How firm a foundation,

Ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

The Old Testament patriarch, Abraham, and his wife Sarah,

lived a comfortable life in Mesopotamia.

So when they packed up their family and left their home for a long journey, without even knowing what their ultimate destination was,

some of their friends and neighbors probably called them a little crazy.

Why did they do it then?

Well, the answer is pretty simple, because God asked, and Abraham obeyed. Welcome to Through the Bible. I'm Steve Schwartz, your host on this five-year journey

through God's Word, and I'm so glad that you're here as Dr. J. Vernon McGee continues our study

of Hebrews Chapter 11. Now we got some great scriptures to cover. So grab your seat on the Bible

bus. And while you do that, Greg and I have got a quick update for you on what's happening here

at Through the Bible. And Steve, we need a couple of days to talk about everything that's happening.

And we have just a few minutes. But what we want to do today is give our listening family a taste of the passion that we have to

truly try to get the whole word to the whole world. Yeah. I mean, and people would say, well,

you've already done that. You're in 200 languages. I mean, couldn't you covered it with like 10?

Yeah. Because, you know, you get English. Most people are doing that. And then, you know, you got Arabic and

Spanish and, you know, whatever other languages are there.

But the 200 and plus and growing and specifically these small ones, which we're going to talk about is significant.

Mainly what we're finding is the smaller, the better in some ways because, number one, they have no content.

Yeah.

And so a guy who's not going to listen to Christian

teaching, but it's in his mother tongue, is going to listen just to hear his language. Yes.
