3:16 Audio Bible Studies, Updated Edition: The Numbers of Hope

*Entirely rewritten and rerecorded for a more focused and deeply personal study of the most-loved verse in the Bible-John 3:16. In this updated classic Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado pulls back the curtain on his favorite Bible passage to move you to a profound awareness of God's limitless love, His incalculable sacrifice, and the certainty of His offer of eternal life. '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.' This passage is a twenty-six-word parade of hope. A verse brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment...and solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. With deeply personal accounts of the way this verse shaped Max's own faith journey, this audio study will reveal the gospel story surrounding the promise and unpack God's plan of restoration from the human problems of sin and death. If you know nothing about the Bible, the promise of John 3:16 is where to start. It's time to live as if you've been 'born again', as if you've already been redeemed. It's time to live into the promise, to trust it-so much that this message of God's unending love overflows from you to the world. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, 3:16 Study Updated includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

We've all had our fair share of disappointments, loss, or hardships. But for every challenge there is a breathtaking promise: It's going to be okay. How can we know? Because God so loved the world. In 3:16, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado encourages us to study closely the "Hope Diamond of the Bible": John 3:16. Max says of his favorite verse, "Every time I recall these words, they are fresh and as stunning as my first encounter with them. The mind-bending awareness of God's limitless love, his incalculable sacrifice, and the priceless teaching at the core. How can we not review it again and again? I want this generation, and all who come after, to look closely at the key promise of God and choose the gift beyond all gifts."

John 3:16 invites you to know God's love deeply and intimately. And once you accept God's love, your life will never be the same. If you know everything in the Bible, return here. Let John 3:16 become the banner of your life, so much so that the message of God's unending and unbending love overflows from you to others. 3:16 also includes a 40-day devotional read by Max to help you draw closer to your loving Savior.

Glory Days: Audio Bible Studies: Living Your Promised Land Life Now

Life has a way of taking the life out of us. Often we go through situations where the challenge seems so much greater than our strength. During such times, we can find hope and inspiration from the story of Joshua. God had called Joshua to take over from Moses and lead the Israelites into a paradigm shift from wilderness wandering to promise-believing. In Canaan, they would not fight for victory but fight from victory. God had a Promised Land in store for them, but they had to grasp that reality, change their mindsets, and take action to receive it. The same is true for us today. God is telling us that our best days-our "glory days"-are still ahead of us. We only need to grasp that truth and live in faith to realize this promise. This six-session Bible study (guide sold separately) includes leader helps, discussion questions, conversation starters, and between-session activities to enhance your understanding and application of Max's teaching.

Whether you listen on your commute, while walking outside, or over a lunch break, you can access high-quality audio Bible studies wherever you are.

God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Lo

Read by the author. Ever wonder if you've stumbled one too many times for God to use someone like you? Could you benefit from an encounter with God's unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion? If your answer is yes, it's time for you to see how God's grace transformed Jacob's life. And if you feel undeserving of God's grace, this book will serve as a refresher course on God's perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things. God Never Gives Up on You is for the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel; we mean well, but we don't always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures. But where can we find examples of God's steadfast grace? No one is more suited to help assure you of God's grace than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Weak on conscience. Jacob took advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob. And he won't turn his back on you. If you are ready to start counting on God's grace and believe he never gives up on you, this book is for you. Discussion questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
