I asked God if it was time to leave California because it was too hard for me to afford to live there. I felt in my heart God saying to have faith and I needed to be in Texas. I now help others here by teaching His word truthfully. I do it without cost to anyone. I give freely because it was freely given to me. God is always amazing
I do not have a church anymore. The church I did attend was methodist but the people were I think amazing. Pastor Lisch was a real spiritual man.He was stricken with a very aggressive brain cancer and died. I haven't been there since. The church was attacked by the LGBTQ WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE and they didnt give in. There are more circumstances involved. Should I go back for a visit?
I got a pink slip from my church because I asked them to turn the laser lights away from down into peoples eyes. This was considered criticizing and it was strongly suggested that I go to another church. I was in PAIN, but they don’t care. All about the entertainment, bright lights, cloud fog and loud LOUD MUSIC, that is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. Their messages were very good, which is tHe only reason I stayed. Think I’ll stay with Pastor Jack!
The first time I walked into a church with fog, strobe lights and loud loud music, I would turn right around and leave. Before I came to Christ over twenty yrs ago I went to bars that had all that worldly devilish stuff and a church is no place for it.
I had to leave a church because they wouldn't lower the music volume by 5 dB - I have a disability that makes it painful and horribly awful if music is to loud. I was in PAIN as well, and after 2 years of trying - I had to leave.
I left a church because they sanctioned a 35 yr old man dating a just turned 16yr old who had just lost her father. I was horrifyed. No one would listen. Still haven't found a home church but I am blessed to have you Jack & Amir & so many others far away but preaching the Truth. Dark days but the light shines very bright in this darkness.
I attend your church online from Indiana. I know there are no churches around here with a Pastor like you. I accepted Jesus after watching you and Tom Hughes In the documentary "The Convergence" After seeing you in that I knew I wanted to hear more from you. After I saw my first sermon on YT. I was hooked and not going anywhere else. My faith and walk with Jesus have grown exponentially. God is definitely walking with you, Pastor Jack. I was depressed, Anxious an alcoholic, and a marijuana smoker for many years and on lots of medication. I am 56. It was rough that first 2 years, but Jesus got me through it all. No more depression, or anxiety. no Alcohol, marijuana, or any medications. I am living my best life for the Lord and my family. I want to Thank God for sending me to you and For your way of making the word of God move in my life. God Bless you and your family!
This is why I left the church about a year ago. The preaching was all about me me me and they forgot who Jesus really was and what his word says. Now the Lord is leading me and we have home Bible studies and we are doing what the Lord wants us to do.
We are stuck in the mud on this issue. We were going to a Christian church nearby. I volunteered to serve as an usher but had to quit for health reasons. They cater to young families. We are retired. They just finished a building fund for the kids of the young families. I withdrew my donations. This church is close geographically but so far have not found the right one. We could walk to a Catholic Church but we are not going there. My gut says no to these churches. I get frustrated over a lack of correct places to go here, but we listen to you on TV for now. I wish you were close enough to attend in person. Love you addressing this topic! 👍
Do you have any Calvary Chapel churches near by? Any with in an hour drive, or even a two hour drive? No matter how small, they may need you to help them grow and eventually plant churches in your area causing good churches to grow in your area. If no Calvary Chapel churches in your area, then good to watch them online. When evangalizing I give links to Calvary Chapel churches online. Better people hear Calvary Chapel preaching than catholism etc. Don't be afraid to invite people to online churches if you can't find a place near by to invite them too.
@@paulmaguire5330I have both visited and looked up Calvary churches nearby but no success here. Next attempt will reach further. Thank you for the ideas and thoughts. 👍
I am in Australia, The Lord told me many years ago before I was born again, Go to Church, this is your last chance.I knew I would never hear the voice of the Lord again if I didn’t, I asked the Lord, Which one. He said, I don’t care, any, but He knew where I was to go. I have been a member of that church for over 40 years now and I believe my husband and I are planted there by God Himself . We have been sent out from our church as missionaries to Papua New Guinea. I also know that until the Lord leads us out we must stay. We cannot plant ourselves, no plant, plants itself unless it is a weed! I love watching Jacks messages on you tube. Jack you are a brilliant teacher. I also love my church. Many years ago, I heard the word that we are pillars.
I watch the Wednesday night sermons with the "can't wait 'til 7 pm" feeling I recall having back in the day for my favorite weekly TV show. Pastor Jack is a gifted -teacher, entertainer (he KNOWS how to insert a LOL at just the appropriate time) and relevant. You want to kept up on the news? Tune in every Wedneday night (and Sunday). The word of God is ALIVE at Calvary, Thank you Pastor Jack. 💝✝
You are so right Pastor Jack! Think of money as a tool and not as an asset. It has been provided to us by God to live and to use for His glory. Praise God for everything! 🙏🏼🇨🇦
@paulmaguire5330 they have some short comings too like any church. Don't put God or His church in a box. But I do agree with you that they are excellent as I actually do attend Jack Hibbs church in Chino Hills every Sunday just about. Love Mike Winger too who was a CC Pastor. Great church. But man, keep an open heart please. God might have something for you at another church as long as you're faithful to Him. God lead me to CCCH so praying that He leads you as well.
Ugh... again I will say this is very short sighted comment or thought process. Jesus WENT INTO the most sinful areas to SAVE the lost... good grief ppl. Do you NOT SEE that even a site that isn't 100% Godly NEEDS a godly servant on it? Smh.... this isn't HURTING Jack's ministry bc anyone with half a Christian brain knows he's biblically sound. Leave HIS decisions up to him and focus on YOUR life's decisions.
@@smokymountaingirl the problem with this logic is that he is PAYING to be on daystar therefore supporting the false teachers that daystar promotes elsewhere on their schedule as well as supporting daystar in general. why pay money and money of those that follow you to pay for FALSE teaching? that makes zero sense
The Lord lead me out of the church I had attended for years and as I could not find a good church in the area I live in, I started a small home church, and it is here that I have grown more that all the years that I attended church. The money I gave the church I now use to help feed families in need. I am but a steward of all the God provides. It is all His, use it to His Glory.
What you say is true. The first question that parents ask their children is “Did you have fun.” I agree that children should be told that these are actual accounts of what has happened. The scripture is the word of God.
Our WOW group (women of the Word) had a discussion in the spring about calling the accounts of God a story. Cinderella is a story which may be teaching a lesson of value, but the Word of God is Truth. (Been an issue with me for some time. Thanks.) ....and I believe the words "in earth and on earth" should be thought thru. Our Lord's Will and Peace must be done "in earth; our earthly vessels" before these are carried out "on earth; our planet." Our words are important....The Word proves that from cover to cover. Thanks for the space to print these. 😊❤
i recently uprooted my family because the lord was gently telling me we had it wrong and were in the wrong place under the wrong teaching. He was leading us out and he used pastor Jack and many others as bread crumbs to walk us out of there. So all of this rings familiar and true to me.
We live in AZ also!! East valley, Gilbert. We can’t find a single church that teaches 100% of the Bible instead of just 30%. Every one is woke and the Pastors don’t encourage people to bring their Bible and the Pastors DONT even carry one. We follow Pastor Jack also and have now for 4 years! We consider it our home church. Where do you live?? We could get together and watch the services together and fellowship together!!
I started going to my little nondenominational church because the Pastor prayed and never closed during Covid. He speaks only Biblical Truth,that's it. He's not perfect, our church is not but there is no ear tickling there. 🙏 💪 🇺🇸 ❤ Edit: no one, not even the Pastor, get paid for serving the Church.
@@gwenmitchell1813 God does say to pay the pastor and those who do work in the church while sharing the Gospel. It’s where you put the money and what you use it for is the difference. People can make anything an obsession however, when people truthfully work to teach and preach, God provides through people who can afford to help. There is nothing wrong with giving money regularly for a church to survive and thrive. People who are selfish will not depart from their money in any capacity. God says to give cheerfully. Someone has to pay for the church, utilities, parking places etc. nothing is free in this world. It’s the love of money, not the money is the root of all evil. Using your money wisely is taught in the Bible so you won’t be in debt.
HEHEHEHE!!!! OH MY HEAVENS! THAT WAS SOOOO BRILLIANT!!!! I cant tell you how many years I have contemplated these points!!! JACK, you are rocking MY WALK!!! I simply LOVE YOU! and APPRECIATE YOUR SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP everyday! THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU. just a hospice nurse watching from southern Oregon !
Obedience to God is my main priority. I have lived a life that has been hard, like many other people, but I have seen God do things so amazing. I dont believe people would believe me if I told them. Without hearing my story, trust me on this. Your obedience to God is HUGE not just to strengthen your relationship with God but because I've discovered the difference between when I am and when Im not. My prayer time in the middle of the night has been a beautiful thing. Gods power is magnificent, but we play a big part in seeing it. I believe it starts with obedience and love. Your relationship with God will beat anything on this earth that you think can make you happy. ❤
I have been contemplating leaving the church I have been attending for 18+ years. I had been on the church council and taught Sunday School, and a life group leader. A few years ago the Pastor moved to North Carolina. I was not that comfortable with the young man who he chose to replace him. I wanted to be supportive and did not want to influence other people to leave so I stayed. During the last 6 months I finally decided I should leave. I stopped attending and tithed to different ministries. People have started to contact me and I just told them I had a lot of family situations (which was true) but I recently decided to tell a member of the council that I would no longer be attending. This was 3 days ago. I was wondering if I had done the right thing. I listen to podcasts while I hold my napping grandson and this podcast popped up. It was such a confirmation that I had done the right thing. Thank You Lord for giving confirmation that I made the right decision.
This really spoke to me. I have felt uncomfortable at my church services for a few months. I do believe it's the Holy Spirit telling me to move to a church that teaches scripture. Not just all flowers and roses and love. But the bones of the bible. All truth.
I hear this truth! I have been looking and trusting God in searching for a new church. AND I am so convinced, I am sending this to my two adult children with my grandchildren. I pray it reaches their ears n heart as it does mine. ❤🙏❤️
I come to Pastor Jack's church because his teachings and sremons fills and nourishes my soul with GOD'S HOLY WORD THE BIBLE EVERYDAY, I also read thru the BIBLE With PASTOR ROD HUMBREE AND FAMILY ""BIBLE DISCOVERY EVERYDAY" and listen to PASTOR JACK HIBBS EVERY SERVICE ON SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S SERVICE ALL PODCASTS,AND ALL HIS TALKS THAT HE PUTS OUT ON THE INTERNET AND re-listen to all he teaches from God's Holy Word the Bible, THANK YOU FOR BEING SO BOLD IN YOUR SPEAKING AND SPREADING GOD'S TRUTH,AMEN
Thank you Jack for this reasoning, I truly believe what you said, about staying or going, I have been talked about so much when God would move to different churches, I learned something for each one. I remember crying because I was leaving my church family. The Lord told me too. I always obey what God tells me. Sometimes it is lonely, HE has taught me to be patient, I certainly have learned from your ministry this past year and I am 74 years old. A minister doing one on one with the word of God. Thank you Judy Lynn
Thank you PJ! This teachng confirms what God has been showing me the last month that It will work better for me to keep attending a smaller church 5 mns from where I live, just down the road, which He had me visit last Sunday.Responding from Burnsville, Minnesota. I needed this today.
I know I'm in the right church because every point you made it was ticked off. The church I'm talking about is Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. When I found this church, I knew it was the right church because I'm learning about the Bible, especially the Old Testament. I keep growing and and after over 70 years, I'm now finally beginning to understand the Bible.
Thank you so much, Jack! I felt led to leave my church ‘family’ nearly two years ago. After a 6 month search, I discovered a local Word-centered church and have involved for nearly 16 months. Good Word Mr Hibbs! :)
Thank you for this insight on financial giving. Its timing is perfect for me. I had increased our tithe to the church, and while it was within our means to do so, my (old) tightness with finances, that go all the way back to childhood reared it’s ugly head just last night. I repented and asked for forgiveness, because I wholly believe that this money is the Lords, so your description has blessed me (and my husband). I will always look at “our” finances as tools for Gods kingdom, no more fretting. Thank You
No they don't. As long as Pastor Hibbs is faithful to God and His word he should be on every station available. He's not involved in their drama and people need to hear true teaching .
I'm 67. There are 40-50 people there who are very important to God. It is where my husband wants to go. I am fed through sermons and reading the word. Being in harmony with my husband comes 2nd only to the Lord. Sometimes we are planted in places that wouldn't be our 1st choice, but perhaps it's where He wants me.
Yes I submitted to my hubby for where we are currently sadly I was and am responsible for taking us and family out of a god preaching teaching church that is creating disciples thru the youth god for give me 🙏🙏
A couple of things that I didn't agree with Pastor Jack, but nothing major that should have separated us. The core truth is there. Thank you Pastor Jack for addressing that question. Agape Lv3in1
Thank you Ps Jack such words of wisdom. I can relate to everything you said. I sat in a Church for around twenty years because that was the denomination my Mother attended. I realised I wasn't growing and only going for the social side of it. The Lord has now led me to a great Holy Spirit filled Church where the Word is preached, the worship is great and I am growing and excited to go.
Pastor Jack Praying for you and the State of California to have Revival and a Spiritual Awakening! Plus new government at State and Local Levels. Many thanks for sharing your message on TOOLS! The Lord gives us different tools all the time! I pray I would be mindful and use any tools wisely and according to His Wil! I continue to pray for California! We’re all here for His Purpose and that is to be the Voice crying in the Wilderness to prepare the Way of the Lord in these End Times! We are the End Times Church! Let us declare boldly the Name that is above every name! Jesus! That every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, He is Lord!
The church I go to has a wonderful pastor, who preaches the word accurately and boldly like yourself Pastor Jack, I am blessed beyond measure, thank God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost!
perfect description of the church we left last summer . it took a long time to find the church you describe , but we did 50 miles from home . not surprisingly it's a Calvary Chapel church - blessings
As with any relationship - we have to seek the Lord through His Word and prayer and then we have to be obedient. We go to a wonderful church in San Antonio, TX. If at any time God says, "Go", we need to go! And quickly! I have left two churches previously when God told me to and thank Him that I did that!
Bro Jack Hibbs...I have followed your ministry since I first heard or watched you on Erick Stakelbeck last year. You are a refreshing in that you preach the FULL COUNSEL of God. You don't sugar coat it or try to be politically correct. Today's podcast message was so powerful and spot on. I've even got my friend wztching you now. She loves your teaching and preaching. I'm now going for your Wed night teaching Part 2 in Hebrews. God bless and
It never ceases to amaze me how people struggle with this decision. If you trust the spirit's voice in your gut and KNOW its the spirit talking to you then why do you take so long to listen? Thanks Jack for always giving great messages that are relevant.God Bless you and the ministry you are over.
Great question. Even Joyce Meyer stepped out. Pretty bad he hasn't. Makes me question his motives. And I love him and his preaching. This just doesn't sit right. Too much abuse in the church and God is shaking things up. He needs to be careful what side he aligns with.
Thank you Pastor Jack for informing the flock. I recently felt led by the Holy Spirit to move on. Have not found a church to attend locally yet. Fellowship is important but until then, I watch on line three different pastors throughout the week. Listening to the Holy Spirit to lead me. May blessings pour out on your ministry. Praises to our magnificent Father.
We meet in a time restricted room . Its the only church that believes the whole gospel .we are nondenominational . I see some things that upset my beliefs but I have been in this church 30+yrs . God has pruned us a few times . We havent any childrens ministry. No children attend regularly . I have no choice as lack of transport. My pastor is a down to earth believer . We run it together. I watch you for food .I SHARE your sermons with my pastor. We are in uk. Worship and prayer is from the heart . We are growing slowly . God does bless us x
I listen to this and am so happy that my church, Capitol City Baptist Church, sticks to the Bible. Pastor is not afraid to challenge his flock. I’ve been there 15 years and have never heard a ‘soft’ sermon. Pastor Perkins is a solid believer. I am blessed to have found this church. Capitol City Baptist Church in Holt Michigan is the best place to go for solid foundations.
Yes, I have been troubled that no comment has even been made. The Bible warns us to be careful of the company we keep… 1 Cor. 5:11, Psalms 1:1-2, 1 Cor 5:33, Proverbs 13:20,30 to name a few.
Amen ! Thank you for this. I have been asking God to direct me. And I have been questioning myself on his answer. Because it's to walk away from what I have known for the past 26 years. But God is no longer the main reason of my church. Thank you. God will speak. And sometimes it's not what we want to hear.
Happy birthday Pastor Jack!!!! I was 84 on the 14th, then your #67??? Is God an awesome God or what????? Being born & raised & schooled SDA (left at 18), I must loudly SHOUT AMEN to every word you speak here! God Bless you and Lisa and the Body of Christ as we begin serving our Lord in this new year! It is HIS!!!!! Myrtle Creek, Or. sends love and blessings!!! 👑🙏🇮🇱🤠❤️🙏🙏🙏
Love you all Pastor Jack! Thank you for preaching the Gospel and giving pastors and us encouragement to continue to tell the folk’s around us about Jesus allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work. I get tickled now thinking that I don’t have to be a great preacher. I just have to preach the Word and sit down. God takes care of His business. We hope to meet you one day, if not on earth we’ll see you in heaven. I’ve already been telling people about Amos 3:3
Thank you for this message. I needed it!!! We left a church that we were members for over 20 years because we were no longer on the same page. New Age sermons are not our thing. Me, me, me everything and money, wow! Oh yes money. We joined a church that at first seemed great. My husband loves it. I don’t. I love the people, I love the pastors. The problem is that one of the pastors is very manipulative and controlling. They have run off lots of people. If you do something against their desires, even if you didn’t know it, you will be ripped to shreds in front of others. All of the time the person say “I love you”. That is narcissistic abuse. I don’t go anymore. My husband love it because they are very nice to him and don’t abuse him. I watch your services on Sunday. I have been in ministry for over 45 years. I have always submitted to authority and been on staff or deeply involved or pastored churches. It is hard to not be in church. We have sought the Lord for His direction. That is the only way to know what to do. Love this message. Thank you! I totally agree on the money thing!!!
Thank you so very much Jack. This is such an excellent teaching. I had to leave a conservative Christian church about two years ago after attending it for three years. The Pastor was a wonderful man of God and the congregation was friendly. The main problem was in my relationship with God and my Christian walk. I had lost my intimacy with the Lord and lost my own personal, special prayer times within the privacy of my own home. I was also having problems with my walk with the Lord, and after much prayer I told the Pastor, bless his heart, that I needed to move on. It was painful and scary. I felt like a Judas betraying the Lord, forsaking a kind man who had done so much to try and help me through some of my life's problems, but in the end it was time. There is one other thing I want to add. That is giving to charity. Often when I give to a charity that the Lord is leading me to give to, I am blessed in my spirit afterward. And sometimes when I give my money to a cause that the Holy Ghost has not led me to give to, I will feel His correction, even if it is a legitimate Christian charity. "My sheep know My voice", and He will lead us in and lead us out, and bring us to good pasture. God bless you in Jesus name.
Yes, please take a stand against Daystar! Frankly, I am concerned you haven’t left Daystar already. Please do a deep study and research on what has been going on with that ministry you support by having your Church on their channel.
Pastor Jack I am looking forward to hearing this message I have a question for you though?? Why are you still on DayStar TV????? We can all read about the SA coverup and Joni Lambs adulterous marriage. My husband and I love to listen to you. We are in Texas. You do not need Daystar. You have all you need in your teaching and God’s blessing it. God bless you. I hope you pull out as several other others have had the bravery to pull away from Daystar.
Thank you for your advice and saying things very clear, I have been praying about this matter, we didn’t get to grow in our church, so this is a confirmation that we need to start looking for a new one to attend, will continue praying for God to show us the way.
Thank you so much for this teaching. Yes more should hear from you. Ive changed chur hes 4 times in 2 years and believe God has moved me to a good church.
God Bless You Pastor Jack! You & your ministry are such a part of my ...dismal Life! I honestly get more- & Learn more from you than the Church I attend- & you -or God has just convicted me of that. -Waiting on discernment what to do- Of the 6 Churches I can attend- in my area -the one I currently attend is sadly my best option, none of them will talk- or want to speak of the approaching rapture. I can't ignore that- or even accept it- so I often stay home & watch you & J.D.Farag instead- & often come away having learned more about a topic than anywhere else- or anything they have preached! Such a sad reality in these times! God help me Please!
These are the questions I have been wrestling with for the last 2 weeks, actually more. Sadly, there aren't churches to replace where I am, I have checked them out already. The preaching teaches the passage, the message, but I don't hear a call to draw people to the need of Jesus in their life at mine or other churches.. I'm hungry. I discovered Real Life during the plandemic & I am growing, reading & studying my Bible, praying, singing. Thank you
Thoughtful message! The elders (board) should be holding things in check. If they're OK with being out of line, then who's got our back? Thank you, Pastor!!
I've been there. A church that fed me, then, later in the years. I was not being fed by the preaching any longer. I was holding Bible studies there, I stayed fora year or two. I finally left, then heard from members they were not getting fed. These members ate still there starving spiritually. Heard the same thing, this is the place I was baptized, my family goes there ect. Yes, I am still looking for the congregation that I can be fed in. I still do Bible studies away from any congregation. Thank you Brother Jack for the word the Spirit of God gives you to give it to us.
Thank you for your wisdom Pastor Jack. My husband and I have been talking about how we are not getting fed at the Calvary Chapel we attend but absolutely love the pastor and the body. but it's been a struggle to keep attending. We watched the podcast on RLN. ❤
Because I am starving for Jesus is why I listen to you and go to a church
Thank you for standing up for Biblical truth. Your church is my online church. God bless your ministry.
This podcast it SO FULL OF TRUTH!
I asked God if it was time to leave California because it was too hard for me to afford to live there. I felt in my heart God saying to have faith and I needed to be in Texas. I now help others here by teaching His word truthfully. I do it without cost to anyone. I give freely because it was freely given to me. God is always amazing
amen wayne
I do not have a church anymore. The church I did attend was methodist but the people were I think amazing. Pastor Lisch was a real spiritual man.He was stricken with a very aggressive brain cancer and died. I haven't been there since. The church was attacked by the LGBTQ WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE and they didnt give in. There are more circumstances involved. Should I go back for a visit?
I got a pink slip from my church because I asked them to turn the laser lights away from down into peoples eyes. This was considered criticizing and it was strongly suggested that I go to another church. I was in PAIN, but they don’t care. All about the entertainment, bright lights, cloud fog and loud LOUD MUSIC, that is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. Their messages were very good, which is tHe only reason I stayed. Think I’ll stay with Pastor Jack!
I'm so sorry this happened to you, but you aren't alone.
Clear message to leave and see if any calvary chapel in your area
The first time I walked into a church with fog, strobe lights and loud loud music, I would turn right around and leave. Before I came to Christ over twenty yrs ago I went to bars that had all that worldly devilish stuff and a church is no place for it.
I had to leave a church because they wouldn't lower the music volume by 5 dB - I have a disability that makes it painful and horribly awful if music is to loud.
I was in PAIN as well, and after 2 years of trying - I had to leave.
@sarahamesmer or any other Bible teaching Spirit filled church. We must be careful not to think Calvary Chapels are the only church. ❤
I left a church because they sanctioned a 35 yr old man dating a just turned 16yr old who had just lost her father. I was horrifyed. No one would listen. Still haven't found a home church but I am blessed to have you Jack & Amir & so many others far away but preaching the Truth. Dark days but the light shines very bright in this darkness.

I listen in from South Africa because Real Life sermons and podcasts are Biblically based. Thank you Jack
No flash and no bang is what makes your messages so pertinent and genuine. No hidden agendas. Gives a sense is sincerity and truth to what you say.
This is why I left the church about a year ago. The preaching was all about me me me and they forgot who Jesus really was and what his word says. Now the Lord is leading me and we have home Bible studies and we are doing what the Lord wants us to do.
Pastor Jack, I appreciate how you're setting the standard for the American Church; it's desperately needed!
We are stuck in the mud on this issue. We were going to a Christian church nearby. I volunteered to serve as an usher but had to quit for health reasons. They cater to young families. We are retired. They just finished a building fund for the kids of the young families. I withdrew my donations. This church is close geographically but so far have not found the right one. We could walk to a Catholic Church but we are not going there. My gut says no to these churches. I get frustrated over a lack of correct places to go here, but we listen to you on TV for now.

Do you have any Calvary Chapel churches near by? Any with in an hour drive, or even a two hour drive?

That's what I do!

I tune in to Pastor Jack -- best church I can find on social media! From those of us who are housebound, many thanks and God bless the Body of Christ!
Opened my eyes, praying now He will lead me where to go
❤I can't live without Jesus I need him desperately everyday
Great teaching. Discernment is a very big issue in the Christian Church/Body of Christ.
I am in Australia, The Lord told me many years ago before I was born again, Go to Church, this is your last chance.I knew I would never hear the voice of the Lord again if I didn’t, I asked the Lord, Which one. He said, I don’t care, any, but He knew where I was to go. I have been a member of that church for over 40 years now and I believe my husband and I are planted there by God Himself . We have been sent out from our church as missionaries to Papua New Guinea. I also know that until the Lord leads us out we must stay. We cannot plant ourselves, no plant, plants itself unless it is a weed! I love watching Jacks messages on you tube. Jack you are a brilliant teacher. I also love my church. Many years ago, I heard the word that we are pillars.
I watch the Wednesday night sermons with the "can't wait 'til 7 pm" feeling I recall having back in the day for my favorite weekly TV show. Pastor Jack is a gifted -teacher, entertainer (he KNOWS how to insert a LOL at just the appropriate time) and relevant. You want to kept up on the news? Tune in every Wedneday night (and Sunday). The word of God is ALIVE at Calvary, Thank you Pastor Jack. 💝✝
You are so right Pastor Jack! Think of money as a tool and not as an asset. It has been provided to us by God to live and to use for His glory. Praise God for everything! 🙏🏼🇨🇦
These questions can be applied to Daystar. Please, Pastor Hibbs, please take a stand.
I admit this really does disturb me. Also his stance on Bethel and Hillsong music.
I stopped watching Daystar years ago. I watch solely Calvary Chapel for their accuracies.
@paulmaguire5330 they have some short comings too like any church. Don't put God or His church in a box. But I do agree with you that they are excellent as I actually do attend Jack Hibbs church in Chino Hills every Sunday just about. Love Mike Winger too who was a CC Pastor. Great church. But man, keep an open heart please. God might have something for you at another church as long as you're faithful to Him. God lead me to CCCH so praying that He leads you as well.
Ugh... again I will say this is very short sighted comment or thought process. Jesus WENT INTO the most sinful areas to SAVE the lost... good grief ppl. Do you NOT SEE that even a site that isn't 100% Godly NEEDS a godly servant on it? Smh.... this isn't HURTING Jack's ministry bc anyone with half a Christian brain knows he's biblically sound. Leave HIS decisions up to him and focus on YOUR life's decisions.
@@smokymountaingirl the problem with this logic is that he is PAYING to be on daystar therefore supporting the false teachers that daystar promotes elsewhere on their schedule as well as supporting daystar in general. why pay money and money of those that follow you to pay for FALSE teaching? that makes zero sense
The Lord lead me out of the church I had attended for years and as I could not find a good church in the area I live in, I started a small home church, and it is here that I have grown more that all the years that I attended church. The money I gave the church I now use to help feed families in need. I am but a steward of all the God provides. It is all His, use it to His Glory.
What you say is true. The first question that parents ask their children is “Did you have fun.” I agree that children should be told that these are actual accounts of what has happened. The scripture is the word of God.
Our WOW group (women of the Word) had a discussion in the spring about calling the accounts of God a story. Cinderella is a story which may be teaching a lesson of value, but the Word of God is Truth. (Been an issue with me for some time. Thanks.)
....and I believe the words "in earth and on earth" should be thought thru. Our Lord's Will and Peace must
be done "in earth; our earthly vessels" before these are carried out "on earth; our planet." Our words are important....The Word proves that from cover to cover.
Thanks for the space to print these. 😊❤
i recently uprooted my family because the lord was gently telling me we had it wrong and were in the wrong place under the wrong teaching. He was leading us out and he used pastor Jack and many others as bread crumbs to walk us out of there. So all of this rings familiar and true to me.
I go to church in California with an amazing bold pastor. I live in Arizona. So thankful for you Pastor Jack!!!
Another congregant from AZ here!!! Jack is our Pastor also.
Same..
We live in AZ also!! East valley, Gilbert. We can’t find a single church that teaches 100% of the Bible instead of just 30%. Every one is woke and the Pastors don’t encourage people to bring their Bible and the Pastors DONT even carry one. We follow Pastor Jack also and have now for 4 years! We consider it our home church. Where do you live?? We could get together and watch the services together and fellowship together!!
I started going to my little nondenominational church because the Pastor prayed and never closed during Covid. He speaks only Biblical Truth,that's it. He's not perfect, our church is not but there is no ear tickling there. 🙏 💪 🇺🇸 ❤
Edit: no one, not even the Pastor, get paid for serving the Church.
Where is your chruch?
There you go. No one gets paid. The modern model of church where the pastor gets paid is not biblical. I'm looking for a church like yours
@@gwenmitchell1813 God does say to pay the pastor and those who do work in the church while sharing the Gospel. It’s where you put the money and what you use it for is the difference. People can make anything an obsession however, when people truthfully work to teach and preach, God provides through people who can afford to help. There is nothing wrong with giving money regularly for a church to survive and thrive. People who are selfish will not depart from their money in any capacity. God says to give cheerfully. Someone has to pay for the church, utilities, parking places etc. nothing is free in this world. It’s the love of money, not the money is the root of all evil. Using your money wisely is taught in the Bible so you won’t be in debt.
Pastors should get a salary. If you're being fed the word the Shepherd is worth something.
Thank You Lord Jesus giving us this message through pastor Jack Hibbs
HEHEHEHE!!!! OH MY HEAVENS! THAT WAS SOOOO BRILLIANT!!!! I cant tell you how many years I have contemplated these points!!! JACK, you are rocking MY WALK!!! I simply LOVE YOU! and APPRECIATE YOUR SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP everyday! THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU. just a hospice nurse watching from southern Oregon !
Obedience to God is my main priority. I have lived a life that has been hard, like many other people, but I have seen God do things so amazing. I dont believe people would believe me if I told them. Without hearing my story, trust me on this. Your obedience to God is HUGE not just to strengthen your relationship with God but because I've discovered the difference between when I am and when Im not. My prayer time in the middle of the night has been a beautiful thing. Gods power is magnificent, but we play a big part in seeing it. I believe it starts with obedience and love. Your relationship with God will beat anything on this earth that you think can make you happy. ❤

I have been contemplating leaving the church I have been attending for 18+ years. I had been on the church council and taught Sunday School, and a life group leader. A few years ago the Pastor moved to North Carolina. I was not that comfortable with the young man who he chose to replace him. I wanted to be supportive and did not want to influence other people to leave so I stayed. During the last 6 months I finally decided I should leave. I stopped attending and tithed to different ministries. People have started to contact me and I just told them I had a lot of family situations (which was true) but I recently decided to tell a member of the council that I would no longer be attending. This was 3 days ago. I was wondering if I had done the right thing. I listen to podcasts while I hold my napping grandson and this podcast popped up. It was such a confirmation that I had done the right thing. Thank You Lord for giving confirmation that I made the right decision.
This really spoke to me. I have felt uncomfortable at my church services for a few months. I do believe it's the Holy Spirit telling me to move to a church that teaches scripture. Not just all flowers and roses and love. But the bones of the bible. All truth.
I have never heard a Jack Hibbs broadcast that was not top notch for Christians. Sometimes it’s scolding, but if so, we deserved and needed it!
I listen to you faithfully, as you teach the whole counsel of God, and teach also on issues that are happening today.0:28
I hear this truth!
I have been looking and trusting God in searching for a new church. AND I am so convinced, I am sending this to my two adult children with my grandchildren. I pray it reaches their ears n heart as it does mine. ❤🙏❤️
I come to Pastor Jack's church because his teachings and sremons fills and nourishes my soul with GOD'S HOLY WORD THE BIBLE EVERYDAY, I also read thru the BIBLE With PASTOR ROD HUMBREE AND FAMILY ""BIBLE DISCOVERY EVERYDAY" and listen to PASTOR JACK HIBBS EVERY SERVICE ON SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S SERVICE ALL PODCASTS,AND ALL HIS TALKS THAT HE PUTS OUT ON THE INTERNET AND re-listen to all he teaches from God's Holy Word the Bible, THANK YOU FOR BEING SO BOLD IN YOUR SPEAKING AND SPREADING GOD'S TRUTH,AMEN
Thank you Pastor Jack, this is the very question I find myself asking.
I really needed to hear this truth!
Excellent reminder !
Thank you Jack for this reasoning, I truly believe what you said, about staying or going, I have been talked about so much when God would move to different churches, I learned something for each one. I remember crying because I was leaving my church family. The Lord told me too.
I always obey what God tells me. Sometimes it is lonely, HE has taught me to be patient, I certainly have learned from your ministry this past year and I am 74 years old. A minister doing one on one with the word of God.
Thank you
Judy Lynn
We love your teaching Jack. We have a great smaller church in a small community, but we love supplementing our spiritual income with your teaching. ❤️
Thank you PJ! This teachng confirms what God has been showing me the last month that It will work better for me to keep attending a smaller church 5 mns from where I live, just down the road, which He had me visit last Sunday.Responding from Burnsville, Minnesota. I needed this today.
I know I'm in the right church because every point you made it was ticked off. The church I'm talking about is Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. When I found this church, I knew it was the right church because I'm learning about the Bible, especially the Old Testament. I keep growing and and after over 70 years, I'm now finally beginning to understand the Bible.
Thank you so much, Jack! I felt led to leave my church ‘family’ nearly two years ago. After a 6 month search, I discovered a local Word-centered church and have involved for nearly 16 months. Good Word Mr Hibbs! :)
Thank you for this insight on financial giving. Its timing is perfect for me. I had increased our tithe to the church, and while it was within our means to do so, my (old) tightness with finances, that go all the way back to childhood reared it’s ugly head just last night. I repented and asked for forgiveness, because I wholly believe that this money is the Lords, so your description has blessed me (and my husband). I will always look at “our” finances as tools for Gods kingdom, no more fretting. Thank You
Can you please explain why you are still on Daystar.
People need to know.
Why.
@suzediaz4361 Watch Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson
No they don't. As long as Pastor Hibbs is faithful to God and His word he should be on every station available. He's not involved in their drama and people need to hear true teaching .
Do you actually know what is going on with Daystar?
I'm 67. There are 40-50 people there who are very important to God. It is where my husband wants to go. I am fed through sermons and reading the word. Being in harmony with my husband comes 2nd only to the Lord. Sometimes we are planted in places that wouldn't be our 1st choice, but perhaps it's where He wants me.
Yes I submitted to my hubby for where we are currently sadly I was and am responsible for taking us and family out of a god preaching teaching church that is creating disciples thru the youth god for give me 🙏🙏
We attend where we are to serve the Lord hear the word and worship Him 🙏🙏
Ive heard quite a few pastors in my 71 years. This one is the real deal. May the Lord Jesus continue to bless him. Arohanui Pastor Jack.
Amen Pastor Jack Hibbs 🙏🙏🙏
A couple of things that I didn't agree with Pastor Jack, but nothing major that should have separated us. The core truth is there. Thank you Pastor Jack for addressing that question. Agape Lv3in1
Thank you so much Pastor Jack for your teachings and your truth.
Jack, These are the best arguments for staying or leaving a church that I have ever heard. Thank you for shariing.
Thank you Ps Jack such words of wisdom. I can relate to everything you said. I sat in a Church for around twenty years because that was the denomination my Mother attended. I realised I wasn't growing and only going for the social side of it. The Lord has now led me to a great Holy Spirit filled Church where the Word is preached, the worship is great and I am growing and excited to go.
Pastor Jack
Praying for you and the State of California to have Revival and a Spiritual Awakening! Plus new government at State and Local Levels.
Many thanks for sharing your message on TOOLS! The Lord gives us different tools all the time! I pray I would be mindful and use any tools wisely and according to His Wil!
I continue to pray for California! We’re all here for His Purpose and that is to be the Voice crying in the Wilderness to prepare the Way of the Lord in these End Times! We are the End Times Church! Let us declare boldly the Name that is above every name! Jesus! That every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, He is Lord!
The church I go to has a wonderful pastor, who preaches the word accurately and boldly like yourself Pastor Jack, I am blessed beyond measure, thank God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost!
Thank you for your clarification. I left a church because people were the primary center of the pastor's sermon.
perfect description of the church we left last summer . it took a long time to find the church you describe , but we did 50 miles from home . not surprisingly it's a Calvary Chapel church - blessings
👍🙏📖🧂🕯️✝️
That you Pastor, for the excellent advice. I'm encouraged to know that we are exactly where God wants us to be. 😊
OH PASTOR JACK, I CAN SO RELATE...THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS TEACHING A WORD THAT I REALLY NEED TO HEAR! PTL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen! That is so well said. I tell people that the fold I chose to stay at is where I am fed well.
As with any relationship - we have to seek the Lord through His Word and prayer and then we have to be obedient. We go to a wonderful church in San Antonio, TX. If at any time God says, "Go", we need to go! And quickly! I have left two churches previously when God told me to and thank Him that I did that!
Bro Jack Hibbs...I have followed your ministry since I first heard or watched you on Erick Stakelbeck last year. You are a refreshing in that you preach the FULL COUNSEL of God. You don't sugar coat it or try to be politically correct. Today's podcast message was so powerful and spot on. I've even got my friend wztching you now. She loves your teaching and preaching. I'm now going for your Wed night teaching Part 2 in Hebrews. God bless and
It never ceases to amaze me how people struggle with this decision. If you trust the spirit's voice in your gut and KNOW its the spirit talking to you then why do you take so long to listen? Thanks Jack for always giving great messages that are relevant.God Bless you and the ministry you are over.
Perhaps there could be two adult guts in a home that are not in agreement.
I Love sharing Bible stories with children. I believe it is in how you share simply truths
Thank you Pastor Jack, these questions have been on my mind these last few days!!
Amen brother. Money is a tool that God gives us that we can use to help build Gods Kingdom down here on earth. 24:26
I left a church because I was not growing and I left the services frustrated.
Excellent podcast today!! And one that is very timely in todays world with todays churches!
Should you stay with Daystar with all that is going on ?
Exactly!
Great question. Even Joyce Meyer stepped out. Pretty bad he hasn't. Makes me question his motives. And I love him and his preaching. This just doesn't sit right. Too much abuse in the church and God is shaking things up. He needs to be careful what side he aligns with.
@@Pipers_hoomanWhat?? Who are you writing in regards to?
Why are u listening to it? Do they ask u to sow a seed (give $) so your blessed? Are they preaching hard truth?
Please be informed of what is going on at Daystar and strongly consider leaving 🙏🏻
Thank you Pastor Jack for informing the flock. I recently felt led by the Holy Spirit to move on. Have not found a church to attend locally yet. Fellowship is important but until then, I watch on line three different pastors throughout the week. Listening to the Holy Spirit to lead me. May blessings pour out on your ministry. Praises to our magnificent Father.
We meet in a time restricted room . Its the only church that believes the whole gospel .we are nondenominational . I see some things that upset my beliefs but I have been in this church 30+yrs . God has pruned us a few times . We havent any childrens ministry. No children attend regularly . I have no choice as lack of transport. My pastor is a down to earth believer . We run it together. I watch you for food .I SHARE your sermons with my pastor. We are in uk. Worship and prayer is from the heart . We are growing slowly . God does bless us x
Thank you Pastor for this podcast. I have had this on my mind for some time.
Hallelujah! Jesus is Lord
I listen to this and am so happy that my church, Capitol City Baptist Church, sticks to the Bible. Pastor is not afraid to challenge his flock. I’ve been there 15 years and have never heard a ‘soft’ sermon. Pastor Perkins is a solid believer. I am blessed to have found this church.
Capitol City Baptist Church in Holt Michigan is the best place to go for solid foundations.
take a stand against Daystar please ......as well as Hillsong, Bethel and Elevation music
Yes, I have been troubled that no comment has even been made. The Bible warns us to be careful of the company we keep…
1 Cor. 5:11, Psalms 1:1-2, 1 Cor 5:33, Proverbs 13:20,30 to name a few.
Thank you for this message; it has greatly blessed me today!❤
Love you pastor Jack❤✝️❤️
Amen ! Thank you for this. I have been asking God to direct me. And I have been questioning myself on his answer. Because it's to walk away from what I have known for the past 26 years. But God is no longer the main reason of my church. Thank you. God will speak. And sometimes it's not what we want to hear.
Thank you, you've confirmed to me how we need to see where our God needs us to worship Him. That is surely where we grow and learn amen
Happy birthday Pastor Jack!!!! I was 84 on the 14th, then your #67??? Is God an awesome God or what????? Being born & raised & schooled SDA (left at 18), I must loudly SHOUT AMEN to every word you speak here! God Bless you and Lisa and the Body of Christ as we begin serving our Lord in this new year! It is HIS!!!!! Myrtle Creek, Or. sends love and blessings!!! 👑🙏🇮🇱🤠❤️🙏🙏🙏
@@Ken77114 HI KEN!… just dropping in to say hello from a fellow southern Oregonian! Im Kate, and I THANK YOU for your post! Take care my friend.
One of my sons went on a mission to Ukraine. I love what you shared today.
Love you all Pastor Jack! Thank you for preaching the Gospel and giving pastors and us encouragement to continue to tell the folk’s around us about Jesus allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work. I get tickled now thinking that I don’t have to be a great preacher. I just have to preach the Word and sit down. God takes care of His business. We hope to meet you one day, if not on earth we’ll see you in heaven. I’ve already been telling people about Amos 3:3
Thank you! It’s what I needed to hear… been considering same with my church. 🙌
Good word... but Daystar comes to mind. I think you should go!
Love what you said. It's true. My son and I love the TRUTH you teach.
Keep up the great topics,
God bless you Jack and everyone listening!
Thank you for sharing truth!!
Blessed by the grace of Jesus Christ 🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼
Thank you for this message. I needed it!!!
We left a church that we were members for over 20 years because we were no longer on the same page. New Age sermons are not our thing. Me, me, me everything and money, wow! Oh yes money.
We joined a church that at first seemed great. My husband loves it. I don’t. I love the people, I love the pastors. The problem is that one of the pastors is very manipulative and controlling. They have run off lots of people. If you do something against their desires, even if you didn’t know it, you will be ripped to shreds in front of others. All of the time the person say “I love you”. That is narcissistic abuse.
I don’t go anymore. My husband love it because they are very nice to him and don’t abuse him. I watch your services on Sunday.
I have been in ministry for over 45 years. I have always submitted to authority and been on staff or deeply involved or pastored churches. It is hard to not be in church.
We have sought the Lord for His direction. That is the only way to know what to do. Love this message. Thank you!
I totally agree on the money thing!!!
Thank you so very much Jack. This is such an excellent teaching. I had to leave a conservative Christian church about two years ago after attending it for three years. The Pastor was a wonderful man of God and the congregation was friendly. The main problem was in my relationship with God and my Christian walk. I had lost my intimacy with the Lord and lost my own personal, special prayer times within the privacy of my own home. I was also having problems with my walk with the Lord, and after much prayer I told the Pastor, bless his heart, that I needed to move on. It was painful and scary. I felt like a Judas betraying the Lord, forsaking a kind man who had done so much to try and help me through some of my life's problems, but in the end it was time.
There is one other thing I want to add. That is giving to charity. Often when I give to a charity that the Lord is leading me to give to, I am blessed in my spirit afterward. And sometimes when I give my money to a cause that the Holy Ghost has not led me to give to, I will feel His correction, even if it is a legitimate Christian charity. "My sheep know My voice", and He will lead us in and lead us out, and bring us to good pasture. God bless you in Jesus name.
Amen! Confirms all that God has taught me by His Holy Spirit over the years and several churches.
Yes, please take a stand against Daystar! Frankly, I am concerned you haven’t left Daystar already. Please do a deep study and research on what has been going on with that ministry you support by having your Church on their channel.
Thank you Lord for this wonderful confirmation and answer to prayer. Hallelujah! Thank you Pastor Jack for being bold to share this
Pastor Jack I am looking forward to hearing this message I have a question for you though?? Why are you still on DayStar TV????? We can all read about the SA coverup and Joni Lambs adulterous marriage. My husband and I love to listen to you. We are in Texas. You do not need Daystar. You have all you need in your teaching and God’s blessing it. God bless you. I hope you pull out as several other others have had the bravery to pull away from Daystar.
Thank you for your advice and saying things very clear, I have been praying about this matter, we didn’t get to grow in our church, so this is a confirmation that we need to start looking for a new one to attend, will continue praying for God to show us the way.
Thank you so much for this teaching. Yes more should hear from you. Ive changed chur hes 4 times in 2 years and believe God has moved me to a good church.
Pastor Jack always a privilege and pleasure to hear your podcasts and preaching.
God Bless You Pastor Jack! You & your ministry are such a part of my ...dismal Life! I honestly get more- & Learn more from you than the Church I attend- & you -or God has just convicted me of that. -Waiting on discernment what to do- Of the 6 Churches I can attend- in my area -the one I currently attend is sadly my best option, none of them will talk- or want to speak of the approaching rapture. I can't ignore that- or even accept it- so I often stay home & watch you & J.D.Farag instead- & often come away having learned more about a topic than anywhere else- or anything they have preached! Such a sad reality in these times! God help me Please!
These are the questions I have been wrestling with for the last 2 weeks, actually more. Sadly, there aren't churches to replace where I am, I have checked them out already. The preaching teaches the passage, the message, but I don't hear a call to draw people to the need of Jesus in their life at mine or other churches.. I'm hungry. I discovered Real Life during the plandemic & I am
growing, reading & studying my Bible, praying, singing. Thank you
I love your preaching Jack Hibbs!❤
You speak the truth Pastor Hibbs.
Love you Pastor Jack. Thanks for the Truth. It sets me free. ❤
Thoughtful message!
The elders (board) should be holding things in check. If they're OK with being out of line, then who's got our back?
Thank you, Pastor!!
I've been there. A church that fed me, then, later in the years. I was not being fed by the preaching any longer. I was holding Bible studies there, I stayed fora year or two. I finally left, then heard from members they were not getting fed. These members ate still there starving spiritually. Heard the same thing, this is the place I was baptized, my family goes there ect. Yes, I am still looking for the congregation that I can be fed in. I still do Bible studies away from any congregation. Thank you Brother Jack for the word the Spirit of God gives you to give it to us.
Thank you for your wisdom Pastor Jack. My husband and I have been talking about how we are not getting fed at the Calvary Chapel we attend but absolutely love the pastor and the body. but it's been a struggle to keep attending. We watched the podcast on RLN. ❤
