These involve important traits that will keep you from being pulled down: Passion, Courage, Confidence, and Integrity.  We’re going to be contrasting two individuals who both had humble beginnings, but one rose and the other sank … David and Saul.

Today on Bold Steps, we’re getting some powerful insight on how to deepen our relationship with Christ, and avoid empty religion. We’re picking up where we ended last time in our lesson from Revelation chapter 3, taking a closer look at the Church at Sardis, one of the 7 churches God confronted through the prophet John.  We’re finding that Sardis looked good on the outside … but once you pop the hood to look beneath the surface, things were spiritually dead.  And so the Lord gave John 5 commands to share with the Church at Sardis to confront the deadness and make a recovery.  Pastor Mark Jobe continues to outline these relevant commands for us today.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you leaning into the God-given power already inside you?  Or searching for strength somewhere else? That’s the topic today on Bold Steps … Today, we’re continuing a lesson about the power and promises we’ve been given by God … and it’s sad but true that so many Christians today are trying to solve their problems by changing what’s around them … rather than tapping into what’s already inside of them. Some Christians are wasting their time trying every ‘self-help’ trick in the book but … real change is only found in the presence and power of God.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us tap into the spiritual strength that every Christian has been given, but perhaps been overlooking.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe... we’re learning to give what little we have so God can multiply it for His purposes. It’s easy to think that the solution to big problems requires a big solution ... a big-name speaker, author, media mogul ... lots of resources and budgets ... huge facilities to minister to others, etc.  But, in reality, God confounds the wise and powerful, accomplishing His big purposes using the small.

As a Christian, you’ve been given the power to awaken others to the spirit of God … but are you actually using this power?  Find out today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. Last time, Mark began a message about Releasing the Power of Resurrection … explaining how every Christian has been given the unique privilege to be a carrier of God’s redeeming power … and to awaken others to that same gift, bringing light into the dark places of life.  But even though we have this privilege, we sometimes let it go to waste … forgetting or simply overlooking the resurrection power God is offering us.  That’s why Mark is laying out four important steps we need to take to make sure we don’t waste this incredible gift.  The first point he makes, is that we can’t let other people’s issues be an obstacle to our own connection to God.  And to continue his lesson, we’re looking at a story in the book of Mark chapter 5, now in verse 35 … where Jesus has been called to the house of a man named Jairus, whose young daughter was dying.  But on His way to the house of Jairus, Jesus is interrupted by a woman seeking her own miracle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God is able and ready to do incredible things in your life … but is it possible that He’s waiting on you?  Find out today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. As believers, we have been given the Holy Spirit.  Like a light in the darkness, we now have the power and call to shine that light to others.  Mark says we need to be “Awakeners” to others as we carry God’s presence into the world.

What does being a Strong Mom really look like?  That’s what we’re finding out today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. Yesterday, we began a message about what it means to be a Strong Mom … exploring some key principles from the biblical example of Hannah, seen in the book of 1st Samuel.  Hannah had the deep desire to bear children and to become a mother … but as time waned on, she remained childless.  Through her pain and seemingly unanswered prayers, Hannah continued to go to the Lord with her heartfelt request, kneeling and crying out in desperation for a miracle.  And to continue her story, join us in 1st Samuel, looking in chapter 1 starting in verse 13.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe asks, what is holding you back from being a full-on worshipper of God? Think about the last time you cheered on your favorite sports team or sang along with your favorite artist at a concert? Now, what about the last time you worshipped at church? What was your energy level? Were you able to praise God whole-heartedly or were you not able to get fully involved? Mark will be in Psalm 118 and explaining some practical tips that will help you find your praise again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can't read the Psalms without the challenge and inspiration to give thanks. It is the default mode of a believer to be thankful. Regardless of what you think your personality is, you need to be in the habit of deliberately and intentionally giving thanks every day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we'll discover how worship helps you prepare to communicate with God by softening your heart. God loves a heart that praises Him. We'll be in 2 Samuel 6 where we'll see King David dancing and singing and praising the Lord with all of his might before all of Israel. So Mark poses the question to us, should our worship to God be any different? We'll determine the answer to that question in our message title, Breakthrough Worship, from our series, Finding Words.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, there is NO higher calling than to worship God. We're continuing our series called, Finding Words ... and we're looking at what it means to experience breakthrough worship. Worship doesn't always come naturally for most people. So, it might be a challenge. Especially if you have not been around the things of God for a while. Maybe you are a new believer. Maybe it feels awkward? But, worship is actually the atmosphere of the People of God. It's what we breathe and what flows out of us. And it's what needs to happen in order for God to accomplish what He wants to in our life. Join us in learning more as we open the Bible to Psalm 96.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we're learning how to renew our hearts and find fellowship with God. God desires for us to have joy, gladness, purity of heart and a steadfast spirit. Things we can sum up as being in His presence. But, when outside forces cause our inward fellowship to become interrupted, we need a cleansing. Mark will help show us how as we continue our study in Psalm 51. The message title is, Confession and Cleansing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we'll discover that a key part of prayer is confession and cleansing. Psalms 51 is so powerful because it is one of restoration. King David was at a dark place in his life and it's in this process of repentance where we see life starting to spring up again. So many of us feel overwhelmed, full of shame of our failures and guilt ... the enemy keeps us locked in that place. Today you will be challenged with the steps out of this and we'll see how the word "confession" is not and ugly word, but a very powerful one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we're learning that God wants us to be honest with Him. But how do we find the right words? Learning to pray comes from a heart of worship and praise. And when we find God's presence, our language and the words we use should reflect that presence. But, is finding and staying in God's presence always that easy? Mark will answer that question as we continue looking at Psalm 84.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, learn how to stop struggling with what you say ... when you pray. We're starting a new series today to help you pray in a bold and effective way. Every time we talk about prayer, people tend to say, oh no... I should be doing more of it, it's so difficult ... and they feel guilty about it. There is something inside of us that tells us we should be praying, but we often have the wrong perspective. Hopefully in these upcoming messages, you will re-discover the joy of praying and it will flow in a more natural way and not a task that you have to accomplish, but a relationship to engage in. Join us in Psalm 84 and follow along with the message, Staying in the Presence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps ... how God provides second chances. "No pain, no gain"...it's a phrase we associate with physical works outs, but applies to our spiritual growth as well.

We’re continuing a message about what it means to bring ourselves back to the heart of God.  It’s a lesson from the book of Luke, where Jesus gave a parable about two sons, and the different choices they made with their inheritance.  One son stayed at home with his father to continue working and growing responsibly … and the other son took all of his inheritance and left home, journeying off to another land where he ended up squandering all the wealth he had been given.  In desperation, the prodigal son found himself looking for work … and that’s where today’s lesson picks up.  If you have your Bible handy, go ahead and open to Luke chapter 15, starting in verse 15, for today’s Bold Steps lesson, titled … Returning Back to the Father’s Heart …See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anger can be a powerful and dangerous emotion … and the Bible has some clear warnings on how we’re meant to handle it.  Find out today on Bold Steps. Is there something in life making you angry?  Maybe it’s a relationship causing you grief, or a problem in life that you just can’t seem to let go of.  Maybe you’re trying to change, but no matter what, those feelings of anger in the pit of your stomach just won’t go away?  Well, if we’re being honest, most of us have something that makes us angry … even if it’s just what we hear on the news.  But when anger digs in deep and gets a foothold in our heart, that’s when we’re in real danger.  And that’s exactly what Pastor Mark Jobe will be talking about today as we continue a message titled … How to Survive in an Age of Rage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The “Positions Trap” says you have value when you prove it with your actions and your accomplishments. Are you stuck in this endless cycle of trying to find value in the way others see you? Find relief today… on Bold Steps. We concluding our series, Identity Theft. A powerful look at the traps in our lives that we allow to define our worth and value. We pick up where we left off last time with the lie that says, I’m only somebody if I can earn it by my accomplishments and how others see me. This thinking can quickly enslave and set us on a solitary path of constant striving and insecurity. Teaching from Luke 4 helps set our thinking straight as we continue with Part 2 of the “Position Trap”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you driven by achievement? or do you chase recognition over truth about yourself? Today on Bold Steps, how God gives real and lasting value and worth and a way out of… the position trap. Luke 4:9-11 says, The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here.10 For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; 11 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ This temptation isn’t about Jesus saving Himself, it’s about being tempted to elevate Himself to a position of authority before the right time. Our focus will be about how you see yourself and where you get your value from. The “Position Trap” says that you get this by being honored by other people and proving it with your actions and achievements. This goes for “religious” people too—it’s NOT about proving your spirituality! It affects every area of our life and can seriously trip us up in our walk with God.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you really know who you are?  That’s the question, today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. Mark is going to be talking about one of his favorite topics when it comes to following Jesus and that’s identity.  Who we are in Christ Jesus.  We were able to catch up with him at another Moody Bible Institute President’s Chapel where he spoke to students about this topic … and it is very important, especially for younger people on a college campus to know who they are. College campuses are one of the loneliest places in the country! Much of that loneliness comes from feelings of isolation and feeling like they don’t measure up. That’s an ID problem! In this message we’ll learn from someone in the Bible who also struggled with identity …. and we’ll see how God was able to meet them in their struggle and establish a clear calling and purpose.  Our message is titled Identity Matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps … Pastor Mark Jobe encourages us to let go of our failures, and let the love of God lead us into new life.

The message is titled Jesus Encounters a Shattered Heart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's message will challenge our perspective on what it means to be a good neighbor.  Truth is, sometimes the people right around us can fall through the cracks of our hearts and minds … and in our pursuit of ‘bigger’ missions or ‘loftier’ visions … we can miss out on the divine opportunities God has placed right in front of us.  To better illustrate this point, Mark is referencing one of the parables of Jesus, known as The Good Samaritan.  We’re joining him today with our Bibles open to Luke chapter 10, starting in verse 30. This is our final program of 2022, with a message titled … How to be a Good Neighbor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe has a motivating message about divine appointments. See if you recognize these lyrics to a popular television program … It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Please won't you be ... my neighbor? Fred Rogers is quoted as saying, "It always helps to have people we love beside us when we have to do difficult things in life." Well, it’s easy to sing the song, but much harder to do in real life! … We're going to learn how God calls us to not only to just acknowledge those directly around us, but how to engage them and represent Jesus as a good neighbor. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is there something from your past holding you back from your future?  Find out today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. On yesterday’s program, Mark began a message about What it Means to Release Spiritual Baggage and Cross Spiritual Borders.  We saw how important our obedience to God really is, and that when we choose to compromise in the moment and try to avoid something that God has clearly brought before us … that compromise has consequences.  And sometimes the effects of our disobedience can show up much later down the road … emerging with problems that can block us from moving forward.  And to better grasp this fundamental truth, join Mark Jobe with today’s lesson from the book of Exodus … here on Bold Steps.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
