    Potter and Clay

    The document discusses the role of a potter and clay in the shaping process. It notes that the potter positions the clay, applies pressure in various places to different degrees, and uses water to keep the clay soft and pliable during forming. Similarly, God works in believers' lives through pressures and trials mentioned in scripture to shape them according to his purpose. The role of believers as clay is to submit to God's work, stay soft and allow changes through his word, and to stay continually surrendered despite temptations to harden their hearts or think God's work is complete.

    The Role of a Potter

    Jeremiah 18:6

    1. Position - the clay will put on the center (wheel).


    *Jesus must be the center of our life. Acts 9:6; Phils.1:6

    Phil 2:13 - God is working in us.


    Eph. 3: 14 - God is working in our heart (inside).
    How? by the Word of God.
    Christian life is not performance.

    2. Pressure - the potter is applying pressure in various places and various


    degrees.
    *Pressure in our life.
    Ex. Joseph - pit, Potiphar's house, prison, (preparation)
    Purpose of God in Joseph's life - palace
    Rom. 8: 28
    James 1:2 - temptations meaning trials
    Job 23:8

    3. Pliability - the potter uses water to keep the clay soft.


    Eph 5:25-26 - Word of God.

    The Role of a Clay


    Phil. 1:6; 2:13
    1. Rom. 9:20-21 - Submit.
    Choice and free will.
    jer. 18:1-3

    2 Temptations:
    * The temptation to get a hard heart and refuse to the changes that God wants to
    meet in us.
    Ex. King Saul; Samson
    * The temptation to think that God has completed his work in our life. I Tim. 1:6

    What would be our response?


    2 Vital Responses

    1. Stay Soft.
