"There was one time every Sunday where you take off your hat, and you sit under one roof with a group of people, and you say, ‘We're in this together, aren't we?’" Ethan Hawke



Community matters. We were designed for life together with others, especially in exile. We see this in Daniel 1 and 2. This is the living out of Jeremiah's letter to exiles.

Exile is our reality. Do we allow God to shape us, or are we getting bitter?



Psalm 137 is a difficult example of a people being hardened in exile.

Too often, we read the words of Jeremiah 29:11 out of the context of the exile. There is promise in these words, but not away from the work of exile. Followers of Jesus must be careful to avoid edits even when they are "small and carefully considered.”



Promise without difficulty leads to entitlement.

Jeremiah 24 & Jeremiah 18

Today, we circle back to John 18 and take a second look at the story of Jesus' resurrection.

The story of the resurrection of Jesus is amazing and difficult. It is that way for us today, and it was that way for John and Peter then. Yet even though they didn't understand what they saw, they still believed. How do our lived experiences reflect theirs?
