Finishing What You Start | Special Message from Pastor Greg Laurie
After experiencing God’s blessings, the people of Israel still returned to their old ways. Sound familiar? If you’ve found yourself drifting spiritually and falling into the same patterns—a fresh start is close by. Spiritual momentum is building! Help us continue to meet this unique moment by supporting our evangelistic efforts in 2026—give before the year ends! Notes: Focus verse - Nehemiah 10 #1 Starting strong is good, finishing strong is better. Samson started well but did not finish that way. Marriage is like our relationship with God. The moment you begin to neglect and take your marriage for granted, trouble follows.The same is true of our Christian life. The bible says, “Work out your own salvation.” #2 Stay focused. When we take our eyes off the Lord, we will get discouraged. Nehemiah 4:14 Israel did not remember the Lord. This was not just about the physical state of the walls.This was about the spiritual state of their lives. #3 Israel promised to carefully follow all the commands of scripture. Read Nehemiah 10:28–29 Jesus is the unique and only miracle working Son of God who died and rose again. #4 Israel chose to obey the word of God. The surrender to God’s word happened from top down.Nehemiah 10:28 It’s one thing to believe the word of God, it’s another thing to surrender to it. #5 Israel separated themselves from ungodly influences.Nehemiah 10:28–30 To live a godly life, you need to separate yourself from some things and join yourself to others. The three most important decisions you will make in life are:What am I going to do with Jesus Christ?What am I going to do with my life?Who am I going to marry? Israel was pulled down by ungodly people. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Separation does not mean isolation. #6 Israel was invested in God’s kingdom.Nehemiah 10:32 If we follow God’s principles about giving, we can expect Him to meet our needs.2 Corinthians 9:8 Nehemiah 13:8 Little compromises lead to bigger problems. Jesus finished what he started. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Evangelism Jesus-Style | Winning Hearts for Christ
In scholastic debates, they keep score. It’s a competition, and each side wants to win big. All too often, believers think sharing their faith is some kind of competitive debate. If they can score enough points, they win . . . and the other person automatically comes to Christ. But that approach can suddenly end the conversation, and even end the friendship. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we’re to win souls, not debates. Good encouragement coming today. Spiritual momentum is building!

Jesus and the Expectant | Awaiting His Return
It’s the day we celebrate God incarnate, the baby Jesus born in a humble stable. It was a miraculous birth . . . on many levels.

Jesus and the Expectant | Love from the Margins
In any gathering, there are a few people in the spotlight, so to speak, and there are a few on the periphery. Those in the spotlight may seem like the most interesting people in the room, but those on the periphery sometimes have the most fascinating stories. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the birth of Christ and helps us meet a couple of people who seem to be on the periphery of the story, but who have much to teach us about having a love for Christ. — 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.
