Prophecy Series #1 | Recovering the Biblical Vision

Prophecy, of all the spiritual gifts, has been one of the most contended for against throughout the church’s history. The modern landscape is confusing, with some claiming incredible supernatural revelation, prophetic office, and remarkable gifts, while movements are tainted with moral failure, deception and falsehood. But is the counterreaction appropriate? Should all prophecy be dismissed because of these public examples? Join us for this four-week series in prophecy as Pastor Sandy teaches into the gift, helping us recover the biblical vision for the gift of prophecy. This week, we explore the breadth of prophetic activity in the Old Testament, which shows that most of modern Christianity has only a caricature of prophecy from the Old Testament. Pastor Sandy teaches from the story of Mary and Martha, touching on the things that distract us from sitting at the feet of Jesus. Our attention is one of the primary tools we have to connect to God, and letting our attention be captured by anything against our will leads us not only into addiction, but spiritual numbness. || Scriptures || 1 Corinthians 14:1-5 1 Samuel 10 2 Peter 1:21 Matthew 3:7-10 1 Chronicles 12:18 1 Samuel 9:9 Numbers 12:6-8 2 Chronicles 29:30 1 Chronicles 25:1 1 Corinthians 12:29 Kenmore Church is a campus of the Westside Church Network - a vibrant network of churches in Western Brisbane helping the lost get found and found people grow.
