Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Acts 5

July 15, 2022

You’re likely familiar with the truth that the Lord gives and He takes away.  And sometimes that means life itself. In this study, we witness God taking life away. In a snap. Why would He do that? Hear Dr. McGee’s explanation as we continue to see the great effects of Peter’s second sermon and are introduced to the first defection in the early church by Ananias and Sapphira.

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.

Have you ever gotten to the end of the Gospel books—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—and asked, “So what happened next?” Beginning on the same day that the Gospel of Luke ends, written by the same writer, Acts continues the story with Jesus’ ascension and promise to return, the wait for the Holy Spirit, and Judas’ replacement.

As Boaz redeemed Ruth, so our Lord wants to redeem us. That’s the powerful truth in the happy ending of the story of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz.

Ruth is clear, she wants Boaz as her Kinsman Redeemer. So must our intentions be before we come before the Lord. That’s the connection our teacher Dr. McGee clear makes as the beautiful love story of Ruth and Boaz continues.

When all seems lost, God can make a way. That’s the theme of Ruth, chapter 3. The instructions Naomi gives Ruth as she comes before Boaz are also a beautiful picture of how we can come before the Lord Jesus and claim him as our Kinsman Redeemer.

Boaz shows kindness to Ruth, and Naomi hatches a plan. Join us as the redemption story of Ruth and Naomi—and each one of us—continues to unfold.

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.
