“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” ~ 2 Timothy 2:15
Synopsis:“The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over approximately 1600 years. The Bible claims to be inspired by God and completely inerrant (without error). "It is the single most reliable and true work of writing extant. It’s words give us wisdom, believing them makes us safe, and acting on them makes us holy. It contains within its living pages a revelation of the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. It’s doctrines are holy, it’s precepts are binding, it’s stories are true, and it’s decisions are immutable. The Bible contains light to direct us, living water to quench our thirst, and comfort to cheer us in times of despair. Jesus Christ is the grand subject of it all, and everything centers upon him. The Bible is the account of the work of God in history bringing to fruition his prophetic declarations concerning Jesus. It’s also the account of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, freely giving all mankind a way of reconciliation to God.” » Online KJV Audio Bible
Synopsis:In one of Dr. J. Vernon McGee’s most beloved messages, we’re taken to Exodus 19:4, where God says, “I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.” It’s a beautiful reminder that God doesn’t just rescue us—He carries us. Be encouraged to trust His grace, not only to save us, but to lead us through every season of life.
About Thru The Bible - Sunday Sermon
These Sunday Sermon messages form a collection of the most effective and fruitful sermons given by Dr. J. Vernon McGee during his 21-year pastorate (1949-1970) at the historic Church of the Open Door when it was located in downtown Los Angeles, California.
Connect With Dr. J. Vernon McGgee John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, “When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!” His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, age 84, fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior. » Find out more
Built in 1914, the 4000-seat Church of the Open Door was conceived by R. A. Torrey who had come to Los Angeles to start a Bible institute (now known as Biola University) similar to Moody Bible Institute. Other pastors have included Louis T. Talbot (1932–1948) and J. Vernon McGee (1949–1970). The church is strictly non-denominational, though Evangelical. Its mission was to reach the lost of Los Angeles, which was reflected in the name ‘Church of the Open Door’ based on two passages of Scripture:
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” - Jesus Christ, John 10:9 KJV
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:8 KJV

That Stumbling Stone: Why Jesus Christ Remains An Offence To The Religious, Foolishness To The World And Precious To The Saved As Our Sure Foundation
Today, we are so excited to bring to you, for the first time ever, our Sunday Service morning message and Sunday Night Bible Study combined into a single, 2-hour time of prayer, prayer, preaching and Bible teaching! At the bottom of every article announcing the Sunday Services, you will find all the notes used in the course of the messages and Bible Studies we bring to you weekly. Today my message and teaching is entitled “That Stumbling Stone’, Jesus of Nazareth.
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 9:32-33 KJV
All through the Bible, Jesus Christ is revealed as That Stumbling Stone—the tried Stone laid by God, the precious Corner Stone, the Stone rejected by the builders and the Rock of offence over which unbelieving men continue to stumble. Israel had been entrusted with the oracles of God and should have recognized its Messiah, yet the builders examined the Stone and cast Him aside. When Pilate presented Jesus Christ alongside a robber, insurrectionist and murderer, the people cried, “Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.” But the Gentiles were equally guilty: Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered together and crucified the Lord of glory. At Calvary, the religious world and the political world united in choosing a guilty criminal over the sinless Son of God. Behold that stumbling Stone!
Synopsis:The late Dr. S. M. Lockridge, a pastor from San Diego, California said these words in a sermon in Detroit in 1976:
“My King was born King. The Bible says He's a Seven Way King. He's the King of the Jews - that's an Ethnic King. He's the King of Israel - that's a National King. He's the King of righteousness. He's the King of the ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of glory. He's the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords. Now that's my King.
Well, I wonder if you know Him. Do you know Him? Don't try to mislead me. Do you know my King? David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork. My King is the only one of whom there are no means of measure that can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of the shore of His supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing.
He's enduringly strong. He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful. He's impartially merciful. That's my King. He's God's Son. He's the sinner's saviour. He's the centerpiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He's honest. He's unique. He's unparalleled. He's unprecedented. He's supreme. He's pre-eminent. He's the grandest idea in literature. He's the highest personality in philosophy. He's the supreme problem in higher criticism. He's the fundamental doctrine of historic theology. He's the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That's my King.”

By PNW Staff:Harvey Milk and Matthew Shepard are two of the most recognizable names in modern LGBT history.
Milk was a gay-rights activist and San Francisco politician whose 1978 assassination turned him into an enduring hero of the LGBT movement. Shepard was a 21-year-old gay man whose brutal 1998 murder in Wyoming transformed him into a national symbol for LGBT activism and hate-crime legislation.
Now look at what is happening inside the church.
Beside a pulpit, images of Milk and Shepard sit in a small shrine-like space, their portraits surrounded by glowing halos. The symbolism is impossible to miss. These men are not simply being remembered as historical figures. They are being presented using visual language Christianity has associated with saints for centuries.
Then comes an even more remarkable claim.
The Rev. Gabriel Lawrence of The River Episcopal Church in Gates Mills, Ohio speaks of men such as these as people who “preach the good news of Jesus so much more profoundly than I ever could.”
Arab ‘Palestinians’ Were Offered Their Own State 5 Times And Rejected Every Proposal That Was Presented Because They Have A Different Agenda
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider: The Palestinian State That Never Was: How The Arab Higher Committee Rejected United Nations Partition In 1947 while Israel wisely accepted what was offered to them
For decades, the world has been told that the central tragedy of the Middle East is that the Palestinians have never been given a state. Singer Macklemore is in the news right now for his support to “Free Palestine” which has polarized the social media universe. But history contains an inconvenient fact that cannot simply be erased. When an Arab state and a Jewish state were formally placed side by side on the table in 1947, the Palestinian Arab leadership rejected the deal. Why? Because the Palestinians are much more interested in getting rid of Israel than they are in getting their own state. Israel very wisely took the offer, and has never looked back. Looking forward, however, is a completely different story.
“Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;” Joel 3:4 (KJV)
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations adopted Resolution 181, recommending the end of the British Mandate and the creation of two states—one Jewish and one Arab—with Jerusalem placed under an international regime. The Jewish Agency accepted the partition proposal despite objecting to portions of it. The Arab Higher Committee rejected partition and instead demanded an Arab state encompassing all of Palestine. That is the historical hinge upon which this entire argument turns, and they could have had an Arab state in 1947. Instead, the Palestinian Arab leadership rejected a two-state arrangement because accepting an Arab state under Resolution 181 also meant accepting the existence of a Jewish state next door. The official record is remarkably clear: the Arab Higher Committee declared itself determined to continue rejecting partition and refusing to recognize the United Nations resolution establishing it. And 1947 was not the first time partition had appeared.
By Worthy News / Press:The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion munitions sale to Israel that would include 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, according to reports published Tuesday.
A U.S. official said the proposed package contains 20,000 MK-84 bombs and 20,000 BLU-117 bombs. The administration has informally presented the plan to the congressional committees that review major weapons sales, but the agreement has not yet been formally announced.
The proposal signals continued American support for Israel’s right to defend its people as the Jewish state faces persistent threats from Iran and its terrorist proxies. The powerful munitions can also be fitted with guidance systems for precision strikes against military targets and fortified positions.
Neither the State Department nor the Israeli Embassy in Washington immediately commented on the reported sale.
Curse Of Ishmael: Houthi Drone Intercepted Near Mecca As Islam’s Holiest City Comes Under Fire
By Tamar Stein:Saudi air defenses shot down a Houthi drone just south of Mecca on Tuesday evening, hours after missile warning sirens sounded across the holy city for the first time in the current round of fighting between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Iran-backed rebels.
The drone was intercepted at 6:50 p.m. local time before it could enter Mecca’s restricted airspace, according to Turki al-Malki, spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition. Its wreckage fell south of the city. Al-Malki called it the second Houthi attempt to target Islam’s holiest city, after a ballistic missile launch in July 2017, and said the security of the Two Holy Mosques was a “red line.”
The Houthis denied responsibility. “The claims about targeting Mecca are a worn-out lie that has been used before and no longer fools anyone,” Houthi politburo official Hazem al-Assad wrote on X. A second Houthi political bureau member, Mohammed al-Farah, told the group’s SABA news agency the allegation was “an outright lie.” Neither official denied the group’s broader missile and drone campaign against Saudi Arabia this week, which coalition officials say has wounded 13 civilians and damaged seven homes since Monday.
Tuesday’s alerts began before dawn in Abha and Khamis Mushait and spread through the day to AlUla, Jazan, Jeddah, Taif and Yanbu. By evening, sirens had reached Mecca and Jeddah directly, and air traffic bound for Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Medina was halted. Saudi authorities activated the kingdom’s national emergency alert system in Mecca for the first time this year, telling residents to shelter indoors before later announcing the danger had passed.
Synopsis:What happens when “just stay quiet” becomes the response to difficult truths? From a controversial 9/11 teaching guide to debates over religious liberty and free speech, Pastor Curt Reed examines why Christians must be willing to speak, with courage, conviction, and love.
In this episode of Through the Lens, Curt discusses the Fairfax County teaching guidance and reports of growing pressure on people of faith. Turning to Scripture, he explores the church’s calling to testify to the gospel, stand for truth, and respond to opposition without losing sight of Jesus.
Drawing from Luke 19, Acts 20, 1 Peter 3, and Revelation 12, this message challenges believers to move beyond fear and indifference. The call is not simply to be louder, it is to remain faithful and speak the truth in love.
How can Christians stand firm while responding with gentleness and respect? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Synopsis:Democratic Socialists of America want to fundamentally transform the very character of our country.
America is fading from prophecy's stage. Fundamental transformation, historical revisionism, virtue signalers, and the uniparty are reshaping our nation. Daniel 7:23 warned of a coming world empire. America must decline for it to rise. Are you watching?
Synopsis:Join Internationally Recognized Prophecy Expert, Minister, Speaker and Author, Paul McGuire as he analyzes current events through the lens of Bible Prophecy.
Synopsis:The current culture has fallen into a pattern of deception and moral decline, blurring the lines between good and evil, or even flat out erasing them, through tactics Satan has employed since the Garden of Eden. In our September 2026 Prophecy Update, we examine what Isaiah 5:20 says about evil being called good and darkness being called light, how this moral reversal will escalate in the Last Days, and how we should respond as we watch it unfold.
Synopsis:A rare 1988 preformance by Dean (That Darn Cat!) Jones is Saint John in this intimate, inspiring one-man presentation. He has been punished by Rome for his faith in Christ Jesus and exiled to the Greek island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea around A.D. 96. He is all alone and has time to reflect and tell us about his life. Full of humor, strong in spirit, and resolutely committed to Christ, John shares his account of the events that changed the course of human history.
“I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” – Revelation 1:9, KJV
