Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Joshua 21, 22

June 9, 2022

“God has made available to us all spiritual blessings, but we are slack when it comes to claiming them,” says Dr. McGee in today’s study. Follow along as we learn about how the different tribes of Israel inhabit the Promised Land and how they don’t claim some of the gifts God had given them. May you be reminded today of the freedom God has given us to receive His gifts.

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.

Don’t miss out on God’s blessing because of fear. In today’s lesson, we’ll see a piece of the Promised Land given to each tribe of Israel. After God assigned them the land, it was their job to go out and get it—to establish their lives and take hold of God’s blessing. Dr. McGee reminds us not to let fear keep us from courageously “taking hold” of God’s blessing in our lives.

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.
