welcome to Refinery Life Church. The Lord’s Prayer. Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” In every congregation there is at least one person with a broken heart. One function of the Pastor, the Shepherd is to help bind up the broken hearted. The theme for our Tuesday evenings this month is “Is There Any Good News For Those Who Suffer?” Today’s message is titled Is There a Connection between Sin and Suffering? When disaster struck the house of Job, his friends came at greta trouble and inconvenience to comfort and counsel him. Job’s friends held to the traditional thoughts of their day, which in many respects are still the thoughts of our day. They believed that God always rewards righteousness. They believed that God always punishes wickedness. They perceived that righteousness always pays off with peace, prosperity, popularity, plenty, and permanence. Job’s friends saw God as a judge. They understood Him somewhat in terms of His being a prosecuting attorney or a policeman. They believed God to be an executioner. They believed that God’s law was self operating and self executing, and that if you found yourself in great pain and suffering, it was proof that you were a great sinner. The writer of the book of Job challenges all of our simple solutions to the complex questions that plague us when we are faced with pain and trouble. The easy answer is usually the incorrect answer. While recognising that sin ultimately results in suffering, when you study the book of Job, you cannot help but conclude that not all suffering is the direct result of sin. Job is an excellent example of this truth. Until next time Stay in the Blessings 2023 IS A YEAR OF DIVINE RESTORATION AND RECOVERY

welcome to Refinery Life Church. In every congregation there is at least one person with a broken heart. One function of the Pastor, the Shepherd is to help bind up the broken hearted. The theme for our Tuesday evenings this month is “Is There Any Good News For Those Who Suffer?” Today’s message is titled How Do You Face Trouble? Is there any good news for those who suffer? In times when trouble strikes, we need to take inventory to see if there is any good news that can cheer our hearts and help us bear the burden of pain. Trouble and suffering are facts of life that all of us must cope with sooner or later. An incurable disease may afflict someone we love or even us personally. A financial disaster may wipe us out financially. A domestic tragedy may tear apart our home. Fatal accidents occur on life’s highways, and there are dead end streets where all hopeful expectations are brought to a stop. How should Christians cope with suffering and trouble? When trouble comes, some people turn to religion, hoping it will deepen and strengthen their faith. Others turn away from religion in disappointment and despair. Still others turn against religion in hate and cynicism. How do people cope with pain and trouble? Some yell and scream and swear. Some develop a headache and take a Panadol. Some drink or take drugs that enable them to escape the pain of reality temporarily. Some pray and trust God. What will you do when trouble comes? Will you turn to God? Will you turn against God? Let’s take a look at Job, the ultimate example of a man who struggled with suffering in the times before Christ.

Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Church. In every congregation there is at least one person with a broken heart. One function of the Pastor, the Shepherd is to help bind up the broken hearted. The theme for our Tuesday evenings this month is “Is There Any Good News For Those Who Suffer?” Today’s message is titled The Management of Pain. From cradle to grave, we spend much of our existence trying to avoid pain. If you watch television commercials, you have probably noticed that many offer advice about how to manage pain. Such solutions are temporary. Some peel try to escape pain through drugs and alcohol, but they find that their pain increases instead of disappearing. Still others stoically just “grin and bear” their pain. How do you manage pain?

Our theme for the month of February is “The New Life That Is Possible Through Christ.” Today we are talking about Where is Jesus? Todays church desperately needs new life. The hope of the church is Christ Himself. The basic question is, Where is Jesus? The answer to this question enables us to praise Jesus Christ for His position now in God’s eternal plan. Mark 16:19 says, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. Luke 24:50-51 says, And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. Acts 1:9-11 describes this scene again, when Jesus Ascends to Heaven, 9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” We need to answer two questions today. Until next time Stay in the Blessings

Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia. Today church we are at a crossroad, we have a choice to move forward with the Lord or stay where we are and go backwards. There is a forerunner group of believers forming to walk in the age to come and my calling is to build them up and guide them. We can be part of that or not, if the answer is to be fed and not do anything, that is OK, but you won’t receive the full blessing that the Lord has for you. We need to cooperate with the Father God, who would prune out those branches, attitudes, ambitions, and actions that are counter productive, so that the church might bear much fruit. Today we are talking about What Do You Believe?
