Isaiah 64:8

DARE TO BE IN THE POTTER’S HANDS IN 2025!

(January 08, 2025) Dr Richard Winter challengingly encourages…

So it’s 2025— a year that’ll be full of opportunity!

But… even now in some people’s minds there’s the question of ‘What will this new year bring? I failed so much last year.’ And… some people, even Christians, have already begun this new year full of regret regarding last year!

Is that you? Had bad experiences in 2024… earlier? Let’s remember that despite past failures God cares for us, wants the best for us, bless and use us!

SQUEEZED, PUSHED AND PULLED

(August 15, 2023) Richard Winter challenges…

This happened to me in college –

We all had to take two art classes, one painting and the other pottery. I thought I knew how to draw and paint – but not well, and pottery was something I knew nothing about, so I went for it.

We threw a lump of clay on a spinning wheel and squeezed, pushed and pulled that clay until it resembled a pot of some sort.

Jeremiah 18:4 says that God has an illustration of how a potter can make a pot of his choice and,  if he doesn’t like it, can squash it down again and make another pot.

This is a life message!
In this world we can be squeezed, pushed and pulled to conform to the image that it wants to make of us. But this is not what God wants for us so He makes a new life for us –  we are to be born again by the Spirit and not the flesh.
