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
