    The Secret to Finding Abundant Life // Jackie Pullinger

    614 Conference Sunday Special Episode! In this moving and convicting message, legendary missionary Jackie Pullinger shares her heart on what it truly means to follow Jesus into the darkest corners of society. Drawing from her decades of experience in Hong Kong’s Walled City, Jackie challenges the Church to move beyond comfortable ministry and embrace the "lurching disasters" of the world. In this message, Jackie discusses: - The Mandate of the Poor: Why ministry to the marginalized isn't an "optional extra" but the heart of the Gospel. - The Concept of Kenosis: How Jesus emptied Himself, and why our own "emptiness" is actually the doorway to God’s abundance. - Handling Disappointment: Encouragement for those who have been "burnt" by ministry and how to find the grace to go again. - Spiritual Gifts: The practical necessity of the Holy Spirit's power when our own resources run dry. Jackie reminds us that we don't have to go to Hong Kong to find the lost—we simply need to start where we are, waste our "perfume" on the one in front of us, and trust that God will bring the harvest.

    Stop Giving God Your Leftovers // Danny Batarseh

    Is Jesus worthy of everything in your life, or is He not worthy at all? In this continuing study of Genesis, Danny explores the familiar but challenging story of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1-16). He unpacks a crucial question: Why did God accept Abel's offering but reject Cain's? This sermon reveals that God’s preference was not about meat vs. vegetables. It was about the heart behind the gift. Abel gave his "first and finest"—a move of complete faith—while Cain merely offered "some"—an act of convenient ritual. Danny challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we offering God our best "first fruits," or just our leftovers? We explore what it means to be a "living sacrifice" in today's world and the danger of letting resentment and comparison "crouch at the door" of our hearts.

    The Power of the Table: Redefining Church Planting with Chris Wienand

    This is a special episode from 614 Conference that features a conversation between David Swart and Chris Wienand. We hope you enjoy this and are stirred to ask the Lord how you are meant to GO! +++++ Is church planting only for the "spiritual elite," or is it the natural calling of every healthy Jesus community? In this session, David Swart sits down with Chris Wienand (Genesis Collective) to discuss the raw, honest, and surprisingly simple reality of starting new churches. Chris shares his "accidental" journey from the Jesus Movement in South Africa to planting a thriving, millennial-led community in Costa Mesa, California, at age 57. Key highlights in this conversation: The "Table" over the "Stage": Why a dining room table is often more effective than a high-budget school hall.The Call to Multiply: Moving beyond just growing a local church to filling the earth with Jesus communities.Apprenticeship: Why church planting isn't a manual you buy, but a life you share through honest, loving "boot camp" leadership.Radical Faith: A miraculous story of how a small community of baristas and students raised over $100,000 in a single offering to give it all away.Whether you feel a stir to lead something new or simply want to understand God's heart for multiplication, this talk will ruffle your feathers and ignite your faith for the "great global gospel adventure." A Note on the Theology of the "Table" Chris references the early church model found in Acts 2:42-47. This lifestyle of "breaking bread from house to house" is the foundation of what he calls a Jesus Community. Instead of starting with complex programs (children's ministry, worship bands, etc.), Chris advocates for building trust, storytelling, and shared life first. As he notes, "Where there is life, there is growth."

    Biblical Reasons You Need This Conference // David Swart

    Are you ready for a "software update" from the Holy Spirit? In this special service, Pastor David explores the biblical roots of "Holy Convocations" from Leviticus 23 and why setting aside dedicated time for God—through conferences and fasting—can permanently alter the trajectory of your life. We also hear a breathtaking testimony from Coral Jones, whose "yes" at a previous conference led to a miraculous series of events involving a specific man-made island in South Korea and a nine-minute connection seven years in the making.

    Did God Really Say? The Lie That Changed Everything // Aaron Stephens

    The fall of humanity didn’t begin with rebellion—it began with a question. In Genesis 3, we see how the serpent’s subtle deception fractured humanity’s relationship with God, with each other, and with creation itself. This message walks through the tactics of the enemy, the responsibility of obedience, the danger of silence, and the lies we tell ourselves that still shape our lives today. But the story doesn’t end with shame, hiding, or exile. Right in the middle of the fall, God plants a promise—the first glimpse of the gospel. From Eden to the cross to the resurrection, this message traces how Jesus crushes the serpent’s head and restores what was lost. If you’ve ever wrestled with temptation, shame, distance from God, or the feeling that “something isn’t working,” this message is for you.

    The Design for Living: Genesis 2 Explained // David Swart

    Are you trying to build your life without a guide? In this message, we dive into Genesis 2 to look at the "Millennium Falcon" picture of God's original design. Before the world got complicated, God established a clear roadmap for our work, our relationships, and our identity. Whether you're feeling isolated, stuck in your career, or navigating the complexities of modern dating and marriage, this sermon offers a refreshing look at what it means to "work it and keep it" in the image of God. 📌 Key Takeaway: You weren't made for isolation or idleness; you were designed for purposeful work and deep community.

    The Blueprint of Being: Purpose, Image, and the Good Life // David Swart

    In this foundational message, David Swart dives into Genesis 1 to move beyond the typical "science vs. faith" debate and uncover the profound "Why" behind our existence. He explores the Hebrew concept of Tove (Good), revealing that God’s creation isn't just aesthetically pleasing, but perfectly ordered for human flourishing. By unpacking the Imago Dei (Image of God) and the original mandate to subdue and rule, Swart challenges us to see our work, relationships, and identity through the lens of God's royal representation. The sermon concludes by linking the original mandate of Genesis to the Great Commission of Matthew, calling us to be renewed image-bearers who fill the world with the presence of Jesus.

    Beyond History: Seeing Jesus in the Genesis of Everything // David Swart

    Why does the Old Testament often feel like a disconnected moral history book? In this powerful series opener, David Schwartz explores how the entire biblical narrative—starting from the very first verses of Genesis—is fundamentally about the person of Jesus Christ. By understanding God as the uncreated Creator who exists above time yet chooses to step into our chaos, we discover a Savior who doesn’t just offer life coaching, but a total heart transplant.
