Welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The focus for the coming few Sunday mornings is the Holy Spirit, how we recognise Him, and how we should respond to Him.  The theme is “Recognising and Responding to God’s Gift of the Holy Spirit.” Today we are talking about The Holy Spirit Invites You. Humankind’s greatest need is to know God through faith in Jesus Christ. Because our deepest need is spiritual, God sent His Son to die on a cross to show His love for us and to conquer death that He might demonstrate to us the reality of eternal life. Following this great redemptive activity accomplished by Jesus Christ, God sent His Holy Spirit into the church and into the world to invite all nonbelievers to come to Jesus Christ through faith that they might receive the gift of eternal life and become the children and servants of God. If you are still a nonbeliever, you may be shocked to learn that the Holy Spirit  of God is in the world today inviting you to become a believer in Jesus Christ. The words of our text declare the purpose of the church and of the Holy Spirit is to invite you to come to Jesus Christ, who is the fountain living waters. He alone can quench the thirst of your soul. Our Scripture reading urges us to listen attentively and responsively as the Holy Spirit of God speaker to our innermost being. Jesus, in the closing days of His ministry, detailed some of the activities on the Holy Spirit who would come on the day of Pentecost. One of the primary functions of the Holy Spirit was to bear testimony to people’s consciences regarding who Jesus Christ is and what He came to do. 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 www.refinerylife.org 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!
