In the Potter's Hands

In this thought-provoking sermon, guest speaker Felix Lopez shares a powerful message on the analogy of God as the potter and believers as clay, drawn from Jeremiah 18 and Ezekiel 37. Felix emphasizes that, just like clay, we must be moldable in God’s hands, allowing Him to shape us according to His divine purpose. He explains that the potter’s wheel represents the circumstances God uses to mold us, and the intensity of the process reveals our true character. Felix encourages the congregation to trust in God’s shaping work, even when it involves the fiery trials of life, because these are designed to refine and beautify us.

Felix also discusses the importance of staying connected to God’s voice, referencing the parable of the sheep who know the shepherd’s voice. He challenges believers to listen for God’s guidance and to be receptive to the Holy Spirit’s prompting. Additionally, Felix speaks about the role of the church in helping those who are broken, like pieces of clay scattered on the potter’s floor. He calls on the congregation to be vessels of God’s grace, reaching out to restore and support others.

The message concludes with a call to examine our own lives, surrender to God’s shaping hand, and remember that in His care, even the most broken pieces can be made whole.
