Today on Bold Steps … Pastor Mark Jobe begins a new message about the timing of God. In life we all have “drama”.

To withstand the trials and temptations of the world, we have to be spiritually resilient. And we’re learning how, today on Bold Steps.

In yesterday’s program, he established the first three key habits that lead to spiritual resiliency. First, we must establish and guard our daily time with God.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’re learning about the penalty that comes with sin. Romans 3:23 says that ALL have sinned and fallen short of God’s standards. But does that mean we have no hope … or no way of reconnecting with God? Mark will help answer those questions as we discover the truth about an absolute core Christian belief … the gift of salvation. This message comes for our study we’ve titled, Why We Believe … and Mark simply titled it … Salvation.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe explains man’s great need for salvation. There are words and phrases that represent the most crucial doctrines in the Christian faith … words and phrases such as … How to be right with God, Salvation, Born-again believer, Follower of Jesus Christ … what it means to be saved. But these don’t necessarily translate across denominational lines or even from church to church. So, how do we cut through the misinformation? Many people may think they understand what salvation means (taught as a child, emotional experience, etc.). But today, Mark wants to correct any misconceptions people might have and create a clear picture of what these terms mean surrounding key beliefs. We need to have a strong spiritual foundation. Today’s message regarding Salvation … comes from our series titled, Why We Believe.
