Standing firm means sticking out

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with surrendered, lasting obedience — not a faith that bends when it’s challenged. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, we teach God’s Word with clarity and conviction, calling people to an authentic faith that endures in every season.Today’s Message“The Cost of Standing Firm” – Live with Lee ArnoldScripture: Jeremiah 38:1–28In Jeremiah 38, the prophet Jeremiah boldly speaks God’s truth in a culture that rejects it. Instead of being celebrated, he is opposed, silenced, and thrown into a pit — all for obeying God. This chapter reveals the reality every believer must face:Standing for truth will bring pressure, opposition, and sacrifice — but obedience always honors God.Key Takeaways• Truth often sounds like treason to a culture committed to compromise• Weak leadership enables evil when fear replaces conviction• Obedience to God does not guarantee comfort — it may bring hardship• God always has a faithful remnant watching• Fear of people will keep us from God’s best• Hearing truth is not the same as obeying truthToday’s ReminderMany people want God’s blessing, protection, and provision —but resist His instruction, correction, and authority.Jeremiah refused to compromise, even when obedience cost him everything.King Zedekiah heard the truth — but feared people more than God.The question Jeremiah 38 asks each of us is simple:Will we choose comfort and compromise… or pressure and obedience?Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – Interactive discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God’s WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026📅 October 2–3, 2026🎟️ Tickets & info at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly for Christ.💛 Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah38 #StandingFirm #ObedienceOverFear #FaithInAction #SundaySermon #BibleTeaching #ChristianFaith #LiveBoldly
