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.

Today on Bold Steps … Pastor Mark Jobe has an encouraging message for Strong Moms. Over this Mother’s Day weekend, many of us were able to honor our moms, either by remembering them or spending time with them … and we thought we’d keep the celebration going for more than just one day! We're going to be in 1 Samuel looking at a mom who had a "toughness" about her. I think there may be a listener today who’s going to relate and be encouraged by the story... of Hannah.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe asks, what is holding you back from being a full-on worshipper of God?

Have you lost your praise? Today on Bold Steps, how to find it and lift your voice to God again. We're going to be looking at Psalm 118 which says, give thanks to the Lord for He is good and His love endures forever. An attitude is key! 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
