Powerful sermon!! My wife and I (Gillian and Walter) are from the Potter's House here in Edmonton.

But after listening to this sermon (and one from Pastor King), I realized one of the issues He was trying to deal with was indeed self-pity. I felt like I was just hit square between the eyes with this truth, but more importantly, it actually hit my heart. I just wanted to give a quick testimony to not only the glory of God and Jesus, but to others in the church and to those who may not know Jesus. Could you please mention to Pastor Lamb my thanks for this message and also to my brothers and sisters in Christ Las Vegas for their prayers. Thank you Jesus....
@@mm.4991 God has been doing so many things (with me) on so many levels, I can't even articulate it. I see and feel (His Spirit) moving in some amazingly powerful things not only in my own life, but in our small church as well. The deep gratitude I feel in morning prayer is beyond what I can even describe, but I'm truly grateful on a level that I believe what Jesus feels towards us...my mind seems to be constantly on Him and what His will is. He had to tear down some walls I built, and though going through affliction and chastisement is never a pleasant experience, it always come back to the Scripture that He chastises those whom He loves and is continuing to do the work only He can do...to make me the man of God He wants me to be. I put this comment up for others that maybe are struggling or facing battles, that there is nothing He can't help us with, but being obedient and trusting wholly in Him and His love and His grace and His mercy and His beautiful Son Jesus Christ my Lord. God bless you all...Revelation 12:11
Proud to be the firstborn of this man.His life’s ministry had been a hedge in my life.I think God has spared my life many times because of my father’s servitude.My feet could never fill his shoes.And I’m quite sure that this sermon was drawn from his utter bafflement of his sons self destructive,addictive behavior.I’m also quite sure he hit that nail right on the head
Didn't your dad have an affair (or was it sexual abuse?) with a girl in his church for which he was "redirected" but later got allowed to preach anyways?
Thank you Pastor Lamb you have a very powerful testimony. And GOD does challenge us. What is amazing is sometimes we don't recognize the self pity issue right away. That truly blessed & helped me.
Pastor Scott Lamb is a guitarist we jam at Victory Chapel Lions Road Mandaluyong..1984 or 1983..he tech me a song Straigth from the a rock tune christian music..his good guitar prayer..Amen
Haven't heard Scott Lamb preach for 25 years. Great to see that his preaching (and great sense of humor) is as powerful now as it was then. Thanks for sharing great sermon. :)
Yes indeed....Pastor Scott also preached this in Suva, Fiji during the 2015 conference.... we were there ...as part of the Solomon islands delegates...........i was so moved .....and inspired ........
Excellent msg re self-pity. I deliberately looked for videos about this to help me overcome self-pity which I'd realised I'd given into. I'd prayed re what my sin was that was blocking my ability to worship God deeply from my heart, & it was only with this eventual heart of repentance that I could then finally see that it was my sin of self-pity that was obstructing me, & that I had to stop blaming all the horrendous circumstances.. Its way too easy to justify this sin & blame everything else instead of repenting of the sin, esp when the hardship is extremely intense & unceasing over a huge amount of time & is still happening. So I know I need to keep listening to these messages for a while until I fully overcome this acquired mindset that was growing increasingly deep roots. So thankyou for boldly confronting us with the truth, which we all need. I ask that U too will pray about what appears to be you having a negative way of seeing women. This video is laced with it appearing that way. Please also realise that anyone can choose to be a Jezebel, whether they are male or female. We all have to grow & often can't see our own issues. God Bless You Brother & THANKYOU again.
Personally, I don’t like labels we tend to title ourselves as Christians, Catholics, Muslims, or whatever. This phenomenon-called sin, repentance, etc religious beliefs tend to throw these types of wordings around. Why not just have a personal, intimate relationship with a higher power greater than us? Does one need a Bible or a church to believe? No! It bothers me that the word sin often is used in religious context to make someone feel inferior, weak, lost, and confused. Self pity is indeed a terrible terrible anomaly, one of the greatest disease that exist is self pity. But my question remains as to why god allows so much suffering, injustice and cruelty in the world? No one seems to know the answers to this question, often the answer given by religious people is because free will, sin, etc. Many of us don’t ask to be born, yet we’re brought into this earth into suffering, yet we’re to believe that a god or a Jesus loves us. It’s very hard to comprehend this concept because if you ask those who suffer why would they prefer I can guarantee you that most will choose happiness. Many of our life’s problems reside in the mind, the mind can be our greatest asset or demise. He fact is that nobody has seen god, nobody truly knows what happens after death, if we re incarnate, go to a different world, heaven or whatever. Does god exist? Maybe he does or doesn’t but I know one thing is for sure, suffering regardless of your beliefs system isn’t justified by any means…. Religion has been used as a tool and also an excuse to kill, rape, torture, destroy, and as a tool to get rich as many religious institutions and pastors become extremely wealthy, fly around in private jets, live in mansions, etc yet people who attend these religious institutions feel ok while many of the attendees are suffering from unemployment, financial crisis, broken mind and spirit, and many are forced to still donate money regardless do their financial struggles. Tithing I do believe it’s called, instead the church should be the one providing resources, shelter, guidance, support for their members. I question many things because that’s what a smart individual should do. Church just like any other business should be a taxed institution, but sadly it’s not. If you collect all the riches and material possessions church has, wether that’s whatever denomination I bet you hunger wouldn’t exist in the world. It’s just so unfair and strange that this happens across the globe
I love Pastor Scott Lamb, love his preaching... the first time i head him was back in 2014 and he preached on a clinging sysmbol when you don't have love in your heart for God's people and want to see people saved. When your speaking to them you sound like a clinging symbol.
Thank you for this powerful serrmon. Every christian must hear these truths. More often we paralized our own selves by feeling sorry for our weakness and being reasonable for our incapability. It doesn't matter what we feel about our situation. What matter most is what God will say about us.. ❤❤❤ Sending love from your sister in the Philippines (Quezon Province)
This is exactly what I need to hear. I was watching other video. And this one came up the recommendation list. I am so lucky that I am one of potter's house in China. This man and Richard Ruby are my favorite preacher. Keep up the good work.
I understand his preaching of self pity, been there learned how to get out of it. He kept saying that the we feel doesn't matter, so when we pray to God to help with our pain and suffering of us or our friends and family, does that mean our feelings of the situations we come to God for do not matter?
Thank you for the sermons. Do you have any Oscar Gafor? I think that's how you spell his name... Finally sermons to listen to on my way home from work... Specially when you've had a bad day. Love Pastor Lamb and Rubi, funny but honest.
did you grow up in Westfield, New Jersey- was thinking of you and was wondering how you are and where you are and found this--- the old days, mark keyko, terry bauer and me , jim sobell- let me know if this rings a bell!
Is it possible to get a transcript/CD of this message?? Thank you for posting. I have to say this was one of the "harsher" sermons I (my flesh) has heard on the subject, but it hurt good!! ; )
I apologize but all I have available is this video I uploaded. I do have to agree with you in that this sermon is perfect for fighting against the flesh. It hurts to hear our faults in the flesh but it is very necessary and a blessing. God Bless Lynn.
You can download the video sisy or record it with the voice recording on your phone if it's of any help. Stay Blessed and lots of love from Norwich church UK.
How do i get rid of self pity? I was successful. It took 15 years at my job, but i owned 2 condos and when job let me go i was ready w my $100,000 401k to buy more bank owned property. I would be financially free. I would travel and keep doing photography. The investment failed and caused me to lose everything. Now i just obsess with regret...why why WHY???? How could i be so stupid? I was smart. I let someone basically steal away my dreams. That was 2 yrs ago. Still stuck. Depression and OCD
Almost blew me away that I have my new RUclips channel and I see my old one posting a similar comment that I still feel to this day. I still have not learned.

Great message. Hits the problem of self pity with the Beersheba analogy perfectly. Saying that these men, "sound like a woman," is misogynistic. How do you guys see women, weak, cry babies, without goals?! There's so many great things about your fellowship but there are some terrible underlining problems such as the, "place," or interpretation of what a woman is and how you see women. I can't for the life of me see Jesus or Paul making a reckless reference to a women in this fashion.
Mike Fowler Not that this helps but the Bible does say that the woman is the weaker vessel. I don't think the Bible is misogynistic. There is nothing wrong to say that men should behave as men and woman as woman. The Bible is clear that there should be a distinction.
M M. Mike Fowler didn’t say the Bible was misogynistic. He said saying whiny men in the Bible sound like women is. And it is. I know many strong, lovely women of God who had/have cause to whine and do not. Casting blanket statements about women during a sermon, in a room full of men, is a bit immature if you ask me. Treating it like it’s a boy’s club time. Then they put it on RUclips where women are coming to learn....not very considerate.
La B You sound quite sensitive and seem too lean on the whiny side of this topic. No need to be so offended. Chew the meat and spit out the bones. Besides youbtwo most ladies on here have commented greatly on this message. You and the gentlemen above seem to be the only ones who find issue with a small portion of this message. The women in this fellowship are greatly appreciated and praised at every opportunity possible. Don't be too wound up you two.
A powerful message that can truly change one's life.
Some messages aren't easy to hear but necessary to make it.
Powerful sermon!! My wife and I (Gillian and Walter) are from the Potter's House here in Edmonton.
