Jeremiah / Murray Capill
Talk 2: The Apostate Church
Jeremiah 2:1 - 6:30
Four steps to apostasy
1. Let your love for God grow cold
The honeymoon - 2:1-3
The divorce - 3:1-5
The charges - 2:20, 23-24, 32
The failing - 2:6-8
2. Trade confidence in God for lame substitutes
Two evils - 2:11-13
Empty cisterns then and now
3. Resist God’s call to repent
A call to the north - 3:6-8
True repentance - 3:22-25
The repenting church
4. Make light of the judgement to come
Preaching judgement
The heart of God and the desire of the hearers
Jesus and judgement
But… 3:12, 4:27, 5:10, 18, 6:16
