Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Israel, Clay in the Potter's Hand, Part 2 of 3 (The Church in Babylon)

January 19, 2015

A lump of clay has no clue what its potter intends to make out of it. Jeremiah 18 tells how God views Israel, as clay on His wheel. Life begins to make sense when we have a right view of ourselves and a right view of God.

Many people think they are masters of their own destiny. But God sees His people as clay on a potter’s wheel, and since He’s the potter, He controls their destiny. We need to see ourselves as vessels God can make and remake as He chooses.

It’s a paradox. When people refuse sound teaching, God sends false prophets to give them lies to believe. Jeremiah teaches that false prophets in themselves are a judgment from God. In this message we’ll see the takeaway lessons from our look at false prophets.

True prophets of God get their message from God himself. False prophets draw their false messages from a variety of sources. In this message we’ll learn how to spot those sources and determine whether what you’re hearing is from God or from somewhere else.

False prophets were a scourge in ancient Israel, and are a scourge in our day. They tell us we’re basically good, and if we try hard, God will grade us on the curve. Jeremiah says otherwise, pointing to the deceit within each of us.

In ancient Israel, false prophets put lies about God into the minds of God’s people. The same is true in our day. They diminish His holiness, exaggerate their goodness, and hide their real motives. In this message we’ll talk about how to recognize them when you hear them.

In a time of coming judgment, Jeremiah wept over the fate of his people. Do we in America weep for the many sins of our nation?

Great deception took hold in ancient Israel, leading to idolatry and judgment. The same deceptions infect the thinking of today. The news is filled with the same destructive mindset that caused God to haul Israel into Babylon.

We hear the cries, “Our government is out of control.” “What was once wrong is now okay, and what was right is now wrong.” In order to reach this point, people have had to believe some awful lies. In this message we’ll look at four of these lies, and what believing them leads to.

God had Babylon take Israel captive after Israel deceived itself into idolatry. He will not tolerate endless disobedience from His people. He did not then, and He will not today. The story is in the early chapters of Jeremiah.
January 6, 2015
Jeremiah 2:13 says that Israel forsook God, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out broken cisterns for themselves which can hold no water. For this, God’s judgment fell. Have we in the modern church hewed out broken cisterns?
