Faith in Action
December 29, 2024
“God has never saved anyone except through Jesus Christ. Before the flood and after the flood, during the time of the Law and until the Lord Jesus came, everything pointed to Him—and it was always by faith.” That's wisdom shared by Dr. J. Vernon McGee as he takes us through the Old Testament stories of Abel, Enoch, and Noah. Along the way, we discover that from the beginning of time, faith is the only thing that has saved man.

(Hebrews 5:11—6:3) There comes a time in our spiritual lives when we must grow up and face life with courage and maturity—to 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.

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. 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.
