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
Susan Kelly's Staff Support Fundraiser
We partner with nationals to build relationships in unreached communities that are closed to or resistant to the Gospel. Using practical, Bible-based methods, we equip, educate, and empower believers to integrate evangelism and discipleship with tangibly loving their neighbors to bring transformation to the whole person and community.
We empower believers and communities to identify and develop appropriate strategies for solving their greatness challenges and to use sustainable resources available within the community, avoiding unhealthy dependency on outsiders. In the process, they learn about Jesus's unconditional love and genuine concern for them. My heart, along with the e3 Tanzania team, is to reach the unreached, equip leaders and believers to go and make disciples, until all of Tanzania has an opportunity to know Jesus!

Matthew 6: 19- 21: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
