Endowed by Their Creator: America at 250

Two hundred fifty years ago, fifty-six men signed their names — and staked their lives — on a truth that still stands: all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with rights no government can take away.

That’s not just history. That’s theology. The founders anchored liberty in the character of God — and 250 years later, that anchor holds.

So before the fireworks fly tonight, pause and thank God for the freedom to gather, worship, and open a Bible on Sunday morning. Millions around the world still can’t.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

— 2 Corinthians 3:17

Happy 250th, America — and happy Independence Day, Foundations freinds!

This Sunday: The Verses That Built a Nation

The fireworks may fade Saturday night, but the celebration continues Sunday morning. This week, Foundations returns to one of our favorite class traditions: our special Independence Day lesson, gathering in groups to uncover the defining moments that shaped America’s enduring foundation of faith.

As in years past, our guide is Robert Morgan’s 100 Bible Verses That Made America — the book that’s introduced us to McGuffey’s readers, John Jay’s walk with God, the college students who sparked the Second Great Awakening, and the scripture behind the rebirth of Israel. Each table takes a story, digs in together, and brings it to life for the class.

And this year, in honor of America’s 250th, we’re adding a brand-new companion: Americans Who Pray, the book we recently received after worship. New stories, same great discovery — that our nation’s foundation is not just political, but profoundly spiritual.

Come ready to dig, discuss, and maybe even sing a little “God Bless America” before we’re done. Sunday, 10:45 AM, Choir Rehearsal Room. Bring a friend — there’s a seat at the table waiting.

Q3 2026 Focus

Our Q3 Focus: Jehovah Jireh & Romans 8:28

A new quarter brings a new focus for Foundations — and this one comes with a promise attached. Through Q3, we’re centering on one of the most reassuring names of God in Scripture: Jehovah Jireh — The LORD Will Provide. First revealed on a mountain where Abraham learned that God Himself supplies what faith requires, this name isn’t ancient history. It’s a promise with your name on it.

Alongside it, our scripture memory for the quarter:

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

— Romans 8:28

Provision isn’t always what we expect — but it’s always what we need, right on time. Let’s spend this quarter hiding this verse in our hearts and watching Him provide.

Sermon Review

Challenges & Joys: Joy Amid Hard Times | Daniel Ritchie

If you missed Sunday’s message, it’s worth every minute. Guest speaker Daniel Ritchie — born without arms and told his whole life what he’d never do — opened Romans 15:13 with a testimony that made the text impossible to dismiss.

From Paul’s prayer, he drew three truths: There is hope in this chaos — God doesn’t just give hope, He is hope, and we know how the story ends. Joy and peace are built in faith — rejoicing is a choice tied to our Savior, not our circumstances, and peace belongs to people of prayer and practice. Our hope overflows so it can be shared — God’s plan A for reaching the world is ordinary people whose hope spills out everywhere they go.

“You don’t have to be awesome for God to use you. You just have to trust the God who already is.”

— Daniel Ritchie

A fitting word as we begin our Jehovah Jireh quarter: the God who provides doesn’t just supply our needs — He supplies our hope.

Lesson Review — June 28, 2026

Believe the Messenger: The Making of the Apostle Paul

Bill Wright likes to joke that our class newsletters read like movie trailers and his lessons can’t live up to the hype. Sunday proved him wrong. Stepping aside from our verse-by-verse walk through Galatians, Bill took the class into the life of the letter’s author — because, as he framed it, you can’t believe the message unless you first believe the messenger.

Starting from Paul’s bold invitation — “Imitate me, as I imitate Christ” — Bill traced how God prepared His messenger stop by stop: Damascus, where Saul learned there is a God and Jesus is His name; Arabia, where God does what He always does before sending someone out — He prepares them; and Troas, where Paul learned to wait. Not idle waiting, either. Paul preached right where he was until the Macedonian call came, proof that God’s plan is always bigger than ours and arrives on His timing, not ours.

Two takeaways landed hard. First, from Paul’s confrontation with Peter: speak the truth in love — truth without love tears apart relationships that God intends to build. Second, a sobering word on calling:

“If you could cry in heaven, when you see the plan God had for your life and the plan you settled for, you would cry.”

— shared by Bill Wright

Don’t settle. God has a plan for every believer — and its purpose is to bring glory to Him and blessing to others.

Thank you, Bill, for a lesson that more than lived up to the hype.

Fall 2026 Series Announcement

Coming This Fall: Hebrews 11 — The Hall of Faith

Every great story deserves a great trailer, and our next series just got one. This fall, Foundations begins a 14-week journey through Hebrews 11 — the Hall of Faith — walking the chapter’s roll call of ordinary people who trusted an extraordinary God: Noah building before the rain, Abraham answering before he knew the destination, and walls that fell because somebody kept marching.

And if the movie-trailer-style announcement looks a little familiar… let’s just say one of our own may have been spotted on set alongside the heroes of the faith. 

Share the trailer with a friend, a neighbor, or anyone looking for a Bible study home this fall. Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith isn’t reserved for spiritual giants — it’s for everyone willing to take the next step without seeing the whole staircase. Full schedule and details coming soon.

Giving Opportunity · Family Camp

A Seat at the Campfire — Reserved by You

Every year, Family Camp gives single-parent and blended families at Houston’s First something the calendar rarely allows: a weekend to exhale. Three days to step away from the daily grind, strengthen relationships, grow in faith, and discover they are not walking their road alone.

Last year, nearly 50 families gathered around the theme Endure. They heard Philip and Elizabeth Varjas share how God carried them through hardship — and you could feel the room lean in. Kids tackled the ropes course, went fishing, and braved the putt-putt. Parents finally rested over an ice cream social. By Sunday morning, families who had arrived worn down left with renewed joy, new friendships, and one anchoring truth: God’s Word endures forever (Isaiah 40:8) — and through Christ, so can we.

This year, several families would love to come but can’t cover the cost. And here’s the part worth sitting with:

A scholarship of just $50–75 per person is often the only thing standing between a struggling family and a weekend that could change their year.

That’s the whole gap. We can close it.

Would our class sponsor one or more campers? Every gift — any amount — removes a financial barrier and hands a family a weekend they’ll carry home in their hearts. Your generosity can have an eternal impact.

Do You Have a Testimony? (You Do.)

Before we closed, the class was handed a simple challenge: be ready to tell your story. Every believer has one, and telling it clearly may be the most important tool we carry. As the best coaches do, we went back to basics — “Gentlemen, this is a basketball.” For us, the basics are the gospel itself: we’ve all sinned, Christ died for us, and salvation comes by trusting Him alone.

Suzanne Messersmith shared how it looks lived out. Pat, a friend of more than forty years, had lived a full and lovely life but had never met Christ — she didn’t even own a Bible. Through patient friendship, honest conversation, and one long lunch spent “marrying the need to the provision,” she came to faith. She was baptized last Sunday. As longtime soul-winner Ken Lowrimore — Lindsay Blessing’s grandfather — likes to ask: “If you died today, do you know where you would spend eternity?”

That’s our assignment this summer. New care groups of four to six are forming — not for dinners and obligations, but for simple connection: a call, a text, a word of encouragement, a prayer. Know the gospel. Know your story. And be ready to share it.

Coming to Houston

2,000 Years Later: The Dead Sea Scrolls Come to Houston

This November, you can see the roots of the Word we study every Sunday with your own eyes.

Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition opens November 20 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Hermann Park. The exhibit brings together ancient manuscripts and rare artifacts, including some of the oldest known copies of Old Testament books — discovered in caves near the Dead Sea and preserved by hand for more than two thousand years.

There’s a fitting tie to our Galatians study, too. The Scriptures Paul reached for were already treasured and copied long before his letter was penned. To stand before these scrolls is to glimpse the trustworthy roots beneath the gospel we hold today.

“The righteous shall live by faith.”

GALATIANS 3:11

Tickets and details are at hmns.org. The exhibit is on Level 3, and members get early access now.

Lesson Recap — Galatians 1:6–9

Grace Plus Nothing — and Why Paul Wouldn’t Soften It

Don Sweat brought the heat of Galatians 1:6–9 to the Foundations Class on Father’s Day, and as he reminded us, four verses can hold a lot when you slow down and look closely.

Don set the scene first. In most of his letters, Paul opens with warm thanks and praise — Don read the glowing first lines of Philippians to show the pattern. Then he turned to Galatians, where that warmth is simply gone. No commendation, no thanksgiving. Paul goes straight to the rebuke. The absence of praise, Don noted, tells you how serious things had become.

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you.”

GALATIANS 1:6

The Greek made it sharper still. The word for astonished carries both astonishment and disappointment at once, and the word for quickly points to how easily and fast the Galatians were drifting — distracted, as Don put it, by the next bright shiny thing.

What had pulled them away? The Judaizers — outside agitators (Paul refers to them in the third person, a subtle clue) who wanted to trade the liberty of grace for the bondage of the law. They taught that faith in Christ wasn’t enough; you also had to keep the old requirements. Paul calls that “a different gospel” — though, as Don stressed, there is no other gospel. It isn’t a slightly different version heading the same direction; it’s 180 degrees the opposite way. That’s why Paul’s language turns so severe, right down to “let him be accursed.” The class worked through that hard phrase together and landed here: Paul isn’t personally cursing anyone — he’s declaring that those who steal God’s glory by perverting the gospel place themselves under God’s curse.

At the heart of it is one of Galatians’ great themes, which Don borrowed from Warren Wiersbe’s two-word summary of the book: Be Free. The gospel is grace through faith plus nothing. We’re saved by good works — Christ’s good works, not ours. And that freedom is liberty, not license: we’re free to obey God, never free to disobey Him.

Don closed with a vivid picture of the Christian life as a three-stage rocket. Justification is the blast-off — the moment we trust Christ alone. Sanctification is the journey — the Spirit at work in us as we leave the old life behind. And glorification is the final touchdown in God’s presence, in His timing, not ours.

His parting charge: like Paul, we’re called to be the light — speaking the truth about anything that distorts the gospel, but always graciously, lovingly, and for the sake of the lost.

This Week's Lesson · Summer Galatians Series

From Persecutor to Apostle: The Road That Made Paul

This Sunday, Bill Wright takes us off the page and onto the road — tracing the full chronology of the Apostle Paul's life from a blistering persecutor of the church to its most tireless missionary.

It's a story with more drama than most realize. A blinding light on the Damascus road. Three days without sight. An escape over the city wall, lowered in a basket to dodge a death plot. Then roughly ten quiet years in Syria and Cilicia — God calling, God preparing — before Barnabas ever brought him to Antioch and the work among the Gentiles began.

God calls. God prepares. God sends.

The Making of an Apostle

And then the moment that anchors our whole Galatians study: years later, Paul opposed even Peter to his face when Peter's hypocrisy blurred the truth of the gospel (Galatians 2:11–14) — the same error troubling the Galatians, confronted head-on. Come see how God built an apostle, and why his unshakable stand still matters for us today.

Sermon Recap — Father’s Day

Challenges & Joys: The Prodigal Son | O.S. Hawkins

On Father’s Day, guest preacher Dr. O.S. Hawkins took us into the best-known parable in Scripture — the prodigal son of Luke 15 — and then, with one quick grammar lesson, turned the whole familiar story on its head. “A man had two sons.” Who’s the subject of that sentence? Not the runaway. Not the resentful older brother. The father. This, he reminded us, was never primarily a story about a rebellious child. It’s a portrait of the heavenly Father — and of us.

From there he walked us through three pictures of that Father.

First, open hands that say I release you. When the younger son made his offensive demand, the father let him go. It was love tough enough to allow a hard road, and wise enough not to rescue him from it — “no one gave him anything” in the far country, and it was precisely that hard silence that brought the boy to himself. Dr. Hawkins paused there to clear up one of the most misunderstood words in the Bible: repentance isn’t remorse, regret, or reform. It’s a change of mind that becomes a change of will that becomes a change of action. The boy didn’t just feel sorry — he got up and went home.

Second, open arms that say I receive you. While the son was still a long way off, the father ran. He cut off the rehearsed apology and forgave before a word of it was finished. Love, Dr. Hawkins noted, doesn’t keep a ledger of wrongs suffered; it suffers long and begins again.

“You are always with me, and all that I have is yours.”

LUKE 15:31

Third, open heart that says I respect you. The father left his own party to plead with the bitter older brother, too — the son whose sin was self-pity rather than self-pleasure. To him the father held out the same grace, and three steady promises: his abiding presence (“you are always with me”), his abundant provision (“all that I have is yours”), and his achieved purpose (“your brother was lost and is found”).

Then Dr. Hawkins pointed out where the story stops. Jesus never tells us whether the older brother went in. The ending hangs open — on purpose — because the Father is asking each of us to finish it ourselves by coming home.

He closed with a tender word for anyone whose own father was absent, distant, or worse, and for whom this day is hard: God’s promise still stands. “I will be a Father to you, and you can be my child.” The arms that were open to the prodigal — never wider than when they were stretched out on the cross — are open still.

The Quiet Power of Showing Up

This Father’s Day, Foundations honors the men who quietly hold their families steady. Scripture never asks for the perfect father — it celebrates the present one. The one who shows up, stays, and points his household toward the Lord.

That presence takes shape in three ways: the Secure Base, who gives children a place to launch from and return to; the Legacy Maker, who bridges God’s promises to his family’s future; and the Garden Keeper, who joins firm boundaries to unconditional love — a living picture of our Heavenly Father’s care.

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

What God Grows in the Dark

Challenges & Joys · Guest Pastor John Wethington, New Day Church

---

Guest pastor John Wethington of New Day Church brought a message forged in fire and rooted in Genesis 50. Drawing on Joseph — betrayed by his brothers, yet able to say, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” — Pastor Wethington showed how suffering, surrendered to God, becomes a seed. It produces sanctification, as God shapes us; providence, as He works all things toward good; and purpose, as our deepest pain becomes our greatest ministry.

He preached not from theory but from loss, walking the congregation through his late wife’s three-year battle with brain cancer and her faithfulness to the very end. The invitation he left us with: bring your questions and your wrestling to the Lord.

“Your questions are not the end of your faith — they are its future.”

Pastor John Wethington

From the Field · Ukraine

“What Is It Like to Live in a Country at War?”

Lindsay Blessing came to the Foundations class this week to answer that question on behalf of her parents, Mark and Rhonda Blessing, who serve as missionaries in Lviv, in far western Ukraine — a country, she reminded us, almost the exact size of Texas. The war has not slowed. This past May brought the highest civilian casualties since the conflict began in 2022.

“We were burdened beyond our strength… so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.” — 2 Corinthians 1:8–9

That burden, Lindsay said, is carried one day at a time on the prayers of God’s people — and those prayers are working. She pointed to Adam, a father battling chronic illness who came to faith and was baptized a year and a half ago. When a cramped apartment stood between him and custody of his younger son, Mark and Rhonda’s ministry helped him find a home with room for both boys. Just weeks ago, the court granted custody.

Stories like Adam’s — and the hundreds of refugees once sheltered at Bethel House — are why your prayers matter. Cards for prayer and financial partnership with the Blessings are on the table; take as many as you’d like.

★★★

Set Free · Galatians, Lesson 1

Could You Spot a Counterfeit From Your Seat?

That was the question that opened our summer series — and it was exactly Paul’s fear. Not fake currency, but a counterfeit gospel slipping in among brand-new believers.

We set the scene first: Galatia, a region in modern-day Turkey settled centuries earlier by Celtic warriors, where Paul planted four churches — Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe — on his first missionary journey. Into those churches came teachers insisting that faith in Christ wasn’t enough; you also had to keep the Jewish law. Paul’s answer is the heart of the gospel: we are justified by faith, through Christ alone.

You can hear the urgency in his greeting (Galatians 1:1–5). Where Paul usually opens with warmth and praise, here he skips the pleasantries and goes straight to the concern. A word study tells the same story — law appears more than any other term — yet the letter drives relentlessly toward one destination: freedom.
