How firm a foundation,

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

If God wanted to send a message to the intellectual and cultural elite today in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles,

what kind of person do you think he would choose? Maybe a talented actor, a popular politician,

a wealthy socialite, maybe, or maybe a well-known business magnet. Well, if you haven't heard the story

of the prophet Amos before, you might be surprised to find out what kind of man God sent to the big city of his time with a message for the king and high society.

I'm Steve Schwetz, and this, of course, is through the Bible with our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

And it's our first day in the Old Testament prophetic book of Amos.

So if you've not read the book of Amos lately,

to find it, go to the big book of Daniel and then turn a few pages forward to find Amos's

story. We'll begin in chapter one. And just in case you're wondering, God is sending a message

today to New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles through the ministry of through the Bible.

And not only there, but also to

London, Beijing, Delhi, Moscow, Sydney, Dubai, and almost every other major city in the world.

This simple five-year journey through the whole word of God is available to almost everyone who

wants to listen, and often in their own heart language. And you know, God is so faithful to get his word out,

and we are so grateful to be a tool in his hand. Now, before we dive into Amos, let's hear a few of our

fellow passengers on the Bible bus. Here's an email from one in Ontario, Canada. Thank you for your

ministry. I feel so encouraged to be able to support you. So many people are coming to

Jesus. The other day I talked to my half-brother in Uruguay, and he told me that by listening to the

broadcast in Spanish, he got saved. He is 60 years old, and I would have never thought that he would

give his life to the Lord by listening to Dr. McGee.
