God is the Master Potter

Many scriptures convey that God is the "Master Potter" of our lives, and he specifically created us for His pleasure. Have you ever pondered the idea of God as the potter and His children, the clay? What would it mean if God were the Master Potter of your life. I have often thought about what it means to let God be the Master Potter of my life.

As a potter, I begin thinking of a type of vessel I want to make and the purpose that it will serve. Then I begin imagining what it will look like, the shape, features, functions, and appearance. In other words, I choose a purpose for the vessel and develop a vision. This is where we begin our understanding. God is the Potter of our lives. He has already decided on a purpose and has created a vision for our lives. (Psalm 37:4-11)

We can seek God to be the Master Potter of our lives.

Though most groups opt for a one-day event, "God is the Master Potter" can also adapt to a Friday night and all-day format, or a weekend retreat from Friday evening to Sunday around noon. The longer formats allow more group discussion and personal reflection time for the participants.

Whatever the approach, these sessions form the core of teaching at the potter's wheel: God Has a Design for Us (Vision & Purpose), Molding the Clay (Shaping), Firing the Vessel (Enduring Trials), and A Completed Vessel (Influence & Service).

Contact Nancy to schedule a seminar or retreat.
