Sermon on Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14. This is the first sermon in our four-week sermon series called The Promise of Life.

This short Advent series focuses on the promises God made to Israel for new life after the exile. Jesus fulfills these promises in his incarnation, so we wait in anticipation for Jesus to be born among us once again, trusting that God will bring us life.

In this sermon, we explore how God promises real shalom—not nostalgia—and calls us to seek flourishing where we are.
