Call To Worship: The Potter and The Clay (Isaiah 29)

The Potter and the Clay

L: Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. (Isaiah 43:6-7)

C: We turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, “You did not make me”? Can the pot say to the potter, “You know nothing” (Isaiah 29:16)

L: It is the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person (Zechariah 12:1b)

C: We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Corinthians 4:7)

A: Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.  Amen. (Isaiah 64:8)
