Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia. 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 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. 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!
