God gives second, third, and even fourth chances to those He loves. That’s the great message we learn as Jonah arrives on dry land. Our study then continues as Dr. McGee explains more about Nineveh, its great size, and its great propensity for sin.

“Salvation is of the Lord!” That’s the good news we hear as Dr. J. Vernon McGee continues to make connections between the Old and New Testaments and tells more about Jonah’s newfound obedience to the Lord.

Is it possible to live three days and three nights inside a fish? And if so, wasn’t it possible for the God who raised Jesus from the dead to do the same thing for Jonah? These are the questions Dr. McGee explores as we study Jonah’s prayer and submission to God’s will as he was being swallowed.

Did Jonah really get swallowed by a big fish? In this study, Dr. McGee answers that important question and shows how God used the storm in the life of Jonah and the pagan sailors onboard the ship traveling to Tarshish.

How far will God go to reach runaway Jonah? And what will the consequences of his disobedience be? In this study, we’ll find out as God sends a storm to turn him around.

Jonah went west when God told him to go east. What happens next? Follow along as we learn that God is with us—even in the most difficult of circumstances.

Dr. J. Vernon McGee says that in only four short chapters, the book of Jonah deals with six significant subjects: Jesus’ resurrection and salvation (not by works); God’s purposes, faithfulness, goodness, and grace. He is the God of the Gentiles!

Is it really true? Dr. J. Vernon McGee answers this important question, as we explore the historical authenticity and spiritual value of this highly criticized Old Testament book.

Should Christians be involved in politics? This is just one of the important topics our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, talks about as he wraps up the story of Edom’s judgment with good news for us all.

Edom certainly was prideful! But even though Edom ceased to exist long ago, its message for us today is certainly clear. In this study, Dr. J. Vernon McGee warns us about the pride that can creep into our society, our churches, our homes, and of course within ourselves.

What are the dangers of pride and godless living? Edom is a terrific example. Find out how God reacts when men try to overthrow God and become deity themselves.

When Esau despised his birthright, he declared he didn’t care about God at all. Some 1200 years later, when his descendants had become a great people, they followed in his steps—declaring their ability to live without God, thinking they were perfectly secure without Him. Find out how God deals with this type of arrogance in the very unusual prophecy of Obadiah.

“A small book that packs a big punch.” That’s how Dr. J. Vernon McGee describes Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament. In this first study, we’ll learn more about the prophet and the important message he had for Edom.

“You can’t keep God from loving you, but you can put up an umbrella of indifference and sin and rebellion. Then you won’t experience it, but He still loves you.” That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, has to say about the great news that there is nothing that can separate you from the love of God. Hear more in this conclusion to our study of Second Peter.

“Our time left on earth is limited” is the important message our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, has for us in this study of the world that was, the world that is, and ultimately the world that will be after God’s judgment.

Ominous. That’s the word that sums up this study. Dr. J. Vernon McGee gives us a front row seat to what he calls a very frightful apostasy that is coming in the world today, an apostasy in which men and women will turn away from the Word of God and become like animals.

Can people really change? That’s the tough question Dr. J. Vernon McGee asks in this lesson. The apostle explains it is better for someone to not have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to then turn from the gospel.

There’s never been a shortage of people who want to make a buck off of spiritual things. Discover where that dangerous path leads as we return to the Old Testament story of Balaam in the book of Numbers. Like every other religious racketeer, Balaam loved money and he would do anything to get it. Join us for more insight from the Word of God on how to navigate life and avoid the pitfalls of corrupt...

How does a godly man live in an ungodly world? Travel back to the Old Testament as Peter looks at the lives of two godly men who lived in extremely wicked times. The first is Noah— who listened to God during extraordinary circumstances—and the second is Lot, whose testimony reflects a great struggle in living a godly life.

“Plastic teachers with plastic words.” That’s what Dr. J. Vernon McGee warns us about in our continuing study of 2 Peter as we’re advised to avoid deception and are reminded that in the flesh, you and I have no good within us.

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you.” In this fascinating lesson, Dr. McGee helps us understand how we can quickly identify a false teacher and recognize their deceptive strategies.

“The Word of God is not only divine, it is human—like the Lord Jesus who was both God and man. It deals with human life, yet it is God speaking to men and women in a language they can understand.” That’s some of the great truth we hear from our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee. Get more of Peter’s advice to “Jewish Christians” in his day, and see how his words also apply to us today.

If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you say to those you love? Would you have any advice or final thoughts that you’d want to share? Dr. McGee calls 2 Peter 1 “the swan song of Simon Peter” because it was written shortly before his execution and gives us great insight into living the Christian life.

Living the Christian life isn’t easy. If you need some help and hope, Dr. J. Vernon McGee gives us encouragement and direction for living the Christian life straight from God’s Word.

There is something beyond salvation is the important message our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, shares in this study. Learn that there is much more to the Christian life than merely being saved.
