Jeremiah goes to the Potter's House. There he learns that God is the one who shapes our lives, not us.

The world and its system desires we underestimate God and overestimate evil because it wants us to imagine less of ourselves. But God invites us to imagine more. Here's how he pulled Jeremiah (and pulls us) into his alternate reality.

Israel falls to Assyria. While political theories abound, the prophet cuts straight to the point: Idolatry took Israel down. The message examines how idolatry gets a hold of us and destroys us.

We win a victory. Then we realize the world hasn't changed. Then we feel let down. This is the Holy Hangover. Life isn't always exciting. So how do we survive the hangovers?

Some churches run like businesses. Some do not. Would Jesus really want to become a corporation? Does Jesus Inc make sense? Can Jesus really be incorporated into our plans? Or should we be incorporated in his? This message helps us move from Jesus Inc to Jesus Ink--when Scripture is tattooed to our hearts.
