In this sermon, we delve into the complexities of following Jesus in a world that often feels like Babylon. The sermon explores the imagery of the great prostitute from Revelation and the difficulties believers face in remaining faithful amidst a society that is at odds with God's kingdom. It emphasizes that following Jesus is not an easy path and that true discipleship involves resisting the seductions of a world that is under the sway of Satan. The sermon also highlights the hope that comes from understanding that God's justice will ultimately prevail and that Babylon will fall, urging believers to live as faithful exiles and citizens of God's kingdom.
