Glad Tidings of Great Joy

July 18, 2021

On one fateful night, shepherds stood in awe as a vast company of angels declared the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. That same feeling should sweep over our own lives as we consider the Great Joy who came to die so that we might have life.

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

After Malachi delivered God's final message in the Old Testament, there was a strange silence for more than 400 years.  People began to wonder, “Has God forgotten us? Has He withdrawn?” Dr. McGee answers those questions from the perspective of history and tells us how and why God began speaking again.

Over the course of history, many nations have come to a place where the political, moral, and spiritual degradation of its people have led them so far from God that there is no hope for recovery. The Book of Isaiah shows us these things from God’s perspective.

One of the most widely recognized, and arguably the greatest, parables of Jesus is found in Luke 15. As Dr. McGee paints a verbal picture of the story of the prodigal son, the Scripture reveals the loving nature of our Father.

There’s nothing like going to a wedding and seeing the bride appear in all her glory as she walks down the aisle. The story of Isaac and Rebekah paints a picture for us of Christ anticipating the receiving of His bride, the church.

We no longer have a place where we present sacrifices, because Jesus Christ fulfilled the need for a sacrifice by the giving of His life.  But God is still calling out people to be used by Him as a kingdom of priests.

Jesus uses the illustration of the vine and the branches to picture His relationship to the church. Dr. McGee brings out the practical teaching for believers today.

One of the most tender ways God expresses His love and care for us is by describing Himself as a Shepherd and each of us as His sheep. But who exactly is counted among “His” sheep? And what exactly is He trying to tell us? Join Dr. McGee for a  meaningful tour through the pages of Scripture (including a final stop in Psalm 23) as he answers these questions and more.

One of the most popular hymns of all times is “Amazing Grace.” Perhaps the reason is that we can all identify with the hopeless condition of the lost and the amazing grace of God that is able to save the most wretched soul. But how is God’s grace revealed in the Scriptures?

God is following a plan. This truth is revealed in the numerous prophecies recorded in the Scriptures. Most have already been fulfilled, but there are still many waiting for the day of their fulfillment, particularly those dealing with the Second Coming of Christ.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
