The Numbers of Hope

John 3:16, Timeless and powerful, these words proclaim a message of love, a source of hope, and a promise of life. One sentence, softly spoken nearly two thousand years ago, is just as relevant today as when Jesus first uttered it.

In this interactive small group study, Max Lucado unpacks the incredible message of John 3:16, illuminating one of the most beloved scriptures in the entire gospel. This would be a great study to invite a friend to attend. Use the sign-up sheet in the main-hallway to let us know you need a book for this class.
