Despite Covid changing the way we interact, we know how powerful human

Your life will always be a reflection of what you prioritize in your life. If you choose to live for yourself and live the way the world tells you to live, you will find yourself less sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that if you want to live for God, you have to make Him the center of everything in your life! What would your day look like if the first thing you thought of when you woke up was God’s goodness? It will completely transform your life!

For many teens, the drive to fit in or feel worthy can shape almost every decision they make. Beneath the surface, those struggles often trace back to deep questions of value, trust and belonging. Today, Mark sits down with two Heartlight residents who each share their journeys through perfectionism, insecurity and the desire to be loved. For Emily, her struggles with anxiety and perfectionism started as early as 7 years old. She talks about feeling pressured to perform in every aspect of life, often seeking validation from others at the expense of her own well-being. Tune in for honest conversations about the power of validation — and the hope of finding true worth.

Where does your electricity come from in your home? The electric company, right? You’re connected directly. Your neighbor is connected directly. You’re not running an extension cord over to the neighbor’s to power up your lights. (At least I hope not.) Well, we each need a direct spiritual connection to our Heavenly Father. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how that sheds light on Paul’s injunction to “work out our own salvation.” Glad you’re along today for one of our best-of messages.

• Great need
• Great sin
• Great bondage
• God's compassion
• God's judgment
• God delivers

3. How did Jesus teach His disciples to experience and be agents of breakthrough?
