Nothing good comes from turning our backs on God. It’s a sobering reality we see in the people of Israel in Hosea’s time—and also in our culture today.

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.

As our study of the Old Testament book of Hosea continues, we learn we’ve got a lot in common with Israel. We also learn we need to be fixing our hope on the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Join us in Hosea, chapter 3, for more of the intriguing story of Israel and how we can apply it to our lives as well.

“A great many people think they can live the Christian life in their own strength, which always means defeat.” That’s the wisdom our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, shares as we study how Joshua’s army got the victory at Jericho because God was leading the charge. But in their next battle against the small city of Ai, they were defeated—because they thought they could handle it on their own.

In Hosea, chapter 2, we’ll learn that even though Israel will be disciplined, God is not through with them. Hosea prophesies that after the day of judgment, there will be a great turning to God among all twelve tribes of Israel, and he comforts them by saying that one day God will call them “My people” once again.

Have you ever wondered if we can “out sin” God?” Or to put it another way, “Can we ever sink so low and sin so much that God’s grace can’t reach us?” These are the difficult questions our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, answers as he guides us through the first chapter of Hosea.

In our first study, we’ll learn Hosea’s tragic story is a model of God’s broken heart for the nation of Israel. Hosea speaks from first-hand experience, to warn the people they are breaking God’s heart … just as surely as his own family’s circumstances have broken his.

Hebrews 13 says, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today and forever.” Not only is this one of the most popular verses in Scripture, it’s also one of the most misapplied verses, as well.

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.
