Today on Bold Steps Global, Pastor Mark Jobe shows us how God is working behind the scenes, preparing us for divine appointments. Have you ever missed an appointment?  Maybe with your doctor? Something with your kids’ school?  Or perhaps even a court appearance?  Missing appointments is not a good feeling.  We’ve all experienced this. There are a lot of people listening who God has called to mission, but many are missing those appointments/opportunities God has set up for them.

Today on Bold Steps Global with Pastor Mark Jobe… we’re bringing a glimpse of the Kingdom of God to you. As we move forward in our study called Roll Up Your Sleeves, we’re learning that the Kingdom has come near … and because of it, we’ve got work to do!  As carriers of God’s presence, we’re supposed to go out and share His message. Mark will encourage and challenge us to bring the hope and joy of God to a dark and lost world.

Today on Bold Steps Global with Pastor Mark Jobe, a challenge to get more workers into the field sharing the Gospel. In the book of Luke, chapter ten, Jesus has a simple, yet powerful command for those He has called into His service. Mark is going to challenge you to get busy doing the work that God has called you to do.  Spiritual work is hard!  And the harvest is bigger than the work force right now … So, we need people to step up right now, right where they are.

Today on Bold StepsGlobal with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’re learning to live out our faith in BOLD ways. The disciples were used by God as a powerful witness to the people around them.  So much so, that they were often accused of having their faith “splashed” around.  So, what about you?  Do others know where you stand?  Does your faith in God have action?  In today’s message called, The Splash Effect, Mark challenges us to live in a radial way so that God will change the hearts of the people around us.

Today on Bold Steps Globalwith Pastor Mark Jobe, we’ll see how God’s hold on your life affects everyone around you as we begin a new series of messages that will shed some light on the topic of spiritual empowerment.  Mark will be leading us through the book Acts, showing us how believers have a greater power and influence to fulfill their mission than they realize. He likens it to swimming in a pool.  When you’re there, there’s a whole lot of splashing going on … and it’s the same way with our faith!  When you’re around people, you should be splashing them with the Good News of the Gospel.

When you head to work, are you fueled with passion for God’s plan?  Or do you feel stuck simply working for the weekend?  That’s the subject of today’s BOLD STEPS GLOBAL with Pastor Mark Jobe. We’ll be looking at misconceptions about our work and our calling, as we reconsider just how important our work really is to God … no matter where we are, or what we’re doing.

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us revaluate how what we do for a living can tie in to the calling God has for us. Have you heard of the restaurant chain here in the U.S. called, TGIF?  It stands for, Thank God It’s Friday.  Many people live with that mindset that work is simply to be endured … a duty to be suffered through Monday through Friday, and then you can rest.  But God has a different perspective on how to view what you do. Mark is going to help us see that work is part of God’s design and is actually a spiritual CALLING for us.

Today on Bold Steps Global, Pastor Mark Jobe shows us how to choose our fights from a spiritual perspective. We’re continuing our study on Fighting the Battles that Matter. Earlier, we learned the importance of fighting against worldly temptations … and choosing to take a stand for our purity.  And in the second part of our message, Mark began highlighting a few battles in life that actually aren’t worth fighting … moments when the pursuit of peace is more important than the pursuit of victory.  So, join us in 2nd Timothy chapter 2, verse 22 … as Mark concludes the third and final part of a message titled, Choose Your Fight.

Today on Bold Steps Global with Pastor Mark Jobe … we’re learning how to choose our battles and pursue peace. Last time, we kicked-off a powerful new study on the spiritual significance of Fighting the Battles that Matter.  In 2nd Timothy, chapter 2, we learned how to take up the fight for our purity … a fight that our culture constantly seeks to undermine.  Mark highlighted the dangers of worldly temptation and gave a stern warning on the potency and severity of sexual immorality.  Today, we’ll discover how to fight harder for the things that matter … and how to avoid the battles that shouldn’t be fought, to begin with.

Choosing how to handle our battles from a spiritual perspective … that’s today’s topic on Bold Steps Globalwith Pastor Mark Jobe.     Life is full of different battles … and while some are worth fighting for, there are others that are better avoided.  To help us know the difference … we’ll be in 2nd Timothy chapter 2 looking at the three battles worth fighting for: Purity, Peace, and People and the importance of choosing your battles.

For some of us, we feel like we have a lot to be thankful for in life right now … but it’s also true that there are many people today who are going through times where gratitude just doesn’t feel warranted. Maybe in their finances or their health, or maybe there’s trouble going on in their families. Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe is going to shift our focus off of what’s happening around us … and get a better understanding of what God wants to do inside of us.  Because it turns out, gratitude is about much more than just responding to good times.

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe has a perspective-changing lesson on how to handle our temptation … to complain. Last time, we began a message about a seemingly simple subject … the topic of complaining.  We all do it, and unfortunately, it’s one of those things that gets easier and easier to fall into the more we do it.  That’s why combating our instinct to grumble is so important!  There will always be problems, struggles, and uncertainties in this life … but how we choose to respond to them makes all the difference.

You may think that complaining is just a natural response, a simple way of expressing how we feel.  Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe warns about the danger of grumbling. With Thanksgiving coming up next week, we wanted to share a message he gave to students here at MBI on the need to move beyond grumbling and complaining.  And this is aimed at EVERYONE.  We all have a tendency to gripe and complain from time to time, but Mark is going to emphasize the importance of fighting The Grumble.

Sometimes, life can feel overwhelming, and we just want to pull away.  But today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe calls us to step out of our cave and follow God’s call. Now more than ever, life seems to be filled with noise … whether it’s the bickering we see on TV or the discord we face with our own neighbors and family.  But Mark is reminding us of where we’re meant to be centering our attention, and how to find God’s voice even during life’s storms.  It’s a lesson from 1 Kings chapter 19, called Come out of the Cave.

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe explains what to do when we feel stuck … in a spiritual cave. There are A LOT of things around us right now that are creating noise.  Politics, division, uncertainty about economics, anxiety, depression, the list goes on.  And it raises a pivotal question in our spiritual lives … how do we hear God in middle of it all?  Mark is going to help us understand that we need to listen for His voice, and that hearing God might take some effort on our part.

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe is calling us to step up in our faith and take on the fights God is calling us to take. If you have your Bible with you, you’re going to want to open to Judges chapter 7 … where we’re learning from the story of Gideon about how powerful our God truly is … even when we feel practically powerless.  It’s an empowering message from Mark’s series called What on Earth Am I Here For? The lesson is titled … What’s Holding Me Back?

What’s holding you back from being fully used by God’s power?  We’re unpacking that answer today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL with Pastor Mark Jobe. As we continue with the story of Gideon, we’re going to see how God uses the weak to confound the strong.  How God can use us even though we feel unusable.  There is some great encouragement on the way for many listening today as we’ll see in Judges 7 that God’s power is perfected in our weakness.

What do you really believe about your identity?  Do you see your potential the same way God does?  That’s the question, today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL with Pastor Mark Jobe. We’re continuing a powerful lesson all about our God-given identity.  Last time, Mark revealed something truly profound that many of us may fail to realize about ourselves … and that’s that who we are today, and the life we’re currently living … isn’t necessarily the identity we’re called to have.  Join us for the conclusion of the message ... Who Am I?

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us answer the profound question … Who Am I? There are many things that can shape us in life.  But there’s nothing more at the core of who we are than our spiritual identity and how we see ourselves in relation to God.  Mark is heading in that direction with this next round of messages, and they focus on how God sees us ... and it’s not always who we are right now, but rather, who we are called to be.

Are you hungry for more of God’s glory?  We’re finding out what that means, and how it can change your life … today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL with Pastor Mark Jobe. We’re diving into the final message of our series in Exodus, with a message titled … I Want More.  Mark has been talking about what spiritual hunger looks like, and how it can drive us to ask God for more of His will in our lives … unlocking strength and opportunities we may never have imagined.

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe shows us what it means to be spiritually hungry and how we need to continually work on developing our passion and desire for MORE of God. That hunger creates a need for God’s presence and an unwillingness to move forward without it. The message is from Exodus 33 and titled, I Want More.

Today onBOLD STEPS GLOBAL… Pastor Mark Jobe helps restore our awareness of God’s ultimate provision. Right now, we’re in a powerful study series on the book of Exodus.  We’ve been learning from the example of the Israelites just how easy it is for us to stray from the path God intended … due to our own impatience, or outright distrust for God’s provision.  While the desires and trials might differ between us and those of ancient days … we’re finding that we all struggle with the same temptation do things our way … when we’re tired of waiting for God.

When we’re caught in one of life’s waiting periods … sometimes we’re tempted to force a change.  Pastor Mark Jobe has a warning on that, today onBOLD STEPS GLOBAL.  As we continue our series in Exodus, we’re going to see how when we’re in a position of waiting for something, sometimes we can be tempted to reach back to things which are not what God intends for us.

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’re moving from grumbling to gratitude.Today is a pretty big day here in America … it’s Election Day.  And as we make our choices about the future of our government, Mark has an important lesson about handling the blessings that God has given us … the right way.  It’s a message about obedience and perspective from the book of Exodus.

Today onBOLD STEPS GLOBAL… Pastor Mark Jobe helps us realize just how powerful an attitude of gratitude really is. The subject of gratitude may seem subtle … but it really is so powerful when it comes from our relationship with God and spreads out into our day-to-day life.  No matter how far back we look, mankind has always struggled with the temptation to grumble … and the Israelites in Exodus 16 we no exception. Join us as we learn to Move from Grumbling to Gratitude.

Is there something in your past holding you back from what God wants for your future?  Find out today, on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL with Pastor Mark Jobe. Most of us have one or two things in our past we wish we could go back and undo. Thankfully, God’s grace and redemptive power can wash our slate clean. But in today’s program we’re discussing how certain unresolved issues from our past … can actually stand in the way of God’s calling for our lives.  It’s a message titled When We Have Unfinished Business.

Today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL, Pastor Mark Jobe reveals why dealing with our past is essential to moving forward with God’s call for our lives. We’re continuing our series in Exodus ... and Mark will be explaining why some of the unresolved issues of our past can actually keep us from the specific call God has for our life.

No matter what’s happened in your life story … God has a plan.  That’s the lesson today on BOLD STEPS GLOBAL with Pastor Mark Jobe. We’re at the start of a new series in Exodus where Mark is opening our eyes to the incredible truth that God is always at work in our lives … even, and sometimes especially when we don’t see it.  At times, life has a way of making us feel as though we’ve gone off the tracks … derailed by some tragedy or accident.  But according to the Word of God … there’s no detour that He can’t resolve.

There are many strong opinions about this particular presidential election. With many pastors and teachers being hesitant to address it, Mark believes that for Christians, it’s important to make sure that our perspective, which can be so focused on earthly matters, is filtered through a heavenly lens. When it comes to politics, it’s so easy to get swept up and overwhelmed by all the mess around us. We see the corruption. We see the brokenness. And we really just want to do the right thing. Today on Bold Steps Global, Mark wants to encourage us to fortify their identity first as citizens of God’s Kingdom … so we can take confident, Christ-honoring steps down here on earth.

Today on Bold Steps Global with Pastor Mark Jobe … we’re learning how to work in conjunction with God’s plan … not our own.It’s easy for us to want to do things our own way … but when it comes to the things of God, it’s important that we follow God’s plan … and not our own. Join us for the conclusion of, Being A Carrier.

Today on Bold Steps Global, Pastor Mark Jobe explains what it means to be a “carrier”. We’ll step inside a Moody Bible Institute student chapel service and here a challenge that we all have a responsibility to carry the broken and those who are weak in faith into the presence of Jesus. We’ll hear the story of 4 men who were moved to action, bringing their friend to the presence of Jesus, defying obstacles and ridicule of others. Join us in Luke chapter 5 with a message titled, Being A Carrier.

But sadly enough, when it comes to our relationship with God … many people end up settling for a lackluster faith, one of apathy and lukewarmness.  Today, Mark shows us how to rekindle the spark and revive the passion … with part two of a message he’s titled … Regain What Was Lost: Your Spiritual Passion.
