In Jeremiah 29, God speaks to the Israelites in exile in Babylon and tells them to settle in to their new home, to seek it's peace and prosperity, to work for the good of Babylon. But Babylon is the enemy! Babylon is the one that destroyed their home, slaughtered their countrymen, and carried them off to a foreign land!
Still, God tells them to seek the good of that city and those people. Because that’s what God’s People do! It's what God’s People are for: we are participants in God’s renewing and redeeming work. We build the Kingdom everywhere we go, at all times!
This week's sermon...from Jeremiah 29:4-7.
