Immanuel Lutheran Palatine Media

In our second reading today, St. Paul says we have a treasure, but it is in clay pots. It is
an extraordinary treasure that belongs to God and not to us. Paul is not very impressed
with clay pots. He is much more interested in what they hold. And he wants to make
sure that we do not confuse the clay pot with what the clay pot holds. Paul wants us to
focus not on the container but the contents.

However, like a lot of things in life, we get it wrong. We get it backwards. We focus on
the clay and forget about the contents. We value the vessel and forget about what’s in
it. We get it backwards and miss the power. Confused? Pastor Tom will explain all in
today’s message. Listen-In or Watch below:
