- 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 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!
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.
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. :)
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 !
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.
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 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...
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
I never even knew him, but I still listen to him every day. I miss Pastor Chuck like we were old friends.
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!
Well Chuck, I'm amazed that u spoke in this condition. I'm sure the Lord said well done.
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!
You read alot of junk on the web about Pastor Chuck but they did not know him. Pastor Chuck Smith was my friend and brother faithful to his calling til the end, he always gave God the glory and praise, Chuck touched many hearts over the years and still does thru radio and media worldwide.......Maranatha
I know he touched this fella - God bless you sister
I live in San Diego, I never knew of him before he passed, I feel so sad that I missed out, I love his sermons and have been watching and listening on you tube for about 6 months. He was wonderful, It is so obvious he loved God. God bless and keep this man and his church., Amen.
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.
Precious in the sight of the Lord Isthe death of His saints.
Psalm 116:15
Thank you to ur beautiful grandchildren....that helped me when i was homeless
Chuck you were the great mentor of my life.you taught me though the Bible.you pointed me to the cross.
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
I remember the first time I met Pastor Chuck. I walked past him at Calvary Chapel Ft Lauderdale before service. I didn't know who he was, but he smiled and I felt a warmth that I cant explain. So much so, I had to follow him to try and figure out what had just happened. Later when service started, Pastor Bob introduced Pastor Chuck. It all became so clear at that moment. God Bless you Pastor Chuck and thank you from a million souls which God, through you and your students, has claimed.
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.
I just now learned that Pastor Chuck went home, & I'm so blown away. I had no idea he was ill, let alone that he was 87! I thought he was only in his 50's or something...wow. His sermons saved my life. I learned more about the love of God and the truths about the Word from Pastor Chuck. What a guy...what a faithful believer...and those Hawaiian shirts...
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.
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.
I love Chuck Smith. Listened to him for years on the radio.
I love Pastor Chuck. I am going to miss you. Say hello to my mom in heaven.
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.
God bless all .
Though Pastor Chuck Smith is gone to be with the Lord, his sermons and teachings on RUclips and the Audio series still live on impacting many lives worldwide including the christian community in Africa. Thank God for such a gift to the world. I've been listening to his sermons since October 2013. May God be exalted!!
Yes I agree! I listen to him every day to and from work. I'm just now listening to him on RUclips.
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 !
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.
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..
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.
Hallelujah!!! Thank you lord Jesus Christ for using Chuck. 😊❤🙏🇺🇸
mighty man of god may you rest pastor chuck wish I could have met you
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.
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. ❤🙏❤
In the 20th century, this man was America's greatest bible teacher and did more to address the sin of biblical illiteracy than anyone.
I just started listening to pastor Chuck, i thank my sweet Savior for leading me to this kind, blessed man of God i can't wait to meet him in heaven.
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 thank God for Pastor Chuck because of how his sermons have transformed my Understanding and my faith in our lord Jesus christ
Amen
I cried when I saw him on this video. I miss him so much, I can’t wait to see him in Heaven. Amen
A very good Bible Teacher.
The finest pastor I've never heard. You have made a profound difference in my Christian walk! You will be greatly missed! Mizpah Chuck!
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!!!
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
he said he would never retire chuck preached the Sunday before his death Amen
Rejoice for we will all see Chuck again in glory with our heavenly father. 😇
Chuck is Jesus arms now. What a blessing his teachings of the Bible was to my family. Thank you for helping us understand the importance of studying the Bible.
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.
We miss you Pastor Chuck! We will see you hen We get there! A great man of God!
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.
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.
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 !!
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
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".
Although I have never met Pastor Chuck, I have considered him my pastor for over 20 years. I have listened to his complete bible series and always find him spot on with his teachings. His life and endurance in the faith is a testimony for us all.
I love the fact that you share so freely and thank you for translating his messages in Spanish as I am a missionary to Nicaragua and can share his MP3 files there as well.

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!
Working til the end🙏🏾serving God R.I.P Pastor you did well🕊💫
I went to Calvary and heard him as young as 17 yrs old. Wish I never stopped. I attended off and on for years and now listen to him (& Kay) on the TWFT app every morning as I work. I'm so blessed and I share sermons as they touch my heart with others who I think it will help them. I thank God for this faithful servant, brother in the Lord. 🥰🥰
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.
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.
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

What a mighty man 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.
I will always consider Pastor Chuck my mentor my Pastor and the most wonderful man I have ever been blessed to have known 😂
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!
I'm sad that he crossed over but I am happy knowing God got him.
amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now i'm found was blind but now i see.
somebody say amen
Amen. I listened to CC for years when I lived in another town. I listened all day and I felt as if chuck was bringing me a new dimension of spirituality that I knew was there and was eager to accept. I just now learned today of Chucks passing. I wept, my prayers to his family and his flock. This man helped me for over a decade.

I listen to his Bible teachings each day morning and night through our local Christian station Radio316 from Nairobi Kenya.
Rest in peace servant of GOD...
Thanks Pastor chuck Smith, you were always my teacher.
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.
Learned much about God through Pastor Chuck’s ministry.
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.
Miss Pastor Chuck. He truly loved the Lord! I still listen to him and always will.
Pastor Chuck Smith has moved from his “temporary tent” as he said 💕🙏🥰 we are blessed to have his work online! He knew so much about biblical history & secular history, and that’s what made him a great teacher of the Word of our Lord Jesus. I love his recordings. I listen almost every day in the morning.
A true man of God. We will miss you Pastor Chuck. Praise God you are with Jesus now forever......
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
Pastor Chuck has been dedicated to bring viewers the solid word of God with sound principles. He preaches unadulterated word of God drawing all people to Christ. Since i started to study hand in hand with his studies through the bible i got more and more stronger in faith...... never to forget his sermon" when life is overwhelming....... God rest you in eternal peace........
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.
I go to Calvary Chapel in Newport News, VA wish I could have met Mr. Smith. He has a special place in heaven he has done great things here on earth.
Simple yet powerful sermons. Continue to bless us even years after he is gone to be with the LORD! God is able and faithful. I trust Him. Amen
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.
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
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!
miss you Chuck
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.
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 miss you pastor Chuck
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!!!!!!
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
I was in high school in 69-72 and was at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa all the time and for some years after. We were in a tent at first and then the building you see here went up. Pastor Chuck was a fantastic man! We also had great music. You are right Frogman, great memories.
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.
His gifted teachings are difficult to forget.
Thank you Father for a dedicated and wonderful servant, Chuck Smith. It was always a delight to hear his sermons for so many years. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints! Praise God forever!
amen. till we His children meet in the clouds. what a day that will be. see you here there or in the air
How I love this dear man!
Pastor Chuck was instrumental in leading me to the Lord in 1980. His bible studies have always been sound and inspirational. God Bless You Pastor Chuck and many thanks!
Wow, it makes me uneasy seeing Pastor Chuck in such a weakened state, yet still preaching. I'm sure he wanted to just keep preaching until the end and that it was hard for him to not be in his pulpit. Lord bless him~
