Which Side Are You On? | A Warning Against Idolatry 28:05

4h ago28:05

28:05

We throw the word idol around pretty freely in our culture. “So-and-so is a teen idol” . . . “did you watch American Idol?” . . . “Humphrey Bogart was a matinee idol.” But biblically speaking, an idol is a representation or symbol of an object of worship. It’s a clear transgression of the First Commandment. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Lau…

We all have a bit of an actor inside us—not the Broadway type or a movie star, but the kind who can muster up some enthusiasm when we need to. We might force a courtesy chuckle when someone tells a corny joke. But when it comes to our Christian witness, it’s got to be the real deal. It’s not about putting on a show but about living a life of genuin…

How to Be Happy, Part 2 | Christian Persecution 29:19

23d ago29:19

29:19

What’s the proof that we’re part of the body of Christ? Is there a membership card, a secret handshake, an insignia we wear on our clothing? I mean, the Bible says they’ll know we’re Christians by our love, but what about some bona fide credentials?

The things we’re eager to buy, we’re eager to buy them because they’ll make us happy, right? Like a new car! Oh yeah!

God has given each of us a job. It’s an important job. But we probably spend a lot more time at the job that’s printed on our business card than engaged in the job God has given us. God didn’t put us here to be the vice-president of this, or the regional director that. Pastor Greg Laurie points out today, our main job is to show others how to know …
