Anchor Passage: Jeremiah 29:1-7

Just as God loves us and is angered by what destroys us, we love our cities by being angered at what destroys them. Join us as we learn how to seek the good of our cities!

Imagine being dragged from your home by your enemies and forced to live in their land – a land governed with different values and a decadent city. Would you desire to express anger towards the city where you live? Or would you seek the good of the place where God has carried you? We can learn from God’s instructions to a group of exiles to see how He would desire us to view our cities today. Just as God loves us and is angered by what destroys us, we love our cities by being angered at what destroys them. A righteous anger leads us to love and serve our cities.
