Q&A #22 – Fiery Trials
Pastor Jack Hibbs answers questions regarding 1 Peter. Here are the questions:
1. After enduring trials, Job says to the Lord, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.” Can you explain what he means here?
2. If you were thrown in prison and tortured for being a Christian, what would be your go-to Psalm or worship song, and why?
3. How can we practically rejoice in our sufferings?
If you are part of our online church community you can submit a question too! Feel free to text (909) 726-5336 on Sundays. Only questions pertaining to Sunday’s teaching will be considered.

Thank you pastor Hobbs for preaching the Word👏
Thank you for this Q&A Pastor Jack….My go to Psalm would be Psalm 23…where it says "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil,for Thou art with me,Thy rod and Thy staff, they Comfort me….. " Not sure what my go to hymn would be…Maybe "It is well,with my soul", that part where it says "whatever my lot,Thou hast taught me to say,it is well,it is well with my soul" God bless….Maranatha!
God was with me an I knew him closer than ever in my christain lifeEveryday I prays an thank him he is an awsome God.I could not make it without his word
He is like the wind,we can not see him but we feel his presence.He left with us his Holy Spirit
For me Psm.91 and " Trust and Obey."…Love and prayers Paster Jack!
I just got serious with Jesus almost a year ago after having been sick for over 6-7 MONTHS!! Mind you, I’d been through rehab for alcohol (4 years ago this month—3 at that time) after a 20-year addiction, and had a little over 1-1/2 years of release from a severe pain pill addiction (after almost a decade of that—due to surgeries and injuries), and now I’m in my 6th week of not smoking cigarettes after a 27-year habit/addiction!! God is REAL!! I had no desire to stop smoking…didn’t even want to, but I knew it was grieving the Holy Spirit so I asked God to take my desire for them! This has NOT BEEN OF MY OWN WILLPOWER or I’d have done it years ago!!! This is God, my Father!!! I’ve seen Him work in my life!! Not someone else’s!!! If you believe and will trust Him, God will work wonders!! Now I’m just praying for God to help me get my teeth fixed s my smile will reflect my heart!! Please, pray that God will open a door for that!! I don’t have 15,000 to get 3 implants (that’s not including the other 4 crowns I need), and my gums won’t support a partial or dentures. I just don’t believe God healed my heart and soul to leave me embarrassed about my smile!! Please, please pray that God will open that door and help me pass my 5-hour test to become a certified medical coder after working so hard in my classes!! I’m doing my best (have an A in every class), and I’m trusting God to fulfill that need!! Thank you for your prayers!! I have no insurance!!! Thank you Pastor Jack for your encouraging words!! I’ve been listening to your series on Isaiah as I have time between classes!! God is using you to reach so many people who are starving for God’s Word!!! May God bless and keep you and your family and church family!!!
Keep your eyes on God He an he alone brought me through a heart reching time in my life.
Wow you can go to prison for preaching the gospel in California? I haven't heard that. See how the media wont say or cover this. I'll be in jail so quickly.
You, dear brother, man of truth and light. We so appreciate you! 👍❤😇
Watch Joni Eareckson Tada: Refined by fire….she's such aspiration to me!
Thanks for being a blessing in my life Pastor Jack. I have thanked God for you, his servant, many times. Much love from Minnesota!
So true! Thank you!
Wow California is Christianaphobic? It's spreading but God is watching! I saw Greg Laurie couldn't have a bible on the billboard.
Even though I live on the East coast I consider you my Pastor. Praise God that you are online.
I agree that through suffering we grow in wisdom, knowledge, understanding and deeper love for God who is our strength and courage!
Pastor those are awesome answers I truly believe that, concerning Job, the very day that I watched your video about the trials knowing that God is in control, I definitely saw God is a situation that my son was going through, and although I wanted to worry at first in my heart it took but not even a second for it to go away it's amazing what God does bless you
Amen

Amen
Thank you for these insights!
Why, do people take one or two verses to try, to teach these false things. Read for yourself here are some, that God let them see Him and they did not die, for He has the power of life and death and if He chooses to let you see Him, who are you to say that HE cannot? ) Exo 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: Exo 24:10 And THEY SAW the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven IN HIS CLEARNESS. Exo 24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also THEY SAW GOD, and did eat and drink Exo 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses FACE TO FACE, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. Gen 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God FACE TO FACE, and my life is preserved. Gen 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, THREE men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, Gen 18:22 And THE MEN turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham STOOD YET BEFORE THE LORD Gen 18:33 And the LORD WENT HIS WAY, as soon as he had left COMMUNING WITH Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. Gen 19:1 And there CAME TWO angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; Jhn 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and HAVE SEEN HIM. Jhn 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, Philip? he that hath SEEN ME HATH SEEN the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
"TRUST" this was great, hope you do more of these short and thoughtful messages.
so I was on facebook and joined a knitting chat room. I was unaware that one of the moderators was a Wiccan until she said "show us your witchy things" and said she was a wiccan. I stated that I love knitting but could not accept that a wiccan was in charge of the page, so I left. a message from another member was sent to me saying "why did you announce you were leaving so publicly? you could have just left. And doesn't the bible say that you shouldn't judge?" I know that I did right but I know I did it in the wrong manner. Is there something I could have said that would have prompted someone to want to know more about Jesus without offending ? or is offence a given?
