Real Life with Jack Hibbs

Today, Pastor Jack tells us that for the true Christian, “combat-faith” will become our reality. It is having joy in the face of our enemies. And, a joy that is on alert means to rejoice in the Lord, and nothing else, because He is unmoved in the presence of evil and always in control of every situation.

It is the servant leaders who will give up their lives to supply what is lacking in the church. For their acts of selflessness and compassion have an eternal perspective. The true Gospel of Christ is worthy of our total being and sacrifice. The post Friends And Foes In The Fellowship 2C first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Jesus is our pattern for living, and His servant leaders will be our guide. Together, we are messengers of God’s eternal Word. United, we are partners in His work. Our mission? To bring the lost world an opportunity for salvation. The post Friends And Foes In The Fellowship 2B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

The most valuable things in life cannot be bought. When we begin to slow down and look at our lives, we start to realize what’s really important. And, this includes friends. Timothy and Epaphroditus were Paul’s friends and bond servants through thick and thin. They were not only trustworthy, they were also fellow followers of Christ. They disregarded their own well-being, but ministered to Paul in his time of need. The post Friends And Foes In The Fellowship 2A first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

On today’s program, Pastor Jack tells us that our faithful friends will be few in number. But, loving and honest friendships will be proven in character, and stand with us through trial, difficulties and hardships. The post Friends And Foes In The Fellowship 1C first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Even though Timothy was a young man, he was faithful, and similar in spirit with Paul. Timothy genuinely loved the Philippians, and was a true friend that Paul could trust. The post Friends And Foes In The Fellowship 1B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today, Pastor Jack tells us that it’s our radical desperation that draws us to Christ. He makes us pure again, as He is pure. In spiritual things we cannot bless others unless we, ourselves, have been blessed and built up first. The post It’s Time To Get Up and Go – 1B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

When Jesus touched the desperate man with leprosy and cleansed him, it’s the same as our deep need for Jesus to help us, and cleanse us with a simple touch of his hand. The post It’s Time To Get Up and Go – 1A first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Paul’s trust was ultimately in the Lord Jesus, and so should it be for us! Many Christians are not trustworthy. They think only of themselves, and therefore, only pursue their own interests. The friends we fellowship with need to be, by virtue, a disciple of Christ. But, we cannot just make oneness happen, or simply order it to be so. Only friends with a heart for God will sincerely care for our well-being, and unite with us in furthering the Gospel message.

When we live a life for God, we are accepting His forgiveness and grace. To hand over our sins to Jesus is to invite Him into our lives. To break away from our own selfish desires is to embrace the new life He wants to give us. The post What To Do When Jesus Calls – C first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

When Jesus calls, we are to listen, and obey. To do what Jesus asks us to do may be a challenge, even uncomfortable, but we’ll be blessed when we obey. Awareness of our stubborn will is the first step towards salvation, even Heaven itself. The post What To Do When Jesus Calls – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today, Pastor Jack tells us that from the vantage point of the boat, Jesus could be seen and heard more clearly. The connection now became more personal, and the crowd could experience more of Him. Whether privately or publicly, Jesus wants us to know His very being, His plan, and His desires. The post What To Do When Jesus Calls – A first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today, Pastor Jack tells us that if Jesus were to come near to us, He’ll respond to our needs personally. But, how would we treat Him? What would He hear from us? Or, deeper still, what would He find hidden within us? The post When Jesus Comes Near – C first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Jesus gives us the real reason for life and living. He exposes the darkness simply through the testimony of who He is. If we were to remove Jesus from our lives, we would have nothing left but emptiness and confusion. The post When Jesus Comes Near – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

People have their reasons for following Jesus. But, one thing was for sure, wherever Jesus went, He brought light and life, teaching the people about themselves, and about God. The post When Jesus Comes Near – A first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today, Pastor Jack tells us that the Gospel is the ultimate in scope. It’s not only a personal event, it’s a global invitation. When we’re confronted with death and eternity, God wants us in Heaven. But, there’s only one way to get there, and that is through His Son Jesus Christ. The post It’s A Matter Of Life And Death – C first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Salvation is a global invitation. There is no one beyond the hope of God’s love. It’s why we need to invite others to know Jesus, and not exclude them, no matter who they are, or their background. The post It’s A Matter Of Life And Death – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today, Pastor Jack shares with us that Jesus is now back in His hometown and regardless of His fame and miracles, they’re treating Him with skepticism and contempt. They viewed Him as common, and missed His Gospel message with their prejudice. The post It’s A Matter Of Life And Death – A first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

When we consider Jesus, we need to look into our own lives. We must not be slow to believe in Him. Every time we hear the Good News, and refuse Him, we are pushing Him away, maybe for the last time. The post What You Should Know About Jesus Christ – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.
