Jeremiah 18:1-10 reads:

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will announce My words to you.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something on the wheel. 4 But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he remade it into another vessel, as it pleased the potter to make.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 6 “Am I not able, house of Israel, to deal with you as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, house of Israel. 7 At one moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to uproot it, to tear it down, or to destroy it; 8 if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I planned to bring on it. 9 Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it; 10 if it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said [a]that I would bless it.

Each of us spends time spinning around on God's pottery wheel.  And each of spends time being "remade."  Remade is a nice word that describes a painful process.  From a vessel in the making, to a lump of clay.  Squishing, flattening, rolling, and working.  Not a big deal for inanimate clay.  But not at all comfortable for humans.  

This Sunday, we're going to look at the process of being remade.  For those serious about spiritual growth: dying to self is a way of life.  Those who wish to find their life must lose it.  

Losing, because of Christ, is winning!
