Series: Citizens

Topic: Faith, Peace

Book: Jeremiah

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:1–14

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Mark Deering introduces the concept of having a “faithful presence” in whatever situation God has placed us, even if it’s not where we want to be. He encourages us to be fully engaged with our current circumstances and the people around us—to be accessible, available, and vulnerable. He relates this to Jesus’s incarnation and God’s faithful presence in believers’ lives. The sermon concludes with the importance of being present and seeking the welfare (“shalom”) of one’s community.
