Crushing is a process the same as Justification, Sanctification, Transformation, and Salvation. We shouldn't be afraid of this process. In this process a divine reversal has and is happening where a part of you must die while another part in you must live. God's divine reversal has and is taking place because hope doesn't disappoint and even in defeat you end up winning. Don't give up in the crushing, the last shall become first!
Slow Down
April 21, 2024 • Pastor Duane Butler • Jeremiah 18:4, Luke 15, Luke 15:25, John 15:13, 1 John 4:7–11
When we have experienced a crushing, are we speedily moving out and on from it or have we slowed down to take it all in? Have we run back to busy, have we acknowledged the loss, have we been so inundated with the work of God that we have forgotten that God has been with us through the crushing? When we haven't slowed down, we miss the love of the Father has been with us in, through, and after the crushing. Let's slow down to receive His love and then give that love to another!
Sometimes You Win and Sometimes You Learn
April 14, 2024 • Pastor Duane Butler • Jeremiah 20:7–9, John 6:29, Luke 2:34, Jeremiah 18:3–6, Jeremiah 18:4
You are in the Potter's hand. You may be marred but you are still in His hand and He is making you into that which seems good to Him. God is not done with making you!
