When people deal with color, class or culture in a negative way, that’s racism. It’s important, and Biblical, that we learn to relate to one another graciously and work to combat even the subtleties of bigotry. Listen in for a message that leads us to God’s vision of humanity, free from color, class or cultural division. [MP3]

The word of God is like a mirror, showing us what we really look like. If we look close enough, we might see a discrepancy in the reflection — between what we say we believe and what we actually believe, what we say we are and what we really are, and what we know we should do and what we actually do. Listen as Pastor Mike holds up the mirror, our challenge is what we’ll do about the reflection we see there. [MP3]

In the end, what if all we could say about living out our faith was “Missed it by that much!” This summer, the teaching pastors of Hope will challenge us to demonstrate that our faith in Christ goes beyond feelings and emotions to life-changing action. If you want a practical, no-nonsense approach to walking the walk and talking the talk, then “Get Smart” and join us! [MP3]

As author Philip Yancey wrote, “Grace is the church’s one great distinctive.” The world can’t duplicate it and yet craves it above all else for it is the only thing that offers true hope and transformation. With the conclusion of this series, we are faced with an ongoing challenge: are we showing grace in action or keeping it to ourselves? [MP3]

Because God so richly, extravagantly and surprisingly indulges us with His love and grace, it is the motivating factor for everything we do as a church. As individuals, are we personally motivated to extend grace as well? This weekend Pastor Mike challenges us with another timely examination of the anatomy of grace. [MP3]
