More Than a Story
Faith is confident trust in what God has said, even when it's not visible. Exile sharpens our dependency on God's promises, not culture's affirmation. When we feel displaced or pressured to conform with competing stories, our roots must go deeper into God's story, not ours.
Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-16
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.
