Jesus Sees Our Potential by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

I like the story about a lady named Gladys who took her 4-year-old granddaughter to see some friends at the nursing home. While Gladys was visiting one friend, her granddaughter spotted a glass on the night stand that contained a full set of false teeth. Her little eyes flew wide open and she tugged at her grandmother's arm. When Gladys leaned over to see what she needed, little Emily pointed at the glass and whispered quite loudly, "Grandma, the Tooth Fairy is never going to believe this!" That four-year-old didn’t see teeth, she saw potential treasure! When the Lord looked at Peter after he had denied Him three times, He still saw great potential in Peter and He was right. God restored Peter to ministry and he did great things for Christ. You may have messed up, but you can be profitable to the Lord by turning your life around and putting Him first. There is still hope for you. You have potential treasures and blessings in your future. God can take your failures and use them to help others when you humble yourself and yield your life to Him just like Peter did. Some may ask, “How do I become useful for the Lord? I can I try to reach my potential for Christ and be the best that I can be for Him?” In this message we will address several principles that you can implement in your life. This message was preached on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
