The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "The Potter and the Clay" by George Whitefield

This is a sermon by George Whitefield on the text, Jeremiah 18:1-6. In it, he deals with two points which he writes:

First, I shall undertake to prove, that every man naturally engendered of the offspring of Adam, is in the sight of the all-seeing, heart-searching God, only as a “piece of marred clay.”

Secondly, That being thus marred, he must necessarily be renewed: and under this head, we shall likewise point out by whose agency this mighty change is to be brought about.

Doubtless, such preaching of the depravity of man and of his inability but necessity to be born from above by a sovereign act of Almighty God would not be well-received today. But can anyone argue that such is that which is most needed today?
