Welcome to The Refinery. The gospel of Matthew presents Jesus is the King of the Jews. It is truly the Gospel of the kingdom. Jesus’ whole Sermon on the Mount is to be seen in this relationship. In the midst of this sermon, our Lord gave his disciples a model prayer, the second petition of which is “Thy kingdom come.” “Thy” calls our attention to the nature of the kingdom, it is the kingdom that belongs to and comes from God. It is to the heavenly father that we pray, “Thy kingdom come.” The kingdom of God is the dynamic reign of God is king. Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God existing in both the present and the future. He affirmed to his disciples, the kingdom of God is within or among you. Whether do you understand the preposition “within" to mean that the Kingdom is present in their hearts or present in the midst in the person of the King of heaven makes little difference. Jesus surely taught that the kingdom of God come to earth in His ministry. He pointed his critics to his miracles as a sign that the kingdom of God was near at hand. But Jesus also spoke of the kingdom of God is something in the future, as the coming kingdom. To which aspect of the kingdom then does this prayer relate? Surely it must include both aspects. Let us see how it might relate to our prayers.

Welcome to The Refinery. The Inward Attitudes of a True Disciple is our theme for the next few Sunday mornings. This series is based on the Beatitudes, found in the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes vividly set forth the inward spiritual characteristics of those who are ideal citizens of the kingdom of God. Only when we are right in our inward attitudes can we be right in our outward conduct. Today we are discussing, The Forgotten Beatitude. We have probably all heard a sermon on the Beatitudes, in fact I generally preach a series on the Beatitudes each year. Did you know there is a Beatitude that Paul preserved for us for later? Ask almost any Christian, even the most careful Bible student, to name the beatitudes of Jesus, and they will name those listed in Matthew 5. Not one in a hundred would name the one given in Acts 20. Thus it is fair to call Acts 20:35 the forgotten Beatitude. Acts 20:35I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” There is no question as to the authenticity of this beatitude. That this is a genuine saying of Jesus there is no doubt. Beyond doubt, this was a current saying of Jesus with which the Ephesian elders were familiar. Moreover, the writer, Luke, who heard Paul’s address to these pastors and preserved it. Also wrote the gospel that bears his name, and his gospel preserves, in slightly varied form, Jesus’ beatitudes. There can be no doubt that Jesus demonstrated this beatitude in His life and ministry and death. Just as surely as He demonstrated meekness, mercy, and purity of heart, so did Jesus demonstrate that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” There can be no fault found with the form in which this beatitude is given. Paul faces his statement of the beatitude with a twofold caution, “Labouring,” he said, “you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” His caution “to remember” is certainly in place for us, for this is the forgotten beatitude. The Beatitudes describe the character traits of a happy Christian, and this one, so often forgotten, is the most joyous of them all. 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!

The Beatitudes vividly set forth the inward spiritual characteristics of those who are ideal citizens of the kingdom of God. Only when we are right in our inward attitudes can we be right in our outward conduct. Today we are discussing, The Children of God. No work is more in imitation of God’s work than that of making peace, for is a “God of peace.” No one is more clearly demonstrated to be a child of God than the peacemaker, the person who by his or her own character, example, and testimony is a reconciling influence in the world. “Blessed are the peacemakers.” How strange these words sound in our world today. For two thousand years people have been honouring these words of Jesus with their lips while their hearts have been far from Him. By our lives, our actions, and our words, we have said, “Blessed are the sowers of discord, the fomenters of strife.” But, to paraphrase, Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they are, they shall be called, they are acting like the children of God.” All of those described in Jesus’ beatitudes are the children of God, for Jesus is describing seven facets of one character. Yet nothing demonstrates more clearly the character of Christ and the nature of God than the effort to make peace. Three observations will set forth the truth of this seventh beatitude. 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.

Welcome to The Refinery. The Inward Attitudes of a True Disciple is our theme for the next few Sunday mornings. This series is based on the Beatitudes, found in the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes vividly set forth the inward spiritual characteristics of those who are ideal citizens of the kingdom of God. Only when we are right in our inward attitudes can we be right in our outward conduct. Today we are discussing, The Hill of the Lord. True religion is more than a matter of having clean hands, it is first of all a matter of a pure heart. True religion is not a matter of deeds or observances or worship at all, except as these outward appearances, which are seen, are a sincere expression of a pure heart within. If the heart is pure in the sense Jesus wants it to be pure, the rest will take care of itself. Mixing our two Scripture passages, we might paraphrase our beatitude this way, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ascend the hill of the Lord, and stand in His holy place, they shall receive the blessing fresh from the Lord Himself.” How complimentary this beatitude is to humankind, “for they shall see God.” Created as humans are, in the image of God, they have the faculty of spiritual sight. They can see God. How beautifully this beatitude expresses the deepest longing of the human heart, “for they shall see God.” The desire to see God, to look upon His face, is a longing as old as man yet as contemporary as physical hunger, Throughout the ages, humans have cried out with Job, Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come to His seat! And the better a person comes to know God, the deeper this yearning becomes. How truly this beatitude tells us our deepest need, “for they shall see God.” The sixth beatitude brings us face to face with the nature and the demands of true religion, which is first of all a matter of the heart, Four questions demand an answer if Jesus’ words are to mean anything to us. 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.

Welcome to The Refinery. The Inward Attitudes of a True Disciple is our theme for the next few Sunday mornings.

The Beatitudes vividly set forth the inward spiritual characteristics of those who are ideal citizens of the kingdom of God. Only when we are right in our inward attitudes can we be right in our outward conduct. Today we are discussing, As I Had Mercy on You. The parable of the unmerciful servant illustrates in reverse the truth of the beatitude “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” To the debtor to whom the king would have forgiven all of his enormous debt, had he in turn been willing to forgive his fellow servant a small sum, the king said, Matthew 18:32-33, Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ “Even as I had pity, or mercy, on you” this is the moral of this parable, and in substance it may be paraphrased like this, “Woe to the unmerciful, for they shall not receive the mercy of God.” This is exactly the opposite of tonight’s beatitude. This is a law of the moral realm that never fails and for which there is no appeal. It is an absolute in the kingdom of God. If God’s mercy is not awakened in our hearts some sense of mercy toward our fellow humans, we should not deceive ourselves by thinking we have received God’s mercy, for we haven’t. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” Three things about this beatitude demand our attention. Each one can be stated in one word. 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.

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The Inward Attitudes of a True Disciple is our theme for the coming Sunday mornings This series is based on the Beatitudes, found in the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. Today we are discussing, Rest Unto Your Souls. As Australians, our heritage has hardly prepared us for this beatitude. Our heritage is one that encourages contempt for what we understand as “the meek” and admiration of the self assertive. One the one hand, we have inherited, through the times, the Roman ideal of greatness in which meekness has no place. On the other hand, we are the heirs of Anglo Saxon self assertiveness and insistence on personal rights and privileges. Under these influences, we have come to admire power, domination, and personal success. Matthew 5:5 NKJV Blessed are the meek, 
For they shall inherit the earth.

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The Inward Attitudes of a True Disciple is our theme for the coming Sunday mornings This series is based on the Beatitudes, found in the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. Today we are discussing, Joy Comes in the Morning. If we have never fully understood all that it means to be a Christian, we have never fully appropriated the full blessedness of the Christian life. Matthew 5:4 NKJV says,Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted. This is a plain statement of simple truth. Blessed is the man in whose heart the “consolation in Christ” has been, is, and ever shall be effective. Blessed is the Christian, even in sorrow, grief, and pain, because for the Christian, God’s comfort is sure. As a child of God, the psalmist of our Scripture today, having passed through he fires of grief, pain, and trial, had found the balm of Gilead sufficient for his soul. His experience was this, Psalm 30:11, You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness. He believed by faith that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Any English translation must miss the picture of the word here rendered “endure.” The figure is “to come in to lodge as a guest.” The psalmist was saying, “weeping may come in to lodge with us in the evening, but joy comes in as a guest in the morning.” This is not a mere promise to a Christian, it is the unfailing result of being a Christian, its the natural consequence of the Christian life.

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The Inward Attitudes of a True Disciple is our theme for the coming Sunday mornings. This series is based on the Beatitudes, found in the beginning of the Sermon on the The person who is truly poor in spirit is blessed because such poverty enables that person to possess the supreme possession of all, “the kingdom of heaven.” Today we are discussing, The Poverty That Possesses. For our sakes, Jesus set the example in 2 Corinthians 8:9, For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. Poverty of spirit is the first character trait Jesus wants in His followers, the subjects of His kingdom. It is a trait that carries its own reward, “theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Note the tenses here carefully, “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” not “have been,” or “ shall be,” but “are.” 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.

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The theme for the coming few Sunday mornings is “God’s Affirmative Action Program.” Today we are talking about God's Affirmative Action Program: The Reality. God’s affirmative action plan became reality when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. At that time the eternal Word took on human flesh and came to dwell among us. From this point on, John no longer calls Him the Word, but lets us in on the secret and gives us His name, Jesus Christ. God took affirmative action toward us. He came into our world through Jesus Christ. What people had hoped for and looked toward had become a reality.

Welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The theme for the coming few Sunday mornings is “God’s Affirmative Action Program.” Today we are talking about God's Affirmative Action Program: The Reason. Governments like to talk about affirmative action programs. They can be programs that see that businesses make right some wrongs, balancing some imbalances, correcting some faults, ultimately, to bring reconciliation. More often than not, these government programs are not so good for the wider population, and really are no more than taking from one group of people to give to another. A redistribution of wealth wrapped up in a government program. God also had an affirmative action program designed to bring reconciliation, proper, true reconciliation between God and man. On these Sundays leading up to Christmas, we will examine God’s affirmative action program as expressed in the beginning of John’s gospel, John 1:1-18. The first matter to consider is the reason for God’s affirmative action program. Why did God need one? Because humans had sinned against their Creator and broken fellowship with Him, God had to make a way for them to come back into right relationship with Him. He showed His love for humankind by initiating a plan to restore them to a position of right standing. Just as we say, “I love you,” with words and action, that is how God communicated His love to us. He sent His Son, the living Word, to earth. John 1:1 NKJV 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
