More Than Molds

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

Are we molded by the world or transformed by God? This powerful message challenges us to examine our lives through the lens of Romans 12. Just as Play-Doh can be easily shaped by external forces, we too can be conformed to the patterns of this world. But we're called to be more than Play-Doh - we're clay in the Potter's hands. The speaker uses this vivid analogy to illustrate how God shapes us through trials, refines us through fire, and ultimately uses us for His purposes. The key is allowing ourselves to be transformed by the renewal of our minds, not just on Sundays, but in our daily lives. This transformation manifests in genuine love, patience in tribulation, and even blessing those who persecute us. It's a radical call to live differently, to respond to evil with good, and to let God's kindness lead others to repentance through us. As we reflect on this message, let's ask ourselves: In what areas of our lives do we need to invite the Holy Spirit to transform us? How can we live as clay in God's hands rather than Play-Doh shaped by the world?
