You Can Be in Church and Still Be Far From God | When the Cisterns Break | Lawrence Miles

You can come to church and still be far from God. You can know the songs, serve on a team, even preach, and still be far from God. In week one of RETURN: Back to the Source, Pastor Lawrence Miles opens Jeremiah 2:13 and asks a question most of us avoid: where have I actually been looking for life? God tells His people they committed two sins, not one. They left the spring of living water, and then they dug their own cisterns that could not hold water. A cistern is anything we expect to give us what only God can provide. Money. Career. Relationships. Approval. Even ministry. This message is about what happens when those cisterns finally crack, and why that breaking might be mercy instead of judgment.
