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
Dan & Lorie Hitzhusen's Staff Support Team
You will not believe the privilege God has given me! I am overwhelmed with His goodness for allowing me to pursue my passion & my dream! I am coming on staff with an incredible ministry, e3 Partners, to help lead the children strategies initiative. I get to travel around the world to train people to reach children and parents for Christ. SO SO EXCITING!!!! This is my dream come true!
When I was in Cuba last November I met a 5 year old boy named Ricky. He was so hungry for God! He absorbed everything we shared like a sponge. When it was time to go sharing the Gospel in the neighborhood, he dragged us to his mom’s house so she could hear about Jesus! When we got to their door he pushed me from behind to hurry me up. He shared the Gospel with her using the EvangeCube. What a precious sight to my heart! It brought tears to my eyes. As we were leaving their area he says, “This is so important! I have to share this with everyone!” Pinch me please! This was truly beautiful. I want to train people all over the world to do this exact ministry.
With this privilege comes a huge responsibility. That's where you come in. I cannot do it alone! I am looking for a team of godly Christian people that will come alongside with their prayers and with their finances to partner with me in this huge endeavor. God is doing amazing things! Please prayerfully consider joining my team to reach thousands of precious children for Christ. They are hungry and in need of Jesus and we can shine Jesus TOGETHER!
Please glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together (Psalm 34:3) by reaching the other "Ricky's" of the world!
