Galatians 1:2-10
“Grace and peace to you” was a typical way people signed their letters in the first century, but learn in this study of Galatians 1 how the Spirit of God gives them new and more glorious meanings—a wonderful grace and a real peace in your heart that we get no other way.
Galatians 1:1-2
We are saved by faith—not by anything we do for God or any manner of life that we try to attain. Come learn from Dr. J. Vernon McGee what this important letter to the Galatians says about how to live as free as you are in Christ.
Job 38:1-42:17
Up until now, Job’s logic has been black-and-white. When God shows up, we can finally see things in color. Like broken shards of glass reflecting the morning sunlight, God uses the shattered, sinful hearts of mankind to point us to our need for Him. Reflected in fragments of earthly suffering and broken human logic, discover the brilliant, beautiful hope of Christ. It is in our willingness to be broken that we get to know Him.
Job 36:1-38:7
Are you a student of God? Most people like to feel competent. We don’t like to get too involved in something we don’t know much about. One major takeaway from Job, is that we all have a limited knowledge of God and need to be teachable. Today, Dr. McGee shows us that God is a patient but powerful teacher. Don’t let your inexperience with God keep you from trusting what you do know about Him.
Job 34:1-36:1
When we walk with God, we walk above our circumstances instead of beneath them. As Elihu continues his discourse, he offers a lot of spiritual wisdom to Job and us today. He declares that God is trustworthy and shouldn’t be questioned. Be encouraged today in knowing you can lean on God as your source of truth and joy, even in the midst of suffering.
Job 32:1-33:33
God doesn’t owe you an answer. Elihu shares this truth with Job, even though it was probably hard to hear. The Christian life is a journey through the darkness of this world and someday into the light of God’s kingdom. But for now, while we wait in darkness, we must trust God to lead us.
Job 32:1-33:30
You don’t have to be old to be wise. Today on the Bible Bus, meet Elihu, a young guy in the crowd who decided to speak up. While Elihu’s view of God is more accurate than the others’, he’s still a little off. Listen in to see what he has to say.
Job 31:1-32:3
A broken spirit can be a strong spirit. Job put up a good fight against his friends’ accusations. He did a great job defending his own honor. But what for? He still didn’t find the answer he was looking for. His pride blinded him to the reality that even the “good people” of the world must repent before God. Today, discover how humility and weakness ultimately point us to God’s strength.
Job 29:1-30:31
God’s love doesn’t change with your circumstances. In Job 29 and 30, we see Job’s pride revealed. He reminisces about the “days of his prime,” when he hadn’t faced so many troubles. Job was a stand-up citizen—respected, righteous, and kind. Follow along as Dr. McGee encourages us to not blame God for suffering but rather trust that He loves us, even when circumstances change.
Job 26:7-28:22
Get ready for a poetry reading. In these next few chapters, Job pours out his heart in beautiful poetry. He reveals his understanding of God as Creator and Redeemer, but he has yet to know God as Sustainer and Author of salvation. In Job 28, discover the power and the beauty of creation, the depth of Job’s knowledge, and the true meaning of wisdom.
