So much of life is determined by our focus. Do we focus on career more than family, or family more than career? Do we focus more on pursuing goals, or enjoying the journey? Some focus on happiness . . . it’s their most important pursuit in life. And yet happiness isn’t found through direct pursuit. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that happiness comes when we put God before ourselves . . . when His will becomes our will. That’s our cross to bear. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

What an incredible start to our GOD First journey last week! Thank you to everyone who showed up, leaned in, and took the first step with us. It was inspiring to see our church choose to put God first—starting with prayer above work. I truly believe that when prayer takes first place, everything else begins to realign.I want to encourage you to be diligent and intentional in this journey. The daily devotions are not just extra reading—they are moments to meet with God and allow Him to shape your heart. The Action Groups are where truth moves from inspiration to application. Don't miss them.Today we move to our next theme: Tithing Above Expenses. This is not simply about money—it's about trust. It's about declaring with our resources that God is first, not leftover. When we honor God first, He teaches us to live with faith, freedom, and obedience in every area of life.Let's keep walking this journey together.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Emmanuel continues our GOD FIRST series with a powerful teaching from John 13. As Jesus knelt to wash his disciples' feet—even knowing of Judas's imminent betrayal—he modeled a leadership that serves rather than demands service. Through Pastor Emmanuel's compelling story of Igor, a former Russian military man whose misconceptions about faith were shattered by Jesus's radical example in John 13, we witness the transformative power of understanding God's true nature. We hope this message encourages you to boldly follow Jesus knowing He went first!  || ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.
