One of the most extraordinary things about the early church was what Pastor Dan is talking about today—the radical and sacrificial love the people had for each other. The Spirit was working in their hearts and minds to create the unity of believers, and people saw the pain and the need of the others. Not only that, they allowed the Spirit to move them to do something about it. Ask the Spirit to move in your heart today as he did in the early church. Ask him to move you into greater compassion.

Pastor Dan is digging into the work of the Spirit in the individual and in the church today. And when you look at the early church you will see that the Spirit of God filling the disciples made them bold to declare the good news. When they were in the upper room they weren't busy having a pep rally to get everyone's gumption up to go share the news. They were being filled with the Spirit and the boldness flowed out of them like fountains of living water. Soak up the Spirit today, and become bold for God!

Do you ever look at the instructions in the Bible and feel like you'll never measure up? Maybe you're the husband with a drive to succeed but you keep forgetting to give up your life for your wife. Maybe you're a kid trying to honor your parents but you've got a temper! Pastor Dan has some really great news for you today. Because you can't make the holy life happen on your own, God has given you his Spirit to help you. You can, when you are filled with the Spirit, grow to be more like Christ.

It is only by the Spirit of God that we are being made perfect. He is working in us to create the fruit of the Spirit. We can't manufacture any of the fruits on our own. We can't be more patient, more loving, and more joyful, without the Spirit at work within us! Pastor Dan is going to talk about the work of the Spirit today. Do you want to become more like Jesus? There's only one way, and it's not by trying harder. Let go of the reigns today and let the Spirit of God do his perfecting work in your life!

The Father promised to send the Spirit and Peter said on Pentecost that the promise is for all who are far off, and that means you. The Father has promised you the Spirit. You have the greatest secret weapon in the war against the enemy. When he comes against you with lies and accusations, the Spirit of God is within you declaring the truth. He is there to tell you that you are covered in the blood of the lamb and there is no condemnation. Join Pastor Dan today to hear more about your secret weapon!

When people talk about living life in the Spirit, do you automatically think of those super-spiritual people who spend hours praying and reading the Bible? Maybe you picture the people who stand on the stage, leading worship or preaching. It may feel like your life doesn't have anything that requires the Spirit, but Pastor Dan tells us today that that's not so! The smallest task can be and needs to be done in the power of the Spirit. Invite him every day and watch how your life changes!

Pastor Dan is working through the book of Joel, where it says that the Spirit of God will be poured out on all flesh. Can you imagine the joy in heaven as the Spirit is sent out? God is looking at you and saying, “I'm not going to leave you alone like an orphan. I'm going to send my Spirit!” You will never be alone again. You have a constant companion who is there to comfort, guide, and teach you. In your loneliest moments, you can hold onto the promise of God's Spirit and know you aren't alone.

Have you royally messed up your life? Did rebellion and wild behavior seem like a good idea at the time, but now you're seeing the devastating effects? Pastor Dan is going to show you today that God isn't waiting for you with a switch in the back shed. He is waiting for you with healing and restoration in his wide-open arms. Turn toward him and take one step, and watch him come running down the road to meet you. Let him bring his healing and restoration to meet you in your brokenness.

It can be frightening to look at all of the horrible things the bible says are going to happen in the time known as, “the great and terrible Day of The Lord.” But, we shouldn't forget what it says about God's character, about His grace and His mercy. Pastor Dan reminds us in today's message about the goodness of God. About His desire for us to turn to Him with all our hearts, because of His mercy and His grace. The Bible says that God is willing that none should perish but that all should come to repentance.

In today's society, things are not always what they appear to be. It's easy for people to present an image of themselves that is completely different from who they actually are. But we know that God sees who we truly are on the inside and that's what He cares about most. In today's message, Pastor Dan show's how important it is for us to have a humble heart before God. He is not fooled by or impressed with whatever show we can put on outwardly, but it's what's on the inside that He is looking for.
