When the people of Israel were exiled to Babylon, they received a surprising and challenging message from God through the prophet Jeremiah. Despite their desired rebellion, Jeremiah’s letter calls them to settle in the city, seek its welfare, and pray for its peace. Instead of resisting or withdrawing, they were called to live faithfully and bless the place where they had been sent. In this sermon, Ross Savill unpacks this message from Jeremiah. By drawing parallels to our lives as followers of Jesus, we are challenged to live faithfully as "resilient exiles", engaging in our communities with love and purpose.
Listen on to discover how to embrace our calling to serve the city where we are!
