Real Life with Jack Hibbs

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Christ will return at a time of great unbelief, when religion is popular, but hearts are far from Him. For the Christ follower, however, this is not a day to fear, since we will be coming again with Jesus Himself.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the second coming must be compared to His first coming, a real, physical arrival to this earth. Just as the disciples watched Jesus rise from the Mount of Olives, that same Jesus will bodily return, and every eye will see Him.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Israel is God's appointed timepiece, and everything is unfolding exactly as He said it would. When we see prophecy coming to life before our eyes, it should draw us closer to the Savior who holds the future in His hands.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the tribulation is still future, and the signs pointing toward it are all around us. But for the Christian, these events aren't cause for fear, they're a reminder that God is in control and His Word is coming true.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus could come at any moment, and no prophecy needs to be fulfilled before He does. So living with that expectation changes how we walk, drawing us to holiness and away from the things of this world.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the rapture is our blessed hope, and it was promised by Jesus Himself. He told us He's gone to prepare a place for us, and that He'll come again to bring us home.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that angels reveal God and minister to believers, even escorting us into His presence at death. But that comfort belongs only to those who truly know Christ.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that angels have a mission to serve God, and they stand ready to do it. They minister to us, and they're at work in our lives even when we don't see them.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the angels were created with a passion to worship God. They never grow tired or bored, and if we're honest, they must wonder why we don't praise Him with that same joy.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus made the ultimate commitment for His church, paying a debt on the cross that we could never pay. He alone comforts us, guides us, and He's with us not only as we fellowship together, but every step of the way.

Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that the church is so much more than a building we gather in. But, before we can ever understand what a church is, we must first fix our eyes on the one who created it and the one who gives it life, Jesus Christ.

Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that believing in Jesus is only the beginning. We're also called to receive Him, trust in Him, and remain close to Him every day. The closer we stay to Him, the more our faith is strengthened, and the more our doubts and fears begin to fade away.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus is the only one who can truly relate to us and faithfully intercede for us. He knows our weaknesses and understands every struggle we face. He sits at the Father's right hand, He's always ready to hear from us when we come to Him in prayer.

Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that coming to Christ is far deeper than a moment, or a decision. It's realizing He is the one worthy of our trust. Real faith isn't just believing in him, it's surrendering every part of our lives to him, no matter where He leads.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that deep down, every heart already carries the weight of guilt, no matter how well we hide it. And when we finally come to Jesus and admit our need, that guilt is gone, and we're truly free.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that, apart from Christ, we are without hope and without a future of Heaven. His death on the cross opens the way to not only forgiveness, but a new life that only He can give.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that redemption is not only initiated, but accepted, and completed entirely by God. Jesus paid for our sins in full, so we can stop striving and simply rest in what He's already done.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that every person, in every culture, is searching for a way to be made right with God. We can't buy it, work for it, or hand it off to someone else, because Christ alone is our Redeemer.

Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that Jesus isn't just a great teacher, or prophet. He is God, the great I Am, existing from eternity past and forever into eternity. The One who laid down His life for us, is the very God who created us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the Father, Son, and Spirit are perfectly one, each fully God, each equal in power. And, when we see how they work together in love, we discover a God whose desire is to be known by us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God is one in essence, yet three distinct persons. It sounds impossible, but once we see it in Scripture, it changes what we know about the God we love, and who loves us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that rejecting Christ isn't really about the evidence at all. It's a decision made from the heart. If Christ is real, then we're accountable to Him, and that's exactly what He's calling us to embrace.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus Christ isn't just present in creation, He is the Creator of it. The Lord who made the heavens and the earth is the very same Jesus who came to redeem us, and that changes everything we were led to believe about our existence.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that creation itself testifies of God, not of evolution. From the stars in space to a single blade of grass, the design we see all around us points towards a creator behind it all.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus came to heal with authority, over suffering, and even over death itself. It's why understanding His purpose can reshape the way we see God, His offer of healing and His desire to save us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus came to preach, reaching both the heart and the mind of every person who listened. When the gospel is preached, decisions are made and lives are changed.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when Jesus taught, He spoke with an authority that drew people in instead of pushing them away. His teaching whispered obedience, painted pictures, and brought assurance to everyone who heard Him speak.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus came to liberate not just one nation, but the whole world, including us. We are the treasure hidden in the field, and the pearl of great price He gave up everything to win. It's an awesome message worth repeating, and we need to share it with all who will listen.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus came to fulfill every word that was written about Him. His birth, His teachings, His miracles, and His death and resurrection were all part of Bible prophecy. So, we need to take an honest look at how the Old Testament announced His mission, and how the New Testament records it coming to pass.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus took our place in judgment by meeting the demands of Biblical law that we could never meet. Everything Christ said and did, even His death and resurrection had a purpose, and that was to bring salvation to everyone who comes to Him.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus is God's example for how we're meant to live. He resisted temptation, trusted the Father, and loved unconditionally, showing us we can do the same by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus came to reveal the very nature of God to us. When we look at how Jesus loved, taught, and forgave, we're seeing the Father Himself, stepping into human life in a real and personal way.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Christ's first coming was real, witnessed by many, and life-changing for all. People saw Him, heard Him, and touched Him, and that one humble arrival changed the entire course of human history.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus is the only person in all of history who came not only down from Heaven, but it was promised in advance. From Genesis to the prophets, God told us exactly how to recognize His Son when He comes.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when the Bible calls Jesus the Son of God, it means He is fully God, equal with the Father. And it's at His name, and His name alone, that every knee will one day bow and confess that He is Lord.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus is over all things, holding the whole creation together by the power of His word. The same Lord who named the stars and orchestrates the heavens is the One who governs every moment of our lives.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus existed before all things, before the universe, even before the spiritual realm. The Bible calls Jesus the Word who was with God and who was God, the eternal "I am" with no beginning and no end.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of duty means doing the will of God, even though the rough times. Following Jesus isn't always easy, but it's always worth it. God has challenged each of us to do great things for His kingdom while we still have the freedom and the opportunity to do so.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that knowing God's will naturally leads to desiring God's will. When the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives, we find ourselves wanting what God wants and embracing a more excellent way.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of duty starts with knowing God's will. We can't serve effectively until we understand God's specific plan for our lives. When we seek Him through His Word and prayer, He promises to instruct us and teach us in the way we should go.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that durability means drawing closer to God, especially during hard and dangerous times. Trouble is not a reason to quit. A strong believer follows Christ, not just in word, but in actions as well.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we need to resist false doctrine and fight against evil in our world. As believers, we can't just be spectators while darkness advances around us. Instead, we're called to stand firm on God's Word, even when it's hard or unpopular.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we must consider what's at stake. Our faith in Jesus Christ is the most valuable thing we have, and everything else in life depends on it. When we understand the eternal significance of staying faithful, it changes how we approach every challenge.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that doubt must be overcome, and it can be overcome through faith and God's Word. It's the only weapon strong enough to defeat doubt. Daily devotional time with the Lord not only pushes any doubt we have away, it deepens our trust, and keeps us growing spiritually.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that doubt must be defeated at all costs. Doubt robs our spirit, destroys our hope, and kills our future by blinding us to what God is doing in our lives. Like a spiritual infection, doubt can poison our entire walk with Christ.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that doubt must be confronted head on. We can't ignore it, we can't pretend it's not there. Doubt is a killer that will systematically destroy our faith. It's why we have to face it and fight it with everything we have.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that being dominated by Christ brings power, joy, and love we could never find on our own. When we hand Jesus the key to every room of our lives, we finally start living for others, just like He did.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we need the Holy Spirit more than ever in these last days. When we ask God to fill us and lead us, He answers, and the real us comes under His loving control.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of domination begins with refusing to let our flesh run the show. When our feelings, our eyes, or our pride start calling the shots, we have to surrender it all to God instead.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that resisting distraction takes a preoccupation with the things of God. When we seek His kingdom first and stay vigilant, even the good things in our lives won't crowd out our walk with the Lord.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we conquer distraction by building a daily devotional life with God. When we make time for Him before the world starts screaming at us, we find a calm and a strength that everyone around us will notice.
