Pastor Steve examines Jeremiah's powerful metaphor about abandoned fountains and broken cisterns, revealing how this warning perfectly mirrors our modern spiritual crisis.
• Ancient Judah's double sin: abandoning God (the living water) while creating their own spiritual solutions (broken cisterns)
• The danger of making the church building or religious activities a substitute for genuine relationship with God
• Modern idols we purchase and prioritize instead of God: cars, boats, possessions, comfort
• How our desire for control leads us to create substitutes for God's lordship in our lives
• The risk of placing political leaders in "messianic" positions while ignoring our need for genuine repentance
• True Christianity evidenced not by religious activities but by the fruit of the Spirit
• The need for humility and confession to restore our relationship with God
