Message: “Serving Babylon” from Brian Richardson

Serving "Babylon" means showing up faithfully in a place that may not cheer for us, because our loyalty is not to the crowd, but the Kingdom. We plant gardens, love our neighbors, and do good--not because Babylon deserves it, but because God has called us to it.

Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16

From Series: "Blessing Babylon"

The Bible is God’s saving story for each one of us, but what about the parts of the story that seem out of place? How does salvation fit the occupation by Rome, bondage in Egypt, and exile in Babylon? What if we understood these parts of the story as God’s way of saving us from ourselves? As we learn to embrace exile in today’s culture we will realize our purpose found in God’s grace…grace that still saves, provides freedom, and calls us to bless Babylon.
