MARANATHA CHURCH

Not everyone who looks like a follower of Jesus truly belongs to Him. In this message, we explore Jesus’ warning about false prophets, how to discern good fruit from bad, and why the roots of your life always show in the fruit you bear.

Jesus says there are only two paths: one is wide, easy, and packed with people… but it ends in destruction. The other is narrow, costly, and unpopular… but it leads to life. Don’t just assume you’re on the right one, examine your heart and see which road you’re really walking.

Ask. Seek. Knock. Not to unlock blessings, but to know the heart of the Father. Matthew 7:7–11 reveals the God who wants to be found.

King Josiah tore down every idol so the Lord could dwell among His people. What idols are still standing in your life? This message calls us to personal holiness, deep repentance, and becoming a resting place for the Lord.

“Don’t judge me” isn’t a Bible verse; it’s a cultural cop-out. Jesus didn’t say Don’t judge, He said Examine and repent first, then help with humility. Judgment isn’t forbidden; it’s refined by grace, not fueled by pride.

Anxiousness won’t fix your future, but it will sabotage today. However, trusting in God's character will change your perspective. Jesus didn’t suggest peace; He commanded it and provided it. Here’s how to stop spiraling and start seeking the Kingdom.

What we treasure shapes who we become. In this sermon on Matthew 6:19–24, we look into the mirror Jesus holds up, revealing where our heart truly lies, what vision guides our life, and which master we really serve. Are you living for what fades or for what lasts? Discover the invitation to eternal treasure, clear spiritual vision, and undivided loyalty to the only Master who gave everything for yo...

Temptation isn’t just a crisis moment; it’s a daily reality. In this message on Matthew 6:13, we explore how Jesus taught us to pray for spiritual protection, acknowledge our weakness, and lean on God's strength. Learn how to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy and walk in the victory Christ has already won.

“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” It sounds simple, but this is one of the most sobering lines Jesus ever gave us. In this sermon, discover why unforgiveness can poison your soul, how grace frees us, and why forgiving others is not optional for followers of Christ. This isn’t just a prayer, it’s a heart check.

In Matthew 6:11, Jesus teaches us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” But this prayer is about more than food; it’s about dependence. In this message, discover why yesterday’s encounter, provision, or revelation isn’t enough to sustain today’s soul. Learn how God offers fresh mercy, fresh strength, and the Bread of Life, Christ Himself, every single day.

In Acts 2, wind rushed, fire fell, and the Church was born. But Pentecost isn’t just a moment in the past, it’s a model for today. In this sermon, we explore what happened to, in, and through the apostles—and what must now happen in us. Get ready for a fresh encounter with the Spirit of God.

What if prayer wasn’t just about getting into heaven, but bringing heaven to earth? In this message on Matthew 6:10, we explore how Jesus calls us to pray for God’s reign to break into our world, starting with our lives. This is more than a line in a prayer. It’s a surrender. It’s a revolution. It’s the heartbeat of heaven.

Prayer doesn’t start with requests—it starts with reverence. In Matthew 6:9, Jesus teaches us to begin prayer not with our needs, but with worship: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” This sermon explores what it means to honor God’s name and approach Him as Father—with awe, love, and trust.

God's reward—or people's approval? Jesus warns us that it's possible to look spiritual while missing the heart of true righteousness. In Matthew 6:1–18, He calls us to a secret life with God—where giving, praying, and fasting aren’t performances, but acts of genuine devotion.

What does it really mean to love those who hurt you, hate you, or oppose you? In Matthew 5:43–48, Jesus calls us to a kind of love that breaks the cycle of revenge and reflects the heart of God Himself. This message will challenge your instincts, confront your comfort, and invite you into the radical life of the Kingdom.

What if justice wasn’t about getting even—but giving more? In this episode, we explore Jesus’ shocking command to turn the other cheek, walk the extra mile, and give without limits. This isn’t passive weakness—it’s kingdom strength. Discover how Jesus redefines retaliation through love that disarms evil.

In Matthew 5:33–37, Jesus speaks about honesty — a passage we often breeze past, assuming we’re doing just fine. But if we really listen, His words dig far deeper than we expect. This text uncovers how even our 'small' half-truths and casual promises reveal a deeper heart issue — and invites us into the radical, freeing honesty of the Kingdom.

In this Easter Sermon, we break down Matthew 7:24-27 and wrestle with the hard question of “What foundation am I really building my life on?”

In this sermon, we choose to slow down and feel the weight of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, and then are challenged to adjust our lives according to His sacrifice.

In this sermon, we break down Jesus’ second saying, “I say to you” regarding anger.

In this message, we wrestle with Jesus’ demands for radical righteousness in Matthew 5:17-20. His announcement that He fulfilled the Law and the Prophets was the most relieving statement for the people in that day and for us in 2025.

In this message, we break down Matthew 5:13-16 and how, as Christians, we are meant to preserve & bring light. However, many factors can get in the way of our effectiveness in this world.
