Jeremiah 29:1-14
Over 2,500 years ago, God’s people were uprooted and sent into exile, to live among a hostile pagan culture. God did not leave them without instruction, however, sending word through the prophet Jeremiah on how they were to live as his people in exile. Today, every assembly of believers is an outpost embedded in a pagan culture, and so Jeremiah’s message stands to guide us in how to live during the years of our sojourning.
