Bold Steps with Dr. Mark Jobe

​Are you a parent? A business leader? Maybe you’re a teacher? Well no matter your influence, we all have a calling. On last week’s program, Mark explained the need to embrace the spiritual position God has placed on your life … even if it can be tiring sometimes to follow God’s plan! So, today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe is going to show us how we can recharge in God’s daily power... with a message called, Hold Your Position.

​Throughout Scripture, we've seen examples of those who have been in the right place … at the right time … to accept their God-given position and calling to accomplish great things. And as we move forward in our Bold Steps series called, See the Change, we'll be talking about those people … and we'll be encouraging you to embrace your position and calling … The title of the message today is, Hold Your Position.

​Well, here at Bold Steps, we believe God wants to take you to the next level … and He wants to do something new in your life. And just as He prepared the Israelites for their time in the desert, He wants to prepare you for your next season with Him, as well. But in order to do that, He’s going to need to Refresh Your Memory. Our message today comes from our series … See the Change, and we’re in Deuteronomy, Chapter 8. Now here’s Pastor Mark Jobe …

​It's easy to remember God when we're in a trial or another painful circumstance. But what about when things are going well? Have there been times when you've forgotten what He's done? Well, I think it's safe to say we all have. In today's message, Pastor Mark Jobe is is going to look at a powerful passage from Deuteronomy chapter 8 that reads, "Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God." Mark says that in order to be ready for what God has for us in our next season, we need to not...

​As we continue our Bold Steps series titled, See the Change, we're talking about the Divine Drive … and a willingness to cross over the line into our calling. And we know that crossing over takes courage, a willingness to build up your faith, and the ability to step out and say … It's MY turn now … and so, Pastor Mark Jobe is here to encourage us to do just that(!) with a message about Elisha's life from 2 Kings chapter 2.

Today on Bold Steps the title of the message is, Divine Drive. Our series is called See the Change. There are some listening to us today who God is trying to position into the right place … for a specific time, and you want to make sure they don't miss it … perhaps it's YOU! If so, be prepared to be challenged to cross the line into your calling.

​Sometimes we think that big problems require bigger-than-life solutions. And if we could only nab someone with clout … like a popular speaker … or a famous celebrity or author … to get behind our cause, then we'd be able to push our agenda further … and everything would be okay. But as we'll discover today on Bold Steps, most of the time, the biggest and best solutions to our problems come from the smallest of places … and people! And when we come in faith … God will take what we bring and...

Today on Bold Steps, we're starting a new series, and its titled … See the Change. Pastor Mark Jobe has said before that he believes there are those who are living below God's calling in their life … and today he wants to raise their faith level. Encouragement to give God what you have even though it may be small and insignificant. The message is called, What's in Your Lunchbox?

​Well, today on Bold Steps, as we conclude our series, Fan or Follower, Pastor Mark Jobe is going to throw a challenge out there to all of us. He's going to ask us to draw a line in the sand … and decide right now if we're gonna remain on the sidelines as a fan. Or, are we willing to step out in bold faith and become authentic followers of Jesus Christ? We're in the book of Matthew … and we'll be referencing chapter 10, verses 32 through 42 …

​Have you ever tried to buy something only to realize you hadn't considered the cost? It's embarrassing, for sure. But what many people don't realize is this happens to us spiritually, too. Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe is going to remind us that it actually costs us something when we follow Jesus. Today's message is one of those hard passages of Scripture. It's one of those "Ouch! That hurts!" sayings of Jesus where He is teaching us how to count the cost as authentic followers. The...

​What makes someone a “narrow way” person? According to Jesus, you’ll know narrow way people by the fruit of their character … and by their obedience to the Father. And as we move forward in our Bold Steps series called, Fan or Follower, Pastor Mark Jobe will continue our study in the book of Matthew. If you have your Bibles handy, we’re in chapter 7, and we’re learning about people who are not just fans of Jesus … but true followers.

Being a true "follower" of Jesus means making some difficult choices … and doing things that might make us uncomfortable. But, as we'll learn today, Jesus often did hard things and He had some hard sayings that were difficult for us hear too. … Pastor Mark Jobe says that we could have called this series, "The Hard Sayings of Jesus," instead of Fan or Follower because going through the "narrow way" is a constant challenge. We can't just skip ahead and just go the easy route; that would cause...

​As we move forward in our new Bold Steps series called, Fan or Follower, Pastor Mark Jobe will describe four distinct responses to the Gospel entering a human heart. In His parable, Jesus calls these responses the “four soils,” … and we’ll be turning to the book of Matthew, Chapter 13 to learn more. Can you identify which one is you? The message is titled, Knowing the Difference.

​Well, mid-July is usually the half-way point in baseball. But with the lack of sports available this summer due to the Coronavirus restrictions, it's a bit of an understatement to say that many fans and followers are having a hard time. Today on Bold Steps Pastor Mark Jobe begins our new series... we're going to be talking about Knowing the Difference when it comes to being just a fan or a true follower of Christ.

Today on Bold Steps, Mark will be discussing a topic that most people shy away from. It’s a subject that can sabotage our spiritual walk, if left unchecked. Shame can easily overtake our emotions and skew our perceptions as it shapes our attitudes, our thoughts, and our daily lives. But Pastor Mark Jobe says that there is good news and a cure to Shedding Shame.

​Some things in life are hard to hold onto. Youth … it's fleeting. Money … it goes fast. Friends … move and change with the seasons. And then what about your sunglasses or your waistline? There really isn't anything that doesn't fade... except possibly one thing. It's … Joy. It affects our perspective on all of life. It provides an energy to our soul, and without it, we're left with a sluggish spirit and sadness about everything. Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us learn how to...

​Well, with summer in full swing, your yard is probably pretty lush and green. But what would have happened if you had not taken the steps to remove the weeds back in the spring? Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe concludes a message he started yesterday that focuses our attention on what to do when we experience hurt and pain. It’s simply titled, Hurt, and we’ll be learning that like the weeds that grow in our yards, if we don’t face our hurts and disappointments, they can quickly...

​Most of us have heard the motivational phrase … Life is 10% of what happens to you … and 90% of how you respond to it. And when it comes to dealing with the hurt and pain of our lives, you might agree...

Or, we can take those hurts and turn them into something that make us stronger … Today's message called, Hurt.

​Over the past week on Bold Steps, we've been in our current series called, Facing Your Feelings, and we've been looking at how different types of emotions affect us. Pastor Mark Jobe has given us biblical pointers on diffusing anger … and tools to help us dissuade feelings of discouragement. And we've even learned how to filter criticisms and identify weak spots in our lives. If you have your Bible handy, let's turn to the book of Nehemiah to uncover how he was able to stand in the face of...
