The Source & The Cistern

Jeremiah 2:13-18

I. They Left the Source
Sin #1 - The people left God, the "fountain of living water"

II. They Began to Search
Since they left the source, they had to search for another temporary source (Egypt & Assyria)

III. They Abandoned the Cistern
Sin #2 - While they were gone, their cistern would become dry and crack - therefore holding no water.

IV. They Became Slaves & Servants
Since they were constantly leaving, they became slaves to "other" sources of water - denying the true source - God.
