In this message, Eric connects Psalm 67’s vision of being “blessed to be a blessing” with a deeper biblical identity: exile. Looking at Jeremiah 29 and Philippians 3:20, Eric shows how Israel’s exile in Babylon shapes how followers of Jesus understand their place in the world today. We are not at home here. Our citizenship is in heaven, and that changes our allegiance, our priorities, and how we engage our city. Instead of withdrawing or revolting, we are called to seek the peace and prosperity of the place where God has sent us. The message challenges us to embrace a new identity—citizens of heaven living as exiles—and to respond practically through prayer, generosity, and mission.
