There is no greater joy than witnessing lives transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ and hearing believers publicly declare their faith in Him. Baptism is a powerful testimony of God's redeeming love and a celebration for the entire church family!

Maranatha also welcomed 5 new members and we are overjoyed to see how God will use each of these new members' gifts and talents for God's glory here at Maranatha!

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17

The Gospel Resurrection | 1 Corinthians 15 | Why the Resurrection Changes Everything
Can Christianity stand if Jesus didn't rise from the dead?
In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 15, we examine the central claim of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again according to the Scriptures. The resurrection isn't just one doctrine among many—it is the very foundation of the Gospel and the believer's hope.
Join us as we walk verse-by-verse through one of the most significant chapters in the Bible, exploring why the resurrection is the defining event of human history and why it matters for every person today.
In this message you'll discover:
• Why the Gospel is truly "Good News"
• The biblical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ
• Why the resurrection proves Jesus is God
• What happens if Christ has not been raised
• The hope of eternal life and the believer's future resurrection
• How the resurrection transforms the way Christians live today
Paul reminds us that if Christ has not been raised, our faith is futile. But because Christ is risen, sin has been defeated, death has lost its sting, and all who trust in Him have the promise of eternal life.
"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." — 1 Corinthians 15:58
Whether you are exploring Christianity, wrestling with questions about the resurrection, or seeking encouragement in your faith, this sermon points us back to the hope found only in Jesus Christ.
