Grace Plus Nothing Book Fellowship #22 | “Clay Pots” and “Majoring in the Majors” | Feb 12, 2026

Grace Plus Nothing Book Fellowship #22  “Clay Pots” and “Majoring in the Majors” Welcome to the Grace Plus Nothing Book Fellowship, where we feature the ministry of Jeff Harkin teaching through his book Grace Plus Nothing.  I’m your host, Bernie Gillespie. I’m an ordained minister of 50 years and founder of In Christ Alone! and We Want to See Jesus ministries. Glad you have joined us to learn how to apply the Gospel to your life! I was raised to have the highest respect for a Christian minister. But I wonder, “Have I been unrealistic in my expectations for them? I mean, has it often caused me to be critical of their human shortcomings?” “Or, on the other hand, has it caused me idolize them and make them heroes? Today, Jeff will talk with us about these questions and how to see the purpose of God, Who shows His glory through human vessels. In this session, Jeff will be teaching from Chapters 57 and 58, titled: “Clay Pots” and “Majoring in the Majors.”  Takeaways Stop demanding perfection from clay pots—start looking to the Gospel that glorifies God God put treasure in earthen vessels so that the surpassing greatness of the power would be of God, not the servant.  Honor God’s servants without making them idols Receive the treasure. Refuse celebrity. Remember: there is only one Superstar—Jesus Himself Make the Cross central again “Lifted up” means Calvary. The Cross is not one theme among many. It is the major Do not replace the gospel with topics—even good topics Miracles, healing, prayer, faith, family—all essential. But detached from the gospel, they become noise that cannot erase guilt Measure church growth by conversions, not transfers Not all growth is actual growth. Real growth is non-Christians becoming Christians Chapters 00:00 - 02:40   Introduction 02:42 - 17:04  “Clay Pots” 17:05 - 23:56  The Place of the Gospel in Our Lives 23:57 - 33:17  “Majoring in the Majors” 33:22 - 39:20  Restoring the Church v Preserving the Gospel? 39:23 - 43:35  Takeaways 43:36 - 44:56  Wrap Up To purchase a copy of Jeff Harkin’s book “Grace Plus Nothing” send $17 to Jeff at 7 Lakeshore Drive, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404 "Dreamer" and "Jazz Brunch" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
