New in-Home Small Group Studies Based on Max Lucado’s 3:16

A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16

This verse is an alphabet of grace, a table of contents to the Christian hope, each word a safe-deposit box of jewels.

In interactive study experiences, based on Max Lucado's book 3:16, we will unpack the wonderful message of John 3:16, illuminating one of the most beloved Scriptures in the entire Bible. This study is for those who know these words, and for those hearing them for the first time. We all need its promise.

So come enjoy the in-home small group experience…embark on a journey of hope and encouragement for daily living. If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything in the Bible, return here. It's a twenty-six word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life and urging us to do the same. He Loves. He Gave. We Believe. We Live.

Small groups are forming in a number of homes in a number of geographic locations. Each will move as its own self-determined pace through the 12-unit study.

At the Info Table in Lowry Hall, please note your name and contact information, the day you’d like to meet (Friday or Sunday), and whether
you will need child care. A small group leader or coordinator will contact you.

The Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope. Romans 15:4

It’s one thing to read the Bible, but it’s another to connect Bible teachings with the world in which we make decisions. Our Christian education group sessions are designed to help make the connection between biblical teachings – like love, courage, forgiveness and patience – and everyday life. Come, join us.
