Sundays with Hosanna Fellowship

Pastor Bill Grace preaches on how God took the formless, that which was in confusion and chaos, and brought form to it.  The Holy Spirit is always hovering over our lives as He hovered over the formless and empty earth in the beginning of time. God wants to bring form to our lives but we must first open ourselves to Him.

Pastor Gray expounds on John 11:25-26, "I am the resurrection, and the life," and all that means for us who believe.  Resurrection means to be brought up from the dead, but another meaning is "stand on your feet again." When your memories outweigh your dreams, a resurrection needs to take place.  Jesus is the one who will stand us up on our feet and put us on solid ground. Christ gave us zoe life—...

Pastor Bill Grace preaches on Romans 12:2-3, encouraging us to be transformed by renewing our mind, which we do by meditating on the Word. When God created man, He gave him dominion over the earth. We have that same dominion today.  Pastor Grace admonishes us to take dominion over our flesh, our thoughts, and our senses (taste, touch, etc.). We do this through meditation of the Word. With that, Go...

Hosanna Fellowship gives to 18 ministries worldwide. One of them is the Pregnancy Resource Center of St. Joseph, Missouri.  Guest speaker Libby Owens, director of the Center,  gives an update on the work and ministry of the center in helping pregnant women and saving babies from abortion.

Pastor Gray examines the Parable of the Sower and encourages those who "have ears to hear, let him hear."  In this parable, the seed is the Word of God, and we are the ground. But not all heard the Word because hearing means what enters into the heart. Is the Word entering your heart and taking root?  Pastor makes reference to last week's sermon by Pastor Mark Linder on choosing your hard—marriage...

On the day that President Trump rededicates the US to God, Pastor Gray preaches on 2 Chronicles 7:14, "if my people...will."  In this verse, God gives his people—which applies to Old Testament Israel and the New Testament church—a choice. They can humble themselves, pray, seek his face, and turn from their sins; then God will hear their prayer, forgive their sins, and heal their land. 

We're living in a day of deception like we've never seen before. What does this have to do with a virtuous woman? Listen in for more.  In American society today, women are pressured not to have children. How do we recognize deception when it comes in the name of the Lord? The description of a virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 will show us. That woman is not acceptable today, but the woman of Prov. 31...

Pastor Gray preaches on vision from Proverbs 29:18, "where there is no vision, the people perish."  God told the prophet Habakkuk to write down the vision that he who read it could run with it. God's vision is within His Word.  Are you reading it?  Are you hearing it?  Are you keeping it?  When the Word is unveiled, we see the beauty of God. 

Pastor Gray teaches from Col. 2:9–15 on water baptism.  Baptism in the Greek means signify through immersion, washing, cleansing, and identification for burial; total lasting change. "For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God" (Col. 2:12 NLT). In baptism, the old man dies as one is fully immersed in...

Pastor Bill Grace preaches on rededication, transformation, and revival in the church.  God is a prayer-hearing, prayer-answering God. He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and we will prophesy before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come. But we need to be ready.  That readiness begins by being in alignment with God.  Where are you? Seeking your will or God's?

Pastor Gray teaches from Eph. 5:22-33 on how marriage should operate and how it models Christ and the Church.  Revival in the church starts with revival in the family.  Marriage between a man and a woman is a kingdom principle, and how it operates is laid out in Ephesians 5:22-33. The marriage models  how God intends for the relationship between Christ and His church to operate.  Listen in to lear...

Pastor Grays delivers his Resurrection Sunday sermon based on John 19:30.  When Jesus said "it is finished," he accomplished all that needed done to bring salvation and redemption to mankind. He gave us power over sin, power to heal, power to raise the dead, and power  over the devil to reign here on Earth.  Those who accept Jesus as Savior have eternal life in heaven. That also means, those who r...

On this Palm Sunday Pastor preaches on 1 Cor. 15:45, "The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit."  A donkey represents peace and servanthood, and that's what Jesus brought with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. The people who praised him that day shouted for his crucifixion a week later.   God the Father did not die for our sins. Neither did...

Pastor Gray preaches on Philippians 2:12, "work our your own salvation with fear and trembling."  How do we behave when we are by ourselves? Is it different from when we are around others? God gives us instructions, and obedience to that is better than to sacrifice. As we work out to keep our body fit, we need to do the same way with our salvation. Listen in for more.

Pastor Gray takes an in depth look at Galatians 2:20, being crucified with Christ.  The apostle Paul stated that he had been crucified with Christ and that Christ now lived within him. We can be saved--born again believers--with Christ within us, but are we walking in Sonship? To walk in Sonship is to deny oneself and be led by the Spirit.  Are there areas of your life that need to be crucified?

Pastor Gray expounds on how God worked on King Jehoshaphat's behalf as the Israelites faced 3 enemies in a major battle.  In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat and Israel faced a mighty army from Aram. The Lord said, "Do not be afraid…for the battle is not yours, but God's." The next day, the Israelites stepped toward their enemy, singing the praise and worship for the Lord. And God routed their en...

Visiting Pastor John Gaddam of India delivers a powerful message of why God allowed Daniel to be thrown into the lions den.  Daniel was a man of determination, dedication, and devotion as a captive in a foreign country. So, one could wonder why God didn't deliver Daniel before he was thrown to the lions.  Why? is the question we often ask when we find ourselves facing our own "lions den." Listen i...

Pastor Gray preaches on the power of the Holy Spirit and His baptism.  The baptism of the Holy Spirit brings us the power to preach the gospel and be God's witnesses throughout the world. Listen in for more.

Pastor Gray admonishes the church to let no man deceive you.  We are in the last hour before the coming judgment.  Like the foundation and roof of a house, the church has a foundation and roof as well. But the foundation is broken and the roof is leaking because we have strayed away from the Word of God. The unholy trinity--Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet--will do all it can to deceiv...

Pastor Bill Grace encourages us to bring the gospel to today's young people.  We are living in the last days and daily the words of Revelation are manifest.  Many false prophets will arise to attempt to deceive us. To counter that we must see the great I AM, get the Word down in us, and preach the gospel with confidence and boldness to the young people of today.

Pastor Gray preaches about Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and the kingdom principle of give first to God.  God desires us to bring His message to those who don't know him. For Elijah that meant going into an area where the people worshipped other gods. God had already begun to move on the heart of the widow facing starvation.  Elijah told her to give him food first, and then for her and her son...

Pastor Mark Linder of The Dwelling Place in Florence, Alabama, exhorts us to influence our world rather than be those who are influenced. The Church should be the most relevant organization on Earth.  God delivers his gospel message through the family unit, which is why Satin is so intent on destroying the family. God intends for us to influence the world, but are we seeking a culture of comfort i...

Pastor Gray preaches from Acts. 20:22-24 about the apostle Paul finishing his "race with joy, and the ministry" he received from the Lord.  All believers have a purpose and work God destined for them. And whatever it is for you, that's your "church," where you preach the gospel of Christ to those around you.  It doesn't mean you won't face difficulties, but Christ is with you, helping you fight th...

Pastor exhorts us from Matthew 24:42-44 to be ready for the Lord's return.  We know there is an hour when the Lord will come. But we don't know what that hour will be. Therefore, watch. Be alert. Be ready.  Have you stopped watching?

Pastor Gray exhorts us on agape love with a verse-by-verse walk through 1 Corinthians 13.  Do we do what we do in order to cover up our lack of a personal relationship with Jesus? The apostle Paul addressed this cover up. He stated that we are but a "sounding brass or clanging cymbal" if we don't have love (agape).  Join Pastor as he examines what agape love really is.
