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.
Troy is the VP of Global City Strategy for e3. He and his family have a passion for spreading the gospel and equipping local believers to make disciples and plant churches. 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
Diane Harrington's Staff Support Fundraiser
I am so thankful to have been with e3 Partners these past 18 years leading church planting teams to 15 countries around the world, the latest being India.
Now God has laid on my heart the burden and passion to reach South Florida with the life-changing message of the Gospel with the e3 USA team. I am teaching a neighborhood Bible study, work as a peer counselor with Care Net (a local crisis pregnancy center), lead a women's Bible study at the county prison and volunteer with the chaplaincy program at a nearby hospital.
I pray that God will bless me with several more healthy and active years so that I can show and tell of the love of Jesus to the Treasure Coast. Amazingly, it has the highest percentage of "never churched" in the USA. That's higher than New York City!
I am very grateful for your partnership in missions! What a blessing and a privilege to have you on my support team! Your gift is an investment in eternity and will bear much fruit!
"In this way you will lay up treasure for the coming age, so that you may take hold of the life that is truly life." -1 Tim 6:19
