When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

When Jeremiah proclaimed the coming judgment of God, his fellow Israelites paid him no heed. Life went on with no thought of a day of accounting. We in America must learn what they learned, because where Israel went, so will we.

A lump of clay has no clue what its potter intends to make out of it. Jeremiah 18 tells us that God views Israel as clay on His wheel. Life can begin to make sense when we get a right view of ourselves and a right view of God.
November 14, 2014
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 is the potter, He controls their destiny. Freedom comes from seeing ourselves as vessels God can make and remake as He chooses.
