What story are you living? We are all in the middle of a story. It’s the story of redemption, the story of grace, the story of Jesus. And it’s his story, not ours. We didn’t make it up, it’s not fantasy, and the ending is already set—but it’s a story all the same. It has a beginning, middle, and end, a sovereign narrator, narrative tension, a hero, and plenty of plot twists. Being able to imagine this story, to hold it in your mind, enables you to better live the Christian life. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on Jeremiah 29:1–14, showing how this text points to where we are in God’s story, and therefore how we are to live in the story. He begins with getting the plot right (seeing how Israel’s story is our story) and then shows that God has placed us where we are to flourish and bless, in hope of things to come, as we keep our eyes on him.
