Thru the Bible - Sunday Sermon on Oneplace.com

The presence of trouble does not mean the absence of the Lord. In Matthew 14, the disciples are exactly where Jesus told them to be—and still they find themselves battling wind and waves. Dr. J. Vernon McGee brings us into that storm and shows us a Savior who saves just at the right time. If you’re rowing hard against the current, be encouraged: the Lord has not lost sight of you, and He will see you through.

In one short parable, Jesus gives us a picture that reaches far beyond the kitchen. Dr. McGee explains how leaven in Scripture points to the subtle spread of error—and why believers must be grounded in the truth of God’s Word. It’s a timely reminder that the gospel is not about what we do for God, but about what Christ has already done for us. Be pointed again to the simplicity and sufficiency of His grace.

What happens when the Word of God is scattered into human hearts? Jesus tells the story of a farmer sowing seed—but the real focus isn’t the seed, it’s the soil. God’s Word is still being sown throughout the world today. Some hearts reject it, some respond for a moment, and some are choked by life’s distractions. But when the seed falls on good soil, it produces a harvest. The question is simple—and searching: What kind of ground are we?

The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most familiar teachings of Jesus—and one of the most misunderstood. Dr. J. Vernon McGee helps us discover that it is not a program for fixing society or a checklist for becoming good enough for God. Instead, it reveals the character of those who already belong to Him. As Jesus speaks about giving, praying, and fasting, we see that true faith is not about outward performance but about a sincere relationship with our heavenly Father—and a life that flows from knowing Him.

John stands as the final voice of the Old Testament prophets, bridging the gap between the Law and the coming of Christ. With blunt honesty and fearless conviction, he calls people to repent because the King has arrived. John’s remarkable life, message, and humility, remind us that the path of faith is found in a simple confession: “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
