Numbers 15:1—16:3

February 16, 2022

By the time we reach Numbers 15, a lot has changed. God turned His back on Israel for their unbelief and they began to wander in the wilderness. Although it seems like all hope is lost, Dr. McGee shares that God’s plan was not destroyed. God made a promise to His people, and He will deliver them to the Promised Land. Find out how.

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.

When we lose sight of God, we find ourselves in scary unknowns. The people of Israel sent twelve spies into the land of Canaan, which Dr. McGee points out was not God’s idea. In Numbers 13 and 14, discover what happens to the nation of Israel when they go ahead of God and try to do things on their own. Their fear leads them to a critical point of decision between belief and unbelief.

How often we lose sight of God’s faithfulness. In Numbers 11, the children of Israel lost sight of God’s faithful provision and began to complain about the manna. They didn’t even have to do anything to get this manna except sit there and wait for it to appear. Yet they had the audacity to complain. Israel’s ungratefulness leads us to a somewhat painful but necessary truth: We are often just as forgetful and ungrateful.

1 Corinthians 14:40 tells us, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” If you haven’t noticed yet, God likes to do things in an organized, orderly manner—especially with the children of Israel. In this lesson, learn about God’s incredible attention to detail, the sufficiency of God’s leading, and the danger of complaining.

When you flip on the light switch in a dark room, everything in that room is suddenly revealed. The light of the Holy Spirit does the same thing for us—reveals us. This can be uncomfortable at times, as it brings to light our dirty disease of sin and our need of a Savior. In Numbers 8 and 9, learn how the lampstand and the laver paint a picture of the “light-shedding” process we walk with God in our daily lives.

Your gifts—no matter how big or small—are important to God. In fact, Numbers 7 is all about gifts that were given to the Lord. Be encouraged as we study the importance of keeping our vows to God, blessing found in His order, and joy found in Spirit-filled generosity.

Join us on the Bible Bus today as we cover an array of unique topics. Follow along as our tour guide, Dr. McGee, takes us through Numbers 5 and 6. We will be reminded of our disease called sin, the necessity of repentance, God’s righteous jealousy, and the Nazarite vow.

What job has the Holy Spirit given you to do? In Numbers 3 and 4, learn about the service of the priests, which is a picture of how the church should function today. If one of the priests did not do his job in the tabernacle service, then everyone suffered. Discover how our individual, God-given gifts can be indispensable when we use them to further the gospel message.

Are you born of God? In Numbers 1 and 2, discover the importance of being born again into God’s family. Dr. McGee talks about being able to know your “pedigree” as a Christian. Only when we are born again, through Jesus’ blood, can we learn to truly walk and live in the Spirit.

Welcome to the book of Numbers, friends. Dr. McGee calls this unique book of the Bible, “The Book of Pilgrim’s Progress,” because of the practical wisdom it offers. Through learning about the first census, discover how God deeply loves individuals. He cares to know your name, just as He cared to know every person named in the book of Numbers.

Have you ever surprised a friend or family member? Imagine Jesus after the Resurrection, surprising all His friends and family.

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.
