Cracked Cisterns: What Jeremiah Says About Your Screen Time

August 12, 2026

Series: ScreenSlavers

Book: Jeremiah

We didn’t decide to walk away from God. We just stopped asking where He was.

In Week 2 of Screen Slaver, Pastor Douglas Humphrey takes us into Jeremiah 2:4–13 — God’s own lawsuit against a people who traded the fountain of living water for cracked cisterns that could never hold it.

Twenty-six hundred years later, the evidence still has our fingerprints on it. In this message, we unpack:

  • Why nobody drifts from God in one dramatic moment — it always starts with a question that goes quiet
  • How proximity to the things of God is not the same as knowing God
  • The trade every generation makes, and why ours looks the same as Israel’s
  • Why the spring never ran dry — and what it means to put the cistern down.
