Word-Filled Exiles | Jeremiah 29:1-14 | John Baker

What does it look like to live faithfully when the world around you doesn’t share your values, hopes, or loves?In this message from Jeremiah 29, we explore what it means to live as Word-Filled Exiles. God’s people are not called to withdraw, revolt, or assimilate, but to build lives where He has sent them, seek the good of their cities, and pray faithfully for the people and places around them. This sermon invites us into the quiet, countercultural power of ordinary faithfulness. Showing up. Living with integrity. Loving our neighbors. Trusting God with the long haul.Ultimately, this passage reminds us that exile is not the end of the story. God promises His presence, a future, and a hope. And that promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus, the One who entered our exile to bring us home.Whether you feel disoriented, weary, or simply unsure how to live faithfully in this moment, this message offers a hopeful, grounded vision for following Jesus right where you are.
