After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, the children of Israel, now under Joshua's leadership, are preparing to cross the Jordan. Hop aboard the Bible Bus and listen as two faithful spies unfold the strategy to enter the land God has long promised His people.

On the surface, the Old Testament book of Joshua is about history, but underneath the facts are spiritual principles that apply to all of us as well. So, grab your Bible and journey through what Dr. McGee calls a significant book of redemption.

As we come to the end of Deuteronomy, it's time to say goodbye to Moses. In these final chapters, Moses leaves his people with one last song before they prepare to enter the Promised Land. Follow along as Dr. McGee points out God's great love for His people one last time in the book of Deuteronomy. May you end our study of this marvelous book clinging to the promise of God's unconditional, unwavering, matchless love.

When we last saw the children of Israel, they were misinterpreting God's Law. Now they are faced with a choice: Life and good, or death and evil. What will they choose? In Deuteronomy 30 and 31, meet Israel's new leader, Joshua, and get ready to see God's people enter the Promised Land.

In an honest search for its meaning, Dr. McGee tackles this confusing and difficult passage of Scripture, which is often skipped by theologians and Bible commentators. Gain the tools you need to answer the question for yourself.

So often, we miss out on God's love because we are blinded by our own righteousness. In Deuteronomy 29 and 30, we review Israel's past and learn how their wandering hearts aren't much different than ours today. Follow along as Dr. McGee teaches us about the Palestinian covenant, God's prophecy to Israel, and Israel's misinterpretation of God's Law in terms of their own righteousness.

When God makes a covenant, He never breaks it. In Deuteronomy 27 and 28, we see God's covenant with Israel regarding the Promised Land. While their success and blessing in the land was dependent on their obedience, God gave them the land without conditions. Likewise, today, God's love for us comes without conditions, yet His blessing is closely tied to our obedience and hearts of worship toward Him.

Every day, we are at war with our flesh. In our study of Deuteronomy 25 and 26, Dr. McGee teaches that our flesh is not something to despise or fight with self-discipline. Instead, our flesh can point us to the Holy Spirit. When we walk with God, the fruit of the Spirit will flow from us. Find hope in God's promise to one day irradicate our flesh and bring us to completion as new creatures.

If we are born of God, then our attitude, appearance, and all-around conduct should communicate that to others. Deuteronomy 23 and 24 outline several laws regarding what conduct is acceptable and unacceptable to God. Follow along as Dr. McGee teaches us the importance of being born again, yielding to the Holy Spirit rather than our flesh, and taking care of each other as God's family.

You probably don't spend much time thinking about the safety of birds. In Deuteronomy 21-23, God went out of His way to make sure birds were protected. He even made a law about it. God shows His love for the birds by protecting them with a law, just as He shows His love for us by giving us laws intended for our safety. Learn to see God's Law in a new lightthe light of His love and protection.

For many of us, tragedies, struggles, and misdeeds in our pasts seem to determine the quality of our lives and the potential of our futures. But does it really need to be this way? Is there a way to break the bondage of our pasts?

Don't worry about the future. In Deuteronomy 18 and 19, God offers the hope and promise of a coming Messiah to His people. In doing so, He reminded the children of Israel of His plans to give them a hope and a future. As we continue our study of the Law, Dr. McGee encourages us to have hope in God regarding the future. If we have Him, then we have nothing to fear.

Today on the Bible Bus, we will cover several laws and customs the children of Israel were to follow. From more dietary laws to tithes and offerings, discover how the Law was almost like a worship guide for God's people.

What's your biggest fear? We all have them. In fact, Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us King David had so many he belonged to a "fraternity of fears." In this study of Job 41, learn how the bravest men in the Bible conquered their fears and how we can, too.

In Deuteronomy 11-13, discover how Israel's place of worship, dietary laws, and warnings against false prophets all offer insight into different ways God's people were to stick close to Him and how the same truths apply to us today.

It didn't take long for the children of Israel to lapse back into idolatry again. First, they asked God for the Law and promised they would keep it, then they broke the Law before it was even given to them by making a molten image. In Deuteronomy 10 and 11, discover Israel's complete ignorance, Moses' humble prayer, and how God's anger toward sin and love for His people coincide.

Our love for God is measured by our love for others. In Deuteronomy 6 and 7, we review the importance of keeping God's commandments and the total summation of the Law in the New Testament: Love your neighbor as yourself.

We were born into conflict with God. Just like the children of Israel needed a mediator, so do we today. They knew their sin kept them at odds with God, and they begged for a mediator. In Deuteronomy 5, Dr. McGee encourages us to meet our Mediator, Jesus. Because of Jesus, you can stand beforeor, even better, run toGod unafraid, knowing you are nothing but loved!

(Galatians 6)Sometimes life is just hard. While some of our burdens can be lessened by sharing them with those we trust, like family and friends, others we simply bear alone. But, in Galatians 6 we learn there is one burden too heavy for us; one burden we can't bear. So, what can we do? Join Dr. McGee as he tells us there is One who is willing to carry this burden for us, but we must trust Him entirely. As he says, " It's either all on Him or it's all on You. He doesn't share."

One of the most beautiful chapters in the Bible takes us to the resurrected Jesus as He welcomes the fellowship of His disciples on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. Sit by the breakfast fire, eat the fish Jesus prepared, and walk with Him as He gives His disciples a vision for the rest of their lives.

Sit by the breakfast fire, eat the fish Jesus prepared, and walk with Him as He gives His disciples a vision for the rest of their lives.

Every time the supernatural touches the natural, the message is always peace or fear not. When the resurrected Jesus showed up in the closed room where the disciples were hiding, His first word to them was, Peace. What would be their reaction? What did Jesus want them to do?

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is more important to our faith than even His death, says Dr. J. Vernon McGee. If you want to truly understand what happened on the cross, you must begin with the historical facts of the Gospel. Believe them and you will be saved.

One of the most dastardly deeds in history, Jesus' death, is our redemption, says Dr. J. Vernon McGee. A place of judgment became our place of mercy. For Jesus, it was a sacrifice and an act of obedience. For us, it was a substitution. For Satan, it was a triumph ending in defeat. For the world, it is only a brutal, unjust murder.

Jesus' trials before Annas and Pilate were illegal. Everyone knew it, but no one had the courage to stop them. Come be a witness to how Jesus stood before His enemies with dignity and grace in these steps leading up to the Cross.

On the most difficult night of Jesus' earthly life, the night He spent in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus laid Himself wide open to His enemiesbut with awesome dignity. The soldiers may have thought they took Jesus, but Jesus remained in control of every event.

Everyone's invited. Jesus Christ invites everyone to come to Him for salvation out of their own free willeven though He has the power to make everyone bow to Him. And did you know that today Jesus is talking to the Father about you?

On His way to the cross, Jesus comforted His disciples with the victorious promise, In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart, I have overcome the world. When we let Jesus live His victory in us, then we get a taste of this overcoming, victorious life.

What does it take to grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? Jesus tells us the Holy Spirit will guide us into truth as we read God's Word, and He will complete the teaching that Jesus began. Take note: The Holy Spirit will also always direct our attention back to Jesus.

Two questions are answered in our study of John 16: What is the greatest sin of all? and why was it best that Jesus leave after the Resurrection? Discover the surprising answers in this study.
