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

Imagine this. God promises you a son. You're 99 years old, and still no son.

Would you start to wonder if God forgot?

Welcome to Through the Bible with our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

I'm Steve Sweats, welcoming you aboard the Bible bus as we travel through the whole Word of God in five years.

So, did God forget his promise?

Well, I think you already know the answer, don't you?

But Abraham's story is a powerful reminder.

Just when things look impossible, God makes them possible.

And we're going to see that unfold in our study as it continues in Genesis 16.

Turn there if you can. And while you find your place,

here's a quick email from a fellow listener named Kathy. Thank you for the work you do in Jesus

name throughout the world. I'm encouraged and my view of God is much larger as I hear about the

home groups that are growing. My heart sings for joy, knowing I have brothers and sisters

in Christ in so many countries. I'm happy to have sent a contribution to the work. Thank you,

Greg and Steve, for the presentations and updates from around the world. Surely Jesus is

returning soon. Well, Kathy, I sure hope Jesus returns soon also. We're grateful for friends like you who do invest financially and prayerfully support the ministry.

You know, together, we're blessed to keep moving forward on this journey through God's Word.

So if you'd like to join Kathy and me and other listeners who help provide maybe a tank of gas

or even a new set of tires for the Bible bus as it rolls along in more than 250 languages worldwide. You can do that through our app

at ttb.org or by calling 1-865 Bible. And you can also send your gift by mail to box 7100,

Pasadena, California, 911. In Canada, box 25325, London, Ontario, N6C, 6B1.
