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!
