When the world feels broken, when exile—literal or emotional—disrupts our sense of home and hope, it’s tempting to hold our breath and wait for rescue. However, in Jeremiah 29, God speaks to a people displaced and disoriented, not with promises of immediate deliverance, but with a call to live life: build homes, plant gardens, raise families, and seek the welfare of the city. Even in Babylon, even in the in-between, God invites us to live fully—not in denial of pain, but in defiant hope. This week, we listen for that same invitation: to plant seeds of peace, purpose, and presence, trusting that God’s future is unfolding even as we tend the soil of today. See you Sunday morning, in person or online.
