Whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall. That's Paul's warning in 1 Corinthians 10:12. When Isaac remained faithful to God's commands, to stay in the land of promise and trust God to provide in the midst of famine, God blessed Isaac providing water and crops to Isaac and his household. But as time went on and Isaac grew old, the small seeds of favoritism he showed between his sons beg...

In the beginning God created life! Not just living plants and animals, but a very unique and special creation called human beings. Man and Woman were fashioned in the very likeness of God Himself and thus they carry an incredibly high value to Him. The death of the unborn, who themselves can't yet speak on their own behalf, is a direct attack against that which carries the highest value bearing th...

God is with you. Do you believe it? Isaac, the son of promise, is living in the land of promise with his wife Rebekah, who God led to him by divine providence, and his two sons born to them by divine intervention. But when another famine plagues the land of Canaan, will Isaac repeat the failures or the faith of his father Abraham? This week we begin reading through Genesis 26 and watch how Isaac l...

Who exactly are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Abraham is known today as the father of faith for many believers around the world. And Jacob, who was renamed Israel, became the namesake of the nation of Israel throughout time until today. But who was Isaac, and what can we learn from the son of the promise given to Abraham millennia ago? This week we finish reading through Genesis 25 and learn about th...

Abraham was how old when he died?! One hundred years after God promised Abraham a land for him and his descendants, the only part of that land Abraham owned was the cave and field where he and Sarah were buried. But as Abraham walked with God year by year, his trust in God deepened until his life would become a testimony to the faithfulness of God to those who trust in Him. This week we begin read...

How can I tell God is working in my life? Abraham lived and long a full life, having his faith tested and proved steadfast. After burying his wife, Sarah, and seeing his journey on earth coming to an end, Abraham looks to the future of his beloved son, Isaac, and sends his servant to find a good and faithful wife for Isaac. This week we continue our study through Genesis with chapter 24. We'll loo...

What is Pentecost? In Acts 2, the disciples of Jesus were gathered together praying during Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them, and today we celebrate Pentecost as the day the church was born. But have you ever wondered what the significance of Pentecost was to the Jewish disciples before that day? Join us this week as Henry Monreal from Chosen People Ministries shares a messag...

What do fathers teach their children about God? Whether we realize it our not, the way fathers treat their children will mold the way their children go on to perceive God. So what should we do to teach our children about God? In Luke 15, Jesus told three parables ending with the well-known parable of the prodigal son. Join us this week as we study this parable, focusing on the character of the mer...

Faith Conquers Death! Do you believe it? Since the fall of man, death has been a relentless presence to life on earth. The greatest men of faith were not immune from grief and death. For over 60 years, Abraham and Sarah lived through life together as they followed after God through the ups and downs of life. Until the day that death came to separate them. This week we read through Genesis 23 and s...

Which is more important: obedience or sacrifice? Abraham's journey of faith had persevered over many decades through many spiritual highs and spiritual failures when God's promise of a son was fulfilled in the birth of Isaac. But after years of peace living in the blessing of God's fulfilled promise, God had one more test for Abraham to prove the quality of Abraham's faith. This week we begin read...

When will God finish the work that He started? Twenty-five years after God first called Abraham and Abraham set out on his journey of faith, God's promise that Abraham would have a son by Sarah his wife is finally fulfilled! Unfortunately, the miraculous birth of Isaac doesn't mean that Abraham and his family go on to live happily ever after. But does the continuing conflicts in Abraham's househol...

If I'm supposed to be dead to sin, why do I keep sinning? Abraham, a great man of faith who left his home at God's command and saved his nephew from invading armies. The man whom God counted righteous simply for believing that God would do the things He promised. After God visited Abraham and shared a meal with him and promised him a son by Sarah his wife, Abraham finds himself wandering again fro...

Happy Mother's Day! The role of a mother is already a difficult calling without our modern society's attack on motherhood and the family structure. But the Bible says there is an immense blessing in raising children and walking with your children before the Lord. In our study this week, John Stephens offers encouragement to mothers with Biblical steps to take to raise their children in the truth o...

God's will be done; or my will be done? Our modern American society places a high value on freedom, independence, and self-determination. And many churches in the US love verses like: "He who the Son sets free is free indeed" (John 8:36). But if Christ came to set us free, why did the apostles who wrote the New Testament call themselves slaves of Christ? This week we take a break from our study th...

If prayer is so simple, why is it so hard? Prayer is a fundamental part of the life of a believer. It's the main way we stay connected to God, our Father and Redeemer. But for something so simple, does it ever feel like effective prayer is so hard to figure out? This week we take a break from our study through Genesis to hear a message from Pastor Ron about this vital part of the Christian life: P...

He is Risen! In this episode, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ together as the body of Christ.

He is Risen! In this episode, we celebrate the resurrection on our Lord and Savior while watching the sunrise.

Happy Good Friday and welcome to Hosanna- your church! In this episode, we praise God for the sacrifice He made for us on the cross as we enter into Easter weekend.

Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Throughout Jesus's ministry on earth, He repeatedly told people to keep His identity a secret after healings or other miracles. Until that day when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy and declaring Himself Israel's coming King--even if He wasn't the King they were expecting. This week we take a break from our study through...

What kind of legacy are you leaving behind? The Lord judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness, but in His grace He spared Lot and his family by taking them out of the city. After years of compromised living in a wicked society, what kind of life will Lot and his daughters go on to live? This week we finish Genesis 19 and see what kind of legacy Lot will leave behind him. We'll...

Won't the judge of the whole earth do what is just? After the Lord visited Abraham and shared a meal, He told Abraham the purpose of His visit: to investigate the great cry from the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to see if the time for judgment against the cities had come. With concern for his nephew, Lot, Abraham intercedes for the cities, asking God whether He would judge the righteous with the wi...

I prayed for someone else one time--isn't that enough? When the Lord Himself passed by Abraham's tent in Hebron, Abraham rejoiced to play host to three heavenly visitors, who shared a meal and an encouraging promise with Abraham and Sarah. As the meal ended and the visitors rose to leave, the Lord would go on to share with Abraham the reason He passed by that day: to investigate the outcry against...

Is the impossible possible? When God visited Abraham and shared a meal with him and talked to Abraham face to face as a friend, God spoke His promise again that Sarah would bear a son to be Abraham's heir. As Sarah eavesdropped on the conversation, she laughed in unbelief, for surely it is impossible for a barren woman of 90 years to give birth to a son! This week we continue reading Genesis 18 an...

What if you heard Jesus was coming to visit? Would you spend time cleaning up or preparing a big meal? Would you rush out to meet Him? Well, when the newly-renamed Abraham received a special visit from the Lord, he went above and beyond to share a meal with God and became a great example of what it means to be the friend of God. This week we return to our study in Genesis with a message from Genes...

Do what in remembrance of Jesus? When Jesus met with his disciples to partake of the Passover meal the night before He would be crucified, He instituted a new ordinance for His future church to observe with the command to "Do this in remembrance of Me." But what does it mean to remember Jesus when we come to the Lord's table for communion? This week for our communion service, Pastor Ron Love share...
