The book of Revelation contains a series of letters to seven different churches. It’s the Lord’s specific message to each of those bodies of believers—containing both commendation and criticism. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, we’ll see the Lord would direct those messages to many of today’s believers. It’s one of this past year’s most requested messages, titled The 7 Love Letters of Jesus to His Church. And we’ll pay close attention to the kind of love He’s talking about.

Why does the Catholic church have some additional books not found in the Protestant Bible? This and many other questions surround the origin of the Scriptures. In this message, we affirm why the Bible alone is the basis for our faith and practice. God superintended the process to reveal Himself to us.  This month’s special offer is available for a donation of any amount. Get yours at rtwoffer.com or call us at 1-888-218-9337.

War veteran Chad Robichaux uses a story of nearly being captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan to make an important point: when we are at a critical juncture in our life, we need to recognize that fact and then make a move. He calls it being “on the X.” Chad goes on to share how he almost committed suicide while suffering PTSD, and encourages his audience to fight against suicidal thoughts. He concludes by describing how a mission to save his Afghan interpreter turned into a huge evacuation of anyone targeted by the Taliban after American forces left Afghanistan.Receive the book"Saving Aziz" for your donation of any amount: https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2023-01-26?refcd=1602305Get more episode resources: http://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/the-heart-of-a-warrior/#featured-resource-ctaIf you've listened to any of our podcasts, please give us your feedback: https://focusonthefamily.com/podcastsurvey/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some believers wish there were a tried and true formula for bringing someone to Christ. Memorize these verses, rehearse these statements. If they ask this, you say that. Well, preparation is good . . . but sometimes people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Holy Spirit is the One who draws people to Christ. We can certainly plant a seed, but we have to allow for the Spirit’s work in their lives.

Where did the Bible originate? Many question how we know which books should be accepted as qualified Scripture. In this message, we’re introduced to God’s providence in preserving the Scriptures throughout the ages. It was not merely dictated or constructed by humans.

In our natural bodies, there are many things inside that keep us alive, although we’ve never seen them. Antibodies, clotting agents, intestinal flora, white blood cells. Now, spiritually speaking, there are invisible forces at work that want to help us and save us, although other forces want to destroy us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the work of God’s Spirit acquaints us with our sin, and acquaints us with our Savior. It’s important we know how to respond.

Our minds cannot grasp the immensity of the universe, let alone explain its origin. Creation displays the glory of God. In this message, we identify two necessary attributes of a Creator God.
