Message Notes

Jeremiah 18:1-12

Jeremiah 18:1-6 The Lord gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, 2 “Go down to the potter’s shop, and I will speak to you there.” 3 So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. 4 But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over. 5 Then the Lord gave me this message: 6 “O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.
Know that God can SHAPE us for life & freedom

Jeremiah 18:7-10 7 If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, 8 but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. 9 And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or kingdom, 10 but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless it as I said I would.
Allow God to shape you by yielding to God’s DIRECTION in Jesus

Jeremiah 7:11-12 11 “Therefore, Jeremiah, go and warn all Judah and Jerusalem. Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am planning disaster for you instead of good. So turn from your evil ways, each of you, and do what is right.’ ” 12 But the people replied, “Don’t waste your breath. We will continue to live as we want to, stubbornly following our own evil desires.”
Leave pride behind & live for God’s DESIRES

Next Steps

Further Study

Read the Bible passages we studied this week. Is there an area of your life in which God is asking you to lay down your pride? Are you willing to yield to Jesus’ direction? Ask God to reveal to you areas of pride that are harmful for you.
