Last week, we heard Jeremiah’s call to “seek the welfare of the city” — even the city of exile. We were challenged to plant gardens, build homes, and extend shalom to those we once called enemies. It was a radical invitation to live fully, even in unfamiliar soil.
This week, Jeremiah’s voice shifts from one of survival to one of promise. In chapter 31, we hear of a future where sorrow is replanted as hope, and the covenant is no longer carved in stone but written on our hearts. God speaks of restoration, of intimacy, of a relationship where each person knows divine love firsthand.
Between these two texts lies a journey — not of miles, but of trust, from settling in exile to dreaming of return, from enduring the present to embracing a future shaped by grace. Join us as we listen for the heartbeat of hope in Jeremiah’s words, and consider what it means to be a people of promise, even now. See you Sunday morning, in person or online.
