The Potter's House

"The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 'Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words.'" Jeremiah 18:1-2

So God tells Jeremiah to go to the potter's house, and there Jeremiah watches the potter. God gives Jeremiah this incredible analogy where He is the potter and we are the clay.

Before giving Jeremiah this word, He first told Jeremiah to go to the potter's house.

God compares Himself to the potter. So it's reasonable to think that the potter's house might be the House of God, or God's presence.

Guys, we need to go to the potter's house, so to speak. We need to be in God's presence. We need to spend some time with the Great Potter.

Because of what Jesus did for us and the Holy Spirit, we can get in God's presence anytime. We can do it in the morning, the evening, on our lunch break, driving in the car, or while drinking our coffee. Those are normal, everyday things. We don't need to limit ourselves to just Sunday. Church is important, and we should definitely be there, but don't stop there. One on one time with God is priceless. If we would just take the time to get into the Potter's presence, well, awesome stuff will happen.

Go to the Potter's House.
