A Vessel Unto Honor | Understanding the Christian Sanctification Process

36 minutes

What does it mean to be a vessel unto honor? In this message, Brother Scott Mitchell examines the Christian sanctification process through Scripture and explains how believers are called to walk worthy of their calling in Christ. Though we live in frail earthen vessels, God has placed the treasure of the Gospel within us and empowered us through the Holy Spirit to live holy and separated lives unto Him.

This study examines the biblical meaning of sanctification, the struggle between flesh and spirit, renewing the mind through God’s Word, and how believers can possess their vessel in sanctification and honor. From Paul’s teaching on earthen vessels to Christ’s illustration of new wine in new bottles, this lesson reveals God’s desire to transform His people into vessels fit for the Master’s use.
