Welcome To Bible Foundations Radio!

You can know God. Who is He? What is He like? What does He require of us? What does He have planned for our eternal future? 

God wrote a book! 

The very foundation of a faith that pleases God is rooted in the identity of Jesus Christ. Understanding His identity begins in the first book of the Bible; Genesis. This study will lead you step-by-step to give you the substance and evidence needed to establish confidence in what God says He wants you to believe. 

This website is intended to introduce an archive of a radio broadcast that began airing in 1996. Jerry Smyth taught an overview of the Bible using the method called Chronological Bible Teaching as shown in the “Firm Foundations” Sunday School materials. 

Beginning in Genesis, the lessons build on each previous lesson, giving foundational information for clearly understanding the core of God’s message to you.

There are 71 audio lessons in Phase 1, Creation to Christ.

Is your faith built upon the strong foundation?

If your understanding of God’s revelation to man does not have a firm foundation, your faith may look something like the building pictured when difficulties come your way. 

These Bible lessons are designed to help you establish Firm Foundations in God’s identity, His character, the problem of sin,  and the substance of faith. 

These lessons build upon each other. This means that listening to the lessons out of sequence could lead to gaps in your understanding of God’s progressive revelation of Himself to mankind. This is not an exhaustive Bible study; the lessons pull together the major themes of the Bible to reveal the key concepts.
