Sermon Shorts Sunday at 614 Church was packed with powerful truth! This video features two short sermons focused on our daily walk with God: finding purpose and cultivating unshakeable joy.

**PART 1: THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD (Halla Zananiri)**
Halla breaks down the significance of the Menorah (Lampstand) in the Tabernacle and its connection to Jesus as the Light of the World, and us as the light of the world. Learn the importance of daily spiritual fueling and cleaning out the "ash" in your life to keep your light shining brightly.

**PART 2: REJOICE ALWAYS (Josh Blankenship)**
Josh shares his personal testimony on finding joy and challenges the idol of entertainment and the search for high-dopamine activities that make our daily lives feel "bland." He explores why our joy must be based on unchangeable truth, even in the midst of suffering, using powerful stories of the Apostles and Corrie Ten Boom.

Following a powerful ministry weekend, David Swart challenges the church to become a prophetic culture church. This message dives deep into 1 Corinthians 14:1-5, defining prophecy and showing why it's accessible to every believer (the "saints"). The purpose of prophecy is clear: upbuilding, encouragement, and consolation (Odomi, Paraclesis, Paramia).

Learn why we should eagerly desire spiritual gifts, how to actively grow in prophecy (hint: it requires risk!), and how to properly steward a word the Lord gives you.

The Bible's clear instruction to "submit to governing authorities" (Romans 13) is one of the most challenging for Christians today. In this powerful sermon, we dive into the context of Rome, Nero, and the early church to understand why God instituted authority, and, more importantly, when a believer must ultimately say NO because of a higher allegiance.

Key Scripture: Romans 13:1-14
