Sermon: June 29th, 2025 | Bryan Vaughn | Strengthen, Encourage, Comfort: The Heart of Prophecy

In this message, Bryan explores the gift of prophecy through the lens of 1 Corinthians 14 and the broader biblical narrative. He begins with a simple but profound question: When was the last time you heard God speak? From Genesis to the early church in Acts, Bryan traces how God's Spirit has always been present and active—speaking, guiding, and empowering His people. He unpacks what New Testament prophecy really is: Spirit-prompted encouragement, strengthening, and comfort for others. Emphasizing humility, love, and discernment, Bryan challenges the church to make space for God's voice—through Scripture, through the Spirit, and through one another—and to pursue the gifts of the Spirit with eager expectation and grounded wisdom.
