QUESTION: WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?

Could you use some hope?
Join Max on a five-week journey in the weeks up to Easter to uncover all the meaning and promise behind the most famous verse of the Bible... a twenty-six word parade of hope.

About the 3:16 Hardcover
Each copy of the 3:16 book includes a 40-day devotional designed to help you draw closer to your loving Savior.
"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.
If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. 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.
About the 3:16 Study Guide
In this updated classic Bible study (video streaming included), 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.
With deeply personal accounts of the way this verse shaped Max's own faith journey, this 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.
This video study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:
- The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.
- An individual access code to stream all five video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).
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.

Q&A
Where do I sign up for the Facebook group?
Join the group starting March 14! The group is optional for people who want more daily interaction and community. Be sure to read the community rules and remember to keep conversations on topic with no soliciting. We’d love to have you be a part of this group!
Can I buy the DVDs and watch that way?
Yes! You can buy the DVD in the FaithGateway store to have a copy of your own. You can also buy a combo pack that includes the DVD and the companion study guide. *With every DVD and/or STUDY GUIDE purchase receive FREE lifetime streaming video access to the videos!
I'm already part of a group. How can we do this study?
All of the online activities associated with the study are optional. You can still structure your group like a traditional Bible study using the free downloads we’ve provided and the study materials in the book. Follow our study calendar and meet every week or set up your own schedule and go at your group’s pace!
How can we discuss the study with others?
As you watch each study video, you’ll have the opportunity to comment and hear what others are saying. You can stick around after the video to answer discussion questions, too!
I don't live in the USA. How can I do the study?
Anyone with Internet access can watch the videos for FREE week by week, and follow along with the weekly emails. For the companion book and study guide, we recommend checking with your local Christian bookstore or international book retailer.
Is this something I can do via Zoom with friends?
Absolutely! The weekly videos will be available online so you could get on Zoom (or Skype, Google Hangouts, iChat, etc.), watch them at the same time, then discuss! We love this idea! What an awesome way to bond with friends across the miles.
