We want to help people learn easy ways to share the hope and love of Christ with their neighbors in the midst of this crisis. People are searching for hope right now, and as Christians, we have an opportunity to share the one true source of hope with them. This series is meant to do just that — to share the hope of Jesus through looking at specific stories in the Bible.
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” — 1 Peter 3:15
The Content:
The Bible Stories of Hope series is a discovery Bible study on Jesus’ authority over all. Each week we’ll go through a story from the book of Luke highlighting Jesus, His love, His power, and ultimately the hope He gives us. We’ll discuss what the story teaches us, and how we should apply the lesson to our lives.
The Format:
Each session starts with a time of care, allowing each person to briefly share how they are doing. Then we move into a time of accountability where we follow up on the actions we challenged ourselves to do at the end of the previous week’s session (e.g. share the Bible story with someone else).
From there, we move into a time of studying — reading through a new Bible story and discussing the meaning and importance of the story. We answer questions from the text and then practice retelling the story so that we can build confidence in sharing it with others. Lastly, we close by thinking of someone in our sphere of influence we can share the story with in the coming days, and then we pray together.
The Series Leader:
e3 Partners’ own Troy Cooper will be leading us through the Bible Stories of Hope series.

They live on mission among the 93% unchurched communities in southern California and serve in various other parts all over the world as well.
Recordings from Previous Weeks
Dave McClain's e3 Partners Fundraiser
I know God is doing something amazing in the world today and have seen some of it first hand!! I know that He is calling all believers to be His ambassadors - 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. He has shown this to me over the past few years by using me to start a couple of home-churches, to disciple others, to have me be a part of - and even now - lead a residency to help give others a game plan and/or tools for discipling others, and finally, by giving me the honor of sharing His Good News in the harvest fields!
I have always had a heart for overseas missions, especially Asia, and my heart has grown for the United States as well. I see the need for those to help others here see His plan to make disciples everywhere. My desire is for God to find people who do not want to just try and fit Jesus into their schedule, but want to surrender completely to His will in all His ways. A desire that these people will accept this same mission that He has given me - to make disciples and share the Good News to the ends of this Earth.
Now, through prayer, we know He has worked in my heart and is calling me into mission full-time with e3 Partners. e3 Partners is a global missions agency advancing the Gospel and establishing the Church in over 65 countries. I belong to a body of over 400 staff and 2,000 national partners sharing his Gospel among the nations.
