Jeremiah 18:1-6

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 

2 “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” 

3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 

4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me. 

6 He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.

Message Notes

The severity of God's justice is matched only by the relentlessness of His grace.  

God has the right to carry out His plans, and we are responsible for how we respond. 

The life you were made to live isn't self-directed striving but about continual surrender and obedience.

Purpose is found not in resisting God's hands, but resting in His hands. 

We are shaped individually, yet designed collectively. 

Reshaping requires repentance, revival requires humility, and renewal requires unity.
