Refinery Life Radio Gary Hoban

Welcome to The Refinery.



Today we are discussing, What Apostles Do?

Firstly Apostles are called by God 



1 Corinthians 1:1 

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,



Apostles are recognised by the church.



Acts 6:3 

Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;



And Apostles are sent out by the church.



Acts 13:3

Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.



Acts 15:22

Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.



Apostles are a servant ministry to the local church and are given an office by the Lord and an anointing to fulfil the role.



If an ‘apostle’ comes without these credentials and attitude of service, reject them.  



Test the spirit and fruit of the apostle, there is safety in the body to discern if they sent by the Lord (church) or came by themselves.









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

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia.

The Master’s recipe for Effective Praying has been the theme for the last few Sunday’s and is a study of the petitions found in the Lord’s prayer.

Today we are discussing, Deliver Us from Evil.

Seven is the number for completeness in the Bible.

It is of special interest that the Master of prayer gave us just seven petitions in the Model Prayer,

This could indicate that he felt that the seven petitions covered every need that people might bring to God.

“Deliver us from evil” is the last of the petitions.

It voices a cry that comes from the heart of the children of God as they live on this world.

It is a cry expressing great urgency.

Surely it is appropriate as we assemble for worship in the midst of a troubled world.

Consider with me today some important implications set forth by this simple petition.

And let us recognise the urgent need for us to be taking this petition to our heavenly Father daily.

Until next time

Stay in the Blessings

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia.

The Master’s recipe for Effective Praying is the theme for the next few Sunday’s and is a study of the petitions found in the Lord’s prayer.

Today we are discussing, Lead Us Not Into Temptation.

The battle with temptation is a continuing battle in all of life and is what prompted our petition for today “Lead us not into temptation.”

Doubtlessly, the Teacher intended for each of these petitions to be repeated daily.

Even one day of relaxation during the battle with temptation can be spiritually fatal.

While Jesus did not experience the need voiced in the second of the petitions, “forgive us,” He did experience this one.

That is, since He never said come to any temptation, He never had to request forgiveness.

You may question whether Jesus really knew the power of temptation.

The truth is that only the person who ever knows the full power of temptation is the person who resists it.

Jesus knew more about the power of temptation than any of us.

This petition lends it self to deeper meditation.



Until next time

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia.



The Master’s recipe for Effective Praying is the theme for the next few Sunday's and is a study of the petitions found in the Lord’s prayer.



Today we are discussing, Forgive Us Our Debts.



Jesus instructs us to make all our needs a matter of prayer.



The needs of our body are to be a matter of prayer, which is why we pray, “Give is this day our daily bread.”



But we are also to pray about the needs of our mind.



A part of the human soul is the conscience. 



God placed within us a little voice that protests when we violate our sense of right and wrong.



What do you do when you feel guilty?



You should pray.



You should not carry guilt through even one day.



You should pray, “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.”



The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer for disciples.



Some mistakingly teach that once you become a Christian, you never need to confess or seek forgiveness again.



But Jesus taught His disciples to pray this prayer daily.



Until next time

Welcome to The Refinery.

The Master’s recipe for Effective Praying is the theme for the next few Sunday's and is a study of the petitions found in the Lord’s prayer.

Today we are discussing, Our Daily Bread.

Prayer begins with God ward concerns, but it does not end there.

The first three petitions of the Lord's Prayer make petitions for the name, Kingdom, and the will of God.

These must be the first concerns in our prayer life.

But then Jesus gave us four petitions to cover our personal needs.

The last four petitions are inclusive.

Give us this day our daily bread touches on the needs of the body.

Forgive us our debts includes the needs of the soul.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil speak to the spiritual needs of the person.

This reminds us that we can take whatever concerns us to the Heavenly Father in prayer.

Give us our daily bread would seem to be a simple statement of need, yet many different interpretations of been set forth.

Some have drawn back from thinking of it as a simple request for daily bread.

They've changed it to mean Spiritual Bread from the Word of God or Christ, the Bread of Life, and some have even referred to it as the Bread of the Lord's Table.

There is no need for such spiritualisation of the request.

Our God is just as concerned that the basic necessities of life be supplied as He is that we have spiritual bread for the spirit.

Our God is concerned about the total person.

What can we learn here?

Until next time

Welcome to The Refinery.

The theme for the coming Sunday mornings is The Master’s Recipe for effective Praying.

Today we are talking about Thy Will Be Done.


“It is God’s will.”

These words are often used to interpret the tragedies of life.

In legal language, “an act of God” is used to explain the great catastrophes that bring so much suffering and ruin.

Yet Jesus instructed us to pray, “Thy will be done.”

Does that mean that we are praying for catastrophes and tragedies to fall upon us?

Such tragic events are not what we find associated with God’s will in the Bible.

God wills to create a world, to create humans, to send His Son, to redeem humans.

These things are an expression of God’s eternal purpose and will be accomplished, so there is really no need for us to pray for the accomplishment of them.

But God’s will also includes His commands and His plan for our day to day lives.

Thus we need to pray that His will might be done in our lives and in the lives of others.

The concern of this particular petition is how we are to do God’s will.

Since His will is to be done “on earth as it is in heaven,” we are to look to heaven for our pattern of response.

Even though we do not know as much about heaven as we would like to know, we do know enough to give us some helpful instructions at this point.

Until next time
