Refinement

Video Illustration

Produced by James Grocho (Grochowalski)

Refinement is the process of transforming something by making it more pure, solid, and strong. Usually done using heat and pressure in order to remove impurities and make the material more pliable. The Bible teaches us that refinement is also a spiritual process of change that takes place over time through trials, repentance, and the work of the Holy Spirit. This video explains how refinement is an essential process for all believers as we seek to be more like Jesus in every way.

Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-7, Psalm 66:10, Zechariah 13:9, Proverbs 17:3, Isaiah 48:10, Malachi 3:2, James 1:2, 1 Peter 4:12  (view more)  (view less)
