Testing Biblical Foundations' New Zoom Class Room now on Campus @ Houston's First Baptist Church
There were 14 attending class on campus Sunday. The class will repeat testing tomorrow. You are invited to "mask-up" and come on campus to be a part of the "Studio Audience" for Worship at 9:00am and stay for class in new Zoom classroom @ 10:30, Room 132 right next door to the Chapel.
Relax to this stringed instrumental of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" by clicking on the arrow in picture below. This classic hymn was written by the 18th century pastor and hymnodist Robert Robinson who penned the words in the year 1758 at the age of 22 when preparing a sermon for his church in Norfolk, England. These words have become one of the church’s most-loved hymns: “Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace.”
Using imagery of Christ as the giver of living water and the shepherd gathering his sheep back into the fold, this hymn reminds the worshipper of the ever bountiful grace of God. Like Robinson, we too are “prone to wander,” and are quick to seek redemption through our own power. But God continues to bring us back from our wandering, until, songs of praise on our lips, we dance forever before the mount of His redeeming love.

Sunday Biblical Foundations teacher Christopher Martin's lesson was a character study on the Disciple John. This was his introduction to a study on the Gospel of John which focuses on things we know about his life from both Scripture and extra-Biblical literature and draws several life lessons for us from his life.

The question began to arise in the heart, with unusual emphasis, ‘Shall we meet again? We are parting at the river of death, shall we meet at the river of life?' ‘Seating myself at the organ,’ says he, ‘simply to give vent to the pent up emotions of the heart, the words and music of the hymn began to flow out, as if by inspiration:—
