Don't try to be righteous by trying harder, pray for the help of the Holy Spirit.

We all have a sin nature. Don't we know that all too well?

Today, Pastor Greg Laurie points out, we need the help of someone more powerful than us.

Stop trying to be spiritual. Stop trying to be good. You will fail because you're bad.

But God is good and He'll give you the strength to live. The life is called you to live.

This is the day when the lost are found. This is the day of a moment again.

Amazing grace, help with the stone. But can you hear the angels of the sea now?

This is the day when life begins.

Sometimes the child needs a little help from his mom or dad.

Whether it's trying to tie a shoe or trying to climb a tree,

sometimes he just can't quite make it on his own.

Whether we admit it or not, we often need help from our Heavenly Father.

When we try to live a righteous life, but still have a sin nature,

that's when we need to rely on our God.

And today, on the new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how to call on God

and accept his help in our daily walk.

This is the day, the day when life begins.

Our text that we're going to look at together is Romans 8.
