Principles of a Healthy Prophetic Culture

God desires and takes delight when his Church is marked by an active and healthy prophetic culture. But how do we get there? In our second sermon exploring the spiritual gift of prophecy, we look at seven marks of a healthy prophetic culture, followed by a quick "how to" guide before we create space to practice this gift, together.
