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

Welcome to Through the Bible, where an exciting story is about to unfold.

Our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, brings us to one of the most beautiful love stories in

Scripture. In Genesis 24, Abraham sends his servant on a mission back to their homeland to find a

wife for his son, Isaac. And the way that servant discovers God's choice may surprise you.

Dr. McGee shows us something even deeper here, a picture of how God sends his spirit into the world today, calling out a bride for

his son, the church. So turn with me to Genesis chapter 24, beginning at verse 32, and as you

settle into your seat on the Bible bus, let me share a few letters from our fellow

passengers you might say through the Bible is still being used by the Holy Spirit to call hearts to

Christ first is a note from a teenager in Kenya this program has helped me build a stronger foundation

in my Christian journey I like how spiritual topics are explained in a way even young people like me can

understand. I feel guided to correct my life and grow closer to God. The teachings encourage me to

read the Bible more and think deeply about my purpose and faith. I love that, don't you? And now,

listen to this letter from a listener in Zimbabwe. I was admitted to the hospital for a while, and I was excited to find that your programs were playing there.

They became a daily boost.

Many times better than the medicine the doctor prescribed.

The Bible verses and prayers helped me feel close to God even while I was in pain.

My relationship with him was renewed and I felt peace.

I was so thankful when they helped me find a place to listen to the program after I was discharged.

Thank you for bringing hope into the hospital.

I've carried that hope home with me.

I love hearing how God is using this hospital ministry in the Shona language, don't you?
