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
Tom & Kathy Chambers-e3
I want to personally thank you for your continued prayers and support of our ministry with e3 Partners. We are constantly amazed by everything God is accomplishing through our mission trips and the training of those we partner with. You have been a big part of that.
Please prayerfully consider giving a monetary gift to help us continue God's kingdom work. Together we can impact 1000's of lives around the world for eternity, by bringing the lost to Christ, training others to share the gospel effectively, discipling new believers and starting new churches. Expand God's kingdom by sending us to those Christ died for, to those who are dying because they have never been given the opportunity to hear about His cross. For there is no greater rescue mission on this earth than to offer eternal life to those going down the "wide road that leads to destruction."
Together, let's "open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, in order that they may receive forgiveness of sins..." Acts 26:18
One day you will receive the reward of hearing Him say, "Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord." Thank you for making an eternal difference in this world.
Tom and Kathy Chambers
