Max Lucado's 3:16
"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." 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. This small group study, based on the book "3:16", unpacks the incredible message of John 3:16, illuminating one of the most beloved Scriptures in the entire Gospel. Experience these words as if you've never heard them before. Open your heart to the message of Jesus' twenty-six word parade of hope.
Young Families (Homebuilders)
