    God wants to mold our lives, if we will let Him, and make us into beautiful creations.

    It’s kinda humorous that I’m going to attempt to talk about pottery. I’m not the artsy, craftsy type. However, that’s the image that Jeremiah uses and it’s a beautiful one. In preparing for this sermon, I read that before it is glazed and fired, the potter may reshape and redo the pottery, if it ...read more

    based on 77 ratings
     | 32,363 views

    These six words cause me to wonder, are we really concerned about the souls of others? Do we care if the unsaved perish? Do we care that when the lost die lost they are lost forever?

     | 3,681 views

    No matter how well we think we have made preparations, there are times that we fall short of our goal. It is not through our own efforts that we will attain eternal life - it is only through obedience to God’s plan and acceptance of Jesus as our Savior.

    Wednesday evening – How do we put that in perspective? We thought we had a plan. We were taking the youth to the Real Life Church in Macon to their Judgement House presentation called “the METH Effect”. I had called earlier in the week to try to make a reservation and was told that the earliest ...read more
