Sometimes people confuse me. We can be looking at same situation but coming to different conclusions. When what they do doesn’t make sense I ask, “What is your deal?” Well, when we don’t understand what God is doing or why God is calling us to do something, we can also ask “God, what is the deal?”
As an example from the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah shos us, the really cool thing is that when we ask, “God, what is the deal?” God actually answers.
Listen to the message and you’ll see what I mean.

Am I Still Clay or Am I Already Pottery?
"Am I Still Clay or Am I Already Pottery?"
Weird question, huh. Is there even a difference? There is a difference. it is a significant to understand. It’s the difference between spiritual victory and defeat. It is th difference between blessing and a curse. It is the difference between God positive promises and God’s condmenattion?
Listen to understand the difference and why one of the most important questions you must ask of yourself is:
“Lord, am I still clay or am I already pottery?”

LUKE 14 DINNER
What: Luke 14 Dinner for the Needy. Members will fill their plates and personally deliver and donate their Sunday afternoon lunch to the Friendship Mission Homeless Shelter.
When: September 12th, approx. 12:30 p.m. (immediately after the 11 A.M. service)
Where: Hall Memorial CME Church is at 541 Seibles Road, Montgomery, 334.288.0577; Friendship Mission is at 3561 Mobile Highway, Montgomery, 334.284.5391
Hall Memorial Christian Methodist Episcopal Church calls on all tri-county area citizens to donate their Sunday lunches and dinner to those most in need on Sunday, Sept. 12.
HMCME is well-known for the delicious soul-food dinners we serve after special afternoon services. On Sept. 12th, after 11 A.M. worship service, we will pile food on their plates for a traditional Sunday meal – with a twist. Rather than enjoying the meal ourselves, we’ll get into our cars and caravan to the Faith Mission homeless shelter to deliver them to their fellow man. Along the route, meals will also be shared with the hungry who are on the streets.
We’re calling it the Luke 14 Dinner.
As we were preparing our church calendar and I was preparing my sermon, the Lord convicted us out of Luke 14: 11-14:
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He [Jesus] said to the host who invited him, "When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.
We, the Church, have been blessed with so much. But we don’t have so that we can possess. We have so that we can share with others and serve God out of the blessings He gives us.
