Scientists tell us there are 100 billion stars in the average galaxy.

And there are at least 100 million galaxies in known space. Your father in heaven made all of those things. So, I think when you have a problem, God can handle it.

One kind of challenge has invaded your universe. Pastor Greg Laurie says God can handle it.

What an insult to God did not realize this power. That he wants to display in your life.

This is the day when the lost are found. This is the day for a moment again. Amazing grace, God's sweetest stone.

But can you give away angel for senior? This is the day that day when life begins.

Ever wonder why the stars glow at night? And not the scientific reason. Why did God make them visible to us? Even though some are thousands of light years away?

Maybe it's a message. If he can create a universe that's bigger than we can imagine. Maybe he can solve a problem that's bigger than we can handle.

Today on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us look at God's power and his love. They're demonstrated in how he sent his son to save us from our sins.

The day that day when life begins.

A number of years ago, I went to a mental institution. Maybe I should explain. Not as a patient. I was there as a visitor. In fact, I was going to pray for someone that requested a pastor.

I'm there with the fellow pastor and we meet a patient in the institution. My friend says to this guy, have you ever met Jesus Christ personally? This guy with a missing of be turns to me and shakes my hand and says, Jesus, it's good to meet you.

My friend brought Jesus into the mental institution. He says, Jesus, it's good to meet you. I said, no, no, no. My name is Greg. I'm not Jesus. But wouldn't we just love to shake his hand?

I mean, to actually see him face to face. If you could pick any other time in history to live, would you pick 2000 years ago so you could walk the streets with Jesus and talk to Jesus and hear the voice of Jesus?

I mean, think about the impact he has had on the world. More books have been written about Jesus Christ and any other person who's ever lived.

I was with my grandson Christopher the other day and I have some old typewriters in my office. They don't work. They're on my shelf. They're more for decoration, but he really was fascinated by it.

So I took it down and I said in front of me, he just starts typing away like he really knows what he's in. Clackety, clackety, clack. And so I said, Christopher, are you writing a book? He said, no.

He said, well, if you wrote a book, what would you write it about? And he's still typing the whole time typing. I mean, he says, Jesus, that's great answer for a four year old.

You write about Jesus. What would you say? He said, I don't know. And he just kept typing. But I love that. That it's in his little heart. I write a book about Jesus.
