Dr. J. Vernon McGee

2 John 9—13

August 13, 2020

The Apostle John’s favorite word was love.  But not the sentimental, sloppy version of what we call “love.” John tells us about God’s love modeled by God’s people. In this study, learn about our need to abide in the doctrine of Christ so we can avoid false teachers. John warns us: If we entertain these deceivers, we are a partner in their deeds.

References: 2 John 1:9

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.

The book of Second John reminds us of the dangers of extremes. So, how do godly people live in this world?

“When love and truth are in conflict, which one should prevail?” That’s what we’ll learn in this study of 2 John.

Jesus is our Advocate today. That’s the good news we’ll hear in Micah’s final message to the Israelites as he calls all nations to listen. Instead of lodging a charge against them, God asks them, “What am I guilty of?” and then reminds them of His care for them throughout history.

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. J. Vernon 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.
