<div class="SSN_title">"THE POTTERS HOUSE"</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. WHAT JEREMIAH SAW.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The potter.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Intelligent capable worker.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Speaks of God's authority - interest - absolute power.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. His right and authority are the clay.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. His keen interest as clay changes shape.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. I recognize his power.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The wheel.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. An instrument by which the potter accomplishes his purpose.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The circumstances of life.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The wheel, though necessary, is transitory.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The clay.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. A pliable material by which the potter accomplishes his purposes.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Man's capacity in relation to God.</div>
<div class="SSN_notes">The simplest lesson I see God and myself, the circumstances that surround my life. The master workman has a thought in His mind - if I yield, my life can express the thought.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE PRINCIPLE TAUGHT - ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD AND NECESSITY OF MAN TO YIELD THERETO.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. God has given us a free-will, in a sense.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. THE PURPOSE EXPRESSED - "HE WROUGHT HIS WORK."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Potter has a thought in mind for the clay.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Clay ignorant of thought.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Can discover it by quiet submission.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The clay gains in hand of the potter.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Worthless, shapeless mass, transformed into thing of beauty and use.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. "We are His workmanship."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Man without God is lacking in purpose and utility. Submit to God and find beauty and usefulness to God and man.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. "My life has no purpose" - Give it to God!</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. "The years are slipping away and done nothing."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">IV. THE PERSONS OF THE POTTER.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Who is the potter.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Who is God? God is love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. I can submit to love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He controls wheel as well as clay.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He applies pressure to create.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He crushes in order to make.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Would you know the heart of the potter?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. You must see it in the wounds on the cross.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. To rebel is to take clay out of potter's hands.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Render it useless and purposeless - waste.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The wrecks in the potters field.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They would not yield to the hand of the potter.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Last mention of potters field.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He marred the vessel.</div>
<div class="SSN_notes">Begin with person - yield to person and find the purpose.</div>
