The Refinery Church Sermon Podcast

What does it really take to grow spiritually? In the opening message of our new series, Cultivate , Pastor Landon invites us to consider the powerful image Jesus gives us in the Parable of the Sower. Just like a seed planted in the ground, spiritual growth begins with something small—but full of promise. This message reminds us that all the power and potential for growth is already within the seed...

Join us for the last message in 2025 as Pastor Landon walks us through passages in 2 Timothy and Judges to help us remember to be intentional in the way we live and invest in others. He encourages us all to walk away with this final message: The lives we live teach and model to others what we most value.  Lifegroup Questions: As you reflect on the year that’s ending, what word or phrase best descr...

Christmas Eve at The Refinery with Pastor Landon Yowell.

In the final message of our Like a Child series, Pastor Landon invites us to reflect on one of the most essential marks of childlike faith: forgiveness. Drawing from Matthew 18:21–35 and Matthew 4:12–17, this message reminds us that forgiveness is not optional in the kingdom of God—it flows from the very heart of the gospel. Throughout this series, we’ve explored what it means to approach God with...

In Week 3 of the Like A Child series, Jay Zollars explores what it means to cultivate healthy community in a world that so often chooses destruction over restoration. From broken relationships to fractured systems, the evidence is everywhere—yet Jesus invites His followers to live differently. Rooted in 2 Corinthians 5:17–19, Matthew 18:15–20, and Matthew 2:13–18 this message reminds us that creat...

In this second week of our Advent series, Like A Child , Pastor Landon invites us to rediscover the kind of love that doesn’t measure, calculate, or protect itself—a love that gives freely. Advent reminds us that God goes to great lengths to love all people, and that true love is always costly. Pastor Landon explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 18, where a shepherd willingly leaves the ninety-nine...

In this first week of our Advent series, Like a Child , Pastor Landon invites us to rediscover the surprising, disruptive, and life-changing call of Jesus: “Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Advent is the perfect season to reflect on this invitation. God Himself entered our world as a child—small, vulnerable, dependent—showing us that H...

In the final message of our Back to Life series, Pastor Landon reminds us that if there is breath in our lungs, God still has purpose for our lives. From the very beginning, God designed us not as spectators but as partners—people who actively join Him in shaping, restoring, and renewing the world around us. In Acts 9, we meet a woman whose faithful, everyday obedience made such an impact that her...

In this week’s message, Pastor Landon takes us into 2 Kings 4:28–37 and Ephesians 3:20 to remind us of a powerful truth: God can be trusted with all things. Drawing from a famous line in The Shawshank Redemption — “Hope is a dangerous thing” — Pastor Landon challenges the idea that hope sets us up for disappointment. In the story, hope is seen as something that tempts people with what may never co...

In this second message from the Back to Life series, Pastor Jay helps us look at the story of Elijah and the widow—a moment when God’s provision showed up in the middle of a dry and desperate season. When everything seemed to be running out, God reminded His people that with Him, there is always enough. Through the widow’s faith and obedience, we see that trusting God often requires action—even wh...

In this message, Pastor Landon looks at three powerful moments where Jesus steps into scenes filled with loss, pain, and despair—and everything changes. When Jesus enters the picture, the crushing weight of death and grief is lifted. God cares deeply about what breaks your heart, and Jesus draws near to the brokenhearted. No situation, relationship, or circumstance is too far gone for Him. What lo...
