How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

There is something beyond salvation.

That's the important message our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, has for us on Through the Bible.

Is this a new thought for you?

Well, that's what's ahead for us in our study of 2nd Peter.

I'm Steve Schwett, your host, and I'm so glad that you've hopped aboard with what Dr. McGee affectionately called the Bible bus.

Now, for those of you just joining us through

the Bible is a five-year journey. It takes you through the entire word of God. We're in the New

out of our studies in God's Word, I suggest that you download our free digital book, Briefing the

Bible. In it are all of Dr. McGee's notes and outlines and any charts or maps that he mentions in our study.

Briefing the Bible is available to you anytime over at ttb.org. Or if you prefer, you can have an abridged paperback

copy sent to you by mail. You can request it online or call 1-865 Bible. And if you use our app,

Just click on notes and outlines in the menu. Now, while you open
