Hope Fellowship - Mike Zenker

The book of Acts shares a story (not a prescription) of how the early church began.  Today we look at how the boldness of sharing good news replaced the fear and denial we saw at the end of the Gospels.  Enjoy!   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/TTkZbM3gEaM   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   ***Love what you are hea...

The Prodigal Son story usually focuses on the bad and wayward behaviour of one of the sons, and then ends with the angry older brother having a fit outside the party.  However, the story has nothing to do with forgiveness, repentance or any other ‘guilt trip’ motive that has been spun into the story.  The parable is about the ‘Loving Father’, the ‘Prodigal Father’.  Tune in to find out what ‘prodi...

You are invited to hear a personal story of ‘hope’ by Val Scott.  She beautifully shares the authentic pains of the past, pains of the today, and the hope that carried her through it.  I hope this will touch your heart in a meaningful way.   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/rPibXPXxLA0   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenk...

Jesus has now ascended, the disciples are afraid and hiding.  They are in for the shock of their lives, very much sensory overload.  The Holy Spirit is not given much attention in the ‘Western Church’, if it does, it highlights the Acts 2 narrative.   What about the other places where the ‘Holy Spirit’ is given or ‘fills’ someone that we don’t talk about much?  Today we hope to high light a few ot...

What happens after the resurrection?  How were the disciples impacted?  We take a little detour and share an introduction to the book of Acts.  There are a lot of key themes throughout the book but what may be even more interesting is seeing what else was going on in history along side the ‘biblical narrative.’  Enjoy!   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/AFg3kUaXzsg   or...

What happens after the resurrection?  How were the disciples impacted?  Today and next week, we continue the story and explore some of the “appearances” of Jesus, and then examine the ascension.  There may be a few surprises that you didn’t count on, but that is what Grace does, surprises and grows in us.  Enjoy!   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/lB8ja14vufY   or LISTE...

The Message Jesus shared impacted the lives of the disciples after the ascension.  It impacted how they lived, how they loved, and it changed their minds in how they thought.  It was the coming of the Holy Spirit that really fueled the power to express these changes from the inside out.  The good, the bad, the ugly, all of it was on display as they continued to learn and grow. What can we learn fr...

There was great joy when Jesus rose from the dead.  Looking back at the story, we can observe a deeper love that had been at work the whole time.  In a story of “heroes & villains’, even the villains are loved just as deeply as everyone else.  Ponder that this Easter.   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/vGg-ZICkZpE   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters....

There are only a few times that Jesus wept, at least only a few are recorded in the ‘Gospels’.  As we journey the road towards Easter, Palm Sunday is a day of people rejoicing and the Saviour weeping!   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/3tyyaSLwZzc   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   ***Love what you are hearing?  DON...

Those who had a hope in a violent Jesus, were thrilled to see or hear of Jesus turning over tables.  Finally permission to be vengeful.  However, Jesus modelled and taught the exact opposite of what they were hoping for.  He constantly stole the thunder from those hoping for power and superiority.  He turned over ‘rolls’, he turned over ‘faulty concepts of his Father’, he turned hearts towards lov...

Growing up does not mean just physically.  It doesn’t just mean in maturity either.  Growing up ‘Spiritually’ is something we tend to neglect because we don’t know what it looks like.  Today we will explore some Scriptures that encourage us to ‘grow up’ and what it is supposed to look like.  It has less to do with our behaviour than you might think, and then again it will mirror in our behaviour a...

Hope Fellowship has a very unique history.  Our journey of ‘growing in our knowledge and understanding’ of who God really is has been an adventure.  It included learning new things. (new to us), and unlearning things that just didn’t fit ‘a loving God’.  Enjoy as we chat through some of the big shifts in our theology over the past few years.   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://yo...

Hope Fellowship has a very unique history.  It’s past sheds light on it’s present and its future.  Today we take a moment to remember who Hope Fellowship is, it’s history and then explore the hope of it’s future!
