The heartbeat and mission of Hosanna Chapel  is that you will come to: know Jesus Grow in your relationship with Jesus Show the love of Jesus Go out and share Jesus Know: We acknowledge that the only way to God is through a right relationship with Jesus Christ. Everything we do as a church family is out of a desire to honor the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit, so that everyone may know the gospel of Jesus Christ.   Grow: Because it is our desire that you cultivate a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ, and grow in your relationship with Him, we teach through the Bible, verse-by verse, chapter-by-chapter, book-by-book (Acts 20:27). Why? If every word of God is pure and true (Psalm 12:6;19:9;119:140), then every word deserves to be examined and understood. We believe that every verse is God inspired, inerrant, infallible and is important for all areas of our lives (2 Tim 3:16). We teach the Bible emphasizing an eternal viewpoint and not just as a pursuit of knowledge. We seek to grow in our relationship with God as we read, study and understand His word through the power of the Holy Spirit. Show: Jesus had compassion on the multitude and hungry (Mark 8:2-3, Matt 16:32). Antelope Valley is saturated with unbelievers who are hungry spiritually and physically. It is an awesome opportunity to show the love of Jesus. The harvest in Antelope Valley is plentiful, but “the laborers are few.” We are praying “the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into the harvest” (Luke 10:1-2). Go: We have a passion to Evangelize the Lost — To passionately share the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to bring glory to God and establish worshipers in His church locally and globally (Acts 1:8). It's our conviction we must learn to live now with the perspective that will be ours one minute after we die. As there will be no second chance for the unbeliever to go back and live his life over again, this time accepting Christ, so there will be no second chance for the believer to go back and live his life over again, this time serving Christ. Now is our window of opportunity.  Now is our chance to follow Christ, speak the truth and reach out to the needy in love. Now is our chance to invest our lives in eternity. ...read more

Oh I love dads! Watching the woman they love go through labor brings out every strength and weakness, every ounce of confidence and fear, every perfect affection and wrong touch, every security of a man and confusion of a little boy. They are supposed to be there for their wife, but who is there for them? Who will remind him how to remind her how to breathe? Who will give him the thumbs up saying its normal for her to try and break his fingers? Who will make sure he eats so he doesn't become the patient? Who will give him the freedom to enjoy and experience the beauty of the birth of his baby by bolstering his confidence, answering the unasked questions, and all the while, making him look good to her? People tend to assume a doula is there for the mom more than the dad, but I believe a doula is equally there for both. I'm a very hands on doula, giving as much physical and emotional support to mom as she desires, but my greatest "doula trick" is dad. They have never let me down, or let mom down. They deserve the same labor and delivery support as mom, just in a different way. ...read more
