"In The Hands Of The Potter" (Genesis 2:7 )
Originally Delivered: May 3, 2009
Message Length: 22 min.
Abstract - Pastor Don uses the metaphor of the Great Potter, that being God, and how we are formed by His hands.  There is the preparation, the forming, and the building, and finally the testing, all necessary to make God's worker.  What makes a great potter?  He sees beyond the mere clay to what it can be, the possibilities.  As growing Christians we often lack the vision of what we can be.  But as we grow in our Spiritual walk we learn how to recognize our potential, if only we listen to God for guidance.  Are you ready to be the vessel God wants you to be?
