Pastor Decker leaves no stone unturned when discussing what God places before us as correction, as opportunity, as discipline, as help, as direction or as revelation of God's goodness and wonderful works. Learn with us as we sojourn from Genesis to Job to Psalms and the New Testament as we are left to answer the question Jesus asks us, "What do you see?" References: Psalm 107:21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Mark 8:13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side. 14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. 15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

A deeply important message on the truth, accuracy and timelessness of God's Holy Word!

Is God an oppressive, authoritarian , demanding exact obedience of us to merit His favor? Does He view sinners as unclean and irredeemable? Jesus corrects this mistaken view with this famous tripartite parable.

The sermon explores the metaphor of God as a master potter and humanity as clay, drawing primarily from Jeremiah 18. It emphasizes that while humans are inherently weak and imperfect, God actively molds and reshapes them through life's pressures and circumstances. The preacher highlights that brokenness or failure does not result in rejection but offers an opportunity for renewal and restoration into vessels of honor. Believers are encouraged to remain pliable and yield to God's touch, trusting His sovereign purpose even during times of correction or hardship. Ultimately, the message conveys hope that God can transform imperfections into beauty and use individuals for His glory.

What were the roots of the problems of the church in Corinth? The apostle didn't just issue commands to change their behavior, but started his correction with reestablishing the role of the gospel in contrast to the world, the uniqueness of the local church as God's holy temple in the community.

HOW JESUS DISCIPLED HIS DISCIPLES.Matthew 28:19-20; 4:18-20 KJV For approximately three and one-half years, Jesus walked with His disciples, taught them, corrected them, challenged them, and prepared them to carry the Gospel to the world. He did not merely fill their minds with information. He changed their lives. The goal of discipleship is not simply to know more about Jesus, but to become more like Jesus. In this message, we examine how Jesus discipled His disciples and how we can become stronger disciples today. I. JESUS CALLED HIS DISCIPLES TO FOLLOW HIM Discipleship begins with a personal relationship with Christ. Jesus said, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Following Jesus means allowing Him to change our direction, our priorities, and our lives. II. JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES TO LIVE HIS WORD Biblical information must become biblical application. It is not enough to hear the Word, study the Word, underline the Word, or discuss the Word. God desires His Word to find a lodging place in our hearts and become visible in the way we live. III. JESUS SENT HIS DISCIPLES TO MAKE OTHER DISCIPLES Jesus brought the disciples in so that He could eventually send them out. Mature disciples do not merely receive truth—they share it, live it, and help others follow Christ.Live on Monday what God taught you on Sunday.
