Jars of Clay 2 Corinthians 4:7 ‘ … we have this treasure in jars of clay …’

Jars of Clay Can God use me? Will God use me?

Jars of Clay Paul faces reality head-on Upside and downside of ministry Opening comment and parting shot are the same: ‘we do not lose heart’

Jars of Clay ‘therefore’ (1) … makes a connection ‘we have this ministry’ (1) … one that leads people into a vibrant and pulsating relationship with God ‘since through God’s mercy’ (1) … be buoyant – reflect on God’s mercy

Jars of Clay Look at Paul … Look at Paul … Look at the early disciples … Look at the early disciples … God can draw a straight line with a very crooked stick!

Jars of Clay God often takes the most unlikely and most unpromising material and turns it into a vessel that will glorify Jesus!

Jars of Clay Call to integrity – tell the truth (2) Call to integrity – tell the truth (2) People need the Lord (3-4) People need the Lord (3-4) Let’s talk about Jesus (5a) Let’s talk about Jesus (5a) Servants – not celebrities (5b) Servants – not celebrities (5b)

Jars of Clay Clay pots (7a) Clay pots (7a) Incredibly ordinary Incredibly ordinary Fragile … flawed … cracked Fragile … flawed … cracked Why would God put such a priceless treasure in a clay pot?

Jars of Clay ‘… to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us …’ (7b) No matter what your résumé or DNA looks like … says Paul: ‘you’re just a clay pot!’

Jars of Clay He is the Potter – we are the clay He is the Potter – we are the clay He shapes us He shapes us He uses us He uses us He picks us up when we’re broken He picks us up when we’re broken He puts all the pieces back together He puts all the pieces back together

Jars of Clay God is attracted to weakness ‘The Lord had the strength and I had the weakness, so we teamed up … an unbeatable combination!’ He turns our weaknesses into his mega opportunities

Jars of Clay Though we are weak, His grace is everything we need – We’re made of clay, But this treasure is within; He turns our weaknesses Into his opportunities, So that the glory goes to him.

Jars of Clay What is the purpose of a clay pot? It’s meant to be used. That’s what ministry and mission is all about … Can God? Will God? Yes!
