  • Becoming a Christian

    Becoming a Christian
    2025/06/08

    Hey everyone and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.


    “The Christ of John’s Gospel” has been our theme for the past couple of months teachings with a focus on John’s unique portrayal of the Christ.


    Today we are talking about Becoming a Christian.


    Do you desire to be a better Christian?


    Most Christians sincerely want to be better.


    But how do we become a better Christian?


    Some people say that reading the Bible or other Christian books will make you a good Christian.


    Other people say that doing a lot of good works will make you a better Christian.


    Actually, we don’t begin the Christian life in faith and continue it ,]merely through faithful study and good works.


    Genuine faith results in faithful study and good works.


    Jesus used the illustration of the vine and the branches to describe the Christian life.


    Jesus referred to Himself and the Vine and to His followers as the branches.


    Using this analogy, we can learn more about the Christian life.


    God wants to enter your life and abide within you through the person of the Holy Spirit.


    If you allow Him, He will abide in your heart and make your life meaningful.


    Until next time


    Stay in the Blessings


    I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.


    When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.

    Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!


    You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.


    When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.


    So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us at www.refinerylife.org

  • The Helmet of salvation

    The Helmet of salvation
    2025/06/03

    Welcome to The Refinery.The helmet of salvation. To go onto maturity in the character of the Lord and move forward into the destiny God has prepared for you we need to wear spiritual armor, the helmet of salvation is one of these items. The head is very vulnerable in the natural and it is the same in the spiritual context. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6 about the armour of God, there is a helmet – the helmet of salvation. This helmet is a covering, and it provides protection for the mind. Ps Amanda wants to encourage you to put the helmet on.Until next time

  • The Promise of The Holy Spirit.

    The Promise of The Holy Spirit.
    2025/06/01
    Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.“The Christ of John’s Gospel” has been our theme for the past couple of months teachings with a focus on John’s unique portrayal of the Christ.Today we are talking about The Promise of The Holy Spirit.Saying goodbye can be difficult.People struggle with the words when a friend or family member will be going away for a long period of time.Likewise, the disciples had a hard time saying farewell to the Master.Jesus had prepared them for the fact of His death, but they were not willing to accept this reality.The closer the time came for Jesus’ departure, the more they recognised the reality.The Lord and His disciples had a difficult time leaving each other.Jesus told the disciples that His departure would be only for a short time. John 14:19, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.Jesus promised that He would be with His disciples in the power and presence of His Spirit.In other words, Jesus Himself would be present with His disciples in another manner.Maybe believers need to examine the promise Jesus gave to His disciples about the Holy Spirit.We need not be discouraged because the physical presence of Jesus is not with us.He is present in the Holy Spirit.We need to understand this and celebrate His presence!Until next timeStay in the BlessingsI really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!

  • Going in the right direction.

    Going in the right direction.
    2025/05/11

    Hey everyone and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.


    Today we continue our series titled The Christ of John's Gospel.


    In times like these, we are in need of God’s guidance more than ever.


    Today we are talking about Going in the right direction.


    Driving down a one way street in the wrong direction is a frustrating experience.

    It seems to happen to me on a regular basis depending what country I am in.

    And every time I am met with irritated drivers as I try and turn around which adds to my misery and embarrassment.

    Now I carefully note each turn to ensure I go in the right direction.

    Jesus talked about the direction of His life.

    It involved a cross.

    Yet He taught the disciples that the cross was the way of life for the world.

    Thomas was not so sure he knew the right direction, so he asked in John 14:5, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

    And we all know Jesus’ response, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

    Going the right direction through life is important.

    It is a joyful experience.

    Let’s learn the instructions for how to travel the right direction in life.


    Until next time

    Stay in the Blessings


    I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.

    When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.

    Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!

    You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.

    2025/04/13

    Welcome to The Refinery.Satanic opposition is a reality Gods children face in this fallen world, but the Lord has given us spiritual armor for our protection. This is very important and relevant for right now in 2025.We are looking at the world that we find ourselves in and are acutely aware of the spiritual battle that rages, the battle between the good and evil, light and darkness. The spiritual forces of darkness are on assignment to kill, steal and destroy the hopes, dreams and destiny’s of Gods children, and while all of this plays out we can be prepared and stand in the whole armor of God. Let us be prepared and put on our shoes.

  • The Eleventh Commandment.

    The Eleventh Commandment.
    2025/03/30
    Welcome to Refinery Life Australia.“The Christ of John’s Gospel” has been our theme for the past couple of months teachings with a focus on John’s unique portrayal of the Christ.We will continue this series for a little while longer while God is holding us here.Today we are discussing, The Eleventh Commandment.Charles Templeton, wrote that the history of the world has been affected by two events that took place in two small rooms, separated by thousands of miles and thousands of years.One of these rooms was a dodgy flat in the Soho district of London.In this small room, Karl Marx wrote Das capital, a book that changed the face of communism.And is a direct opposition to what we as Christians believe.The other room was in Jerusalem. It was the place where Jesus ate the Passover with His disciples and have them some meaningful instructions.Just as Jesus was about to go to the cross, He bequeathed His disciples a badge they would need to wear.It would be a sign that they were in fact His disciples.John 13:34-35, A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”Jesus called His exhortation to love a “new command.”We could label it the “eleventh commandment.”This morning lets look at the various facets of this command.The world desperately needs love, but the only way they can know true love is by watching Christian live in action.Will we obey the eleventh commandment?Will we love one another?Until next timeStay in the BlessingsI really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!

  • Salvation Belongs to our God

    Salvation Belongs to our God
    2025/03/25

    Welcome to The Refinery


    Pastor Amanda brings us a reminder that Salvation Belongs to Our God.


    Let us pay attention and read the time.

    While many are walking with their head in the sand, in oblivion and not giving the future, the eternal future a second thought, we are preparing ourselves as the Bride, we are preparing for the great harvest, we are praying for the lost to come in and we are taking steps to train and equip anyone with ears to hear that the day of the Lord is at hand.


    There is a crisis going on in this world, people are confused, people are deceived, and people are divided, in so many ways.


    The Day of the Lord is at Hand, and salvation belongs to Our God.


    Be encouraged to get ready for the Lords return.


    Until next time


    Stay in the Blessings


    I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.


    When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.

    Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!


    You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.


    When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.
