What happens when the shape doesn’t hold?

In Jeremiah 18, God sends the prophet down to the potter’s house—not to the palace or the temple, but to a low place where clay collapses and hands keep working. This episode listens in as Jeremiah watches a vessel lose its shape mid-spin and discovers that failure, pressure, and reworking are not signs of abandonment, but of presence.

Along the way, Isaiah reminds us we are not self-made, and Paul insists that God’s mercy is freer than our categories. This sermon is for anyone who feels unfinished, worn thin, or afraid that collapse means disqualification.

If your faith feels soft again… If your life didn’t turn out the way you planned… If you’re wondering whether God is done with you—

This word says you’re still on the wheel.
