Maranatha Community Church (Jozi SA)

Today guest speaker RD Kgatle from one of our network churches in Burgersfort brings us this powerful word - no matter what there is always HOPE!

In the case of emergency press the panic button - what's the panic button? Emergency Prayer! But that's not what prayer is meant to be used for. Let's see how prayer should feature in our day to day lives - and in times of emergency!

The central thought around this message, "some things have to end before better things can happen."

Always remember the past is a place to learn from, not to live in.

Part four of this series handles stepping out of your comfort zone, breaking bad habits, correcting negative attitudes and...pressing the PLAY button! 

This is part 3 in our series on Pressing Buttons - have you been pressing buttons in your life the last 2 weeks? How would you press PAUSE? Enjoy!

Why is Friday so Good? Listen to our Good Friday message, take communion with us & learn more about what His crucifixion means for us today.

Part 2 of this series handles how we allow the wrong mindset to hold us back. If we recognize how our wrong thinking holds us back, if we allow God to be God in our life & hit that 'delete button', we can live in the freedom he offers.

If something is niggling at you, don't ignore it. Because if you continue down that road, you may end up somewhere you don't want to be - that's where today's sermon comes in. Pressing Fast Forward in your life on occasion can help prevent heartache later. Take a few minutes to listen to this message, then consider where you are headed with the roads you are on.

If we're going to live a godly life, we have to make up our minds on what is right and wrong. Culture is shifting...God's Word never changes. Let His Word be your standard.

Does your inner life match your outer life?Are you the same person whether you are in your pajamas or standing before an audience?Today is about being authentic.

In God's Kingdom, the way to greatness is servanthood. This message is a  reminder that it's almost impossible to be selfish when we're serving. 

Our vision is sometimes clouded and not being able to see properly can lead to many mishaps. Obviously we are not referring only to physical sight. Mark helps us today to see what we might not be seeing.

This could be the best year of your life...if it is spiritually. We don't have to have everything go our way for it to be the best year, we just have to make sure we go His way.

Today we kick off a new series focusing on the Word of God - one of the fundamentals of being a believer in Jesus Christ. Come along on the journey with us to dive deeper into this incredible anointed book.

Creating a lifestyle of believing, expecting and living a Godly life. When you have a desire for more of God's favour upon your life, you will deal with the sin and the things that are not right.

One of the keys to experiencing the favour of God lies in our faith - not the size of it, but the size of the One in Whom we have faith - Jesus our Saviour, Who is incomparable.

Entering the new year with Hope is the best gift we can receive. Leonard reminds us today that as God's children we can receive blessing and favour from our Heavenly Father to take with us into 2024! Happy New Year everyone!

Take a look at just some of the lessons we can learn from the Christmas story. Wishing you a blessed Christmas from your Maranatha family.

Have you ever wondered what the anointing is? Who it's for or how to get it? This week we answer all these questions and more! 

​How often do you think God is trying to get your attention? Once a month? Once a year? Once a lifetime?We think He’s constantly trying to get our attention because He wants to be a part of our lives, Listen to find out how.

Most people don't realize how important humility is to God and how much he hates pride. This week we talk about how to STAY humble.

Most of us would say we don't struggle with pride... Until you listen to today's sermon. Pride is something that can destroy you but Humility on the other hand unlocks God's blessings. Let's learn how to identify and deal with pride in our lives, and move closer towards habits of humility.

To put it simply; enabling is doing "good" things for people that is actually bad. This week, Mark gives us tools on how to stop enabling those around us and why this is so important.

The Last few weeks we've been looking at the Power of Prayer - today Leonard brings us the finale, the conclusion, the cherry on the cake. May your prayer life be blessed as never before!

Watch this week's sermon, as we wrap up this incredible series. Here we take a look at the 5th element to The Lord's Prayer - His Protection.

We have been justified by Christ and are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Do you understand what that means? Most of us don't fully - so let's learn and be encouraged together as we see how prayer forms an integral part of both.

We’re busy with a series called The Power of Prayer.We started off looking at the prayer of Jabez and we learnt two veryimportant things – God wants to bless His children, and that we need toask for the blessing. James says, "you have not because you ask not."

Prayer is one of the most powerful and important things we can do on this earth. Amen! But if we really lived like we believed that, wouldn't we pray a lot more!? Be motivated today towards a deeper prayer life.

There are a number of prayers recorded for us in the Bible. Today we are taking a look into Jabez's prayer of blessing.

Let's be honest, some people aren't very lovable. Offences are going to come - it's a part of life. Today we look at how to deal with these offences.

Last week we spoke on Loving God, this week we're focusing on loving PEOPLE...which do you think is more important?

​Do you remember when you first met Jesus? You were so excited about Him and felt so much love for Him. How intense is your love for Him today? If it's any less than it was you are not alone - but we want to ignite that passion again today!

One of the reasons we battle with patience is because it's counter cultural. God wants to develop patience in us. 

The Bible tells us over and over not to fear... and yet we still do! Why? Jonathan helps us to see deeper into this topic and challenges us to rise above fear, and overcome it.

God doesn't call us to be NICE! Mark, that's a strange thing to say! Shouldn't all Christians at the very least be NICE? Perhaps NICE isn't all you thought it was and perhaps there is something better than NICE?! Listen and find out!
