    Lessons about God’s divine Discipline as His people ’forsake Him the fountain of living waters, ot hew for themselves cisterns broken cisterns that can hold no water".

    Northern Kingdom Living: Divine Discipline preached on August 11, 2002 As I have studied these passages from 1st and 2nd Kings I have seen the ever-present danger of idolatry. Idolatry is not something reserved for some tribe in the middle of the Pacific, but is a danger to us as well, we as ...read more

    The Pollution Scheme Series

    The salvation from sin that God bestows through His Son, Jesus Christ, is likened to water. The devil can sometimes muddy the water and cause pain and confusion, as he attempts to pollute the living water within us.

    Jesus calls the quickening gift of the Spirit “living water” because mere human nature is . . . barren of all virtue by the crimes of the devil. - Cyril of Alexandria(1) In reference to the arrival of the Messiah, the prophet Isaiah declared, “For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and ...read more

    A Crack Pot Or A Cracked Pot

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014
     | 12,153 views

    God can use our cracks, our flaws to spread the Living Water to those in the world around us. When we live our faith, when we show our faith, the Living Water is pouring from us, despite our condition, to change the world.

    Just in case you didn’t know, according to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, a crackpot is defined as “a person who is crazy or very strange.” I am sure this was not a news flash for just about anyone here this morning. I spent quite a bit of time this past week trying ...read more

    Why would the Israelites accept stale stagnant water rather than the living water God offered them? Did they just wake up one morning and say "I don’t want to follow God"? Consider these intriguing thoughts.

    OPEN: How many of you have ever bought “generic” products? Many of us do. We’ll go to the pharmacy and we’ll ask for the “generic” version of the medicine the Doctor has prescribed.

    We have a choice broken cisterns or fresh living water. Why would we drink out of mud puddles?

    We must consider what happens when the well goes dry? Broken cisterns? Empty can be spiritually dangerous.

    We have left a God-shape hole in our lives and try to fill it with other things.

    A PLEADING. Jeremiah 2:4-13. In this passage the LORD yet again makes His complaint against the whole house of Israel (Jeremiah 2:4). As we read it, we begin to realise that this is also His indictment against the whole of mankind, and against the visible Church in particular. “What ...read more

    Our spiritual life's need to be kept Sharpe to in order to get through thirsty times, for we live in thirsty lands, we are a thirsty people, are souls are thirsty, and our spiritual cisterns need to be kept in good shape.

    • We live in a thirsty Land, We are thirsty People, we are thirsty Souls, we also need Spiritual repairs So, what's the solution to our spiritual problem, as God's people? The answer ought to be perfectly obvious: Keep the cistern in good repair! Faithful disciples must maintain a reserve of ...read more

    God gave him dreams and as these dreams kind of guided him in the beginning, later on he gets thrown in a cistern and he’s taken off to Egypt.

    Well I’m excited today because today we get to start the story of Joseph. Now the story of Joseph is a story that takes up a quarter of the book of Genesis from chapter 37 all the way to the end. More than a quarter of the whole book. So we’re going to spend some time learning about Joseph. We ...read more

    With the enemy at the door, the government out of control, stuck in the mud, Jeremiah down in a muddy cistern, stuck up to his arm pit with no way out, God still had a way out! Can ordinary people made a difference?

    Sermon – Help For Those Stuck in the Mud Scripture Lesson: Jeremiah 38:1-11 “Now Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah had been telling the people.

    Grace, Repentance, And Forgiveness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,391 views

    The bitterness that we feel when we first realise what we have done is compared to the bitterness of losing an only son. Perhaps in this we begin to understand what it cost the LORD God to secure the free gift of our salvation.

    GRACE, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS. Zechariah 12:10; Zechariah 13:1. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ loved us before we loved Him (1 John 4:19). God ‘so loved’ us that He sent His Son Jesus into this world to die for our sins (John 3:16). Christ died and rose again, and ever intercedes ...read more

    Make The Devil Pay

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 27, 2017
     | 23,029 views

    When a person dies, especially a young person, we celebrate the life at the person's funeral. We shouldn't be celebrating a life that has been taken far too soon. Instead, God's children should make the devil pay for taking that life.

    Recently, I delivered the eulogy for my niece who was killed in a car accident in Memphis, Tennessee. Patricia, her mom asked me to do the eulogy and I said I would. So my wife flew down to Memphis that Friday and I drove down the following Monday. There was something stirring in me over that ...read more

    Springs Of Living Water

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,111 views

    God is this Spring of Living Water who continually gives life to us. In those days, there were two main sources of water, such as flowing and clean water from natural springs or still water from humanly made cisterns or wells.

    Illustration: On December 26, 2004, an enormous earthquake under the Indian Ocean fractured the crust of the earth and caused a tsunami. A huge wave of water, 80 feet high in some locations, came crashing down on the shores of many countries such as Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Thousands and thousands ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 25 – Mercilessly Hunted Down And Silenced In A Pit; Waters Of Judgment Flowed Over The Heads - Chapter 3:52-54 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 22, 2025
     | 86 views

    What is it to be hunted down and thrown into a pit of silence, and then to be sealed there by a stone? These survivors from the Babylonian holocaust describe their feelings. The waters of judgement surged over their heads. Jesus has identified with His people by passing that way Himself.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 25 – MERCILESSLY HUNTED DOWN AND SILENCED IN A PIT; WATERS OF JUDGMENT FLOWED OVER THE HEADS - CHAPTER 3:52-54 The laments of the people and of Jeremiah continue through the next three verses, then move into more positive territory as prayer sets the focus.
