We’ve all heard the phrase “for such a time as this.” Today, we begin a study of where it comes from. Glad you’re along for A NEW BEGINNING today as Pastor Greg Laurie begins a study of courage in the face of danger, and of God’s providence when the odds are stacked against us. It concerns a young woman named Esther who was chosen to be queen . . . but more importantly how God chose her to help bring deliverance to the Jewish people. It’s a fascinating study of a true biblical hero.

Ever searched YouTube for how-to help and found some guy fixing a leaky faucet with nothing but a sock and a taco shell? Somehow, it worked, and you watched the whole thing. Why?

We help people find Jesus, and show them how to follow Him. Think of this as your spiritual “how-to” video… no taco shell required.

The number one reason believers don’t share their faith is fear: “What if I offend that person? What if it changes the relationship?” Would we be concerned about that if their home was on fire and they were in danger? Well, the Gospel saves people from a very real eternal danger. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how Jesus Himself directed us to spread the word far and wide. Someone’s eternity could literally hang in the balance if we don’t.

Jesus was arrested and subjected to unjust trials before the Jewish leaders and Roman governor Pilate. Though found innocent, He was sentenced to death to appease the crowd. Jesus was scourged, mocked, and forced to carry His cross to Golgotha. There, He was crucified between two criminals, ultimately dying to pay the penalty for our sin. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us it all began with betrayal ... by one of His own disciples.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Someone who seems harmless and pleasant, maybe even trustworthy, but who really is a hidden danger. These kind of people can be anywhere – classmates, co-workers, church members. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us understand these people, and be on our guard. We’ll consider one such individual who wound up in the Lord’s inner circle. He was a fake, a fraud . . . but also an Apostle.

Some people treat prayer like it’s a game of chance. Like Bingo. They bring their petition to the Lord and then wait to see if they “get lucky.” “You win some, you lose some.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how to pray with more confidence. It’s not up to luck, it’s up to the Lord . . . the Lord who loves us, and cares for us, and told us to keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking. Practical prayer instruction is just ahead.

Some people don’t understand the logic of faith. Believers put their trust in a God who parted the Red Sea, raised the dead, healed the sick, calmed the storm, walked on water . . . and created the heavens and the earth. Doesn’t it make sense to trust a God like that? Does it make sense not to. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings a story about a woman who had faith that just wouldn’t quit. It’s inspiring insight for those times when we’re ready to throw in the towel.
