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

Welcome to Through the Bible, I'm Steve Schwartz your host on this five-year journey through God's entire word.

The Bible bus covers a lot of ground in our study now, so climb aboard, grab your seat, and

get comfortable because our teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee is going to start with a

Psalm of praise from the Old Testament book of Isaiah.

But before we jump in, I want to remind you that we've got notes and outlines that Dr

McGee is going to mention that are available to you for free.

Now the quickest way to get them is in our

app while listening and then another really easy way is just to visit our website

TTB.org and download them immediately in one digital volume that's titled Briefing the Bible.

Or if you want to receive an abridged version in paperback you can use the online

request form at TTB.org and you can always call us at 1-865 Bible or write to us at box 7100,

Pasadena, California, 911-09. In Canada the address is box 25, Box 25325, London, Ontario, N6C 6B1.

Now we got just a few minutes before our study, so let's take a moment to hear from a couple of fellow travelers on

the Bible bus who've written to tell us what this journey means to them. First we

hear from a group in West Africa. Hello this is so interesting.

Hello, we are Muslims who listen to the Bible study in our language of Bambara.

We were advised to stop listening, but you are preaching the truth, even though we are Muslims. It does not prevent us

from following the truths of the Bible from which we can experience a change of behavior

and lead a fulfilling life. Jesus in your Bible is much different than we expected.

We are considering following him and ask that you tell us more.

Thank you.
