In this message, Minister Mark Ashton teaches what it means to live as exiles—people called by God to thrive in a world that isn’t their home. From the Babylonian captivity to modern culture, this sermon unpacks how to live faithfully in the midst of pressure, isolation, and moral decline. Drawing from Daniel’s courage, Jeremiah’s wisdom, and God’s promises in Jeremiah 29, Mark challenges us to build, plant, and seek the peace of the city—even when life feels far from where we hoped to be. Discover how God uses exile to refine His people, restore hope, and remind us that our true citizenship is in heaven.
