All are Clay in the Potter's Hands

In 2 Kings 19, Pastor Zack draws our attention to the absolute sovereignty of Yahweh over kings, nations, and the very threads of life and death. By exploring the history of Israel from Egypt to Assyria, we see vividly that God alone directs the hearts of rulers, controls the rise and fall of empires, and preserves His covenant people through every trial. Highlighting critical biblical moments—from the bravery of Hebrew midwives in Egypt to the judgment upon Assyria—Pastor Zack exposes the futility of pragmatic humanism, emphasizing that faithfulness to God transcends mere practical considerations.


Ultimately, the sermon directs us to Christ, the promised branch from the stump of Jesse (Isaiah 11), who judges righteously, secures lasting peace, and ushers in a redeemed creation where His knowledge fills the earth. This message calls believers today to resist the temptation of elevating man's wisdom above divine sovereignty, urging instead a humble trust in the providential reign of the King of kings.
