Let Rivers Flow

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 27, 2020

The Fountain And The Broken Cisterns

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 27, 2025

This sermon is a passionate call based on Jeremiah 2:13 to abandon the exhausting pursuit of fulfillment in the world's "broken cisterns" and return to God, the true "fountain of living waters" who alone can quench our deepest spiritual thirst.

Introduction: The Scandal of Thirst Before we open God’s Word, I want you to imagine the land where Jeremiah lived. It was a dry, sun-scorched land. Water was not a convenience you got from a tap; water was life itself. A family’s wealth, their survival, depended on access to a well, a stream, or a ...read more

This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you.

Hard Work And Providence Series

Contributed by Christopher Lanham on Jun 18, 2011

He calmed a storm, cast out a demon, healed the sick, raised a little girl from the dead. Now, having fed the 5000+, Jesus sends them away and sends the disciples ...read more
