A. Just as the potter reshapes marred clay, God can reshape our lives.
B. Evidence of God's sovereignty in our lives gives us hope in times of brokenness.
2. God’s message to Israel shows that he can reshape nations based on their response to him (Jeremiah 18:5-10).
A. If a nation turns from its evil ways, God can relent from bringing disaster.
B. Conversely, if a nation does evil, God proclaims judgment but holds out the opportunity for repentance.
