Broken Cisterns

Pastor Daniel Goulding · Jun 12, 2018

Using the story of the woman at the well in John 4, Pastor Daniel argues that every human being carries a soul-level thirst that temporary pleasures, relationships, and achievements can never satisfy. Like the Samaritan woman who drew water at noon to avoid society's judgment, we all bring broken 'cisterns' — habits, relationships, and sins — that we cling to instead of receiving the living water Jesus offers. Real satisfaction comes only when we acknowledge we are created beings, drop our masks before the Creator, and accept the exchange Jesus made possible: our brokenness for His forgiveness, worth, and fullness of life.
