Are you willing to be weak? Dr. McGee says, “God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty.” When God redeems us from weakness, He always redeems us to His strength. In Exodus 3, discover how our Creator—the almighty I AM—saves Moses and the people of Israel from themselves and uses their weakness to show His never-failing strength.

Did the Israelites deserve God’s deliverance? Do we deserve salvation? God loved them then, just as He loves us now. God kept his covenant with Abraham and saved the people of Israel, and He likewise keeps His promise to save us if we call on Him. In this continued study of Exodus, we learn a little bit more about the people of Israel and God’s great love and compassion for them.

Humble beginnings often unfold into amazing stories. In Exodus 2, God blessed Jochebed’s sensible faith and saved her child from Pharoah’s soldiers. From a baby in a basket to an Egyptian prince, meet God’s promised deliverer—Moses. Follow along with Dr. McGee as he shows us how God used an imperfect leader to represent Christ and to begin an amazing story of courage, freedom, and redemption for God’s people.

When we left God’s people at the end of Genesis, just 70 members of Joseph’s family lived in Egypt. Turn the page and 350 years have gone by and now God’s people—likely a couple million strong—are slaves . . . but not for long. God didn’t forget His people but promised to send them a deliverer. And that’s a story worth our attention as we watch God prove Himself over and over.

No matter how many times you may read about it, the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is the most compelling true story in all of history. Sit a little longer at the foot of the cross as we look at the events that happened immediately after Jesus died and ponder Jesus’ “Great Commission”—His final words on earth to His followers.

Pontius Pilate stood at the crossroads of what he knew to be true and what the crowd demanded. He knew Jesus was an innocent man. Our study in Matthew 27 takes us to that important moment when Pilate’s actions fulfilled yet another Old Testament prophecy—when Jesus gave up His life willingly.

Was Jesus ever tempted to quit—return to heaven and ask the Father to find another way to save us? He was tested in the wilderness in the beginning of His ministry, now Jesus was tested in the Garden of Gethsemane just as He was ready to give His life on the cross. Visit with Him there.

In the same week that Jesus died on the cross, He sat with His disciples on the Mount of Olives, looking over the city of Jerusalem, and told them about things to come. “When will these things be?” “What will be the sign of Your coming?” “What is the sign of the end of the age?” Find out what Jesus said in this study of the Olivet Discourse.

“You and I ought to live our lives in the light of the fact that we are to stand in the presence of Christ,” Dr. J. Vernon McGee challenges us. In our study of Matthew 24-25, we apply principles for how to determine what “talent” God has given us and how to faithfully use it for His glory.

The disciples asked Jesus, “What is the sign of the end of the age?” We explore Jesus’ answer in our study of Matthew 24 related to the Antichrist, the Tribulation, and the Second Coming of Jesus in the clouds to judge the earth. This lesson is foundational for future studies of Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation.
