We shared that we are lumps of clay..God wants to recreate in us a worthy vessel..

We go through a time of prepartion.....it could be 2 days, 20 days, 2 months, 2 years or 20years.

We are in God's time..

We go through a time of rest...our sabbaoth...Like the potter rests the clay so we need the rest to understand that we are called to Be still and Know that God is God..

We go through a time of decsion...God makes the decision about us..we have to accept the Will ofGod in our lives...we need to aline our will with his.

We go through a time of forming..

That is what we will center in on this weekend.

I am excited that Linda Neely will be sharing the Children's Moments this weekend sharing with the children(and adults who listen) about forming.



So bring your lumps of clay ...your lives.

God is doing a great thing..

Message: Worthy Vessels: Clay In The Hands of the Master Potter


Part I...The Potter Frees the Clay


This weekend: Resting the Clay"





We contine with the exciting Epiphany series....Worthy Vessels: Clay In the Hands of the Master Potter.


We are the clay....God is the Potter...


We have been traveling over the past couple of weeks indicating that we are lumps of clay and God was to get his hands on us and remold us...and make us into something knew.


We have been talking along the way the many part of the process of God being our Master Potter.


This weekend we think about resting the clay.


There is a time of rest...for growth...for development.



So what does the word rest...or the biblical word sabbath mean to you?

Does it mean a day of catching up...a day to give to God...a day to rest and replinish yourself.



It is interesting that the potter lets the clay rest before it can be used...it he or she does not..then the potery might not be worth as much or it might crack or have a flaw...



We are lumps of clay....seeking that God the Master Potte





so come and bring youras clay.


Let us let the Master Potter put his hands on us.





Stay Faithful & Finish Well,


Your Pasto;r & Friend
