Instructions for the Exile

Have you ever had the feeling that you’re a stranger living in a strange land? Have you ever felt like you’re not quite at home in today’s culture?  These feelings can be small annoyances, but they can also lead to major worry and anxiety as we seek to live in a world that can seem hostile or uncaring. During this 5-week series, we’ll explore a period of biblical history in which God’s people were conquered, removed from their homeland, and forced to live in exile, under the thumb of foreign rulers.  They experienced, first-hand, what it meant to wrestle against their surroundings, yet still feel and share God’s love and hope.  Though every feeling of exile is challenging, we’ll learn how it’s also an opportunity for followers of God to embrace their true connection to him and grow the ability to see themselves as citizens of God’s Kingdom Watch Full Service Story Project Discussion Guide The post Instructions for the Exile appeared first on Journey of Faith.
