- Welcome to worship!
Prayers: As part of God’s family, we join with all today who are suffering, and celebrate with all who are joyful.
Please pray for those unable to be with family at critical times, and for those who are lonely. Thanks to all who send cards to those who are isolated.
Take a moment to pray for those you hold in your hearts.
Take another moment to pray for those, unknown to us, who have no one to pray for them.
Scripture today: Jeremiah 18:1-4

I am also Clay I hope that all countries are worthy of him
I have been a full time potter for 60 years Jeremiah 18 The Potter and the Clay
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.” 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!
The Lord sent Jeremiah to the house of the potter to visually show to Jeremiah something by which God could speak to him.
When Jeremiah comes in the potters house, the potter has just put a fresh lump of clay on the wheel. This potter was an experienced potter not a just beginning potter. Most likely he was going to make a large vessel for water.
The potter started to pull up the clay higher and higher while the wheel is spinning around. What Jeremiah sees is very unique and unusual for a trained potter. The clay is marred in [under] the hand of the potter.
What did Jeremiah see. Most times if this happens there is a little sharp stone or lump [SIN] in the clay, the most likely thing that could happen. While the potter pulls the clay on the turning wheel it rips trough the clay. The clay now flies of the wheel in a circle on the floor because of the fast turning of the wheel. There is no way that the clay would have remained on the wheel. The potter goes down on his knees and gathers the clay from the floor; makes it in a new lump. He starts working on the wheel again and makes a beautiful vessel better than the first. Then God says to Jeremiah: “ Can I not do what the Potter just did. God said: “CAN I” not can the clay.
WAS MARRED IN THE HAND OF THE POTTER;
while he was working it; either it FELL, as the Septuagint version renders it, out of his hands, or from the beam on which it was laid; [Round plate on top of the wheel] It FELL and was Ruined
The Lord speaks about restoration and reviving that which was lost like the vessel on the wheel. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost
Jeremiah 18:15 “Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths.
What the potter did in this old testament Parable is what our Lord Jesus did to restore us and make us a Vessel to Honour. He came down from His Heavenly Glory and went down to the ground. That those who belief in Him will be restored from a disfigures fallen vessel into a New vessel for honour. He only can do that. It is impossible that the CLAY restores itself. We have to Humble Ask and He will restore us in a vessel to His Glory.
Thank you.
Blessings!
Beautifully Presented Thank You 😊 🙏 👏 ❤
Nice video. God Bless.
In a world that if you have an opinion that is different than the world, you get accused of judging. We need to be reminded that we just need to be Faithful ourselves to ALL of His Word. Share His Gospel and let God save them and mold their hearts to follow Him Faithfully.
Thank you so much! "What an adventure this past year has been. Micah, my son the videographer, and I were assisted by family within our covid "bubble" to create 26 video sermons for my congregation at Hope UCC in Cochrane, Wisconsin. We posted them to RUclips to be shared with as many people as possible. We enjoyed the process, were challenged by the pace of weekly videos, and were delighted to be of service. So glad the message resonated with you!
Amen
Well done presenting God’s Word
