Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Looking at Faith in the Laboratory of Life

December 22, 2019

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” But does that really help us understand what faith is or how it works? Fortunately, the writer of Hebrews goes on to illustrate faith in the lives of men and women God has used in times past.

References: Hebrews 11:1-3

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.

How one perceives the issue of death speaks volumes about who they are. But no matter what, one thing is true: It’s the end of life on this earth. But is death really the final stage of this life, with no hope for a future beyond?

Life is a series of asking questions and finding answers, so perhaps that’s why so many popular tv and radio shows—such as the famous 1960’s show after which this sermon is titled—have been based on asking questions. But what is the $64,000 question in the Bible?

According to the Law of Moses, the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement to sprinkle blood on the Mercy Seat. He acted as a mediator between God and Israel. Today, we also have a High Priest: Jesus Christ.

An overwhelming majority of people today believe that they will go to heaven. Some even believe that one day all people of all time will dwell in the presence of God, and they claim to have Scriptural support for this theory. But do they?

For almost a millennium, the children of Israel possessed Palestine. But because of their disobedience, they were taken away into captivity. That was the beginning of a new period in which Jerusalem would be “trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

The neglect of prayer has affected all areas of the Christian's personal life and the total life of the church. That is why we need to see men like Daniel as our models for prayer.

With every wind of change in the news there are those who attempt to use events to determine the exact date that the Lord will return for the church. Although the day and hour of Christ’s return is unknowable, there is a very precise prophetic calendar in Scripture.

Throughout history, we have venerated and highly esteemed those who—in the midst of temptation, turmoil, trials and troubles—have stayed the course and followed God, unmoved by the opposition they faced. Daniel is one such man.

Credit itself is not good or bad; it’s a tool you can control for good or which can control you when the debt becomes too overwhelming. Paul uses another kind of credit when dealing with reconciliation between a slave and his master.

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.
