Part 4: When Your Pride Is Showing Series

Contributed by Brad Froese on Aug 30, 2004

As sanctified vessels we all have days we just don’t hold our “holy water” very well. One of our major faults is the life-altering sin called pride.

Last week we learned that as Christians, we’re all like vases: vessels designed to be used in the house of God, and as vessels we’re called to be sanctified: set aside as holy vessels, for noble use in the house of God… To be used for God’s purposes, in His Kingdom. Unfortunately, all of us ...read more

Outside The Box

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jun 19, 2010

We are God’s chosen vessels, and as such, we need simply to live our day-to-day lives in such a way that we love and honor one another and God above all else.

A Word To The Wise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The truth is just as true when spoken by a sinner as by a saint. Never dismiss a truth because of its source. A tin cup carries water as well as a gold one, and you can be refreshed out of either vessel.

The legend is told of a flock of crows who had an awful battle with a farmer over a corn field. It came to the point when every time they returned he shot at them.

The Transforming Fire Of God SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 8, 2023

Exploring Exodus 3, we observe how an ordinary bush becomes a vessel for God's presence. It serves as God's dwelling place, His mouthpiece, and a site of purity and transformation. It ultimately stands as an everlasting witness to God's power and glory.

Good morning and welcome in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Today, I want us to reflect on a simple yet powerful thought from the book of Exodus. It is this: Without God's fire, a bush is just a bush. In Exodus chapter three, we read about a regular thorn bush that caught Moses' attention ...read more

Jars Of Clay Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 18, 2023

So don’t think you have to be perfect to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a matter of fact think just the opposite. God uses broken vessels to be heralds of hope. It shows that it is God and not us who has all surpassing power.

The Ministry Of Thorns

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 6, 2003

Jonah refused to go to Tarshish because emotionally he felt unwelcome and theologically he thought he could escape God’s oversight. He paid hidden costs, in vain: the loss of a vessel, the loss of joy, human wreckage, reckoning with eternity.

When I travel, I don’t want to spend too much money on the travel itself. I’d rather spend my money on whatever there is to buy where I’m going.
