Don’t fight alone
Dr. J. Vernon McGee
I think that many believers, they’re trying to fight the battle down here alone. They’re trying to meet the issues of life alone. And, friends, you and I are not able to do it. We need help today. And we’re not availing ourselves of the help. Paul prayed for the Ephesians, that the mighty power that worked in Christ, bringing Him from the dead, might work in us today. Do you see much of that power working in believers? We need that power today, friends, and we should lay hold of it by faith, because you and I have a High Priest that’s yonder at God’s right hand. And have you talked to Him today? Have you had an interview with Him yet today? Oh, my Christian friends, I urge you to make contact with the living Christ.
Exodus 25:10-22
Dr. J. Vernon McGee
In Exodus 25, God gives the children of Israel detailed instructions on how to build the Ark of the Covenant. Follow along as Dr. McGee shows us how the Ark and its contents—Aaron’s rod, manna, and the Ten Commandments—reveal Christ as our ultimate Priest, Prophet, and King.
