for ourselves. As Pastor Greg Laurie has said, forgiveness sets a prisoner free – us. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, we look to the Psalms for important encouragement on biblical forgiveness. We follow David as he was facing mortal danger from an enemy. Yet his behavior is a model for us to follow.

Don’t Be Afraid | Strength for the Battle Within

Cartoons have often depicted an angel on one shoulder, and a demon on the other, each whispering their...suggestions. Who will he listen to, the angel (glissando) or the demon (sfx)? Cartoons have had some lighthearted fun with what’s often a real struggle: spiritual warfare. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us some practical encouragement straight from the pages of the Psalms. Psalm 27 says to each of us, “Don’t be afraid.” Join us on August 16 for the annual Jesus Revolution Baptism, a celebration of new life in Christ at Pirate’s Cove with Pastor Greg Laurie! --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org A New Beginning is the daily half-hour program hosted by Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Southern California.

The Lord Is My Shepherd | Shaped Through Struggles

A tree goes through a torturous process to become fine furniture. There’s the felling and the debarking and the cutting and the planing and the sanding and the drilling and the glueing and the pounding. But the final product can serve people for generations. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how the challenges we face in life may not be pleasant—in fact may seem down right torturous—but the Lord uses those to shape us into the people He wants us to be.

Who Is the Man of the Shroud? | Sunday Message (Guest Speaker: Dr. Jeremiah Johnston)

Guest speaker Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, a renowned New Testament Scholar, empowers us today with believed historical evidence supporting our faith. He brings our attention to the Shroud of Turin, a captivating artifact believed to have an imprint of Jesus' image. Dr. Johnston shares that it provides compelling evidence for Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. Hear his case for why Jesus is, in fact, "the man of the shroud." Notes: Focus verses - John 20:1–8 The Shroud of Turin is evidence for Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible is about real people, real places, and real events. We need to know how to defend our faith.  Christianity's closest cousin is archaeology. The Shroud of Turin is the most studied archaeological artifact on the planet.  We have enough evidence to believe in the resurrection. It's believed that the light power emitted during the resurrection imprinted the image on the cloth. All 4 gospels mention Jesus' burial cloth. The Shroud matches the biblical description of Jesus' wounds and death. Serious scholars and experts believe The Shroud is authentic. The Shroud has been deeply studied.  Max Frei-Sulzer's pollen analysis suggests the relic spent time in the Middle East. Science today still cannot explain how the image is on the cloth. The evidence most powerfully points to one conclusion: Jesus is "the man of the shroud." Are you ready to see Jesus face to face?  --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
