Thru the Bible - Sunday Sermon

Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Life Begins

January 14, 2024

(Philippians 1:21) Just as physical life begins with a birth, spiritual life begins with a birth.” That's the important truth we'll hear in this study of Philippians 1:21. Together we'll learn that real life begins when we come to Jesus Christ in faith and learn to trust Him. Then and only then are we born again.

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.

(Proverbs 30:24-31) Have you ever taken the time to ponder the wonders of the animal kingdom? They have a tremendous way of teaching us about the ways of God and how to have a godly character.

(Genesis 3) What is Christmas? When and where did it begin? While the answers may seem obvious, Dr. McGee's thoughts on the matter may surprise you. Celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, by traveling to an unexpected place—way back to the Old Testament book of Genesis—where we see that Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost. That’s the real Christmas story that begins with Adam and Eve and goes down through the centuries.

(Proverbs 11:15) Our recent economic crisis in the U.S. has crippled banks as they reeled from the effect of homeowners who found themselves upside down in their loans and simply abandon their properties to the banks to deal with. The consequences of such decisions have been made clear in the pages of Scripture.

Who is the Holy Spirit? And what does it mean in Ephesians 4:30 when it says we can "grieve" Him? Dr. McGee explains that through sin and ignorance of spiritual truths, we can limit God in our lives. But we cannot lose our salvation because of God's promise that we are "sealed until the day of redemption."

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.
