Moody Bible Institute Launches New Sermon Series on Ecclesiastes

Moody Bible Institute has released a new episode of its radio program, Bold Steps, featuring a teaching segment on Ecclesiastes chapter 11. The episode, dated November 2, 2026, focuses on the concept of maintaining generosity despite uncertain economic and personal conditions. The central message advises listeners to continue investing time and resources, described as sowing, without waiting for guaranteed returns.

Pastor Mark Jobe serves as the host and primary voice for the series. Jobe is the founding pastor of New Life Community Church, a multi-campus organization based in Chicago. The church operates more than 25 locations across the city. Jobe also founded New Life Centers, a program that serves thousands of at-risk youth in the Chicago area. Before his current ministry roles, he served as the president of Moody Bible Institute.

The teaching segment argues that life is inherently unpredictable, but divine consistency provides a stable foundation for decision-making. Jobe suggests that waiting for perfect conditions often results in inaction. Instead, he urges a strategy of perseverance during the interval between initial effort and final outcome. The episode frames this perseverance as a form of surrender to a predetermined purpose.

The program includes a specific promotional gift for listeners, featuring the book Jesus In Me by Anne Graham Lotz. The series is designed to offer candid, topical teaching from the Bible, aiming to provide simple gospel messages that transform daily life. Jobe shares his ministry work with his wife, Dee, who is mentioned in the program's biographical materials.

The episode is part of a continuing series that explores freedom and authenticity in Christian faith. The broadcast is available for those who visit or watch the content associated with New Life Community Church. Moody Global Media holds the copyright for the 2026 content produced for this initiative.
