Whether it’s finances, health, politics, or social decay - we seem to face a new cultural crisis every week. We need to know that we have a God who formed “Covenants” with us that are unshakable and immovable. These covenants have unbreakable promises that we can stand on when the chaos of life starts to overwhelm us.

Our road trip has come to an end. We'll flip the pages on our snapshot photo album, viewing all of the landmarks we saw on what God say's about having joy. Let's recap the points to unlocking that joy, the mind-set for it, and how to combat worry that may try to rob you of that joy. These snapshots will help you to continue to refuel your joy tank, as you continue on your adventurous life journey.

Generosity is more that just a nice idea. God designed humans to feel truly fulfilled when we generously give. Throughout the Bible, God teaches that there are many rewards for those who give generously. The ultimate reward for being a generous and consistent giver is JOY. In addition, God promises that the more you give, then the more you will receive. Jesus says in Luke 6:38 “Give, and you will receive…. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” In this session, Pastor Kelly explores the rewards that come to those who give.

Right in the middle of Philippians Ch. 4 the Apostle Paul switches from pastor mode to coach mode. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul gives a statement that is power packed like a vitamin for the soul. He reminds follower of Jesus Christ that: God will give you strength if you exercise your faith, and never give up. In this session, Pastor Kelly give the 3 ways to build a “Can Do” faith based on Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

In this session, Pastor Kelly covers the first half of Chapter 4. The Apostle Paul commands followers of Christ to “rejoice and again rejoice.” Pastor Kelly identifies the four ways to combat worry. Worry is a thief that wants to rip off and steal JOY. But there is good news…God gives us the strategy to defeat WORRY in verses 6-9. It’s a roadmap to navigate thru the desert of worry. The four ways to exchange worry for JOY is: PRAY - TELL - THANK - THINK.

In the second half of Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul inspires the church to continue their JOY/FULL pursuit of being like Jesus. We as Christ followers, are meant to be like Christ. We’ll not take hold of spiritual perfection until heaven, but we should never stop going after it on earth. We‘ll never be sinless, but we can sin less and less and be more and more like Jesus. Paul reminds us that a life in full pursuit of Christlikeness is the most JOY/FULL life you can live.

As we continue in our series JOY/FULL, Pastor Jerrod covers the first half of Philippians Chapter 3. In these verses, the Apostle Paul repeats the important theme that we are to REJOICE in Jesus. There is no greater treasure or source of JOY, than having God with us and for us. Being in a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe, is the best gift of all. The JOY/FULL gift of having Jesus in your life is available to you and to all those who believe.

In this session, Pastor Jerrod covers the second half of Philippians Chapter 2. The Apostle Paul reminds us that the most JOY/FULL life, is the one ‘lived out’ with God and His purposes in mind. We experience the greatest JOY when we live for the good of others and the glory of God. Listen and learn how to joyfully “Shine like stars” (Philippians 2:15) in a world that needs the light of hope.

In this session, Pastor Jerrod covers the first half of Philippians Chapter 2. In these verses the apostle Paul reminds the church of the JOYFUL reality that God is continuously filling our lives with His goodness. Now, from the abundance of good that God pours into us, we can find great JOY in pouring into others. The key to JOY in this section is to have the same sacrificial and loving attitude towards others as Jesus has towards you.

In this session, Pastor Kelly covers the second half of Philippians Chapter 1. In it, he identifies the three types of “Mind-Set” that allow God to fill us with His JOY, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. We discover that when the Apostle Paul said, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21), he was able to have unshakable JOY because he was FOCUSED - PURPOSEFUL - INTENTIONAL. These three types of “Mind-Set” are also how we can know JOY in our daily lives.

We're on our way to episode 3! Here more as Pastor Kelly continues to unpack Paul speaking from prison to the church of Philippi on having joy. This next stop on our journey will reveal more to where we are going!

Episode 2 is here, and another installment on JOY/FULL! Listen to hear what Paul has to say in the Bible about joy, especially in times of uncertainty. Pastor Kelly is going to take us on another journey to finding Joy, when we are running on empty.

Our podcast's are back! In welcoming back our podcast, we have a new series to kick off the first episode of this new season. Hear from our Senior Pastor, Kelly Fellows, as he gets us fueled up and ready take a ride in life's adventure titled, JOY/FULL.

In this session REFINERY has a special guest speaker, Rachel Fellows. She shares insight on what the Bible says about details mattering to God. in Luke 12:6-7 we learn that no detail about us is too small or too insignificant to ca2pture His notice. Because God cares about the details of our lives, He wants us to come to Him with our all our concerns and ask for His help. “Don’t worry about anything but PRAY about everything” Philippians 4:6

God is Love by REFINERY Church

In one of Jesus’ parables he describe the priorities in God’s Kingdom by illustrating the importance of proactively inviting people to come to God’s Table. He challenges and reminds us that ALL are welcome to be a part of His Kingdom described as a great feast. Jesus uses the occasion of a dinner at the home of a pious religious leader, called a Pharisee, to illustrate the love, compassion and inclusiveness of God. He encourages us to prioritize inviting EVERYONE to come into a relationship with God through the parable of a great feast and the invitations extended to various groups of people. In the message we learn the practical ways to invite people to “partake in the meal” God has prepared called eternal life. There are 3 ways we can participate: 1. TAKE: Proactively take opportunities to share your testimony 2. LOOK: Look for needs that arise, be “Jesus” to people. 3. INVITE: Invite and meet people here for services at REFINERY
