After singing a few songs, then as a congregation we read together aloud the following scripture...

Jeremiah 18:1-10
The Potter and the Clay

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will announce My words to you.”

3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something on the wheel.

4 But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he remade it into another vessel, as it pleased the potter to make.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

6 “Am I not able, house of Israel, to deal with you as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, house of Israel.

7 At one moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to uproot it, to tear it down, or to destroy it;

8 if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I planned to bring on it.

9 Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it;

10 if it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said that I would bless it.

Here is the text from the sermon. 

Jeremiah 1:1-19

[1] The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin,

[2] to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

[3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.

[4] Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,

[5] "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

[6] Then I said, "Alas, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth."

[7] But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak.

[8] "Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD.

[9] Then the LORD stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me, "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

[10] "See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, To pluck up and to break down, To destroy and to overthrow, To build and to plant."

[11] The word of the LORD came to me saying, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "I see a rod of an almond tree."

[12] Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it."

[13] The word of the LORD came to me a second time saying, "What do you see?" And I said, "I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north."

[14] Then the LORD said to me, "Out of the north the evil will break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.

[15] For, behold, I am calling all the families of the
kingdoms of the north," declares the LORD; "and they will come and they will set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls round about and against all the cities of Judah.

[16] I will pronounce My judgments on them concerning all their wickedness, whereby they have forsaken Me and have offered sacrifices to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.

[17] Now, gird up your loins and arise, and speak to them all which I command you. Do not be dismayed before them, or I will dismay you before them.

[18] Now behold, I have made you today as a fortified city and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze against the whole land, to the kings of Judah, to its princes, to its priests and to the people of the land.

[19] They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD.

Again, Denise and I are available for prayer.

In Christ,

Pastor Harvey
