The fourth part of the "Broken" series at Hope Community Church with Lead/Teaching Pastor Mike Lee on April 13, 2014. Hanging on a cross on either side of Jesus, one thief chose Him, the other, in anger, rejected Him. What’s keeping you from choosing Jesus?

It was the day that changed the world. On the first day, He was dead. On the third, He was alive again. What do you do with that? What do you do with Him? Watch Easter at Hope 2014.

Pastor Mike Lee's message from Hope Community Church on March 15/16, 2014. Community is a fundamental life search. As terms like neighbor, family and congregation are being redefined in the 21st century, people still crave face-to-face relationships. So how do we experience belonging as well as believing?

The first part of the "Broken" series leading up to Easter with Mike Lee from Hope Community Church on March 22/23, 2014.

The 7th part of the "Apply as Directed" series with Lead Pastor Mike Lee at Hope Community Church on February 15/16, 2014. We don’t think we’re rich, we think we’re only average. We feel we don’t really “have enough.” But what if it’s not about how much we have, but what we do with what we have?

The second week of the Apply as Directed series at Hope Community Church with Pastor Mike Lee from January 11/12 2014. The hardships of life do not shape us; how we respond to them does.

The third part of the series "Apply as Directed" by Lead Pastor Mike Lee at Hope Community Church on the weekend of January 18-19, 2014. There comes a time to stop standing still, to do something more than just listen, receive and get. At some point, we must do something different.
