The Great Awakening Pt6 Boldness & Community

May 26, 2024 17:01 - 34 minutes - 31.1 MB

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/RC0d1LV2w1I   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   ***Love what you are hearing?  DONATE TODAY AND HELP KEEP THIS GOING:   Hope Fellowship:   https://hopefel...

The Great Awakening Pt5 Pentecost Sunday

May 19, 2024 17:27 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MB

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 others as we celebrate ‘Pentecost Sunday’. Enjoy!   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  ...

The Great Awakening Pt4 The Story Of Acts

May 05, 2024 18:30 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MB

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 LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   *...

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 LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   ***Love...

The Road Beyond Easter – Living Loved Part 4

April 07, 2024 18:58 - 36 minutes - 33 MB

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 from their stories?   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/-kHxOwbMTw...

Easter Sunday – Hope Restored, A Deeper Love Part 3

March 31, 2024 16:56 - 39 minutes - 36 MB

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.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   ***Love what you are hearing?  DONATE TODAY AND HELP ...

March 24, 2024 17:29 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB

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?  DONATE TODAY AND HELP KEEP THIS GOING:   Hope Fellowship:   https://hopefellowshipycc...

Jesus: Modeling True Divinity ‘Humility, Servanthood, & Equality’ - Part 1

March 17, 2024 17:28 - 34 minutes - 31.1 MB

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 love and humility.  This Easter, ‘look for’ those subtle messages in the big storylines.  You will ...

Growing Up – Unwrapped Gifts – Knowing Your Identity Pt5 (Final)

March 10, 2024 19:16 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MB

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 as we continue to mature.  Enjoy   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu....

The Road Ahead Pt 2 – Top 10 Beliefs We Are Growing In

February 04, 2024 21:36 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MB

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://youtu.be/qGmeqvXs1Hk   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

January 21, 2024 18:03 - 37 minutes - 34 MB

‘Believing What Is True About How God Sees You Impacts How You Live’ The goodness of God is true whether we believe it or not.  However, ‘if we do’ believe it, it will radically transform our minds, bodies, actions, and those around us.  Today we explore some of the more obvious Scriptures that seem to ‘declare the goodness of God’.  If you have ears to hear, then hear this good news about how much you are loved and accepted.  Enjoy!     Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  htt...

‘What You Focus On Matters’ Pt 2 Awareness Helps You Focus On The Right Things

January 14, 2024 18:29 - 36 minutes - 33.9 MB

There are times we ‘do not realize’ that our attention has been attracted to our circumstances.  We focus so hard on the problem, the fruit of the problem, and make plans to correct the problem.  However, ‘the problem’ is not the primary focus, at least is isn’t supposed to be.  Today we explore other ways to ‘intentionally’ redirect our thinking process and find better places to keep our focus.  Enjoy this meaningful message today!!     Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https...

‘You Will Have What Your Faith Expects’ …So What Do You Expect?

January 07, 2024 20:20 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

Have you ever been disappointed?  Of course you have.  However, the word ‘disappointed’ comes from ‘failed expectations’.  Where you put your faith can have some similarities.  We can put our faith in the idea that ‘things will turn out badly’…..and then we ‘see’ that result and think to ourselves, ‘told you so.’  What if there is a more ‘hope-filled perspective’ on where to place our faith?  Enjoy this meaningful message today!!     Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://y...

It’s Ok To Change Your Mind (and you NEED to)

December 31, 2023 19:33 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

It is ok to, and sometime necessary to ‘change our minds’.  What we believed about a certain topic may need to change when ‘new or new-to-you’ information comes your way.  In Scripture we see many who changed their minds and a few who did not.  How flexible we are will reveal a lot about how we have been programed to learn.  Be teachable, not gullible.

December 24, 2023 18:27 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

The wisemen and Mary & Joseph plotted their course by faith AND by what they saw as a result of the faith given TO THEM.  We each have a measure of faith, and each measure is a gift, not something we ‘muster up’.  Let’s live from THAT faith and experience an abundant life!!  ENJOY!!     Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/KUuqPj6HO1k   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   ***Love what you are hearing?  Dona...

Third Advent: ‘Faith/Love’

December 17, 2023 18:45 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

Faith is not something we ‘muster up’ or ‘try to create out of nothingness’.  Faith is a gift and the measure we receive is what we are able to express.  The ‘simple faith’ of the shepherds is something to ponder.  ENJOY!!     Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/SKhFnu29vlg   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-zenker   ***Love what you are hearing?  Donate today and help keep this going:   Hope Fellowship:   ...

December 10, 2023 20:17 - 31 minutes - 28.4 MB

Mary has her own stress of trying to convince everyone she is telling the truth.  Joseph also has a crazy dilemma to wrestle with, truth or lying….

“Love Heals The Scars” Solemnly Remembering The Journey Pt1

Each of us have faced loss, pain, and sometimes deep hurts.  Those hurts can scar us for life.  Agape/Love can heal the pain of those scars but the scars may remain as a reminder.  They remind us of our humanity.  They remind us we all have been hurt and have hurt others.  They remind us that the scar does not define ‘who’ we are, instead they remind us of the path we have already walked.  Maybe we can learn how to let Agape/Love heal the pain from those scars if we have not yielded to Agape...

November 05, 2023 18:14 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB

Maybe it is not so much about learning ‘new’ teaching as it is understanding and applying what we have already been taught.  What if we celebrated the value of ‘being reminded’ instead of trying to learn new things.  This is where we may find ‘hope’ when things are not going well, as well as when things are going well.  If we open our eyes to see, we will be stunned at the overflowing grace that has ‘already’ been communicated to us.  We will see it in the hurting, the outcast, those with le...

Today, here in Canada, we celebrate 'Thanksgiving'.  May we learn how to 'stop and ponder' our life, give thanks for all we have.  May we give thanks for all the relationships that have brought us to the place we are right now.  May we ponder 'gratitude' one more moment more than we did last year.  May gratitude become the heartbeat of our soul.    Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/OfCqPG1CrGk   or LISTEN to it on our PODCAST https://podcasters.spotify.com/p...

Today’s message is inspired by a friend who suddenly passed away.  The mark he left is a great tribute to who he truly was.  Kenny Craven was a man who knew he was loved, lived loved and was known as a man who loved.  As I read through his tributes I’m deeply moved but even more impressed by the fact this man actually lived out a life loving others as he was loved.  I hope this is an encouraging message, maybe it is the encouragement you needed today.   Watch today’s ‘edited’ message on YO...

“Living Out The Faith Within” - Reminders Of Foundational Mindsets

June 11, 2023 17:27 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

It is easy to become distracted with ‘correct theology’, or discovering ‘a deeper and more mystical’ understanding of certain texts in Scripture.  It can be extremely enjoyable!  It can however, distract us from actually ‘living out the Faith within us’.  We can easily forget some of the key expressions of faith we have been called to ‘live out’.    The disciples and later ‘The people of the way’ or ‘Christians’ didn’t have ‘Bible Studies’ and ‘Greek & Hebrew’ classes.  They were excited to ...

Do You Realize What Happened? Pt 3 The Good News: It Just Gets Better The Deeper You Look

June 04, 2023 18:39 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MB
