Houston's First Baptist Church

Professor James Tour from Rice University was born and raised a Jew in the New York City area. While in college in 1977, he asked Jesus to forgive him for his sins and to come into his heart. At our special Maundy Thursday service, Dr. Tour shares how Jesus Christ’s life is seen clearly in the Old Testament, and how it was one of total self donation, one for the other. No matter what you are going through, no matter your pain or hurt, Jesus Christ is fully able to empathize with us, and He lives to make intercession on our behalf.
