In the Potter's House (Single Sermon)
September 29, 2013
When a potter throws clay on his wheel, that clay has no choice about what it’s going to become—it just sits there and waits to be shaped. Seeing ourselves as clay will help us avoid an “I’m in charge” attitude. God is our potter, shaping us for a purpose we can’t see—and may involve putting us through a fiery kiln to solidify our faith.

No seeds, no plants. No plants, no harvest. The laws of sowing and reaping—laws God set in motion a long time ago— also apply to financial giving. In this message, we explore what Paul said about this in his writings to the church at Corinth.

Wise money managers know the term ROI: return on investment. And the best investment has the highest rate of return with the greatest amount of security. Christians need to remember to lay up treasures “where moth and rust do not corrupt.” In this message, we’ll learn why investments in things that are eternal bear a return we can’t even imagine.

In the story of the widow giving her two mites in Mark 12:38-44, we not only learn about differences between those who make a show of giving large sums of money compared to this widow, we see a side of Jesus that perhaps we’ve overlooked. He was watching the people; He knew how they got their money; and He thought that what the widow did was so important that there was a lesson for the church of all ages to learn.

In a weakening economy, it’s easy to reduce or neglect our giving to God’s work. But what we need to do is realize that giving to the Kingdom of God is a part of the worship of God. And God doesn’t ask us to give something we don’t have—He hasn’t forgotten His people in the midst of some economic loss.

Sin isn’t static. It will always demand more. It will always come back with more ferocity and power. It will always be there and it will always increase. And its ultimate destination is death—a spiritual and moral death, and for those who don’t know the Lord, an eternal death.
The most powerful thing we can do to combat sin is to stand on the territory that Jesus conquered. He broke sin’s power.
You’re either a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness. When we’re slaves of God, we have the freedom to be what God created us to be.

A deliberate choice to continue in sin is unthinkable because we’ve died with Christ and we are dead to sin. We are part of His death and resurrection. Our old self was crucified with Jesus.
And because we were taken out of Adam and put into Christ, we are no longer under any obligation to sin—no matter what it tries to tell us. Jesus broke sin’s power over us so that we might live holy lives unto God.

There is a plague that has infected 5 billion people. In all cases, it’s fatal. The plague is Death, and it strikes everyone. Will your death be an entry point into heaven or hell?
In Romans 5, Paul compares and contrasts Adam and Jesus. Where one sinned and led all of humanity into darkness, the other obeyed God and leads us into light.
Will you die in Adam, still in your sins with the door closed to paradise? Or will you die in Jesus, with His righteousness opening the door to heaven?

Jesus came to deliver us from hopelessness. Believers have been given many blessings that are wrapped up in Christ. Among these blessings is hope—a hope that the darkness will someday come to an end because Jesus has already triumphed over the darkness.
But hope begins when you’ve made peace with God and until you’ve dealt with that issue, until you’ve humbled yourself and trusted Christ as your Savior, your hope will be futile.

Faith can destroy you. All the faith in the world can’t change lethal poison into medicine. Having faith in the wrong “Jesus” can lead you to your own destruction. So it’s important that your faith is a true faith, a faith based on the true Jesus—a faith based on specific promises; a faith that understands both law and grace; and a faith that’s growing. A little bit of faith in the true Jesus is better than absolute confidence in a false Jesus.

The slightest smidgeon of sin will banish you from the presence of God forever. Martin Luther understood this and spent hours each day confessing his sins. But he ran into a quandary: Sins, in order to be forgiven, had to be remembered. If sins aren’t remembered, they can’t be confessed. If sins aren’t confessed, they can’t be forgiven. And what if there are things that God considers sinful but you aren’t aware that they are sins? Luther eventually connected the dots, and in this message, Pastor Lutzer takes us through the passages in the book of Romans that led Martin Luther to saving faith in Jesus Christ—and the start of the Reformation.
