Better Together!

Clay in the Potter's Hands is a 60 minute illustrated sermon that brings us face to face with the beautiful imagery of Jeremiah 18 and God's message to Jeremiah at the potter's house. In this interactive pottery sermon we follow the pathway that clay takes to become the vessel that the potter desires, the molding and shaping of the clay, the process of centering, and the destructive effects of clay that will not submit to the will of the potter. As you watch this deep and colorful illustration you will be drawn to vivid parallels between our own lives and the clay on the potter's wheel. ...and in the process, you will be encouraged to trust the hand of the master potter who loves you and has a plan for your life. DJ Harry is the pastor of Needhams Grove Baptist Church and is the potter/creator at Chosen Vessel Pottery in Seagrove, NC.
