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
Hernandez Family e3 Partners Mission
Dear friends and family,
Mayah and I have both felt a calling on our hearts to make disciples since a very young age. It began for Mayah when her family was on mission in Japan, reaching those who did not know Jesus. It began for me when my family lived in North Africa, where we desired to see others come to Jesus as well. This calling has continued throughout our life, and is a major testimony of how the Lord brought us together.
We are currently in Southern California seeking His Kingdom and laboring for Christ! We have been able to see several friends give their lives to Jesus, new leaders start churches, and walk with others to strengthen and encourage one another.
God is doing something amazing in the world today. He is working among people groups to draw all people to himself and we get the opportunity to be part of it. Through the years, he has worked in our hearts and is calling us into mission full-time.
We work with e3 Partners, which is a global missions agency advancing the Gospel and establishing the Church in over 65 countries. We belong to a body of over 400 staff and 2,000 national partners sharing his Gospel among the nations.
Your monthly support allow us to train and equip other disciples and churches in California to share the Gospel and make disciples as well as provides for our practical needs.
Through your financial support and prayer, you are part of our team and everything the Lord does in and through us. YOU are making an impact on the Kingdom with your contributions.
