OBJECT LESSON: THE PURPOSE OF A TEAPOT

Does a teapot serve a purpose until it has something to pour out? So too are we meant to be full – ready to pour out what we have been filled with. This is the Body of Christ - meant to become full of Christ so that we might be poured out on those in need.

[In this illustration I had several teapots on stage and discussed what is inside of us... and one teapot very pretty on the outside (was china) but had old pool water on the inside with some green sludge in it. It helped us ponder if were ready to be poured out or only going through the motions.]
