The Vessel of Misunderstanding — Part 2
Tuesday, July 22, 2025
Steven Shelley
New Hope Revival Ministries
Pastor Shelley explores how God allows believers to experience seasons of misunderstanding as part of divine purification. Using the metaphor of Roman tinted glass vessels that distort wine’s appearance during fermentation, he explains how others’ perceptions may be inaccurate while God refines character. The message emphasizes finding identity in God’s approval rather than human validation, maintaining integrity during criticism, and understanding that misunderstanding often precedes promotion in God’s kingdom.
