​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 grab and hold onto it!

​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 overtake our lives … and become deep roots of bitterness.

​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... Pastor Mark Jobe says that we all have a choice whether or not to let the frustrations and pain of other people's decisions discourage and disable us. 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 opposition … and how we can, too!

Remember the classic '80's tune by Randy Stonehill, Shut De Do (Keep Out De Devil)? In today's Bold Steps 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 … and Pastor Mark Jobe says, when we let anger fester, it keeps the poison in our lives and we want to keep the poison out.... so SHUT DE DO!
