- CalvaryTruths.com JesusLovesYouRadio.com Pastor Chuck Smith's Last Sermon - "Be Strong in the Faith" - Romans 4:19. We will miss you Pastor Chuck, but we know you've died, but moved to Heaven! Praise Jesus for the ministry He did through Pastor Chuck! Chuck was very weak with Cancer, but he still taught all three services this final Sunday! What a great example for all of us to share the Gospel and teach the Word of God with all of our hearts, in easy times or in difficult times! To God be the glory!
It's quite remarkable that Pastor Chuck, though weak with cancer, still taught all three services this final Sunday! He died, aged 86, only days afterwards- crowning nearly 50-years at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and a lifetime in service to Christ. A more honorable servant one could not find, and there IS a message for everyone in this, his last public sermon!
I met Chuck at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, many years before he was stricken with cancer.
I told him I’d loved his sermons on the radio for years, and he grabbed me and gave me a big bear hug! He said: “Oh bless your heart!” I’ll never forget his loving greeting!
A true man of God. We will miss you Pastor Chuck. Praise God you are with Jesus now forever......
I love Chuck Smith. Listened to him for years on the radio.
We love you Pastor Chuck.. thank you is not enough... we will miss you. but praise God you now wearing your crown... and seated with our Lord Jesus Christ.. you are definitely strong again.. and probably singing together with all the Saints..
Chuck you were the great mentor of my life.you taught me though the Bible.you pointed me to the cross.
God bless all .
Loved Pastor Chuck and he loved his flock. I Was saved at Calvary Chapel 1971, baptized in Pirate's Cove , Married by Chuck Smith in 1976. We will certainly miss him.
Never have i heard bible inspired preacher like Pastor Chuck, every verse, chapter in the Bible are plainly clearly explained with history and explanation. I am blessed everytime I listen to him in youtube.
We miss you Pastor Chuck! We will see you hen We get there! A great man of God!
I couldn't get enough of listening to through the Bible with Chuck Smith on Family media Kenya. The Bible came alive to me in his sermons, he was one man who inspired me to focus on Jesus our blessed hope no matter what the circumstances are. I will miss God's gift in Chuck, a true soldier of Christ!
He is a PRECIOUS brother and saint! To his last breath!!
Hallelujah!!! Thank you lord Jesus Christ for using Chuck. 😊❤🙏🇺🇸
Pastor Chuck you have been a blessing to me since 1986, which was about 6 months after I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. Your radio ministry "The Word for Today" I still tune in to this day. I know without doubt that your're in the presence of the Lord right now. I thank God for you and your ministry, "God bless thee and keep thee".
Miss you Pastor Chuck, can’t wait to see you again in glory
I love Pastor Chuck. I am going to miss you. Say hello to my mom in heaven.
What a mighty man of God
Faith is my victory in Jesus Christ who is lord, God .
I consider Pastor Chuck my teacher of 30 years of radio ministry. I thank God almighty for Pastor Chuck. In God's glory. We celebrate for him, he finished his race and finished it well. Prayers for his family. God's grace will be their strength. Amen!
Thanks Pastor chuck Smith, you were always my teacher.
Oh how I MISS YOU
Me too.
I never even knew him, but I still listen to him every day. I miss Pastor Chuck like we were old friends.
Gods promises are true asking in Jesus Name I will never stop asking and never stop believing in Jesus Name because you say that you are Faithful and I believe you Jesus there is no other like you!!! 😊❤
Thank you to ur beautiful grandchildren....that helped me when i was homeless
Yes God will do it, believing in Jesus Name. I believe. ❤❤❤
In the 20th century, this man was America's greatest bible teacher and did more to address the sin of biblical illiteracy than anyone.
Preaching on sin, repentance,expounding on the grace of the finished work of the cross, and praying in Jesus name-Yes Chuck Smith was born a sinner, and died a sinner. Yes he was a mere mortal man but he had the wisdom to understand that the road was narrow, the atonement of the shed blood of Jesus Christ was sufficient and the tenacious courage to put it out there for the world to accept or reject. Well done good and faithful servant as you enjoy the heavenly company of the all star cast of the book of Hebrews in front of The Throne of Almighty God and His Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I remember listening to Chuck on KWVE in the 80's when I was a new believer, I looked forward to his teaching every day. It seemed he always delivered the Word that I needed to hear, always happy and positive, in fact, you can hear that same joy in his voice in this sermon, inflicted with cancer, he hobbles to the podium and says "What a joy, and what a blessing",
A true servant of the Living God, Thank You Lord for Brother Chuck
Lord be with you chuck. you brought many to christ and change there destination from doom to everlasting life. only that done for christ last for ever amen.
I am from India and I listen to Pastor Chuck Smith every day, he is encouraging me to grow in my Spiritual Journey! Thank you!
Amazing!
Well Chuck, I'm amazed that u spoke in this condition. I'm sure the Lord said well done.
miss you Chuck
Oh My Brother, Pastor, Spiritual Father. Lord, Thank you for this man.
There have been nights where I'd plug in Chuck Smith's old commentary tapes from the 80s through mp3 player and just listen through the night. This man is with the Lord now. He hasn't died. He's moved to a glorious new mansion built without hands. :)
Precious in the sight of the Lord Isthe death of His saints.
Psalm 116:15
You will be sorely missed Pastor Chuck! You were an example to us all! Enter into the joy of your Master!
Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow. Lord please help me to trust You. Thank You for this sermon and for your servant Pastor Chuck, whom I miss dearly. Please help me to walk worthy of my calling and please You.
I grew to know my Lord Jesus Christ because of Calvary Chapel, Downey, Costa Mesa and then Calvary, Spokane Washington. I read HARVEST years, years ago and it truly helped me know WHO GOD REALLY IS. THANK YOU JESUS FOR CHUCK SMITH!!! WHAT A COOL CHRISTIAN MAN!! I LOVE HIM AND EXCITED TO SEE HIM!!!
I’m so grateful Pastor Chuck was my mentor, as a young Christian, I attended a little Church in Safford Arizona... they had a library of the Bible on cassette. Every Sunday I would check out chapters of the scriptures, it was a glorious time going thru the Bible with Chuck! It gave me a solid foundation in the word, and 50 years later, I’m still growing in grace with my precious Pastor friend Chuck , I’m so grateful God allowed my path to cross with his! I would have not made it without the Lord using Pastor Chuck in the way that he taught the wonderful word so clearly with so much love! Thank you Lord for Your hand of mercy upon me, thank you dear Chuck for making a difference! I love You Lord, please tell Chuck I love him too!
His gifted teachings are difficult to forget.
I miss you pastor Chuck
I love Pastor Chuck Smith I try and listen to him everyday can't wait to see him and I believe I will someday it'll only be through the grace of God through the grace would Jesus did on the cross for me and everyone else God bless him
I'm 25 years old and he certainly help me know the bible more and taught me a lot. Jesus used him and I've never met him but I can't wait when I go to heaven.
Pastor Chuck, in his new body with no more pain. Thank you for all your sermons I was blessed to hear on my drive home from work every day.
I love chuck smith. He holds a dear place in my heart.
God bless Pastor Chuck and his family.I learned about him through the bridge radio app.I can feel his warmth through his words.A tru follower of Christ and an example for us Christians to follow.God bless you pastor chuck smith and may you be rejoicing on heaven along with our Father.Amen
You've never met me, but I know you well. You've never talked to me, but I can finish most of you're sentences and prayers. You've never even heard my name, but you helped change my life when it counted most in those first hardest years of my spiritual change from a pagan. You, more than anyone else. I listened to you for days every year and hours every day. Almost everything you published. I miss u Pastor Chuck, alot. Things are really bad out there, getting worse. The end is coming soon and while I'm happy you don't have to endure it, I childishly feel I need your words more than ever. But I know that you would tell me that I'm really strong, and I can endure as long as I keep moving forward in the right direction. I love you, Pastor Chuck. No Backward Step.
him and mcgee are classics andcwill always be in radio
Only by God The Holy Spirit is true!!! ❤❤❤
A very good Bible Teacher.
Chuck was my first pastor and has a special place in my heart. I received my spiritual footing at big Calvary...it will always be my home here on earth. Thank you Pastor Chuck for your faithfulness to the Lord. Praise God, you have moved straight into the arms of Jesus.
Just because it's difficult for me doesn't mean it is so for Almighty God. It warms my heart to hear this dear and godly man speak of God's goodness to me and how He answers prayer according toHis perfect plan for me
Wow, I didn't know that Honorable Pastor Chuck Smith passed away. I'm surprised, I have been listening to his teaching...very well that I understood how he explains and taught me. I will miss him, now that I found out. Love you and RIP IN GOD'S HAND. ❤🙏❤
I became a born again Christian at age 9 yrs old at Calvary chapel Costa Mesa with Pastor Chuck. Thank You Lord for getting to connect with him.
WITH CHUCK SMITH I GOT TO KNOW ABOUT THE BIBLE THAN NO ONE ELSE.
IT WAS A PRIVILEGE AND L
PLEASURE TO MEET HIM IN MY LIFE.
HE LEFT GOOD FOUNDATIONS IN ME IN KNOWING ABOUT JESUS.
R.I.P. WITH OUR KING OF KINGS JESUS.
You can tell He is very weak. I used to Hear Him on my lunch break in the 80s. Very comforting. Now in the Glory for some years.. Lord Blessed Him..
I've never seen this man ...but listened to his surmons for the last 10 years ... So he died ...quite sad ... He left a legacy and preachings
A saint called by the Lord, even at his last days never let his body hindered him from serving his Great Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
He was such a bold witness for Jesus. I know he is having an incredible time with Jesus but he is still greatly missed and will be until we are home!
Sure. We still learn alot from him. Watching from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪 East Africa
I love you Chuck, thank you so much for your faithfulness.
What a blessing to me...I am on oxygen and keep debating myself about how I can be useful to God and others, God put this sermon first on my feed
Miss Pastor Chuck. He truly loved the Lord! I still listen to him and always will.
His voice is like a lamp. I listened to him in the early 80's he still sounds the same. He is in the presence of the Lord. Job well done.
A few days after God shed His Grace on me and saved me I found this man on the radio and I some how knew The Lord was going to teach me His Word and His Ways through this man, (Jan 6, 1981)...Thanks Be To God....Return quickly Lord Jesus...Amen !!
This was the last sermon he did before he past away. God Bless Chuck, he was a true blessing and child of GOD. He has many crowns, and living with our own true loving GOD and our Lord Jesus Christ.
So blessed to hear Pastor Chuck again. Even more thankful to recall he's been delivered from the worn out tent and as MOVED in to that eternal home that has been prepared for him. Forever!
All this time he's been rejoicing in the presence of his great God and Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.
We'll see you again!
Dave and Dee
Thanks for everything Pastor Chuck, we shall see you on the other side!!!! You are a beautiful and will be greatly missed!!!!
Pastor Chuck Smith was among others that the Lord used to feed me when I was first saved in 1980 and beyond. I look forward to thanking him one day when we meet again, and today rejoice in God's use of His servants to minister to us all.
I will miss Pastor Chuck, he gave the best spiritual food....
the only tribute we can pay to chuck smith is to live the way he taught us to live accepting jesus christ in our life and living not according to our flesh but by the spirit. JESUS help us.
How I love this dear man!
Such a Blessing. The last message from a mighty servant of the Lord. We will miss you, Pastor Chuck. You were a "one'r" on this earth. We are thankful at last you are with our Father in Heaven and suffering no more. Always in our hearts; never to be forgotten. ~0:'-)
I grew up going to Calvary Chapels in Las Vegas, NV. I've never found a better church, a better way of teaching, and a better way of understanding Who God is, and who we are because of God. Admittedly, I did not know that Pastor Chuck Smith passed away, or that he died of cancer until now.
My own Mom died of Cancer in 2010, my Dad is also a Cancer Survivor, and so am I. But God was with us all during the hardest times, and remains with us even now. My Mom's death didn't shake my faith, nor did my own cancer diagnosis; rather it drew me closer to God, as I understand that disease is not caused by God, but exists because this is a Fallen World. It drew me closer to God, and I walked hand in hand with Christ who was my source of comfort and strength.
I'm so glad I was able to see this. Thank you for posting!
+The Moonlit Quill may jesus bless you in so many way
Yes it is absolutily true that disease is not caused by God ,but exists because this world we live in, is a fallen world.
Calvary chapel spring valley !
Learned much about God through Pastor Chuck’s ministry.
I watch you from a far, never been to your church, but your sermons changed my life. My mom at the same time as you, had lung cancer, and died in 2005. GOD used you to get me through that time... I know your in heaven with her still preaching. may your soul and my momma's RIP... Love is forever...
When i lived in ca. In the 80s i listened to pastor chuck driving tractor trailer up and down 99 so glad i found him on youtube
We loved Chuck so much, What a man of God!!!!!!!! We went to his Church for ten years!!!! Now he is with the Lord for all of Eternity!! LIFE GOES BY SO FAST, PUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS!!!!!!
I attended Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara for over 20 years and got to see Chuck Smith 2 times and also listened to his radio show fairly often- what a precious man we were blessed with on this Earth.
Thank you good and faithful servant...
mighty man of god may you rest pastor chuck wish I could have met you
I miss Pastor Chuck. I remember meeting him at the Bible school, and following his Sunday service close to forty years ago.
Hi Dee. Do you remember me from the Bible school? I was one of your teachers. I just came across this sermon and it definitely speaks to me. I hope you are well.
I remember listening to pastor chuck back in the 80's
See you later, Pastor Chuck. We knew you were going to move sometime, as we all will. It was probably back in the 70's that I first heard you and listened to you every day on my way to work at 7:30 AM. I had never heard anybody speak as you did... it was so real, so clear, so easy to understand. Thank you for your years of service. How many have come to know Christ through your teaching. God bless your family. You are much loved and always will be.
Praise God for Chuck Smith.
Only now have I learnt with shock that the man of God is not alive. Surely its true that good men don't die. He lives in his sermons, all glory to God. Great teacher of the Word of God.
Chuck is Alive. Through your teachings I'm understanding The word of God.
Good to find you. Love you great man. I walk in your spirit to impart my generation.
Everyday I hear this man’s bible studies ! He belong to Jesus ! God had blessed him with wisdom and understanding. Truly a good wise teacher !
35 years ago my sister went to America came back with a set of cassette of chuck smith teaching I was only a baby in the lord,up until now Im still listening to him every day.he make the bible so easy for me to understand and I thank God for his ministry and his calling .hes on my list of those I wanna meet when I get to heaven.chuck smith was my spiritual father,I would not remain in the family of God if I didn’t receive the proper teaching of the scripture from this faithful man of God,,thank you thank you thank you so much Chuck and your wife and your kids with your ministry,I’m Samoan living in Brisbane Australia
Pastor Chuck Smith was an amazing Bible teacher and a true servant of the Lord. We love him so very much.
this is a man who lived a life praising God rather than fearing death. a wonderful lesson for us all.
I believe that people who truly believe they are returning to the Lord when they leave here, have no fear of death, but rather, look forward to being with the Lord. I'd be willing to bed Pastor Chuck was exactly like that and so spend his last days and moments keeping busy for the Lord, so that the transition was barely noticeable and a smooth presence into glory.
My dear Pastor Chuck, God bless and keep thee throughout eternity .........
What a wonderful man of God! We can look forward to seeing him again in a brand new body, just as we will have on that glorious day!
This man of God teaching has inspired many not only in the united states but in the Bahamas. I was sad to learn of his passing. Absent from the body, present with the Lord. God is good!
I miss you Pastor Chuck.,
I cried when I saw him on this video. I miss him so much, I can’t wait to see him in Heaven. Amen
What a great Witiness for God
Pastor Chuck, with out your faithfulness to God my life and thousands others would not have learned how to have and live a personal relationship with Jesus. By the wonderful teaching that you faithfully gave to your flock in the Bible. Thank you for your dedication and service to God and His church that he intrusted to you. We will miss you dearly, but knowing I will see you at the heavenly throne of God.
I miss you Chuck, my spiritual Father. Cant wait to see you in heaven in your new body.
I have been so blessed when the LORD lead me to this man's studies less than a year ago, he was truly a very blessed man,
I lived about a mile from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and started attending in 1979. God changed my life thru Pastor Chuck and I will always have a tender spot in my heart for him. He was the first person that taught me the Word of God instead of preaching AT me. For the first time I was able to understand and see how practical the Word was and is. For this I will always be grateful to Pastor Chuck and God.
The emphasis on God and His Word instead of dress and tradition, the contemporary music for worship, attendance instead of membership - were all so new to me and attractive to draw me in to Christian fellowship. I think these things were allowed/practiced by Chuck since he put God first.
Chuck taught the rightly divided word of God right up to the end.
He ran the course, and finished his race.
He gave this message on a Sunday and went home to be with the Lord 3 days later.
For myself, and I'm sure for many others, Calvary Costa Mesa was the most blessed place to be in Southern California in the 90's.
