  • The Holy Spirit in the World
    Even in a troubled world, God has not left us alone. In this message, Dr. McGee reminds us that the Holy Spirit is quietly at work—restraining evil, stirring hearts, and drawing people to Christ. Discover how His presence brings comfort, conviction, and hope, and why responding to His gentle leading is the beginning of true life in Jesus.
  • Who is the Holy Spirit?
    Many believers and dedicated church-goers really have little to no knowledge about the third member of the trinity—what He does, where He is, and why it's so important to have Him working in our lives today.
  • When Christ Returns in Triumph to Jerusalem
    Christ’s first coming wasn’t for judgment, but to provide a way of peace, reconciling men to God. But His second coming will be for the judgment of all who have forsaken the free offering of salvation that He came to provide the first time.
  • Will Babylon Be Rebuilt?
    Scripture speaks of a woman arrayed in purple and scarlet, and on her forehead is written, “Mystery, Babylon the Great.” An angel explains to John that the woman “is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.” Some believe that this is a picture of the rebuilding of the great city of Babylon.
  • The Missile From Outer Space
    Have you ever seen a UFO? Well, there was a man who saw things flying through the air, but he was told exactly what they were. The man was the prophet Zechariah who on one night had ten visions given to him by God.
  • The Secret of Power
    Why are we impotent against the onslaught of evil that overruns our world? We find the secret of power in this unexpected place in the Old Testament.
  • When Jesus Went to a Funeral
    Usually a funeral is a time of mourning and sorrow, but not with Jesus in attendance. The Bible records three times when Jesus attended a funeral, and each time He turned sorrow into joy and mourning into praise.
  • A Law Concerning Cleansing
    When God gave the Law for the nation Israel, He didn’t list every possible application. So then how was a person able to know what the Law was in a certain situation? Haggai encountered such a case, and the answer he received is true for believers in our day.
  • The Word of God and the Way of Man
    1) Who are the three shepherds in Zechariah 11:8?2) Does Acts 15:1-29 teach that the Gentiles are not required to follow the Law?3) Why does Acts 21:20 say that many of the Jews were zealous of the Law?4) Is it true that Satan cannot duplicate the miracles Jesus performed?5) What is doctrine?6) Where do we get our souls? From our parents or from God?7) Who is the woman mentioned in Revelation 12?
  • What Can Believers Do in Days of Apostasy?
    We are living in days of apostasy, and the most severe attack on the Word of God, the Christian faith, and the church is coming from within the church itself. What can believers do about it?
  • Amazing, Alarming, and Awful Apostasy
    The apostasy is coming—blatant immorality, rejection of God’s Word, and denial of Christ as our Lord. In this message Dr. McGee details the apostasy in the twentieth century.
  • The Dark Side of Love
    Corrects our mistaken notion that God's love is a sentimental feeling rather than a deep concern for His own.
  • Darkness and Light—The Day of the Lord
    If you’ve ever been confused about prophecy, this is the booklet for you. Dr. McGee clearly spells out God’s scenario for the future as described in the Bible, event by event, from the Rapture to the New Jerusalem.
  • Man's Question—God's Answer
    Habakkuk was saying to God, “My country is in a mess! Why don’t You do something about it?” If you are asking “Why, God?” about anything, you can identify with Habakkuk and profit from God’s answer to him.
