“There’s No Vacation in Exile?”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on May 4, 2025.
Continues the So That’s What That Means? sermon series.
Covers Jeremiah 29:4-14 and Romans 5:1-11.
We have heard that God knows plans for us - not to harm us, but to prosper us, and to give us a future and a hope. It might surprise us that God originally spoke these words to people entering an exile in the country that conquered them and destroyed their home that most of them would never leave, not to people ready to enter the best of times. Maybe seeing this context helps us find a resilient salvation that brings transformation and thriving to any circumstance, with even unexpected people, and helps us know God will walk with us all the way through anything, even if we aren’t promised easy escape or constant comfort.
