Exiled and Empowered: Transforming Communities for Christ

Join us as we dive into Jeremiah 29:4-13!

Key Takeaways:
We are to embrace exile.
We’re spiritual exiles in today’s culture. Our citizenship is in heaven and yet God has called us to be faithful citizens where we’re planted. 

We are to contend for the good of the city.
Instead of longing for escape, we should see where we are as an opportunity to share the love of God amidst a people who need to experience Him. 

Exile is not forever.

We can rest in knowing that God’s promises are true and that we will enter into His rest in eternity. With such a promise, it makes pouring our lives out as an offering easier.
