    Great teacher.
    It’s pretty amazing how good of a pastor he was. I used to hear him for years. But I didn’t listen hearing him and listening to him two different things. It didn’t make sense to years later. When I got saved in my 50s I Calvary Chapel Chino Hills with a jack Hibbs. All the preachers came out from Chuck Smith. Pretty amazing now I listen to Chuck Smith and hear Chuck Smith goes into the soul and makes everything so clear by the Holy Spirit. Listen to Chuck Smith here. Chuck Smith act on Chuck Smith. He’s amazing. I wish I would’ve met him before he passed.

    Verse by verse learning
    I love listening to Pastor Chuck. I wish I had met him when he was still alive as I think he was an awesome teacher. And I also love his sense of humor and the way he explains things. I also now listen to his protégé, Pastor Greg Laurie.

    These sermons are wonderful!
    I am not happy that these five daily sermons haven’t been a updated for four days! Please tell me you haven’t stopped.

    My eyes can see now.
    Pastor Chuck simplifies confusing passages by comparing them to our current lives. I have always had trouble trying Old Testament teachings to New Testament teachings.this podcast fills that gap. God Blessings.
  • Ps30:2
    Thank you for keeping this alive and well ...
    Having grown up with these solid teachings of Pastor Chuck, its a comfort to hear his voice as he goes through the entire Bible, verse by verse.

    Great resource
    Great resource for studying God’s word. Is there a podcast for the book of Ephesians?

    Learn the Bible
    I was saved in 1997 and attended Cccm and was so blessed by the anointed teachings. Pastor Chuck was a once in a lifetime pastor. God used this humble man. I am forever blessed by his teachings.

    He feeds the sheep
    There is quite honestly no one like Pastor Chuck! I have been listening to his teachings now for over 45 years. I always learn something new, and he feeds my soul! There is no substitute for teaching the Bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse. He is the gold standard! I am so incredibly grateful for Pastor Chock! His teaching never ceases to bless me. It’s so simple and so clear. He has truly been used of the Lord to change my life!

    Amazing preaching, intro, not so much
    The intro song is remarkably awful. It’s only by the power of the Holy Spirit in me that I can get through that 30 seconds to hear Pastor Chuck preach in a way that’s easy to listen to and follow, while not getting away from preaching the Bible. The length is just right for a daily podcast. Love it. Except the intro song. That part is dreadful.

    One of my favorite teachers of the Bible. I love the way he applies it with life. His personal stories are the treats of his teaching.

    Salvation
    God used Chuck Smith to draw me to Jesus in 1998 as a lost young woman. I would drive on the I-5 in CA and hear his preaching on the radio. I’ve been growing in Jesus for all these years now. Thankful for this ministry!

    No better Bible Teacher
    PastorChuck has been my favorite Bible Teacher for 35yrs his clear and balanced Bible teaching is in surpassed. I listened to him on KWVE for 20 years and now that I’m living in Utah I still get to listen to him on podcast. Thank you Word For Today for everything you do to keep his teachings alive.

    I got saved from listening to The Word for Today!
    Back in 1994 I was listening to Pastor Chuck and the Lord used him to bring me to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ! I’m so glad to find this podcast of the old radio show! Thank you for playing these, and I pray you never stop! May the Lord continue to use The Word for Today to turn many to Righteousness! Hallelujah!🙌

    Sound teaching
    One of the only pastor/bible teachers that I respect and admire on Kwave that explains the scriptures and accurately teaches the Word. I might not see eye to eye on non essentials but on the core truths of Christian living he is definitely worth listening to!

    Solid Bible teaching 🙌🏻
    Amazing Bible teacher! Chuck is as real as it comes when talking about his faith and teaching the Word of God. There is never a doubt that this man does not believe what he is teaching…truly a blessing to have his teachings on my iPhone.

    Bible Study
    Want to grow a relationship with God? Learning His Word “The Bible” is a great place to start building a good foundation. My love for God grows daily when I learn His word and spend time in prayer!!
  • HI.cOnCePt
    Sound teaching. Easy listening.
    Reminds me of a grandpa telling the grand kids stories. God has truly used this man to do great things while he was here. Teaches in a very pleasing and gentle way while still being sound in teaching the Bible. For those who don’t know, he along with Calvary Chapel which the Lord started through Pastor Chuck Smith teach verse by verse, chapter by chapter. Our pastor here has also adopted the same way of teaching and it has truly blessed me. The way we learn…. Context + Content = Meaning May God bless you all with a deeper relationship with Him!

    Blessed
    Chuck Smith is still ministering to my soul while in heaven. The Lord continues to use Chucks sermons to help me grow and get closer to Him. It’s amazing how Gods word endures forever even after the people he used are home with Him.
  • TDoxzon
    Forever Grateful!
    Was introduced to PChuck’s teachings in 1999. Two decades later I’m still listening to him daily. Simple, clear, through the entire Bible. Don’t know where I’d be today without God’s grace through PChuck!

    One of the best expository Bible teachers. His teachings are easy to know and apply. All people should listen and Pastors as well. May God keep blessing His work through Chuck Smith and his books at t w f t . O r g. God bless us all in these times where our eyes should be on Jesus. Focus Church! Study and pray, He is near!

    Pastor chuck Smith
    I’ve listened to pastor Chuck for 15 yrs and every time I hear him teach I learn something new! He is simply one of the beat teachers of the Bible I have ever listened to! His chapter by chapter teaching and the way he explains the versus is extraordinary and it pulls you in and don’t want to stop listening
  • Milton cat
    Verse by verse
    I cannot say how much this podcast has helped me grow in my walk with the lord. Pastor Chuck goes verse by verse through the Bible and explains what it all means and gives the relative context to explain it in everyday language that the Bible is easier to understand and relate to. I love that he explains the cultural practices so that when we read, it makes more sense. If you are are just curious about the Bible or a seasoned Christian, this podcast is for you. Love it. Thank you for making this podcast available!

    A Light in the Dark
    Last year was the worst year of my life. I had a lung collapse, tore two tendons in my knee and one in my shoulder, my younger sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given 5 years to live, my other sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, and after 6 months of testing and multiple biopsies I was told I had follicular lymphoma and thyroid cancer. The only thing that got me through it was listening daily to Pastor Chuck, often for several broadcasts at a time. It helped me reaffirm my faith and know that whatever the outcome on Earth, there were good things in my family’s future. My family is recovering slowly, but when you are faced with that kind of darkness, hope is hard to come by. I thank God for his continued broadcasts, which I still listen to daily, and hope to one day give him a giant hug when I get to Heaven.

    Thank you - HB214
    I never had the opportunity to meet Pastor Chuck Smith nor attend his church, but having listened to a number of his messages in the past has been a real blessing for me! Though not the biggest fan of technology, it does have its uses. Thank you for keeping Pastor Smith’s sermons freely available and please keep it updated. I really enjoy listening to him, God Bless!
  • Gal.v220
    Thank you Lord for your humble servant!
    I pray Pastor Chuck is exalted in the Heavens, for how many people have been touched and changed by his teaching of your precious Word. He brought your Son, Jesus Christ to the world! I know he your gifted, blessed child. He has changed my life in countless ways! I pray I can be just a fraction of his inspiration to my circle. Praise the Lord!

    I have been listening and reading along daily with Pastor Chuck since Oct. 25, 2011 (the start of the first podcast reading through the Bible) marking my bible with the beginning and ending of the daily reading. This is such a blessing to me. I am now on the second time reading of the Bible and each time I listen to God’s word, I learn more. Thank you for keeping this podcast going and blessing all those who listen. Have a Blessed day in the Lord.
