Many treat evangelism like a spectator sport, preferring to leave it to the “professionals.” Jesus’ command, however, was for all believers. Listen to Truth For Life as Alistair Begg challenges us to get out of the stands and onto the field of play.

At various times, we all come down with a case of the “gimmes.” Gimme this, gimme that. And nearly every advertisement feeds that craving. Whatever they say, what they really mean is, “You want one of these, don’t you?” A new car, a new phone, a new outfit. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the biblical reference to coveting goes even beyond the gimmes. “I don’t just want one...I want YOURS.” Today, we’ll see it’s addressed in the 10 Commandments.

Children often look like their parents. It could be facial features, the way they move their hands as they speak, or their laugh. And a child will often mimic his parents’ mannerisms. Something about an apple not falling far from a tree. But ever since Eve was handed the fruit of one particular tree, Satan has been lying to us . . . and many now mimic his behavior. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us chart a course for our behavior from the Lord’s 10 Commandments.
