To Tell the Truth
In a world full of confident voices, how do you know what’s real? Dr. J. Vernon McGee borrows the setup of a game show to ask a timeless question: How do you recognize the true person of God? As he walks us through Esau and Jacob in Genesis, Dr. McGee shows the difference between religious appearance and a life changed by the Spirit—and invites each of us to stop striving in our own strength and y
The Camels Are Coming
Sometimes the most important moments arrive quietly, after a long season of waiting. Dr. McGee walks us through the story of Isaac and Rebekah—a journey marked by prayer, trust, and a decisive step of faith. It’s a reminder that God is at work behind the scenes, faithfully bringing His plans together in His perfect time.
The Greatest Tongues Movement on Record
The world once shared a single language—and a single goal. But when human pride took center stage, God stepped in and changed everything. Dr. McGee takes us to the Tower of Babel and explains how the confusion of languages reshaped humanity’s story. Along the way, we’re reminded why unity without God never lasts—and how God’s purposes move forward even when human plans fall apart.
The New World
Imagine waking up to a world that’s gone silent. That’s the moment Noah faced when he stepped off the ark. Dr. McGee shows how God met that unsettling new beginning with promises, direction, and hope. It’s a reminder that when life shifts suddenly and the future feels unfamiliar, God is already there, steady and faithful, ready to lead us forward.
Bird Watching
After the flood, Noah waited—watching, listening, and trusting God to show him what came next. Dr. McGee explains how the simple act of sending out birds reveals a deeper lesson about patience, discernment, and learning to rely on God when the future isn’t clear. It’s a reminder that faith often means looking for God’s direction instead of rushing ahead.
The Man Who Never Died
What does it really mean to walk with God? As we travel through Genesis 5, Dr. McGee introduces us to Enoch—a man who lived by faith in a world marked by death. His story shows us what living by faith can look like in everyday life, and how trusting God day by day still matters in a world that’s always changing.
Cain and Abel
Two brothers, one family, and a divide that still runs through humanity. As Dr. McGee unpacks Cain and Abel’s choices, we discover that their story also holds a mirror to our own hearts, revealing our need for grace and the only path that truly leads to life.
God Created
Everything we believe about God starts with a few powerful words: "In the beginning, God created." Dr. McGee explores the very first verse of the Bible and shows how it shapes our view of God, ourselves, and the world.
What is Doctrine?
“Doctrine” may sound like a big, churchy word—but its meaning is simple and deeply important. It just means "teaching." Dr. McGee shows why what we believe about God shapes everything—how we live, how we hope, and how we walk with Him each day.
The Stranger of Galilee
What if Jesus stood right in front of you—and you didn’t know it? That’s the striking picture Dr. McGee draws in this message. Discover why people missed Him then and how we can experience Him fully now.
The New Jerusalem, the Eternal Home of the Church
Ever wonder what heaven will really be like? Take a breathtaking look at the New Jerusalem—the place God is preparing for His people. It’s more than clouds and harps; it’s a real home filled with light, beauty, and the presence of Jesus Himself. No sin, no sorrow, no darkness—just joy, life, and the kind of hope that changes how you live today.
What and Where is Heaven?
Most people want to go to heaven, but few understand what it’s really like, nor do they have any idea where it is. But Scripture provides us with some wonderful clues.
The Millennium—What? Where? When? How? Who?
Revelation 20 speaks of the thousand-year reign of Christ on the earth known as the Millennium. But it’s in the prophecies of Isaiah that we must turn to view a detailed picture of what those days will be like.
The Time of Armageddon
Although history has labeled two wars in the last century as “world wars,” the true world war will occur as the days of the Great Tribulation rise to a fevered pitch during the war of Armageddon.
