Real Life With Jack Hibbs - Podcasts

The Old Testament of the Bible speaks of the coming Messiah, who will suffer and die for our salvation. The coming of Jesus Christ is not a New Testament concept, but a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

God wants to be involved in every area of our lives. We’re to go to Him with whatever we’re going through. It’s a matter of trust, and God is trustworthy. We can depend on Him to guide us through any trial, and every situation we find ourselves in.

God knows our struggle with faith, and how it works. But, we’re to be careful not to let our questions or doubts turn into unbelief. The Bible was written for our learning. That in our searching through the scriptures, we can find comfort and hope.

Even the first five books of the Bible are about salvation and redemption. All scripture was inspired by God, and His desire to save us is uniquely found in His Word.

Our salvation cost Jesus His life. He saved us from the power of sin by paying the ultimate price. His brutal death on the cross gives us the chance to experience eternal life in Heaven. A gift we could never earn or even deserve.

The darker the sky, the greater the stars can be seen. Jesus is like that. The darker our life appears the brighter the Lord shines. To have peace in the middle of a storm happens when we believe that God is with us in all things, and in every situation.

God often throws us into the impossible to build our faith. It’s the hard things of life, and the trials by fire that will test us and perfect us. We often don’t understand it, but God is preparing us for the amazing things to come.

God’s hope is a living hope. He is merciful and generous, and delights in the fact that we are His. God is always at work in our life, and gave us His Holy Spirit to guide us and perfect us towards purity. Even when we feel like things are falling apart, He will never fail us.

Peter couldn’t really describe Heaven, it is so awesome. And for the Christ follower, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, in Heaven with Him. The curse of sin will no longer affect us. It’s the power of God that is keeping us today, but will also see us through to the end.

We’re born into a world that is dying. But, Jesus can give us a second birth through salvation that only He can give. We’re not saved and going to heaven through association. Just because our mom or dad, or grandma are saved, doesn’t mean we are. It’s only through the gospel of Jesus Christ, and His generous mercy that we are saved.

As Christ followers, we are just pilgrims here. This world is not our home. And, in this journey we can be confident that eternity is being prepared for us. It’s the Lord’s mercy and good pleasure to wipe every tear from our eyes, and quiet us with His embrace, as He welcomes us home.

God always finishes what He starts. No matter how small the work, or how little the flame is in your heart, His grace and peace cannot be exhausted. God will see you all the way through to the end.

God’s love for us is relentless. He is constantly speaking to the believer, putting desires in our hearts, and constantly working within us, even through life’s difficulties.

Peter shared the Gospel wherever he went, and brought comfort to the believers who were suffering there. His words of compassion can also bring encouragement to us, especially during these dark and confusing times.
