How Christians Should Live in Babylon | Jeremiah 29 Sermon by Stan Key

How should Christians live faithfully in a culture that does not share their beliefs?In this timely sermon from Jeremiah 29, Stan Key explains what it means to be a citizen of Jerusalem while living in Babylon. Christians are strangers, pilgrims, and exiles whose true citizenship is in the City of God—but God has strategically placed us in the world to represent Jesus and love our neighbors.Jeremiah’s message to the exiles offers five practical instructions for believers:Remember who you are.Be content where God has placed you.Love your Babylonian neighbors.Choose your spiritual leaders carefully.Trust the promises of God.Instead of assimilating into the culture, attacking it, withdrawing from it, or surrendering to despair, followers of Jesus are called to seek the shalom of their communities. We build, plant, serve, pray, and love—because God loves the people of Babylon.Our residence may be in Babylon, but our citizenship is in Jerusalem.
