(Hebrews 5:116:3) There comes a time in our spiritual lives when we must grow up and face life with courage and maturityto leave the basics and move toward a more resilient, effective faith. That was the call the writer of Hebrews made to the Jewish Christians struggling with persecution under the reign of mad Nero, and it's the call to each of us as well.

An overwhelming majority of people today believe that they will go to heaven. Some even believe that one day all people of all time will dwell in the presence of God, and they claim to have Scriptural support for this theory. But do they?

Dr. McGee says "the most important thing to do in our suffering is to draw near to God. When we do, He promises to draw near to us. In this popular message, he gives us seven reasons Scripture says we suffer, and also suggests four benefits of suffering for the believer.

The angel Gabriel is perhaps most well-known for breaking the news to Mary about her pregnancy with the Lord Jesus Christ. But it wasn’t the first time he came to earth and spoke of Jesus. In this intriguing study in the book of Daniel, find out why both appearances are important to us today.

(Daniel 9) The neglect of prayer has affected all areas of the Christian's personal life and the total life of the church. That is why we need to see men like Daniel as our models for prayer.

(Daniel 9) With every wind of change in the news there are those who attempt to use events to determine the exact date that the Lord will return for the church. Although the day and hour of Christ’s return is unknowable, there is a very precise prophetic calendar in Scripture.

(Daniel 1) Throughout history, we have venerated and highly esteemed those whoin the midst of temptation, turmoil, trials and troubleshave stayed the course and followed God, unmoved by the opposition they faced. Daniel is one such man.

(Titus 2:11-15) If you want to know how to become a Christian and what your life should look life after making the decision to follow Jesus, this foundational sermon answers these questions and many more. Dr. McGee turns to Titus to show us that children of God are different in their origin, in their manner of life, and in their destination.

(Ezekiel 47) In this age of grace, is the Holy Spirit being slowly withdrawn from the world? Dr. J. Vernon McGee entertains two extreme viewpoints and then shares his more balanced opinion on the matter.

During the Millennium there will be built a new temple with a return to the sacrificial system. But if Christ’s death on the cross removed the need for sacrifices for sins, why is there a return to the sacrificial system during the Millennium?

The most powerful, beautiful, and awesome angel of all is also the archenemy of mankind. He is fearful and very dangerous, and his name is Satan.

In the ancient Near East, the first line of defense was to build a wall around a city. But they also needed to know if an enemy was approaching, so they put watchmen on the wall. The Scriptures take that image and make application for our role in the world as Christians.

During these early years of the 21st century, we have faced overwhelming problems that appear to have no answer. There seems to be no end to the personal and social ills that plague us. Is there no place we can turn for relief?

(2 Timothy 3) The source of most societal problems can be traced to difficulties in the homeadultery, divorce, abuse, teenage rebellion, pornography, and the list goes on. But what are the answers to these troubles?

(2 Timothy 2:2) The world, the flesh and the devil. According to Dr. J. Vernon McGee, these are three enemies that constantly oppose and seek to destroy every child of God. In this study we determine the strategy of these three enemies and discover the method to overcome them and live in victory.

What will you say when you come to the end of your life’s journey? Will you look back at all your accomplishments or express gratitude for those who impacted your life for good? Is there something even more important to speak about at that time?

God would take an entire book of the Old Testament to put a primary emphasis on a particular doctrine that was to be developed in Christ. I suppose God patiently, again and again and again, went over these things so that the human family might learn. Dr. J. Vernon McGee shares this truth and shows us how God used Jonah to foreshadow the greatest story ever toldthe resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As the day of Christ's death drew near, His burden for Jerusalem grew heavy in His heart. But Jesus was not the only man to weep over Jerusalem, for there was a man whom God used to send His final message of judgment to the people of Judah.

When God spoke through His prophets, He had them use real life experiences or even act out their messages. Hosea was told to marry a prostitute, Ezekiel dug through a wall in his house, and Joel used a locust storm to make his point. And in Jeremiah’s prophecy we find one of the most familiar prophetic illustrations of all.

Among the noise and activity of life in a busy world, it can be difficult to find a quiet spot away from the telephones, televisions, cars, sirens, and many other distractions. But believers can find a sanctuary of the soul.

(Jeremiah) If you’re not worshipping the living God, you have a god. It may be yourself, money, status, sex, or something else. We have many substitutes for God. That's the important message we hear from Dr. J. Vernon McGee as we the travel the pages of Jeremiah. Hear Jeremiah's earnest pleadings and solemn warnings to those who turned from God and see why the words of the ancient prophet still speak to us today.

If you had to choose a man to give a harsh message to an unresponsive and hostile audience, would you pick someone with tender emotions who would likely cry about the message he had to deliver? That's the kind of man God chose to bring a tough message to His people.

Over 40 years ago, Dr. McGee said that lawlessness is growing and will finally break out until it actually is world revolution. Lawlessness began with the fall of man in Genesis chapter 3, and according to Scripture it will culminate in the person of the Antichrist during the Great Tribulation.

Paul wraps up his first letter to the Thessalonians with instructions for Christians to follow as we look for Jesus Christ’s return. These are practical instructions, designed to impact us on the sidewalks of lifewherever we are called to walk. One of them is to not quench the Spirit. But what does that mean? Dr. McGee gives us three commands we must carry out before we can see the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
