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
Jeff Sundell's Staff Support Fundraiser
No Place Left: 50-5-50 - 50 cities in 5 years to raise up 50, 4th Generation T4T trainers in each city. God continues to clarify His vision for our family in the States. Our nation is changing, and in the next 10 years, 187 cities will be majority-minority. What does majority-minority mean? In these major and mid-sized cities, populations will consist mainly of Asian immigrants, African immigrants, Middle Easterners, and those from the Latino world. What a change in a generation! God has brought Acts 1:8 to our doorstep. No longer are the ends of the earth thousands of miles away; they may be our nextdoor neighbor. So, God has given us a vision to train people with some simple Gospeling and discipling tools that, if mixed with some loud loving, will have a huge impact on our nation. Pray for 50-5-50! Pray Luke 10:2, as well; we need more laborers.
I invite you to partner with me in engaging the lost with the Gospel of Christ and discipling them to become reproducing disciplers following the Great Commission.
