Broken Cisterns

Summary

The sermon explores Jeremiah 2:13, emphasizing the spiritual lesson that God's people have forsaken the 'fountain of living waters' and turned to 'broken cisterns' that cannot hold water, symbolizing futile worldly pursuits. It highlights the necessity of replacing evil with good deeds and warns against relying on works for salvation, pointing out the limitations of such systems especially for infants and those who have never heard the gospel. The preacher stresses the sufficiency of God's living water and the importance of obeying Christ's commandments as a demonstration of love. The sermon also touches on the universality of death and the need for salvation through God's means, not human efforts.
