Pastor Philip Miller

Israel, Clay In The Potter's Hands (The Church In Babylon)

August 5, 2018

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 is in control of their destiny. We must learn to see ourselves as vessels God can make and remake as He chooses.

In ancient Israel, false prophets put lies about God into the minds of the people. The same is true in our day. These false teachers minimize God’s holiness, and exaggerate their own goodness to hide their real motives. We must learn to recognize the lies.

God allowed Babylon to take Israel captive after the people turned to idolatry. God won’t tolerate endless disobedience from His people—He didn’t then, and He won’t today. God judges a people who call darkness light, and light darkness.

After a long period of nation-wide disobedience, God judged Israel by allowing Babylon to carry them off into captivity. They became a minority in a pagan land, just as Christians are fast becoming a minority in America today. The parallels are crucial to understand.

Do you ever wonder why you’ve been placed on Planet Earth? In a marvelous New Testament passage, we find a clear answer to this question. God has called us to be members of a divine community known as the Church, and to take His good news to the whole world.

Too many believers have withdrawn from local church fellowship, preferring to spend the Lord’s Day elsewhere. But the body of Christ is designed to help each member grow when everyone follows God’s call to meet and serve one another on a regular basis.

It’s easy to for believers to let the world press us into its mold, to conform us to what our culture expects. But God has a higher calling for His own: they are to enjoy the fruits of holy living. God said: “Be holy, for I am holy.” Some people think holiness is joylessness. In fact, the opposite is true: we find our joy in being set apart for God.

When you read the headlines, the future looks pretty grim: financial upheaval, wars, terrorism, corruption, and natural disasters. But believers in the race of life know the goal line is not affected by this present darkness. Peter wrote that we’re born again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Maintaining a clear conscience is not what the devil has in mind for the children of God. He tells lies to get us back into the bondage of having a defiled conscience. In this message we learn how to combat those lies and walk in the victory of a clear conscience.

Once you’ve given up your bitterness against someone else, how do you repair the breach in your relationship? Many of us live in a tangled web of hurt and alienation, and somehow bridges need to be built to make things right. In this message we learn the “how-to” of reconciling broken relationships.

Bitterness is like a cancer that spreads everywhere in the body. It can destroy your joy and make you quite unpleasant to be around. In this message we uncover the roots of bitterness, and then explain how it can be uprooted from your life for good.
