John 3:5-36
Ever stand outside during a strong windstorm? That’s how Jesus described to Nicodemus how the Spirit of God works. Hear the background to the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16. Your heart might just change like Nicodemus’ did when confronted with the Word of God.
John 2:12-3:4
Nicodemus came to Jesus at night to “talk Torah,” the way all Pharisees did. But his talk with Jesus challenged everything he believed. He came as a ruler of the Jews, but when he met “the King of the Jews,” he leaned in to listen to a new way of thinking and believing.
John 1:51-2:11
It was the happiest of occasions that was about to turn sour. Jesus, His mother, and new disciples were at a family wedding, and they had run out of wine (a huge social faux pas). “Jesus, do something!” Mary asked. And what Jesus did began a pattern of ministry that affirmed and demonstrated His purpose in coming to earth—to seek and save the lost. Come witness the delight of Jesus, Messiah, among His people.
John 1:19-50
When Jesus first began His public ministry, what did people say about Him? John the Baptist called Him “the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.” Andrew, one of Jesus’ first disciples told his brother Peter, “We’ve found the Messiah.” Phillip said, “He’s everything the Old Testament said He would be.” Come discover who Jesus is for yourself in this engaging study of the Gospel of John.
John 1:1-18
The Gospel of John takes us back to the beginning—before there was a universe. Even then, Jesus was there. In this unique Gospel, we witness how Jesus “dwelled with us”—literally, how He pitched His tent among us. It’s true that no one can see God the Father, but when we look at His Son, we understand who God is. But He had to become one of us to bring God to where we are.
John 1:1
The Gospel of John stands out in the Bible as a favorite. Written by Jesus’ apostle and close friend, John, we grapple with the story behind the stories of the Gospels. Though it’s one of the easiest books to read, John is also one of the most profound Bible books to understand. We need the Lord Jesus to be our teacher. Understand this Gospel’s uniqueness in this introductory study.
Numbers 31:1-36:13
In the last six chapters of Numbers, we will cover Israel’s victory over Midian, laws regarding land ownership, and a log of Israel’s 40 years of wilderness wandering. Dr. McGee points out that God recorded their wandering to show He was still with them. As we close our study in Numbers, may you hold on to the simple truth that God is still with you—even when you don’t see Him.
Numbers 28:3-30:16
God wants us to find joy in Him. In Numbers 28, 29, and 30, the laws for offerings and sacrifices are outlined once again. We learn that every holy holiday, season, and feast is intended to be a joyous occasion. All except one: The Day of Atonement was the only day of mourning for the children of Israel. Dr. McGee encourages us to find wonderful, unlimited joy in Christ in every detail of these passages.
Numbers 27:1-28:2
The children of Israel have traveled a long way with Moses as their meek, steady leader. Sadly, Moses prepares for death as his people get ready to enter the Promised Land. In preparation for his death, Moses is instructed by God to appoint one of his servants as Israel’s new leader—Joshua. Dr. McGee encourages us that God uses ordinary people—those who obey Him in the mundane—to do great things for Him.
Numbers 24:15-26:65
We left off with Balaam’s fourth prophecy about the Star of Jacob. In today’s lesson, Dr. McGee draws a parallel between this prophecy and the star that led the magi to Christ in the New Testament. In Numbers 24, 25, and 26, learn about the second census and watch a new generation rise in Israel.
