What is God going to do next? God is drawing more people closer to Him, as millions around the world are searching, sharing scripture, praying, and exploring biblical truths together. Because so many around the world are searching for hope, this may be one of the greatest opportunities to make a difference today, and in eternity.
"Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.
- Matthew 24:33 (NIV)
People of the Spirit are full of the Spirit. When we're filled with the Holy Spirit, we operate out of the fruits of the spirit. "But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." - Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)
People of the Spirit are full of the Word. "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." - John 16:13 (NIV)
You need to stay filled with the Holy Spirit so you stay in love with Jesus and the Bible.
People of the Spirit full of love. “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” -John 13:33-35 (NIV)
People of the Spirit are full of power. "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." - 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NIV)
It’s too dangerous today to live as a Christian without being filled with the a Holy Spirit.

7 Ways the Church Can Get Ready for the Rapture
September 13, 2020 • Pastor Denny Curran
We can turn to God‘s Word to find safety, security, peace, and direction. In today's message, Pastor Denny closes our current series, "What Kind of People," with advice on how we can prepare for the Rapture. 7 Ways the Church can get Ready for the Rapture: 1.) Return to your First Love (Ephesus) "Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place." - Revelation 2:4-5 (NIV) 2.) Remain Faithful (Smyrna) "I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown." -Revelation 2:9-10 (NIV) 3. ) Resist Compromise (Pergamum) "Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality." - Revelation 2:14 (NIV) 4.) Repent of Sin (Thyatira) "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first." Revelation 2:18-22 (NIV) 5.) Refuse Hypocrisy (Sardis) "To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits[b] of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God." - Revelation 3:1-2 (NIV) 6.) Respect the Bible (Philadelphia) "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name." - Revelation 3:8 (NIV) 7.) . Radically Follow Jesus (Laodicea) "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see." -Revelation 3:15-18 (NIV)
