The second part of a series called "Big Questions, Honest Answers" at Hope Community Church in Holly Springs, NC. Message by Chris Cockerham on July 20/21 2013. We live our lives in constant pursuit of. . .something. As soon as we think we’ve found what we’re looking for, there’s always something better and brighter just outside our reach.

The third part of the "Close Encounters" series at Hope Community Church with Donnie Peters from the weekend of June 15/16. Sometimes it all seems so unfair. Why them and not us? Why you and not me? When Jesus came face to face with this man and miraculously met his need, others were left pondering the very same questions.

Join Pastor Mike Lee from Hope Community Church in Raleigh NC as he launches a new series called Close Encounters. Ordinary people in ordinary moments experiencing extraordinary encounters with Jesus. Part one of the series focuses on Jesus and the Widow. So busy looking for Jesus in expected places and spaces, we often overlook when He shows up in our everyday, ordinary routines. And when He does, He’s more than aware of our attitudes, motives and heart’s desires.

Part two in the Close Encounters message series at Hope Community Church with Lead Pastor, Mike Lee. Shunned. Avoided. Isolated. And the one thing you never did was touch them. Yet not only did Jesus heal him, He touched him. What does an encounter with God offer? Compassion. Kindness. Inclusion.

The 5th and final message in the He Said, She Said, God Said series at with KidCity Director, Bryan Cheney from Hope Community Church. You might not guess the one thing that will help you as a parent leverage extraordinary influence in your children's lives. It’s a solid cause and effect strategy not for “he said” or “she said,” but for “they said.”

A tremendous conflict occurs between men and women when unfulfilled expectations become demands. What would happen if we better understood what men think, fear, want, and need, and if we truly understood the purpose God has given men?

The fourth message in the series She Said, He Said, God Said with Pastor Mike Lee from Hope Community Church. When a man follows the principles of biblical manhood, those around him benefit from his leadership and care. So how can men be empowered and encouraged to exercise the God-given leadership they were created for?

Ever have a hard time believing a dead man actually came back to life? You’re not the only one. His own followers couldn’t quite grasp it either. So what made them change their minds? What would change yours?

Since we know men and women are different, why then do we constantly expect the same actions and feelings from them? What would/could happen if we understood and embraced God’s intended purpose for the differences?

The second message in the series She Said, He Said, God Said with Pastor Mike Lee from Hope Community Church. The Bible’s pretty clear about the honorable way men should treat women. So what are the consequences for not doing so? And what are the blessings when men do?

Message from Mike Lee, Pastor of Hope Community Church from the weekend of March 23/24 2013. The week began with palm branches and celebration, but it didn’t end that way. And as we prepare for the triumph of Easter, we must first each take our own solitary journey to the cross.

The fifth message in the "You @ Work" series from Mike Lee at Hope Community Church on March 9-10th. Is your life compartmentalized? Here's work and over there is your personal life? What if God were allowed to be an active part of both?

The second message in the "You @ Work" series from Mike Lee at Hope Community Church on Feb 16/17. In a world of extremes, balancing the professional and personal callings on our life is challenging. How do we navigate these responsibilities and make choices that reflect our relationship with Christ?

The first message in the "You @ Work" series from Mike Lee at Hope Community Church on Feb 9-10th. Given that God's Word is clear on this matter, why do we find it so difficult to respect those in authority over us? Why do we find rebellion against authority so natural and easy? How can we turn that around?

The fourth message in the "You @ Work" series from Mike Lee at Hope Community Church on March 2/3.

How can we turn that around?

This weekend we'll celebrate how Hope has been helping to change the world both near and far. Celebrate with us as we share stories of triumph, life change and the living out of Acts 1:8.

You're more than a sidekick and your story matters. It can even help change the world. Are you sharing it?

Because the characteristics described in the Beatitudes flagrantly counter the world's way of doing things, conflict with those who identify with Christ is inevitable.

Jesus said "...go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone." It's not about missions, it's about being on mission.

God has poured out His blessings on Hope Community Church, but with His blessings come great responsibilities. It's time to fully grasp and activate our superpower.

Purity of heart holds a mirror to our deepest motivations, purposes and desires, and determines what we'll do about them.

As we hunger after God, we'll become more like Him by giving grace to the undeserving and mercy to the miserable.

When we have truly mourned our sin, we gladly take the next step of submitting our will to God's.

Why is it we often tend to view God only as a stern, unhappy deity overseeing all we do? Jesus tackles that head on when his first message on earth tells how and why God wants us to be happy.

When God tells us to trust Him, what risk are we willing to take to do so?

Recognizing our need for God leads to mourning in our hearts over our sinful condition that separates us from Him.

We like seeing all the cards before we make a move but God tells us to lay them down and trust Him.

Being poor in spirit means recognizing our spiritual need for God.

God is great, God is good. It’s a short prayer we dutifully recite. But do our lives really reflect our thankfulness? What moments and methods find us displaying thankful hearts to a gracious Savior? Join us for this special Thanksgiving message.

Whether joyful memories abound or the lows were too many to count in 2012, it's in the past. Move forward with us this weekend and learn how to make 2013 your best year ever.

If we knew how things would turn out, we’d be all in. However God tells us to be all in because we trust Him.

We’ve recited the Christmas story with such familiarity for so long that it’s easy to overlook one very important promise within it. Come this weekend and unwrap the gift you might be missing.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Skype. We can instantly connect with one another online. Why then do we feel lonely? Maybe because the illusion of connecting can't take the place of actually connecting one on one and face to face.

Being the church instead of just going to church is God's design for how we are to live interdependently with one another.

To love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ requires that we establish an authentic church culture of true community.

We live in a culture promoting isolation, autonomy and inauthenticity. We desperately need the authentic relationships Jesus had in mind when he prayed that His followers would be one.
