Anger - Part 2
We changed up the beginning of the program a little today. And maybe you recognized that tune from the early 80’s. But if you didn’t … it’s Randy Stonehill’s Shut De Do (Keep Out the Devil). In today’s message, we’re going to be discussing that exact point … because when we open the door just a little, we’re giving the enemy the opportunity to bring all kinds of trouble into our lives. When we let anger fester, it keeps the poison in our flowing and we want to keep the poison out!

What It Means to Restore Our God-Given ID - Part 2
If we want to live a more godly life, Pastor Mark Jobe says it doesn’t just take a renewal of our spirit … but also a renewal of our mind. So often in Christian circles we discuss the importance of what it means to be spiritually "reborn" … and to reposition our hearts with God. But a big part of this transformation that sometimes gets overlooked, is the need to renew our minds. That’s the subject Mark is unpacking in today’s Bold Steps message titled … What it Means to Restore Our God-Given ID.
What It Means to Restore Our God-Given ID - Part 1
Today on Bold Steps, we’re learning how to get beyond our narrow, earthly perspective … to see the world through God’s perspective. As believers in Christ, our struggle on Earth is between two extremes, or rather, two natures. In the Bible, Paul refers to these natures as the “old and new man”. Pastor Mark Jobe is going to expand on this concept and help us learn how to start living with a “heavenly perspective” in a message originally preached at New Life Community Church (Chicago) in October of 2022 … and it’s called … What it Means to Restore Our God-Given ID.

Real Transformation - Part 2
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.
Real Transformation - Part 1
Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us tap into the spiritual strength that every Christian has been given, but perhaps been overlooking. In today’s self-help culture, we’re hooked on the idea of self-betterment and doing all we can to improve ourselves. And that may be fine and good, but you’re going to remind us that, spiritually, if we are believers and have the Holy Spirit, then we already have God’s DIVINE POWER inside of us to start living for God RIGHT NOW. It’s a matter of accessing this power that you ALREADY HAVE in Christ to start to live for Him. We’re going to talk about what this POWER is and then get into the PROMISES that come with it.
